For me, it is rude not to respond to messages I receive. There have been a few times when I have been in a hurry or the sendee had obviously not read my profile, that I have ignored a message, but that is very rare for me. Even if I am not interested, I always respond with a quick messages of "thanks, but no thanks."
I'm not a fan of the "Wink wink" feature, so I do generally ignore those. If the guy doesn't want to take the time to write a personal note of interest, forget it.
I do tend to ignore many chat boxes that pop up. I'm not a fan of rude young men who automatically assume you want to chat to them.
I suggest you take the time to read a woman's profile before you message her. As someone else pointed out, we want to know you are interested enough to read about us and get to know us on a deeper level. Mention something in her profile that intrigued you. Ask about it further. Make that effort to show you are REALLY interested and not just another fly-by-profile-and-send-a-quick-message guy.
Oh, and don't send a mass message, the same writing to every woman. Most times it is so obvious and a big turn off. I had one guy say he was attracted to my great smile. Well thanks, but I don't have a face pic on my profile. DUH!
