Not answering questions
| Fri, 06-24-2005 - 9:47am |
I'm currently emailing a few guys and I've noticed that a few do not answer the questions I put in my email. Simple ones like: how long have you lived in ****? what do you do for a living? Is it oversight or do you think some men don't read the whole email or do some avoid some questions? I'm just curious. Kinda bugs me.

I think it may be a combination of all 3. How many questions are you asking? If you are asking more than 3, it could be an oversight or perhaps they feel like they are filling out a job application. :)
Are you asking questions that can be answered by looking at their profile? I know for me, if someone asks me questions that are in my profile, it makes me wonder if I they haven't read it, and I may gloss over those questions.
However, if they are avoiding all of the questions you ask, I say NEXT. To me that means they aren't paying attention. If they aren't paying attention now in early emails, then they aren't going to pay attention later on down the road.
Hi Donna,
I run into that also with guys not answering questions that I ask, but usually they will answer one question. Yet I have had guys not answer any questions and also ask me things that I have already said in my profile - so that shows me that they haven't even read my profile.
I generally ask 2 questions, but no more than 3, in an email that I send to a guy (after we have done the first wink or ice breaker), that way they have something to write about in an email. I re-read their profile just to make sure I don't ask about something he has already revealed in his profile - yet I might ask more about it to clarify it.
I find that many guys don't like to talk about their jobs right away, not sure why really unless they think a lady is just looking for someone who makes the cashola or something if she asks about that???
But if in a second email he stills doesn't answer anything I've asked, then I tend to lose my interest and move on. Guys can be strange.... ;) But I also think that it could be an oversight also for some of them.
