Hi, why almost half of the messages I’ve sent not even read?

They might have read it then marked as unread.

They don't look at their inbox, just here for the forum.

They went to check your profile first - They didn't like it and decided not to open the message

They are busy.

What’s the etiquette on unread messages? Message again at another date assuming your message got lost in the sea of FAF messages?

Or just assume uninterested?

You’ll go mad trying to work out the motivations of other people.

The simplest and most direct answer is to delete your sent messages. Then you won’t be tormented by what’s been read or not.

The only thing that you need to worry about is if/when they reply. Everything else is just pointless noise

I think that's my weakness. I reply to any messages I get.. doesn't matter who sends them.. I will try to reply when I can. Unless the message is inappropriate then I will just simply delete even though it goes against my OCD lol

It might be a good thing, quick responses might get a faster turn around for me. I wait until I have time to put effort in to answer people I actually want to talk too, these one's are left unread.

You may not have messaged any couples, but if you have, it might be because one person has read the message then marked it as unread for the other half to pick up at some later time.

But if, say, you received a dozen messages a day all saying "how's you or something similar" would you still reply? Even 15 messages a day (which is not remotely what some women receive) means over 100 messages a week.

That depends really. Normally I don't open messages unless I have intention to actually look closer what's been said or to reply, depending if I'm just quickly logging in to have a quick glance but normally if I can reply to a few at the time, I would

I want to spend my time chatting to friends or someone I might meet or enjoy the forum. I don't want to spend my time replying to unsolicited messages from guys who make no effort and haven't read my profile. I can tell they haven't read my profile because they don't meet my criteria. That's 9/10 messages of the messages I receive. And I don't receive more than about 30 a day.

I think that's where the difference between men and women profiles on here.. I don't get that many messages on here anyway apart from those I talk regularly anyway so the new ones don't often reach that many anyway but I've gathered from speaking to a few people and from these forums that's not the case for women on here. When it reaches beyond more than 10 a day, I can see how being selective will be the best way forward otherwise it would be a nightmare

"I think women should make an effort just to delete the message even if she doesn’t read it "

It would definitely make it clearer

I personally just block whoever deletes my message as that’s a clear “not interested”, so there’s no point having them on my search results

But unopened? Did you read it and mark as unread? Did you just miss it in a sea of other messages? Could we be be the perfect match you just didn’t see, or should I assume unread = uninterested and block? It’s tough

This is from the Fab FAQs

"here are too many rude people on here who don't reply to my messages!

It's not rude not to reply.

Some ladies and couples get hundreds of messages a day so it simply isn't possible for them to reply to everyone. If you don't get a response, you should assume they aren't interested. If you're getting a lot of "no-replies" then you should consider your profile and the messages you send. Are they giving the right message? Are you standing out from the thousands of other guys on here?"

Everyone is here for their own reasons as for your comment further up about them being solicited messages because the women are on here in the first place just wow! Every thought you aren't what they are looking for? Do you read profiles?

I don't open a lot of my messages for the simple fact, I can't be bothered. If people message me and get butt hurt about being ignored it's kinda tough.

Word of advice. I used to do this. I sent messages to some profiles and checked regularly to see if they read them are not. But after a point, I realised that it doesn't make sense. All that matters is whether they reply or not.

The only time I open my Sent Messages folder these days is for an occasional clean-up.

I don't think a smiley emoticon after that acerbic remark is going is absolve you.

But it’s saaaarcasm innit? That removes any original meaning obv take from it what you will like i said it was sarcasm you chose to be offended. And you can always just block me if you think I thinknwomen are cunts. But you can't block me from the forum "

I've no idea what the usual suspects means. But you assume people will have known you were being sarky. No-one attacked you but you got some push back. As I say, it's up to you if you want to keep on digging in but it's not making you look good.

To be fair a lot of our messages can go unread for ages (freinds and strangers alike). We generally like to do the messages together but our free time together is limited so we don't always have the time or inclination to sort the inbox.

Have you even read the comments on the thread from women? I don't think so, you've rushed in to have a go at us. Men like you think you're the only man sending messages.

"I think that's my weakness. I reply to any messages I get.. doesn't matter who sends them.. I will try to reply when I can. Unless the message is inappropriate then I will just simply delete even though it goes against my OCD lol

But if, say, you received a dozen messages a day all saying "how's you or something similar" would you still reply? Even 15 messages a day (which is not remotely what some women receive) means over 100 messages a week.

That depends really. Normally I don't open messages unless I have intention to actually look closer what's been said or to reply, depending if I'm just quickly logging in to have a quick glance but normally if I can reply to a few at the time, I would

I want to spend my time chatting to friends or someone I might meet or enjoy the forum. I don't want to spend my time replying to unsolicited messages from guys who make no effort and haven't read my profile. I can tell they haven't read my profile because they don't meet my criteria. That's 9/10 messages of the messages I receive. And I don't receive more than about 30 a day. "

This. I'm never inundated, I will usually read and delete. Unless I can see it's graphic/sweary. Then it's a straight delete.

"Hi, why almost half of the messages I’ve sent not even read? "

There are a multitude of reasons.

- They've looked at your profile and decided it's a no straight away.

- They are a couple and are waiting until both are able to read the message.

- They have read the first line in their inbox and have made their mind up already.

- They just haven't got around to doing the admin yet, sometimes it can take hours!

- Their inbox is full and so the older messages are pushed off the screen by newer ones, and won't be seen until the inbox becomes a lot less full.

- They have already made a judgement that you do not meet their profile and therefore they aren't interested.

- They have asked for pics to be attached and can see you haven't.

- They have asked on their profile for a codeword to be used as the subject line and you haven't.

- Etc, etc, etc....

You will drive yourself mad trying to work out the motivations of others, so once you send your message delete it from your sent items and only concern yourself with the people that contact/reply to you.

i wasnt even rude I said the statement to which you said really then I said it was sarcasm then you said sure then I said sure. What you could have said was no all men are cunts we could have had a laugh about but we obviously don't have the same sense of humour. Look at my posts on here and see where I'm rude to people? No doubt there's hundred of posts on here where woman states all men are cunts jokingly and no one bats an eyelid

If you don’t like it’s simple delete and block then no abuse back from the type of clown that would abuse.

Myself that’s the way to do it and it stops any reply.

My block list is large as it also stops me forgetting and seeing them again and sending a message saying hello.

Most people just aren't compatible with most other people, so the majority of messages will come from those who aren't matched with the recipients.

Many loom at the profile of the sender, when they get a message, so if it's really good and helps them to feel you could be a match, they'll read the message. Some mark some messages as unread, to give them attention later on.

Doing message admin is a long, laborious job, so it's worth having realistic expectations and not thinking all will be quickly read and replied to.

Cast your net widely, once you have sent to someone, move on to the next. If your profile gives others a clear view of you, your physical attributes and what you offer, then a profile will sell the person, with the message giving the nudge for others to check you out.

Someone asks a genuine question and it turns ugly very quickly. It must put a lot of people off asking a question in the forums

It was answered politely by a number of people explaining why women don't largely reply to messages. That wasn't enough for the OP or others. I've just received a message from a man calling me ignorant and castigating me for the way I manage my own inbox. Yes, I'd agree it's got ugly.

My point was how something so simple turns so sour so quickly, that it must put a lot of people off asking a question.

I'd see it as someone called all women cunts (even if it was meant as a joke) and it set a tone.

The biggest challenge is listening to answers. The thread answered the question, no? It's just some said, I've heard your answer, and you are wrong to take the approach you take.

That response (which some may call ugly) then kicks off a whole new tone.

(I do note you aren't putting the blame at anyone's door, just making an observation. I'm seeking to draw out the reasons)

The reason for my comment is it must put people off asking a genuine question on the forums because of the way posts like these fall apart so quickly when it really doesn't need to.

This type of question gets asked so regularly that it surprises me it even gets a reply, but a lot of the time the thread descends into a mess and that confuses me even more.

My summary is :.

Everyone can handle their inbox in whatever way works for them. There's no right or wrong, rude or polite.

Don't write a long message and think you deserve a reply. That's shitty nice guy behaviour. Do it because your smart enough to realise 99pc if message are shit one liners and a longer message may help stand out.

Asking questions is good. Learning from the answers is better. Telling someone they are wrong about their choices will get you blocked.

And finally

All women are cu.... te.

I think women feel attacked by this constant criticism of the way we handle messages. It's quite a sore point. I think the same happens when men feel attacked because all single men are lumped together as one and criticised. They're flash points. I won't deny it pushes my buttons sometimes. As a recent newbie to the Forum myself, I just watched and learned for a while before I started a thread. Didn't put me off.

"Hi, why almost half of the messages I’ve sent not even read?

Message hunters that’s all they are. Don’t like delete why save the which is the same as unread.

I don’t understand this?

No intention of meeting getting a buzz from the amount that message them.

Women can still have the intention of meeting and not reply to people

I often read and unread as if I leave on unread I get abuse!

Reply no, get why not? Too good for me are you?

Don’t reply - abuse or 15 of the same message follow

We can’t win

If you don’t like it’s simple delete and block then no abuse back from the type of clown that would abuse.

Myself that’s the way to do it and it stops any reply.

My block list is large as it also stops me forgetting and seeing them again and sending a message saying hello. "

….and I’m supposed to be able to differentiate between who’s a clown and who’s not?

Say I put a new picture up I get a lot of messages. Why should I spend my time going through them to delete block, delete block, delete block.

I spend my time on here how I choose, not how others want me to.

Best option as others have suggested is to just delete your sent messages, that way you’re not checking to see if it’s been read.

Yes! We spend our time how we choose, NOT being a ‘good girl’ and doing what the men think we should do!

"I think women should make an effort just to delete the message even if she doesn’t read it

It would definitely make it clearer

I personally just block whoever deletes my message as that’s a clear “not interested”, so there’s no point having them on my search results

But unopened? Did you read it and mark it as unread? Did you just miss it in a sea of other messages? Could we be the perfect match you just didn’t see, or should I assume unread = uninterested and block? It’s tough

Exactly

Confused. Com"

Ok, why not try YOU delete a message after sending then problem solved you're sending the message so the way we see they owe you nothing.

It’s all quite simple really. You choose to message who you want but the recipient didn’t request your message.

Therefore, no response is a response. If they wanted to, they would

This a million times this!

Bulk delete all of your sent messages, and don't obsess over them being opened, unopened, deleted or otherwise if it bothers you that much.

Does it really matter if they read it or not. It probably means they are not interested or have moved on.
