You better believe I'm saying something nasty back. I get so sick of woman sending back that THANKS nonsense when they can just delete the message and block me.

Why waste time sending that ladies if you are not interested???? It's called DELETE and BLOCK
Thanks.

I do this. They do that. I hate the response. But I keep doing the same thing. And getting the same result. I forget if this is the definition of dumb or crazy.

Guys with fragile egos can be very scary.

And if they did you'd be here starting a thread about all the stuck up beotches who can't graciously accept a simple compliment.

No I wouldn't because whoever doesn't response I don't think about because i just move on to the next. But if someone responds back I assume they are interested and when I see "thanks" I get irritated.

ok everybody calm down now. TVSG, I understand where you're coming from. Here's what you do...when they say "Thanks" then you message back "You're very welcome. Would you like to chat sometime?" and then see where it goes. It honestly could mean that they ARE interested - otherwise, as you pointed out, they would delete and block.

When I was online dating, if I had NO interest in a guy, I wouldn't even respond to anything he sent. Food for thought.

So let me ask you this OP, if you gave a woman a compliment in person, would you rather her say thanks? Or slap you across the face and tell you to **** off? Cause it sounds like you would prefer that

I guess because the women who are interested usually respond with "so how are you" They are showing some interest in getting to know me

So I see a thanks as "thanks but no thanks"

In public she has no choice but to say thanks. On the web she has the option of ignoring me. She would be unable to ignore me in public
