I know this thread is directed at women, but I just had a guy do this to me on OkCupid. It was kind of funny. I didn't even send him a message, but I just gave his profile a 4-star rating because I thought he was cute. (For those who don't know, you can rate profiles on OkCupid from one to five stars, and if you give someone four or five stars, they'll get an e-mail informing them that you gave them a high rating). So he sends me a message saying, "Thanks for the rating!" I guess he was trying to be polite or whatever, but it's not like I gave him a high rating out of the goodness of my heart. Either use it as an opening to talk to me or just ignore it! The "thanks" was just so unnecessary in that instance, in my opinion. It's like, way to rub it in that you're not interested! lol
Then you knew he'd recieve an email. If you had no interest other than, hey you're cute, why would a simple Thank you be a problem?

I don't personally send "thank you's" when I receive high ratings because I highly doubt the person wants a "thanks" back for something like that. If I send a high rating, it's with the ulterior motive of persuading the guy to message me (which he did, but he just said the wrong thing. lol). I just think something casual like a "wink" or a "4-star" rating can safely be ignored if you have no interest in further communication.

I don't see the point of sending a wink or rating looks. Just get up the courage to send an actual message to start a conversation.
In my profile it says if you aren't what I'm looking for, then I will not respond. I'm pretty specific on what I want so my actions reflect who contacts me

Haha, OkCupid is actually my favorite among the free sites. I've met some cool people there...much higher quality folks than Plenty of Fish where most of the men seem to be uneducated hoodlums (at least in my city). I'm at the point where I'm blocking almost everyone who messages me on that site.
