That is exactly what we always say when we respond to similar inquiry's, and it has always worked out fine. Funny thing is, every once in a while we meet and actually hit it off, even though we were certain that we had no interest based on their profile.

Thanks for the responses. I emailed them inviting them to come say hi. I can based on the profile that we are 99.99% sure we have no chemistry.

The only thing I would add to what the fuse and vegas said is... It's a small world...everyone knows everyone.. and people talk.. if you get known as a rude couple. It will come back to haunt you.

Very good point!

We got asked to send some face pics and shipped some over to the couple and we got the one liner of " thanks but were no compatable" note. I thought to myself like okay f u but looking at it now it's like hey at least we didn't waste any time. Their loss!

Good point, didn't think of that. I was just a little put off by the original email in that it didn't really leave us any choice in the matter. But I guess it is no different than if they just introduced themselves with no email.

We get these types of emails pretty often in regards to events we sign up for. Our typical response (whether we might be interested or not) is simply "See you there" or "if you see us there be sure to say hello". And leave it at that. We figure we don't really know if we are interested in until we meet them and neither do they, but at the very least it's nice to have some pre-contact with a few people, it makes the night go easier. And no sense is turning down someone who hasn't even propositioned you yet... just seems rude.

I just remembered another, similar situation. We got an email from a couple that said, paraphrasing, "Oh my, what a couple! We're going to xxx party on xxx date (about a week and a half from the date of the email). Can we meet sooner?" This just rubbed me the wrong way because they seemed to be assuming we would automatically want to meet them in any case (we didn't).

I wrote back something neutral to the effect that we wouldn't be available to meet anytime soon, but maybe we'd see them out at a M&G sometime.

Never did meet them..I think I saw them from across the room (large night club so hard to say) but I was trying to track down my wife (she was having fun!) and figured we'd run into them at some point. But never saw them after that so perhaps they left? Due to the size of the club it's easy to miss people. It may also be that they are not into the nightclub scene so much.
