"I don't mind the initial greeting, it's when they barely say anything else afterwards, as if they can't actually communicate. What was the point of you messaging, if you can't get your words out?" That's basically what I asked back at the end. | |||

"Why do people just message with 'hi'. You send a reply back, then maybe get one back. Start to ask a few questions, then they read but don't reply. So annoying. " If I have time and am feeling playful I respond to short messages with similar short replies to see how long it takes them to actually say something meaningful. Most times however it is as you say, it ends with nothing. At this point I say “Thanks for the chat, we must do it again” Then I either never hear from them again or I get a short excuse like “Sorry, work call” and then nothing or a friend request 🤣🤣🤣 | |||

"Hey! Seems to be the other alternative, quick look at the profile but I don’t often bother with a reply. " I agree, a solitary 'hi' or 'hey' will seldom attract my attention! Better to just send a wink! | |||

"I do stress in my profile that I wont answer to those sort of messages, so its a good indication to whether the person sending it has actually read the profile. If the message says nothing more I generally delete it without opening it, and because you can see the first line in message preview, it makes it easy to filter. This. I'm exactly the same and find one word opening messages as an excellent filtering mechanism. | |||

"It doesn’t annoy me in the slightest as it’s basically a “hello there” message. Don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. It’s the messages which follow that you’re looking for more" This | |||

" If he has an interest in you, he will return to you; it does not matter whether it is a single word or twenty. There is no necessity to express everything you wish to say in your initial message. I fail to comprehend why anyone would be irritated by a simple 'hi.' There are countless reasons to be upset in this world, yet I have never encountered anyone who could be offended by a mere 'hi.' 😂😂😂😂😂 | |||

"I only respond to “hi” if they look hot, no pics and it’s gets ignored. But most chats starting with “hi” end as there is no conversation at all. " Haha that’s true, if a guy I like the look of says “hi”, I’ll respond If the profile has no pics then I just ignore and delete | |||

"Get inundated with the "hows you". But, that is still an improvement on the one I had before on Fabswingers where the gentleman's opening gambit was "come suck my meat now, fucking slut". Suffice to say, one did not go suck his meat. I usually just respond back to "hi" with a very identical hi. They soon lose interest." Let me guess, according to his profile he was straight? | |||

I’m not bothered by them, I just don’t respond. Why should someone expect a reply?" Firstly, I do not observe many individuals here claiming to receive 100 messages daily. I am referring to those who receive 3 to 4 messages each day, so why not discuss the norms? Many fall into this category. Secondly, I have replied to numerous 'hi' messages and have successfully met with some of those individuals. I will continue to respond to 'hi' messages, but you may not. I wish you good luck. | |||
