Exclamation Crazy Crazy people

Has anyone else encountered crazy, hateful people while using this or any other dating site?, i mean like if you have not done as they would have liked have you received crazy,rude,nasty, even vicious mail and stuff from them?. I only ask this as i have and it's really freaked me out and i would like to know if its a rare thing or if it's really wide spread.

Default Crazy People

If someone messages you or even just sends you a wink, it's the same thing as someone knocking on your door. Believe it or not, you have choice of whether to answer it or not! If their profile doesn't fit my needs, I just block them...PERIOD. It's annoying to keep getting unwanted mail, especially when you have limits. So just don't be afraid to makes friends with the DELETE and BLOCK buttons. HAHA

You can also use the Abuse Report functions on the site to report unacceptable behaviour.

On GoCougar we expect members to treat each other with respect. It's important to note that everyone is entitled to their opinion. However, there are limits and anyone going over the top can be suspended.

Red face honestly...

I honestly have only encountered great guys here ( while I have not met one yet ) because they don't live here , I find they have been pleasant and mostly awesome in their treatment of me.

On some of the sites, yes you can encounter someone who becomes stalkerish and hateful and they harrass you but not on Go Cougar. I would not tolerate that type of abuse and would report it asap .

I hope your future experiences here at Go Cougar are Positive Ones

I don't know about crazies, but I know that most sites have women who ignore men that are trying to talk to them.

Men take rejection better if they are actually rejected instead of just ignored. So, I could imagine that this would make some men hostile.

You should take rejection the same way regardless. It's nothing personal - not all people click. It is nice to get a polite "no thanks", but it's by no means necessary.

And yes, definitely report people for threatening e-mails (or anything that makes you really uncomforatable). Don't feel guilty about reporting people for that!!

Hey guys, understand where you are coming from regarding the no write backs etc. Just wanted to let you know that the men on here do the same thing. If they don't write back, I just shrug it off and say "their loss" Take care all

Snupher and anyone else with this same sense of entitlement.....No one is REQUIRED to respond to you. Just because you express interest in someone doesn't mean we have to write you back for fear of being rude. If a guy doesn't write me back, I just figure I'm not his type....no hard feelings.

Default Fair is fair!

I appreciate getting a polite "no thank you" or "not interested", because at least I know my email was read and it makes me feel like I am a human being. When you don't get a reply, it just leaves questions.

Though it is correct to say that there is no obligation to respond, is it not hypocritical to say in the same sentence that you don't want guys to just send winks? That you want them to take the time and write something interesting or personal? If there is a good chance we aren't going to get a response at all, then do we really want to spend the extra time writing out something that very well may not even be read? Seems like a double standard.
