It must be a Canadian thing, Lulu. I always answer my messages. I have to admit when I keep reading that same bio of a military guy with kids, it is just a formality. I don't believe for one minute they want a friend. They are scam artists. That said, I do get some guys that I believe are looking for love. When I tell them I only want friendship, we wish each other luck. I think that means they were sincere.

You are doing the right thing, it's called house keeping. Why keep useless messages and waste time you know will go nowhere? You cant please everybody. There might come a day when the 'vibes' are right.

Judgment Day will be interesting - and all paths lead there.

Hi Lulu: Same here. I used to answer every message just to be polite, but now if they're in another country I just delete them. 99.9% of my messages are from scammers leaving their e-mail address.

Another thing I find strange is who is viewing my profile. Some men view my profile ten times a day and keep hotlisting me even though I have no pic, but when it started to show that almost every married man in the blogs keeps viewing my profile, I just don't believe that feature could possibly be accurate.

Those who I suspect are scammers I report, then delete. Those who seem quite sincere I respond to and although personally not available, I do like to wish them well in their search.

I don't get many e-mails but those I have gotten have all been fakes. I can tell from the style and content of the writing, even if they claim to be in my state. At one time I used to have some fun with them, now I just find it tedious and delete the e-mails.

I started out like you- send everyone a thank you even though most were thank you but. I soon stopped that unless the sender passes my screening for being real and appropriate . (yes, I am a discriminatory snob in this instance but it's my time and money to spend as I see fit). I used to respond with a sarcastic letter to my rejects about agreeing that they are the answer to my prayers and I would join them as soon as they send their private jet to pick me up. I stopped doing this when my scam rinses started getting spam responses that showed the guy could not have possibly read my response..

99.99°/ of my "rejects" are bogus scams. If I want to deal with fantasy and fraud I can get a job that will pay me to do so.
