Generally speaking if a guy replied but wasn't what I was looking for (dads, much older, far away)I would say "thanks for your message but due to the fact you (insert issue like kids)I don't think we would be a good match". Some guys thanked me for responding. Others got nasty and I blocked them. I used to respond to nasty messages but later on just blocked them. I would get a lot of nasty messages from men either looking for sex or were dads and mad because I refused to date them. If a guy fit what I was looking for but not physically I would still chat with them because you never know. Perverts and spammers I generally blocked.
I once contacted a man on POF who fit what I wanted to a T. Sent him a fairly long message on Monday, he read it Tuesday and deleted Wednesday. I was disappointed he rejected me and wish he said why but he wasn't interested so I moved on.
I've ignored messages and some of my messages have been ignored.
I've had ongoing exchanges evaporate into thin air and some have been my fault by just losing interest(although I'm still kicking myself for doing that with one particular woman).
So, I really can't complain about some of my pet peeves concerning online dating because I'm just as guilty of them.
How is ignoring a message rude? if there is no attraction then it's no point in responding
If a woman asked you out in real life that you were not interested in, would you thank her and decline, or would you say nothing, turn heel and walk away without acknowledging?

"Oh, right, a double-date sounds so cool! Let's do it, I'll bring my special one and you bring yours, deal?"
i think the "wink/no response" and the "wink/wink back" rules works fine. you are either interested or not. no one should complain about deleting winks. you can block winks but dont get all uptight if get messages like "hello" from guys you're not attracted to.
Because being rude strokes your superiority, power trip complex. That's right, you get to prove you are in control of your own life by walking away from a person in such a way rather than being polite and thanking them. I mean, after all, of course they should want to go on a date with you because of who you are - so, them having the nerve to ask you out or show interest in you is expected anyway.

I have a superiority complex now? No. I didn't expect to be asked out nor do I have to prove anything. I didn't want to deal with them. Big whoop. Get over yourself and quit crying. Would it be better to say "I'm not interested."? If so, how does 3 words make things better? Utterly pointless. Your caught up in the irrelevant. Bottom line is that the person isn't interested.

I would say I am engaged
