is it rude to...

[Lauries]

just not answer some people on internet dating site?

Some of the messages are from people I just don't feel attracted to, at all! And some are them are a bit sexist like 'hey sexy, you got msn? Msg me back yeah? and some of them type lyk dis n it drives me potty!!

Is it rude to just not respond? I mean, you can't feel attracted to everyone and aren't you just supposed to contact the ones you like?

personally, i don't respond now. when i first started and sent the 'thanks but no thanks' email in reply - they would either get snotty or bombard me with emails thinking they could change my mind.

i don't automatically expect a reply and am not offended if i don't get one

I'd say it's better not to reply to anyone in whom you're not interested. They're probably sending out loads of messages to see who takes their particular bait. I think they'd prefer to hear only from those who have a glimmer of interest in them.

ime if you give any response to blokes that you're not interested in then they'll pester message you regardless
although it seems rude to ignore it's best to remember that's it the internet and you are under no obligation to reply
