When someone sends you a private message, do you reply first or go to their profile to look at there pictures to to see if there worthy of a response? I have messaged a few folks with no response. I have never received a message and not answered it. To me it is common decency to at least reply. Perhaps I should have used a fake picture or put shit in my profile to appease other folks. If I have messaged you and you did not respond, I surmise you were not worthy of my question or message. Funny how a few of these folks label themselves as humanists! I ain't looking to get laid, just looking for human interaction with what I thought would be like minded folks. To those who don't respond because of looks I suggest you get off that high horse for it is really just a camel and the hump is up your ass. Aren't I a pleasant feller,lol Oh and no I am not typically an arrogant ass though just tired of "humanists" that really don't act the part they try to portray. I don't give two shits what you look like or if your profile contains things I don't agree with. In fact I would be more interested if we did not agree on everything. Rant over and you are free to admonish my post. if you do, you can be sure I will respond in kind.

It depends upon their message. If they message me obviously wanting to date or something along those lines and I decide I'm not interested, for whatever reason, I do not answer. Hear me out! For me, rejection is devastating. I would rather someone just not answer me rather than say I'm not interested because of this, this and this.
As a for instance: someone messaged me and I did not respond. About a week later he messaged again. Then a few minutes later said he had messaged me and wanted to know if I got it. I replied at that point saying yes I had gotten them, thanked him for his interest but said I didn't think we were a good match. Unfortunately he came back and asked why. That makes me very uncomfortable. I don't want to hurt someone's feelings or make them feel badly. I said that and he persisted again asking why. I just ignored that one.
However if someone messages me just to chat or whatever then I will almost always message back. Unless I see that they are on a completely different page than I am regarding morals, etc.

@DaneScott no problem
I've been here less than a month so I have only received a few private messages but if I receive a comment that I find interesting then I will generally click on the icon of the person who posted it to see a bit more about them and get a better idea of where they may be coming from.

I usually respond when someone messages me. Not always, because sometimes it doesn't seem a response is really needed, I don't feel the discussion is one I want to have, or I just forget.
When I message someone and they don't respond, I generally assume they did so for basically the same reasons I listed above. I might be a little sad about it, but my ego can handle a little rejection...especially from someone I don't even really know

It was a bit harsh but everyone has different levels of civility. I owned a construction firm and some of the people I employed were so harsh that there were days I felt like I was the head of a troop of baboons.
