Only serious replies

Only serious replies — Only serious replies © .

The note “only serious replies” is often used in personal ads, dating ads, and erotic listings. It means that only people who genuinely intend a serious contact, date, or concrete sexual or relationship-based encounter should respond. The aim is to reduce prank messages, games, or mere provocation.

In practice, it is impossible to completely prevent inappropriate or dishonest replies. The phrase is therefore mainly an expression of intent rather than a guarantee. Depending on the context, it can also imply that clear, respectful, and reliable communication is expected.
