User Details are only visible to members.	I always respond to someone's emails. Yes, I know that "no response IS a response", but I feel it's only fair and proper. If we get approached by someone we have no interest in, I just write a short, polite email stating something like..."Thank you very much for contacting us, but we are not interested. Best of luck to you here on SLS." No explanation of why, etc.

I hate to be ignored and would rather have an answer even if it is rejection so most of the time we just tell them as politely as possible that the chemistry is not there for a continued relationship. On more than one occasion the other party's last statement to us was on the line of, "If you want to take this to the next level, let us know." In that case if we are not interested, we just don't contact them. I'm sure that we have disappointed some people. We are sorry about that, but as all men know and most ladies know, that is part of the sexual game. We have all been rejected at one time or another. DAMN!

User Details are only visible to members.	I am starting to agree with you. I always felt a polite reponse was better than ignoring but after getting some nasty emails and being blocked by some recently I am wondering if perhaps your approach is better.

User Details are only visible to members.	Sticky problem. My best answer is to do nothing in terms of a reply. It would have been a polite "no thank you" in the past, but I've learned otherwise. People handle rejection better when it is silent. I also got tired of the "You don't know what you're missing!" e-mails. (I DO know what I am missing. Yikes. ) You never know when you might run into a couple you've rejected. It's almost always better to make it seem like life just got in the way and the ball was dropped.

In the antiques world, "One man's trash is another man's treasure" and that being said of course another couple or single will most certainly appeal to some other mix at some time. We never would want someone to feel rejected merely for appearance or simple mistakes and then feel like the whole site felt that way. Profiles can be corrected, pictures can be retaken, approaches can be modified but pushy demanding attitudes or head games need address clearly. Then it is up to them to learn from it or not. We always will stay polite yet if the threshold is crossed then of course we will block. It seems as if certain people feel they have "entitlement" to communications and explanations, and if they are enabled then they will continue to feel this way. Newcomers can most certainly make mistakes and we do provide a bit more commentary to these people when they approach us to provide some insight into what might be inappropriate, or why we feel the mix is not right. To seasoned SLS members (Or at least ones who have been on the site long enough to know) we respond politely yet clearly that the information present in the profile or the communication directly to us does not lend itself to our desired outcome. What makes it a bit easier for us as well is the fact that we do not approach anyone ever so as not to put them into a position that we are talking about here. We may be loosing out on some very good people yet we would feel worse for them having to reject us than for us being rejected. So the bottom line here is that the ones that are well adjusted totally understand and for the pushy, beyond norm types that do not we just tell them that we have "Sharp pointy sticks". (Just kidding of course).

User Details are only visible to members.	One of my ways to let people down nicely is to tell them "if you see us in the club be sure and say hello." Yes, it's a brush off, but it usually works.

User Details are only visible to members.	We are very clear in our profile that we will not engage with someone who refuses to show us a face shot, at a minimum. We've had too many occurrences, just like you've described, where we probably would have been less flirtatious if we'd had all the facts up front. That doesn't stop people from initiating contact without any pictures, though... when that happens, we have a quick response setup with the following message: "Thank you for your interest, but as our profile states, we don't feel comfortable making plans to meet someone who can't or won't share a picture beforehand." Sometimes, they will respond with a photo attached and we can proceed... most times, we never hear from them again, which is OK. When we've already engaged, perhaps even met in person, and find that it's just not going to work, for whatever reason, we send something out similar to this: "We wanted to thank you for having dinner with us last Friday, we enjoyed meeting you. Unfortunately, we don't feel we would be compatible as playmates." You don't have to get into specifics... in fact, I'd go as far as saying they don't even have a right to know the specifics since that decision is between you and your partner. Most people already know where their shortcomings are... (Like me... I'm amazing, but overweight. I completely get that some women aren't interested for that reason alone. It's why I lost 50lbs in 2012, and am shooting for another 50lbs in 2013. ) If someone insists on needing to know EXACTLY why you aren't interested, then they are just looking for drama. block them. As far as dealing with pushy couples... just block them, as NicAtNight suggested. If you know you will absolutely never want to hang out, or hook up, then you have no reason to put up with their BS. You are smoking hot, I doubt you'd have problems finding someone else interested who has more respect for you. Like us! Howdy, Neighbor! ;) (Don't worry, I read your profile and already know you'd not be interested due to my weight... that's OK, it doesn't hurt my feelings... it just motivates me to continue improving myself... because I'm drinking milk, and one day... lol)
