I got a completely different vibe from your previous post.

Well good for them. some people have the time and effort available to respond to lots of random people. Especially when they're rich celebrities who have something to gain in public image

Let me see if I understand your reasoning: someone whose time is far more valuable than anyone's on this board should be obligated to respond to mail from 7 year-olds, but anyone on this board is too durned busy to click the "Not Interested" button on CM.

Uh-huh.

I like this reasoning. It totally demonstrates no entitlement issues.

quote:

Do you invite salespeople by having a front door on your house, or a phone line?

No. But I also didn't put up a billboard available to 60% of the planet, stating, "I am interested in what you have to sell."

quote:

pretty much everyone who isn't a man, and certain men too.

Right. No entitlement to be seen.

quote:

Much easier to make money that way.

It's easier to make money by spending time replying to letters from kids in junior high than, oh, say-- writing another novel/screenplay???

Seriously...dollar for dollar...that makes sense?

There are plenty of wealthy celebs who don't answer mail. The difference between these two groups is that one has class.

quote:

I might be wrong but reading between the lines it actually sounds as if you do not like women. Just the impression I get.

I love women. Life would be meaningless without them.

But I see a looooot of entitlement in their tribe.

quote:

Answering them all would be a draining waste of time. Not to mention that being a slave to my inbox isn't exactly the relationship I came here to find...

And yet, the profile stays active.

quote:

Do you really believe that? Because I don't. They hire people to do that, and I'm sure those people have an assistant to weed out what is actually fan mail. And I am assuming you are talking actual mail, not the internet.

I would sorely enjoy watching you call Harlan a liar. That would be fun. Piers would just utter a, "Ppff--" and walk away, because he's kind of a hippy.

TieMe-- I wasn't quite sure I got the gist of what you were saying, honestly. Sorry. Thanks for the post, though.

quote:

The very first weekend I joined CM, I got 300 messages. In the few months I've had this version of my profile, I estimate a total of about 1000. In my experience, the people who claim to answer all messages get very few.

Any reason you didn't hide your profile, go through the messages, then put it back up again?

What is it you're trying to accomplish? What criteria do you use to discern which of 1,000 emails you answer, and which you don't?

Kalik-- yes, if those were initiating messages, they deserve no response. I didn't get that OP has posed his question in that way.

quote:

Why in the world would ANYONE feel entitled to a reply on a site like this?

Because it's common courtesy not to ignore someone you've invited to communicate with you.

quote:

Nope. I don't owe a stranger anything.

And yet, you solicit their attention.

quote:

now, i do not have to hide my profile, and i certainly don't want to. why the hell should i just to suit some whining arsehole?

Ummm...because you are inviting a bunch of unsoliticed mail you don't intend to respond to?

Picture a grocery store offering a special on milk, then locking the doors when customers show up.

quote:

Are you surprised no one responds to someone with a single sentence profile? Seriously, if you can't take the time to care enough about yourself to put it out there why in the world should someone take the time on you too?

I don't send the profile: I send the message. And a minimal effort in response (clicking a single button!) does not seem like an unfair or inequitable expectation.

quote:

While again I'm sure some folks would just love to drop to their knees in front of such a man 95+% of the women here would like to be considered something more than a twat-carrier/owner. Your words, without a doubt, have already come back to bite you in the ass and any smart submissive has undoubtedly looked at your posting history and has seen some of your true colors.

If you got the conclusion you state in that first sentence from my post, then you misread my post. Go back and try again. I never made that statement. Someone who misspells "chord" and "lala" ought be careful criticizing the words of others and bandying about terms such as "idiot."

FOR THE RECORD: "douchenoodle" has always been one of my favorite expletives. It has that repeated "oo" sound.

I invited communication under a very limited set of circumstances.

If a person can't be bothered to read a profile and to find out the parameters of the person they are writing to before casting their nets? It certainly is not up to the person they picked at random to explain that to them.

Oh, and just for the record, when you DO reply (out of common courtesy) and point this out, even politely? 9 times out of 10 you get a snarky and condescending reply.

Gee so sorry my being sick made me misspell a word. Come get me and lock me up. Still doesn't change the point that you have your head so far up your ass that you just like to argue for the sake of seeing your words posted since obviously no one else wants to read them in emails or even listen to you in person I'm sure so this is undoubtedly your last resort. For someone who wants to PMS over verbiage you may want to find another word because you've all but played out "entitled" and so what if we're entitled. You're entitled to send UNSOLICITED emails (a word you, yourself used) and people are ENTITLED TO NOT RESPOND. And who cares how wonderful of a letter you write, the fact remains that people will still flash to your profile and see a single line entry and see nothing more than someone who is either: 1. looking for just sex, 2. can't be bothered spending time on himself and how he presents himself, or 3. just a lazy bum. The more you speak the more you show yourself to be ignorant and someone who just likes to stir the pot. The entire post started people someone was whining over not getting responses and that's likely because he was trying to contact sane people while he maintained an insane profile and was clearly seeking people not interested in his world of wackness. Perhaps you should learn to exercise some discretion and learn to refrain from posting when everyone here is pointed out you're way of thinking is very askew. And, essentially, you're a waste of time so that's my final words on the matter. Spew your gibberish all you want you're not worth the time to come back here to see what more idiocy might come from you.

Yes, for the sake of PR and to further his career, it is wise to either hire out someone to answer the letters or to do so yourself.

As a slave, I don't give a shit about PR, particularly if I'm no longer looking (as my profile clearly states).

Since less than half of the emails I get show ANY sign that they have actually READ my profile, for these people there is no billboard. They are just writing to a picture.

He has to keep wanting people to buy those books. What good is another novel/screenplay if he has alienated his fanbase to the point that they won't buy/see what he produces? It is called sales and marketing.

What is it you're trying to accomplish? What criteria do you use to discern which of 1,000 emails you answer, and which you don't?

For me, I used the hover function. I used my gut to determine if something was worth answering, spending about 15-30 seconds per email to determine if I was going to delete it unread. If it was a one-liner or was about sex, it was being deleted so I clicked on the little box and hovered on the next message. I could get through a page of emails very quickly that way, then I could just "delete checked" and a whole slew of them would be "deleted unread".

You seem to keep insisting that I've invited strangers to communicate with me. Just because I have a profile here doesn't make that true. The only person I owe anything to is myself (and now my Master). A stranger's email in my inbox (the vast majority of the time) is the equivalent to an email selling me Viagra or penis enlargement pills.

The vast majority of the emails I have gotten were either one-liners of the "hi how are you" or "on your knees bitch and suck my cock" or they were unsolicited cock shots. I've gotten emails from people just for the sake of calling me fat. The email that gives me something to respond to is rare. Very rare.

Huh?

I don't believe that I ever used unsolicited, or any of the other crap you have accused me of.

if that was NOT aimed at me, I suggest you quickly figure out how to either QUOTE a post, or at least learn to preface your posts with the ID of who you are adressing them to.

ALso? WALL OF TEXT.. often gets ignored. Paragraphs are your friend.

FR

I just received an email that said "Hello slut. How are you?" The guy who sent this to me obviously didn't read my profile because A) it mentions at the very top that I'm owned (and that he doesn't share) and B) any dominant male outside of a 10 yr age range from me is going to bulk mail (I'm 44, he is 31).

I did respond, though. My response was:

Hello dickweed,

I suggest you read my profile and try that again with a little respect.

For what it's worth, I honestly don't remember the last time I wrote someone an email and it was ignored. Unfortunately, the site only keeps records for six months. After that six months, it's anybody's guess.

It's not a question of time. I don't wish to subject myself to the heaps of abuse I receive when I say that I'm not interested.

No. But I also didn't put up a billboard available to 60% of the planet, stating, "I am interested in what you have to sell."

1) My profile has said that I'm just here for the forums....for years. Men still email me even though I'm not interested in what they're selling.

2) Let's say you want to refinance your house and you go onto one of those comparison websites to compare rates. After that you're receiving tons of email offers from every mortgage company in the country. So, you must send a polite response to every offer even though they're not what you're looking for....because you have been deemed to be interested in what they're selling.

3) Men on these sites often ignore what a woman has listed in her profile....apparently they think they're so sparkly and special that what ever she wants doesn't matter and he's the exception. Just because someone is looking for a male dominant doesn't mean they're looking for you.

To the op, your thread here tells me everything one would need to know about you and they are probably very very glad they did not respond to you. Whiners are not attractive.

You want a woman to respond to you? Stop acting like a child.

Well of course random women kneel in front of YOU and suck YOUR cock. But the OP clearly is not as skilled as you when it comes to enticing the ladies.
