Are We Owed a "No Thanks" in Online Dating?

Over a year ago, Soon2BeCatLady blogged about "Why Girls Don't Respond To Your Online Dating Mesage" in a response to a dating advice columnist suggesting to send a form letter out to anyone who catches your eye.  (As you should all know by now, CatLady is AGAINST the form letter.)  This week, controversy was stirred up by a commenter on this post, when he suggested that women will never be equal to men until they go through countless profiles, put themselves out there for rejection and write out a thoughtful message without even a "No Thank You."

Is anyone really "owed" a "No, thank you" when it comes to online dating?  Soon2BeCatLady and A_Dude79 will give their thoughts and opinions (which, with any luck, will differ for your entertainment.)   CatLady DID invite the commenter on the show, but he declined, assuming that the deck would be stacked in CatLady's favor.  (Maybe he'll call in after he hears that CatLady really is a nice girl.)
