Search Results: no longer in love

A long time ago when I used dating sites, I would receive introductory messages by men who would say something like, "I love your photo, tell me more about you," or just plain old, "Hi."

At first I chose not to reply to any of the men I had no interest in. But I would get many of them pestering me with, "I sent you a message. The least you can do is thank me for it instead of leaving me hanging."

So I considered this, and decided to give all men from that point the courtesy of a reply. My reply was, "Thank you for your message, but I don't believe we are compatible. Good luck with your search." Sometimes it was merely a "I received your message. Good luck with your search."

But then I was sent angry responses back such as, "What's your problem? / You don't even know me. / Yeah. No wonder you're single."

As you can tell, I was damned if I did, damned if I didn't.

Even though I'm out of the dating pool, this has often left me wondering how GaG members handled first-approach dating app messages? Do you believe you should send all who are interested a response of some sort? Or do you think you simply don't owe everyone a reply? What do you say or not say?

I'll give you two scenarios. You can do as much as you can to steer them in the right direction and the best scenario is the child develops into a high functional psychopath (CEO, surgeon, lawyer, etc) that does competitive majors.

1st scenario:

The doctors were able to detect early on that your child indeed has chemical imbalance in his/her brain. Their prefrontal cortex (the major area responsible for empathy) has less grey matter in volume and thickness, much less than a normal brain. There is no cure for that.

2nd scenario:

If it was proven that reincarnation is true and experts at the field discovered that your child is really the reincarnation of a serial killer that got executed long ago and just like on the 1st example there is no cure for that.

Would you still love your child?
