Guest21/01/2007 at 12:24 amOh my, I thought it was just me that people didn’t want to speak to. It is so very rude indeed to ignore people, as well as extreme;y frustrating for the writer. I cannot for the life of me understand why people would want to so much as suggest that correspondence would be acceptable, let alone actively encouraged, if they have absolutley no intention whatsoever of relplying in the firat place. When I make contact I state quite categorically that I am looking for email correspondence with like minded people, which, one would assume we all are here on Tranny Radio, but am continually amazed by the total lack of curtesy, not even a “Thank you, but No Thank you”. Please Ladies if you don’t wish to make any sort of contact with the rest of the world just say so and I for one will be only too pleased to leave you alone.

Guest21/01/2007 at 10:28 ami suppose it all comes down to a couple of things … our expectations as to what we expect from a potential correspondent. just as much as we all have different opinions about most things … there will always be some degree or shade of differrence in expectations. Applying that to corresponding … well, some people are more adept and used to corresponding by email. to some people, just using a computer can be a fearful experience. the other thing is that sometimes, people’s circumstances mean that thye just cannot get to reply … they may share a computer with others in the family, for example.
personally, i have had a couple of experiences. one, a person emailed me and i responded, but then they didn’t reply. i guess that person was just not ready to engage in sharing emails. that’s fine by me … if they aren’t ready, they aren’t ready. another experience i had was when i was emailed and when i replied, the email given was incorrect. so the person trying to contact me is probably thinking i had the discourtesy of not even replying, when in actual fact, i did … to no avail.
so i try not to be too worried about these things. if you scratch the surface of who is out there in internet land … you will find more than enough people to correspond with, i’m sure.
hope this is helpful …

Guest22/01/2007 at 12:55 amHi Girls,
I also have only ever received one email from TgR and could not respond at all. I simplycould find no way to answer the email from the member at all even after following the link provided. It was sad in a way as it would be wonderful to talk with other girls from nearby (or from far and wide!)

Guest22/01/2007 at 5:58 amHello everybody,
I can see the point of this thread, and I’ve been guilty of not responding to messages, either as quickly as I could or not at all.
But on the other hand I’ve got five fingers and a thumb (boom boom!)
Sometimes I just run out of things to say…after how are you and where do you live and have you been out lately, I feel a bit silly trying to go much further on email. I know that most if not all of us could talk the hind leg off a donkey if we were sitting in a nice cafe or somewhere else face to pretty face, but after hello how are you, all I can think to write is all that stuff you don’t really want to hear, like how wonderful my wife is and what my 5-year-old said the other day. You know, all that lovely girly chatter that we would all love to be good at.
It’s like if there isn’t a two-way conversation going on, I don’t know what you want to hear from me.
I love love love being in contact with you all, and I feel delightfully close to some of the lovely ladies I’ve me here, but even those friendships suffer from the distance involved.
And there’s always a degree of difficulty involved…I often want to tell you all what kind of panties are my favourite, and what my fantasies are all about. But it’s not “polite” to be too frank (or francesca) about it all.
I’d love to be a slut, but it’s too embarrassing to be one on the net. I guess it’s not ladylike.
Having said that, I personally would be delighted if anyone were to pm me and invite me to share my deepest secrets, the depraved depths of my soul…I absolutely promise to reply at great length (and thickness)
Bless all your hearts,
Clare (modest on the outside, a cesspool of intriguing tthoughts on the inside) 😉

Guest22/01/2007 at 10:17 pmI agree with much of what has been said here, and indeed it is difficult at times actually making contact given the way the system works, but I guess it is designed to protect everyone. however, there are ways I’m sure of overcoming any shortcomings if both parties are agreeable and determined. As for general chatting and running out of things to say, I find this isn’t a problem provided you set out from the start what it is that you are seeking within the relationship/correspondence. If you are just looking for people with whom to chat once in a while about life, the universe and everything north of that, then it isn’t necessary to chatter on regardless anyway. One wouldn’t do in ‘real life’ so why feel compelled to do it over the cyber airways? I do agree that face to face has it’s obvious benefits, body language, facial expression etc, but one can also tell a lot from an email if you care to ‘read between the lines’. Personally I think there is nothing wrong whatsoever with delving into the depths of personal and very private thoughts and fantasies, and I for one enjoy the opportunity when it arises, but one has to establish the ground rules of the conversation first. If both parties are agreeable then go gangbusters and reveal all, why not, it’s only fantasy right? I think the point still remains, despite the obvious disadvantages of email, IM, or the current system employed here, and despite the problems one might have personally with what to talk about, if people ignore emails totally, it is just rude!

Guest23/01/2007 at 12:12 amI have received several emails in the past and simply do not know how to respond. There is never a return email. So I can’t work out how to send a thank you back, or start a chat. Its a simple lack of knowledge, perhaps if the people who are sending heir emails put a return email at the end of their message one can respond. Mind you, I get my fair share of “undesirables” emailing me and they do get ignored. I will not respond to men who ask me rude and stupid questions.
But anyway, I think a return or prefered email address at the end of correspondance will help people respond mor equickly and to all those who have emailed me in the past, I thank you for your comments.

Guest12/02/2007 at 12:40 amYou have my deepest sympathy regarding the bouts of depression as anyone who has trawled these terrible depths will agree, there are places where people simply shouldn’t be allowed to go, however ,please do read your mail as I’m sure there are a lot of people out there who only want to offer support and understanding. As for the others? Walk away and confine them to the rubbish bin of life. They don’t have to exist in any world you choose to be in. Stay strong and love to you, and all those who suffer.

Guest12/02/2007 at 11:16 pmHi there,
Have not posted a lot of late. I go through periods where perhaps dressing is not as exciting as it sometimes is….maybe hitting the big 50 has something to do with it.
I reply to most emails I get, but not all, you have to say something about yourself to get my attention really…… not “lets meet”. Not that there is anything wrong with meeting ( I would love to find people to meet with) but it doesn’t say too much about yourself now does it!
The link in the email seems to work ok for me to reply but I have never got a reply back again……maybe I put people off, hard to know really.
I have been guilty in leaving a great deal of time between receiving emails and sending replies, that goes back to what I said in my opening sentence. Sometimes I ma not connected with the whole dressing thing…..sorry to anybody I may not have replied promptly to but I am not lilkely to change…..just move on the next person if it bothers you.

Guest14/02/2007 at 9:00 pmStrange things must be happening because I do put a return email address on my replies but sadly there doesn’t seem to be any further communication. Granted this could be due to the fact that whoever (?) has chosen not to reply in light of my initial response, which I hope is not the case, but will possibly never know, or my replies simply aren’t getting through, again I will probably never know this either. Which ever it may be, the fact of the matter is that there are many people out there (in here!) who are either still waiting for replies that never arrive, or there are people here, who, despite suggesting they will reply to all mails, simply don’t. I’m hoping that the former is the case rather than the latter. In an exercise to establish which, I offer an open invitation to all to reply to this post and I WILL answer each and everyone.

Guest16/02/2007 at 10:20 pmPersonally I couldn’t agree more and see no problem with sharing the deepest darkest secrets of my soul with likeminded people. Chances are they also harbour such thoughts themselves anyway. As for being a slut, or whatever you wish to call it, why not? Even “Ladies” have a hidden side to them which when shown is actually quite refreshing. I would also answer anyones email who wanted to rant, shout, scream, disgrace themselves or simply slip into that land of fantasy we all drift headlong into on occasions (and usually adore the journey along the way)

Guest18/02/2007 at 10:05 pmHi, I’ve been following this string of mails with interest, at first it seemed to be a genuine need for suggestions regarding replies, now it’s taken a left turn somewhere.
If you want to discuss the ‘slutty’ side of your nature wouldn’t it be better in private? Don’t get me wrong, to quote someone,
“I’m broad minded to the point of obsenity”
We all like having fun, and I assume we all have some sort of trigger for our sex drives but I’m old fashioned to consider this as something in private between consenting adults…….then again, it’s been a stressful time recently , I might be reading too much into this?

Guest20/02/2007 at 3:22 amA slight ‘kink’ to the left maybe, but the point about replying to emails remains the same and concensus would appear to have it that in order to ensure a reply (though by no means guarantee of couse!) it is simply a good idea to add a reply email address to any correspondence. And you are quite right, in my opinion, that the more personal aspects of one’s private life should be discussed in private, and by consenting adults, but this can only happen if one can make contact in the first place. The circle is now complete.
