Organizing Wrestling Matches and Wrestling Experiences

What is it with guys who send challenges and then do not following through (never offering a time/date for a match, and not responding to suggested appointment dates/times)?

What about guys who send challenges or want to set up a match, but have no pics and are not willing to send any? It is insane, in my opinion, to send a message proposing meeting, when you have no pics, and the other guy has the maximum (number of pics) allowed in his profile. Personally, I do not need to have a face pic, in advance of meeting, but I certainly expect body pics (everyone has a cell phone or a camera or can borrow one, for the purpose of taking/sending pics). I put a lot of effort, into staying in shape and expect anyone I meet, to make an effort as well (and it is stated in my profile).

On my recent trip, I had one wrestler who expressed interest in a match, prior to my arrival in his city. As he was not certain he could host, I offered to host a match, at a place I had rented. When I had arrived, and messaged him about setting a date/time, for a match. He asked me if I had wrestling mats! He knew I was a visitor, what did he think, I was carrying a set of mats, in my luggage! When I told him, I could only offer, wrestling on a mattress, at the place I was staying. He replied that he did not like mattress matches, but would think about it! I never heard back from him! Seriously, if you don't have mats, and cannot host, why would you expect someone else, especially a visitor, to offer to host a match at a place with mats? It seems to me, he was not really interested in wrestling, just talking about the idea of a match.

I never use the challenge button and never respond to people who do except to thank them. If someone can't take the time to write some words of introduction or engage in normal social behaviour they are almost certainly too lazy to turn up for a fight and too dull witted to offer a decent one if they do. I rather wish the button were removed from this site to force people to make proper introductions.
