FabSwingers.com forum: Confidence or no confidence

At what point does "not my type" knock your confidence?

I know we're all a fairly thick skinned bunch on fab, so the answer is probably going vary wildly

It only knocks my confidence if it's a no after sending a face pic, I think it's because I think all is good up to that point so whenever asked for a face pic my confidence takes a dive even before the "not for us" message.

Never does. Just as I don't find all people attractive, I would be arrogant to assume that everyone found me attractive

I mean it depends how many people you're asking if you're their type?

Are they even your type??

Guys, correct me if I am wrong, and I am saying this from the female perspective, of course.

If I like a guy and get to the point of arranging a meet, then get a face picture it may not necessarily that the face is unattractive.

I may just mean he reminds me of somebody or evokes a particular non sexual response.

Could you try and perhaps see it less as a full-on rejection and statement you are not attractive but more of a "you are not what I am looking for at this moment in time"?

If I were to receive constant and consistent not my type messages I think it would eventually knock my confidence.

I understand where you are coming from, totally.

I am just thinking that I know a few guys who are facially unattractive but I still find them sexy, equally there are some with Adonis like facial features and they do not appeal.

I guess I am saying it is more than a face but sometimes the face (reflecting the personality and evoking transference from one's own experience) can be a turn off for different reasons, maybe?

It does if it happens a few times in the short space of each other. I don't even get the "not my type" replies but no replies at all after showing a face picture after exchanging a few messages. It hurts if it seems like we've got on as well but it's not something I dwell over too much like I used to.

That I understand completely - if you have been exchanging messages etc... it is a bit unkind to just close the conversation without a closure so to speak.

We are here for the right connections - we have a fantastic sex life and so we aren’t looking for just a quick hook up. We ideally want local people so we can meet regular and build up a connection.

We and I guess a lot of others are looking for a needle in a haystack…

So the likelihood is 9 times out of 10 people aren’t going to be our type.

This site is tough but what you’ve got to remember is a lot of people have certain criteria, so you could be knocked out for not fitting that, rather than it just be your face.

For me personally, "Sorry, not my type" doesn't particularly knock my confidence. Just being ignored is significantly worse.

That’s why I don’t really use those words.

When I am not attracted to someone, and it may not be due to a physical feature but more so due to the whole profile, I usually said that I think we are sexually incompatible.

You could of said it more gently to me though to be fair.

After a first message I do not mind at all and don’t read too much into it. But once we move onto the stage where we exchange elsewhere than on fab I do appreciate the symmetry of messages and if I feel like doing a monologue, I just move on. But it does hurt somehow.

I’d still love to try if my pencil dick fits into your pencil sharpener though

Both. I'd rather get a message saying "Fuck off you ugly cunt" than just get silence. At least it's honest and unambiguous.

I broadly agree. There's usually an indefinable something that can make one person more attractive than another even if they're identical twins

We humans are delicate creatures though and I think you'd need a hide like a rhino and rock solid self esteem to cope with constant rejection on the grounds that you're not someone's type. I can understand being one person in a hundreds type and be fine with that but I don't want the other 99 to tell me I'm not.

My non confidence comes from me not others I had a bad accident in work last year leaving me physically different to who I was and through that confidence dropped when trying to attract the opposite sex, what I've learned is that me not the other person I'm for some not everyone there's profiles I just won't message because there way out my league but who's to say I'm not what they actually like just need to grow a pair n go for it

The thing is, even after a face pic has been exchanged, you can still go off someone during the social or worst yet, during a meet.

It happens, it's nobodies fault. Human pair bonding is a tricky thing at the best of times, so just chalk it up to experience and move on.

I post pics of my body from every angle and my face photos on my profile. This tends to stop men messaging me if I'm not their type. Obviously I get messages from guys who find me particularly hideous and need to tell me so in enormous detail, and those guys are definitely not my type.

Meh.

I’ve long since accepted that with a face like mine it’s going to be a majority who think that way, so I’ll focus on the minority that can tolerate it and not worry about anything out of my control

It happens. Quite a lot. Don't see why they don't just bypass and go look at women they find attractive, but nope. Fat shaming, face shaming, arse shaming, tit shaming and every other part of my body has been objected to on many occasions and all I can do is block, but unfortunately you have to read the abuse in the first instance in order to block the perpetrator.

Yes, the person is blocked from my account by fab, I get a message saying "it appears this user is no longer on this site" which I used to be really happy about, but then I found out, when I looked at them from my couples profile, the person is still on the site with no restrictions other than being visible to me. They make it look like the user has been kicked off but they haven't, I've just been blocked from seeing that they have a profile still. Oh well.

A friend of mine does bodybuilding and guys fairly often message her on social media to tell her she looks like a bloke (she so does not they're just arseholes), she always asks them why they've taken time out of their day to tell her this. Funny, she never gets a reply (possibly cos she could probably tear their arms out if their sockets?)...
