Percentage of ‘no reply’

Having been on the end of many ‘no reply’ after sending a message maybe a marker on someone’s profile that gives a percentage of the number of no replies to messges they have been sent could be a good idea.

And yes, I always read a profile, consider if I am someone that the profile is looking for, and not just gender, age, location and sexuality but applying what they have mentioned their preferences are before sending a message.

Now if we could see that fab member ‘A’ only replies to 2% of messages received I think this would help deter the ‘triers’ the ones who cut and past or send one word messages from bothering in the first place. And from the way i understand it that has to be a good thing. I always have the same reason given whenever I say I think it’s rude to not reply, and that’s ‘do you realise how many messages I get, no time to answer them all’. So if this cuts the amount of messages down surely that’s a good thing.

Yes yes I do know it’s in the rules about no reply!!!!

Just think something simple like this would cut down the unwanted messages.

Not sure how you think that would work OP? In fact it would probably have the opposite effect, those ladies that do reply to messages, would get inundated and therefore reply less or would reply less anyway.

Men would still moan that women never reply to messages and would quote statistical "evidence" such as that to justify why a woman was "up her own arse" etc etc

You'd still get those that wouldn't pay any attention to the stat too.

And why should any user have to have a stat against how *they* choose to use the site?

Simple fact of the matter is if men stopped worrying about not getting replies and accepted that is how the site works then everyone would be happy.

Any kind of "scheme" such as yours would exacerbate the problem not help it.

Look at this another way. How about putting the percentage of messages sent to new accounts on profiles. This would allow people (mostly women I admit) to see who uses a scatter gun "welcome to the site" approach and who is less indiscriminate, that would aid them in their choice of who to respond to

very well put you are right in what you said we get many messages a day most are not worth replying to for various reasons as we don’t have time to answer we simply ignore them it saves getting into ping pong arguments so no we don’t feel we have to justify why we don’t answer all messages

Or

Just simply forget you sent a message to someone then if a reply comes back it’s a bonus.

Use this site for your benefit...don’t let the site work against you.

Even if you thought you were that perfect person for someone, there could be thousands of factors why you don’t get a reply.

So just move on and get on with life

Unfortunately it is what it is and I dont think any sort of alteration to the app will make the foggiest bit of difference.

Keep trying, keep putting in the hours and maybe just maybe you might get that reply you are seeking.

Just dont take it personally.. i used to and it seriously began to affect me. Have a fuck it attitude, play the game, dont take it too seriously and one day you might get to your bonus stage

If a woman receives 100 messages and respond to 50 she has responded to 50% of messages. If another woman receives 1000 messages and responses to 50 it’s 5%. Both respond to the same amount of messages. Which means the poor sod receiving 100 would be inundated. Just saying...

It’s difficult for guys on here, no doubt. However, the ‘no reply, no thanks’ is the better option.

I also tend to try respond to as many as I can as yes, it’s manners. However, due to the amount of messages, lots tend to go unread unintentionally unless I plan to sit all day attempting to go through them. Impossible!

A very good point

In fact *if* a percentage related statistic were to be given a much better and useful way of doing it would be nicecouple's suggestion of number of messages sent by an individual against how many of those messages received replies.

Not that I personally am in favour of *any* kind of statistics being presented at all - if you "get" the site the current set up works perfectly well.

A better idea would be to have the option of a CAPTCHA code on your profile, with perameters set by the profile owner, including length/ amount of time/ characters/ questions answered to complete and enable a message to be sent.

I like to get a chat with male and female fabbers off the back of threads so I dont have filters up anymore. When I get messages now from guys asking to 'suck me dry" just delete them

I think any system / information that helps the way messges are sent / not replied too would help the situation. Certainly needs improving IMO

Why does the current set up need improving though? It's clear and simple - you send a message you either get a reply or you don't.

Any kind of "system" wouldn't change anything or suddenly mean you got all the meets you want.

As I said earlier the only "improvement" that is needed is an acceptance by those that find it frustrating that no reply means no interest, and only sending messages to those they genuinely think they are matched to

Dear op

As per our profile we reply to every message so that’s us on your 100% new rating scheme but to be honest I wish we didn’t because so many just do not deserve a reply due to the lack of effort they put in.

If it isn’t broke then don’t fix it.

No reply means no thank you!!!!

Best of luck op.

Agree the men that get complained about obviously have to have a look at who and why they message someone, and thank you for being so polite as to reply to messages to you, well at least the ones that warrant a reply at least

I don't understand how this will help in anyway.

Some women reply to every message and meet none of them.

Some woman reply to 1 in a 100 and meet or can with half of them.

(This is just a crude example to get my point across)

So i don't see how the stats on how many messages reply to helps in anyway.

But we have that with the new inbox system.

You can see who you have messaged before and we have the private note option.

We wouldn’t reply if the person wasn’t our type. They may think they fit all the boxes but very few do. However if they asked a question regarding something else other than if we were interested then we may reply.

If we get this we will reply , even if they are no match and obviously haven’t read our profile. We send messages regularly without reading profiles and nearly always get replies even offers from people who don’t match. What’s important is the content of a message

Maybe increase replies by reading Profiles properly before sending messages...

Really do you reply to spam ?

We want our time to write good replies to the ones that matter , and polite no thank you to the ones who deserve a reply. The ones who send a cock and say “how you doing” or similar nonesemse or anything vulgar will never in a million years get a reply

If in *my opinion* (not that of the sender) the message was worthy of a reply then I would reply - but you know full well the majority of the messages that don't get replies are not of that quality.

Either way there is no "system" that will stop the undesirable kind of messages being sent - but I don't see them as an inhibitor to my own interactions on here.

Ultimately as a single guy on here you have everything within your own hands to maximise your experience of the site - no systems are needed, it's up to each of us as individuals to find ways to make it work for us, not expect the site to do it.

I have no idea what the majority of messages contain and wouldn’t assume as to what they contain, If there’s one thing I have learned from this place is to expect the unexpected.

Any system that fails to improve, to move forward will soon become obsolete and be replaced by an improved service. Since my limited time on fab I have seen many changes and improvements, the addition of videos being one that springs to mind, something that has proved particularly popular judging by the number of videos posted, that wouldn’t have happened if as you suggest no requirements for changes. I find it an odd suggestion.

Do you think someone that doesn’t reply to your message is a self important fucktard ? And if so doesn’t that go against what your first profile paragraph says about being polite and well mannered.

Also what do you do if a gay guy messages you with a well thought out message. ? Even though your profile says no messages from them? If you got 100 messages from guys but only 1 from a woman that you replied to then your percentage would be 1%

I think that it wouldent be very representative of the bigger picture... Somone may get 500 messages a day and open and reply to 250 of them and show 50% chance of replying and at the same time somone could get two messages ignore one and show 50% reply but you'd be more likely to get a reply from the first person than the second

As I said it's quite simple - you send a message, you either get a reply or you don't - nothing more is needed.

Since my limited time on fab I have seen many changes and improvements, the addition of videos being one that springs to mind, something that has proved particularly popular judging by the number of videos posted, that wouldn’t have happened if as you suggest no requirements for changes. I find it an odd suggestion.

We're not talking here about general system/site improvements though - but your suggestion for some kind of statistical point of reference as an indicator of whether someone is going to reply or not and it's a "system" such as that which is unnecessary and hardly an "odd suggestion" to suggest it isn't.

As I said it's quite simple - you send a message, you either get a reply or you don't - nothing more is needed.

It was a suggestion for something that the site could improve on, quite simple."

It was and nothing wrong with that - but as has been shown would be counter-productive and probably have the reverse effect to what you were hoping for - a far better one would be nicecouple's one from further up.

Either way I stand by what I said about not thinking it necessary, and just accepting that no reply = no interest works perfectly well.
