Default Odd emails from people

Often times when I mail someone I'll start with something along the lines of, "I checked out your profile, check out ours... blah blah blah"

But a lot of times I'll get people that are asking without asking.

Examples:

"So, what are you doing this weekend?"

"Keeping warm this winter?"

Stuff like that. It's obviously meant to show interest, but I can't help but feel odd if I am declining them. If I say, "sorry I am not interested" to a "keeping warm this winter?" It just feels funny.

Often times I find myself answering their question straight forward. Like, "Oh I was just doing some Christmas shopping this weekend, we've been really busy with the holidays." It's not really affirming or declining them.

My thoughts were that eventually they will nerve up and say, "Do you want to get together?"

I am not sure if there was a question here, but I am interested in comments on these situations.

When we first started online, we received emails from a couple but they were sort of joke/story type emails..very vague. I had assumed they were a broadcast email, though I later learned that broadcast emails had the word broacast in the topic. Since there was never a request or question I never responded. After receiving a few, they sent back a somewhat terse email about us not responding to them, and they blocked us. We were not interested in them anyway but felt a bit needlessly blamed for being rude for not responding.

I've gotten a few other more explicit emails about what the guy wants to do to my wife or me to his wife..something like that. I thought it was a bit presumptuous as there was never any "are you interested" sort of question.

And another one I just received was a statement that they liked our profile and they will meet us at a meet & greet we are attending (we're on a group list on Swing Lifestyle). I thought that was an odd way to start...what am I supposed to say..don't talk to us? Based on the profile I don't think we wil be interested (on the high end of our age range and there's not physical attraction) but what can we do at this point without coming off as rude. We'll talk at the M&G but we'll have to say sorry not interested.

I have a document that I have cut and pasted the "Hall of Shame" e-mails. I sent them to Mrs. CXXC for her to laugh about. I collect them as a hobby!

I particularly love the single males who, for some reason, cannot get it through their thick skulls, We will find them if we are so inclined.

My favorite E-mail to date is as follows:

"Hey! Your wife has a sweet ass! I would love to fuck her there! Hook me up!"

Now, that was straight forward without any invitation and a complete disregaurd for the fact that we are not looking for single males. So, I felt is was open season.

I simply replied with,

"Thanks, but No thanks. Why would she want you? She already has one asshole!"

I've not heard from him since!

As for the ambiguous e-mails, go ahead and bait them. You never know, they may be entertaining at the very least!

This isn't really an odd email situation, more of a personal pet peeve. I hate it when the entire email is just "Hey, what do you like to do for fun?"

My knee jerk response is "not you."

We have not really received any totally inappropriate emails. Plenty from both couples and singles that we were obviously not a match for. What's weird is that we, and almost all those we've discussed it with, are under the belief that not replying to emails is in no way disrespectful. No response is commonly understood as a polite no thank you. Those that feel so strong in the opposition that they feel it is necessary to send yet ANOTHER email just to let you know.......blah blah blah.......are just expressing their dissatisfaction with rejection.

The ones I don't get are like the one we got today, it said "Hello". That is it, nothing else, how do you respond to that? I just replied, "Hello", What else could I say?

Default Re: Odd emails from people

We had someone contact us through Swing Lifestyle with a simple statement.

"you can come over now, we want play"

We were new on Swing Lifestyle and any mail was a scramble to the screen, side by side, "all giddy", might be a good way to describe it, then.

So I reply " do you want to party a little bit ? " We were new, like the second day on Swing Lifestyle new..... there was a whole lot of "giddy" in what was typed. We waited..... it was like chat or something waiting on their next reply....

Then finally, a responce.....

"no, we raking leaves"

??????.... We just looked at each other.

We didn't reply, nor have we heard a peep from them since.

We have never met them to this day, over the years and live within 5 miles. They still log in daily, after years of being on Swing Lifestyle.

We too tend to scratch our heads with the emails that really don't say anything.

More than once we've gotten "nice pictures". That's it, end of email. I just respond "thanks". Or the "do you have more pictures?" "Why yes, we do".

How else could you respond. "Gee, we're so glad you like our pictures, were you implying you would like to meet?"

Some of my faves are from single males. "Hey sexy lady, I'm hard and ready for you" Or along those lines anyway... I usually respond with "Is that really the best line you've got?" They usually go away.

I have to admit I can be quite the smartass in emails - be direct with me, I'll be direct back. Send me bullshit, you'll get bullshit.

I do send emails to profiles that I feel have outstanding pictures. Typically if I see something fly by on Swing Lifestyle or the features profile. It's just meant to be a kudos and typically they are far away as well so very little chance of meeting.

Default Re: Odd emails from people

We've occasionally gotten emails like this. Once, it was "So, what are you looking for from the lifestyle?" Sounded like the lead-in to an interview. We were new and didn't know how to respond. Turned out it was a nice couple. We ended up going out with them three times.

It IS odd how perfectly normal people really don't know how to send an initial email that asks if there is interest. But really, some people are just on there to interact online, and start a conversation with "hey, do you bareback?" or some such. If I was inclined to waste my time, I would chat. We know people who will chat with anyone, wherever they are located. These are people we really like. But if they started one of those conversations with us online, we would shake our heads and ignore them. Everyone is looking for something different. Some people are just looking for idle chatter or a fantasy to stroke off to.

We get a lot of people sending emails or paging us to chat who start with "So, what are you guys into?" My generic response to them is usually "Life, liberty and the pursuit of our happiness." At least start out with Hi, How are you, or something along the way of a greeting.

This just in!!!!

I have to share this as I have been laughing about it all day!

I got an e-mail yesterday from a couple who are interested in us. They read our profile and made mention of the fact that we sem to be a "Perfect Match". They had opened up their private photos for us and would like to view ours.

I took a look at their profile and discovered that it was VERY short in description as well as lacking in any photos of the man. The photos they did offer were of poor quality, long diastance and without faces.

My reply e-mail expressed interest to know more about them as well as requesting face pictures. I even opened our G rated images with our faces for them to view. The reply had me both stunned and laughing ever since....

REPLY:
...."We dont share our face pictures but will be happy to meet anytime. After all, it's not the face you are fucking. Its the fuck you are facing."

My sides hurt!

Our favorite was the gentleman who sent us an email saying "is it time for me to come give her some more orgasms"? This was a gentleman she had played with at a party before who was definitely in the "OK" (but not great) category for her.

It seems that a lot of single men's emails imply that the reason we play is that I cannot satisfy my wife sexually. It never crosses their mind how offensive this can be to the husband of 29 years to read that, and thus they seem disappointed when we just don't jump on their invitations to to "ah'll fuk er gud fer ya".
