Side head lock's blog

Been there and know just what you mean. I think the guys with access to many opponents through proximity or mobility are just extremely selective about who they will meet. And many guys who live far from prospective opponents are also very selective about who they'd be willing to travel a long ways to meet. It doesn't take more than a few seconds to write a response to a message but a lot of guys just won't bother unless you're someone they'd very much like to meet. For what it's worth I'd wrestle you in a heartbeat.

I've replied mate am always will

Hi I agree with Bama and Gazbat only takes a minute to reply either way thanks but no thanks. Think some guys just like chatting about a meet but no intentions of meeting. Shame cos there is some decent guys on here.

Ur right mate pity there's some who take the piss

Agree. A simple reply is good manners. I make it a point to reply to every guy who messages me. Just a simple thanks for contacting me, but no thanks if I'm not interested. Where there's a long distance and I AM interested I'll ask if the guy is ever in town here to contact me and we'll set up a match.
BTW I often find myself wishing I had a private jet ready to fly when a guy I want to wrestle lives thousands of miles away.

The problem is that too many people think that common manners don’t apply to the internet.
Fortunately, there are some who do take the time to read messages (and profiles) and reply.
I know those of us who share the same views as myself will get “shot down” by those who say “it’s done to the recipient to decide who to reply to” but how long does it really take to say “hi thanks for your message but blah blah blah”?

So true mate if ur not going to reply to messages why join the site

This is an ongoing issue here. It’s very rude to just ignore a message. That being said, make sure you read the profile first. If someone describes who they want to meet and it isn’t you, maybe don’t message them.

Hello .but then there's the guys who go nuts with u because u don't reply (have had a few) quick enough now I live in the UK so if I get a message from say the USA it will take hours for me to see it because of the time thing because when he's awake I might be sleeping .ps and I have guys look at my profileafter I have message then .imo there snobs and that being nice

As I said in the last no reply thread, sometimes no reply is the best reply. Personally I don't feel any connection of "feelings" one way or the other. Respond or no respond the answer is till no. After all, we all have preference. So just because I won't accept a steak rare doesn't make it inferior in any way. In fact, its much preferred by the majority. Just not by everybody.

I honestly cannot think of one instance where "no reply is the best reply" assuming it is the first contact.

It's like this it's just plan rude not to reply no matter if you click or not a simple sorry not what I am looking for not replying seems like you think your better than me like I said before it's just RUDE not to reply end of story .ps and be ing a key board prat is just not on

sadly it is somewhat par for the course. i have learned that it is simply part of the process and move on.

Suggestion for admin:

Build into messaging a one click option. If you click it, it automatically replies "sorry, not interested." That way there is no excuse for not responding to someone. I don't know how much work that would entail, but it would definitely end this debate.

Like you I took this (no reply / no manners situation) personally. Anyway it make me feel so much better when I find I am not alone with this situation.
On another point if we were accessible (distance & time) then I would very much like a meet with you....
