hell no.. why lead them on? By responding to them you're wasting not only your time but theirs as well.. by not responding to them you're actually doing them a big favor!
Well said. Same goes the other way around.
I just wished guys would understand that when a woman doesn't respond, it is for the same reasons stated. They don't want to talk to you, and feel that if they respond, they won't be able to get rid of you. There is plenty of evidence to support that being the case. So no, it is not always because she just wants attention and an ego boost, usually she doesn't find you attractive enough for her, for whatever reason she doesn't see just how money you are!, so she won't waste her time, and yours.
A lot of guys are delusional and tell themselves "Women don't respond to GREAT ME, because they are just there being AW's."
A good way to tell if they don't respond to you because you are not good enough for them, or because they are just AW's, and/or have too many options online, is by comparing them to the kind of chicks you get off line. If you don't usually pull hot chicks off line, then don't expect chicks out of your league to respond. If average girls, who would be honored for you to give them the time off line, ignore you online, either your profile sounds like the rest to the other guys', she's an AW, and/or she has much better options online than in person.
