"Getting a answer back from someone who isn't interested in you is alot better than being ignored "

I hold my hands up to this. And I will tell you the reason why, on my profile I am quite clear about the males that I would like to meet and if anyone has messaged me because they either have read it or just decided to ignore what I like, I'll very often delete the message and the same goes with anyone that is miles away from me, the likelihood of me meeting anyone from Scotland is going to be very very slim, so I won't reply.

Sounds harsh but I would be here for ages replying to every single one

As the site faq says no reply is a no thanks

It just opens up for a you’re missing out, please fuck me etc…

Also if they reply but change their filters in the future to block single men you will bypass it as they’ve replied

Fab FAQ are very clear on this

Here's a quote from them

There 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?

"Getting a answer back from someone who isn't interested in you is alot better than being ignored "

Nope, no reply means not interested, some people get tons of messages and from them who haven't read their profile, if I replied to every single man I'd probably receive a bit of abuse or questions as to why their not my type despite my profile clearly stating I'm not looking for single guys.

However saying that the ones who have read and just compliment the profile I will reply to.

Are you really that bothered that one person ignored you out of all that mail

Or if its all of them ignoring maybe its the content of the mail thats the problem

Try not to worry about it they will answer or they wont time will still tick on regardless

Ask yourself when your mobile rings saying suspected spam call or such do you always answer it or do you ignore some of them?

Ps if you say you answer all of them il choose not to believe you

One thing that isn’t talked about enough is that replying to someone negates and future filters that you put in place.

I generally don’t like to filter out single males, I like interesting messages from everyone but sometimes it’s just necessary for my own well being.

If I reply “no thanks” to people and I apply filters in the future, the filter no longer applies to them. Just a consideration people should ge aware of when the don’t get messages back

We used to reply if we weren't interested, but it means that the guy who's messaging can continue to message even if we put the no men filter on. We've blocked a few who kept messaging despite the filter, which I think probably feels harsher to them.

If honest even as a site supporter we still have a limited amount of messages we can send so I would chose not to waste them sending no thanks responses.

Also there have been times when i have replied politely to decline and not been met with positive or polite responses.

Some people dont accept a polite no thank you and will continue to persue persistently because any response is better than none to them

Most female profiles on here are inundated daily and replying to everyone could easily become a full time job lol.

Try not to take no replies personally.

My bio is quite clear yet a high percentage of messages I receive are clearly sent from profiles that haven't bothered to read it properly chancing their luck completely missing the brief!

"Getting a answer back from someone who isn't interested in you is alot better than being ignored "

I don't reply if I'm not interested because it stops any filters working in the future.

For example, if I have replied to every single male that messages, then I choose to block single males, all those I have replied to do not get filtered out and can still message me.

This and the fact that site rules say a no reply is a no thanks it's simple really.

just accept the no answer thing as the reality, they just don't have time for conversations with people they're not interested in just put your effort into someone else, imagine just say as an example you had say 10 people chatting to you so 10 conversations they send you a message you reply and so on and so forth you wouldn't have the time or inclination to do it and live your life, so they pick a few and chat to them or don't chat to any new people at all

No reply is a reply in itself.

I am well aware of the quantity of messages that the women on here recieve. Especially those that are hot pic page 1 regulars. There just isnt enough time in the day to even cut and paste and reply to every message. Messages get lost deleted without reading. It may feel harsh to be the message sender but it is what it is.

Even if ot were possible, you then get the follow up message, why? And that then has to be repied too, and so on and so on.

Seen this thread so many times in different guises. The suggestion I would appreciate is an automated thanks for your message but unfortunately I'm not interested at the moment.

This could be a button just the same as the block button so no extra effort would be required .

I know all the arguments against it but surely it would be an acceptable solution?

And the block button is still there should it be needed.

This was an option on another site I saw a few years ago,pre fab

No need for a button. That's what the FAQs are for and anyone not getting a reply should refer to them, slience means no.

And as said above, so many times you say no thank you, on the very odd occasion you say it and you get bombarded.

But would need an anti reply to it. So the reciever cant message back saying why?. Even if it was a 24hr or 48hr block type thing.

Well I think anyone who gets deleted / with tick box would automatically be barred from sending am message to the person again for at least 6months .. not that hard for developers to implement tbh . but fab is built around a very old archaic structure for a social contact site .

Sorry, rather late to the party here, but having seen the volume of messages that couples and single females get, it's impossible sometimes to appreciate it, but they really would need an admin team to answer them all. A 'no thanks ' reply simply opens the door for the 'why not me' and so on - life is too short and sometimes best to move on buddy

yeah tbh you just have to give zero fucks to the people you are not interested in .. why would I remotely care if it upsets someone I dont reply to let them know I am not interested .. thats their problem not mine ...

I try not to send more than 2 replies without a reply back. Sometimes I read the reply wrong and reply again of that makes sense. I won't reply unless I've been replied too. If I send 1st message and don't get a response after being read then it's a no, simple. Not going to lose sleep over it.

If someone sends more than 2 replies and it starts getting bullyish then block then, simple.

If you're send a few photos then obviously more than 2 as you can only send 1 at a time.

This a game that takes lots of practise to learn. I was pissed off when I first joined and wasn't getting replies or meets but now I don't give a shit.

Had a 1st message from a local couple today I replied with a face pic, they replied saying I was good looking and where was I, I replied where I was and then nothing. Ah well.

The way I see it and I'm not trying to big myself up, but I'm a unique person with a unique story to tell. I don't consider myself a bad looking guy, I'm friendly, like a laugh, I'm not flirty or dirty unless you want me to be. I treat people with respect unless they need telling otherwise. I keep clean and wash my clothes regularly. You'd never know I slept in a tent if you met me, unless I had my backpack. I don't drink, smoke sometimes only when it's legal of course If you're brave enough you could come to my place and you could decide where we pitch the tent lol. I've had relationships with beautiful beautiful women on my travels and before my travels. In Norway I was there 2 MONTHS and had 2 relationships and a one night stand. 1 was the niece of an ex playboy bunny She was 23 and I was 41. Here in Spain I had a relationship with a gorgeous 33yo NZ woman who's father is in LA and a little famous. He's been on tv etc. You know how we met? Outside a pizzeria I was helping out in exchange for a pizza. She was sat alone so I approached her and said... 'There's no way you've been stood up you're too beautiful she smiled and I said 'I'm Aaron the local homeless man I sleep in my tent on the beach ' We talked outside the pizzeria until 06.00 and she invited me back for a shower and sleep and we talked more and she just said 'I think you should hug me now' Ill always remember that! Not long relationships as they dont want to travel and nothing will stop me from traveling. Not even love. So I can attract really beautiful women.

I'm in better shape than my profile picture as that was about 2 years ago. I just don't like taking photos of myself.

The point is... I get turned down by people who are a fraction of the beauty I've had in my life. That used to frustrate me when I started using this site but now I just think 'you're loss'! You will probably never have the chance to meet someone like me.

I did meet a beautiful woman on here in 2019 just before I left the UK, like the day before I think? We've talked every single day since and I've sent Good Morning Beautiful every morning. Sometimes in English or the language of whatever country I'm in at the time.

"They do it on purpose to tease just take the no and move on. Don't give them what they want

many of the guys are just beggy fucks though that want to try to convince someone they are wrong by not wanting to meet them if they so no ... its an old game tactic men have used for so long .. to try guilt trip/shame/argue / bully the person down to agreeing ..

I try not to send more than 2 replies without a reply back. Sometimes I read the reply wrong and reply again of that makes sense. I won't reply unless I've been replied too. If I send 1st message and don't get a response after being read then it's a no, simple. Not going to lose sleep over it.

If someone sends more than 2 replies and it starts getting bullyish then block then, simple.

If you're send a few photos then obviously more than 2 as you can only send 1 at a time.

This a game that takes lots of practise to learn. I was pissed off when I first joined and wasn't getting replies or meets but now I don't give a shit.

Had a 1st message from a local couple today I replied with a face pic, they replied saying I was good looking and where was I, I replied where I was and then nothing. Ah well.

The way I see it and I'm not trying to big myself up, but I'm a unique person with a unique story to tell. I don't consider myself a bad looking guy, I'm friendly, like a laugh, I'm not flirty or dirty unless you want me to be. I treat people with respect unless they need telling otherwise. I keep clean and wash my clothes regularly. You'd never know I slept in a tent if you met me, unless I had my backpack. I don't drink, smoke sometimes only when it's legal of course If you're brave enough you could come to my place and you could decide where we pitch the tent lol. I've had relationships with beautiful beautiful women on my travels and before my travels. In Norway I was there 2 MONTHS and had 2 relationships and a one night stand. 1 was the niece of an ex playboy bunny She was 23 and I was 41. Here in Spain I had a relationship with a gorgeous 33yo NZ woman who's father is in LA and a little famous. He's been on tv etc. You know how we met? Outside a pizzeria I was helping out in exchange for a pizza. She was sat alone so I approached her and said... 'There's no way you've been stood up you're too beautiful she smiled and I said 'I'm Aaron the local homeless man I sleep in my tent on the beach ' We talked outside the pizzeria until 06.00 and she invited me back for a shower and sleep and we talked more and she just said 'I think you should hug me now' Ill always remember that! Not long relationships as they dont want to travel and nothing will stop me from traveling. Not even love. So I can attract really beautiful women.

I'm in better shape than my profile picture as that was about 2 years ago. I just don't like taking photos of myself.

I'm stoned now lol

"Getting a answer back from someone who isn't interested in you is alot better than being ignored "

Of course it is, but when you've got hundreds of messages in your inbox (like we do right now) it simply isn't possible. It's easy to look at it as people being rude when you only have a handful in your own inbox but women, TS's and couples can get inundated with them. We aren't here for admin, so we scroll for messages with substance and if they have a face pic attached they'll get a reply.

"How u doin" "ur fit" and "lucky guy" get ignored for being boring or rude. Use imagination, make an effort and make sure your own profile is at least photo verified.

Being ignored does a great job to me x

A lady gets hundreds messages a day .

She opens mine is lucky enough already .

Don’t need to reply with a rejection . Is fine . More then fine .

Can u imagine reply a “ no thanks “ to number between 50 to 500 ?

A day ?

I rather a first hello to be ignored and blocked then reply to me with rude and cruel ignorant crap .

I had really sweet lovely rejections as well .

Loads of nice lovely ladies here .

Even they don’t meet and reject they Stil give strength and believe that kindness and sweetness Stil exists .

And very grateful all ladies here making all this possible .

Respect .

"Fab FAQ are very clear on this

Here's a quote from them

There 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?

OK, my pennysworth here, completely agree if a male has not bothered to read a profile and sent a cut and paste "fancy a shag in my Fiat 500/snowplough/white van"

It's when you meet all criteria, are polite and extremely low in expectation, include a face pic - and the message is unread?

Do women on Fab have a different inbox view?

No, we have the same inbox.

You also need to factor in the possibility that she's dealt with at least one prick before she comes to your message. So she thinks "fuck it...can't be bothered".

Also, even if you had an inbox of a hundred odd messages and every one was from a decent guy, that's still a hell of a lot of time going through messages. Turns Fab into a full time job.

If you’ve clearly stated in your profile that you aren’t looking for single men but guys message anyway, don’t expect a reply. Some days we have so many messages that it would be impossible to respond to all of them without being there all day. We’re a couples profile so I’ve no clue what the women’s inboxes look like but I imagine they’re exactly the same just way more full!

Oh,Miss Muff, so true, and therein lies the problem. You have received a series of messages from men who haven't quite worked out how to use Andrex, you've got the huff, and bulk delete.

Including a Fab intro that Wordsworth would say, "fuck those daffodils, where is Glasgow?)

Now I could send Skippy to ask what you feel (what, mate, she's farting sparks 'cos of those drongoes) or potentially send another message when the mood is lighter.

So either way we infringe sensibilities or miss at least a chance of an initial conversation.

There is no right or wrong answer, just the lottery of who is on Fab, what mood they are in, and if they want to meet a man who just won £175 million on the lottery.

"Getting a answer back from someone who isn't interested in you is alot better than being ignored "

I think we all would but from what I have been told with the amount of messages the ladies get.

To read and answer every one they would have to be on here hours every day. You can work out the math easy enough, assuming 100 messages/day most ladies apparently get more than that but even at 100 assuming only 3 mins to read and reply to every one is 5 hours solid without a break. I'm damn sure I couldn't/wouldn't do that do how can I expect anyone else to? If a lady answers fantastic, if she doesnt not a problem just accept it and move on.

Or.......

You send 10 intro messages a day, 7 days a week for a 30 day month.

At the end of the month you've received 2,100 "no thank you, you're not for me" messages.

Questions;

Do you feel better about getting a reply now?

Do you send 2,100 "thanks for the no thanks" messages?

"Why don’t people just reply? It’s only good manners

You wanna reply to the 1500 currently sat in my inbox? Who’s got time for that and good manners would be reading a profile and not messaging unless you fit what they’re looking for! "

Why not delete them?

If I get a polite refusal.

I write back thanking them for letting me know and then block them.

I tend to as I go along! Most of those are from the last 24 hours! Btw I’m not complaining just explaining that I won’t be responding to those I’m not interested in.

A lot of men (not forumites, obviously) don't realise that ladies and couples get a deluge of mail everyday unlike the trickle into a single male's inbox.

(And most sent to me haven't read my profile, just seen 'bi' and assumed I'd meet anybody.)

I usually reply, but even with only one a day, I can't be bothered with people who have sent a message shorter than their user name.I

On the other hand, if someone does send me a 'not interested ' reply, I will reply politely, not throwing a tantrum or asking for explanations. Not burning bridges, but accepting their decision.

Because people on a social network know each other. Get a reputation as a rude entitled person and your chances of getting a meet will drop even further.

Behave like an adult and be a positive person, and it may pay dividends later.

People who throw a strop about no reply, or respond badly when told no are selfish and self-esteem and probably the same in bed.

It’s a bit like applying for a job, no?

You send your cv in and hear….crickets.

Would you send a twatty message if you didn’t get a reply? No, you’d accept they had too many to reply no to, and leave it at that. Why is it any different on here?

What amazes me though, is that we can keep saying we get too many messages, it’s unreasonable to expect us to reply to people we’re not interested in, and there are still men saying, ‘yeah I get that, but I still want a reply, because I’m special’.

On here I don’t mind getting blanked at all. A lack of reply is a reply in itself. So I see it as it is.

"Getting a answer back from someone who isn't interested in you is alot better than being ignored

I often reply to a message.

I say ..

You are too far away...

They say..

I will come to you...

I say...

I don't host...

They say ..

I will get a hotel...

I say I don't do hotels .

I block them...

Another example

I reply ..

No ...

They reply..

You are cheerful aren't you .

I reply....

Get lost...

I block....

Another example

I reply...

I don't host ...

They reply car sex?

I reply

I don't do car sex.

They reply

Hotel?

I reply no then block

Another example

I reply

You are too far away

They reply sneering...

It's only 30 minutes away lol!

I reply

3O minutes walk to train station and hour on train each way.. I block

Do you get the drift ..

Very often people can't take no for an answer and have to try to question what someone says.

"

Love this but at the same time what a lot of pain an suffering people have to go through unnecessarily

"Why don’t people just reply? It’s only good manners"

Here’s an example;

“Sorry not for me happy fabbing”

- why not / but I’m / you met … / or potential abuse

A no reply, is a reply. It’s nothing to do with manners.

See these threads come up several times. Same examples given by women and couples why they don’t answer all of their messages. Often these examples make complete sense and are reasonable.

However what you very rarely see, is the Op giving a counter argument to those reasonable examples or him (it’s generally guys starting these threads) admitting they didn’t know the full facts and a level of understanding. Same with the other guys who suddenly appear agreeing with the Op, but not adding to the discussion.

So these threads are a continuous circle forever to be repeated and no lessons learned or understood. Admittedly, it still amuses me the hypocrisy of wanting your messages to be replied but not contributing to all of the messages on this thread.

The bottom line is people behave differently online than in person. I’m sure in quite a few instances it will be a case of the message sender clearly hadn’t read the profile, we get this all the time. And sometimes it will be a case of the receiver getting swamped with messages and simply don’t have time to reply to everyone.

But it will also sometimes be a case of “can’t be bothered”. Nothing you can do about any of the above, just chalk it up as experience

"Getting a answer back from someone who isn't interested in you is alot better than being ignored

I hold my hands up to this. And I will tell you the reason why, on my profile I am quite clear about the males that I would like to meet and if anyone has messaged me because they either have read it or just decided to ignore what I like, I'll very often delete the message and the same goes with anyone that is miles away from me, the likelihood of me meeting anyone from Scotland is going to be very very slim, so I won't reply.

Sounds harsh but I would be here for ages replying to every single one "

I actually get this. Listen the men on here outnumber the women greatly. Chances are slim to zero at best. And these girls have got lots more to do than say no no thank you 1000 times a day

Just because you message someone doesn't mean you are owed anything in return. This includes any of their time or mental space.

It gets exhausting, especially when the majority of them are some combo of hi/hi x/wuu2/u ok. I’m sure the OP will be on to reply to everyone I barely about their comments, which might give him an idea of exactly how it feels. We got bored of receiving 100s of messages, use tight filters, hide pics and only after that last step did the messages go down. I’ve no doubt when we want to meet again it’ll be 200 messages an hour again ??

I try to reply to pms out of politeness, even if its only to say no thank you, it was how I was raised to be

Having said that, when there are over 100 messages to get through it gets time consuming especially when it's obvious the message sender has not read the profile first, or has, and just doesn't give a rats about our preferences, so no reply coming there

Rudeness in pms will be blocked and deleted

Winning the lottery is great too. And receiving a blowjob from 3 different women. And winning a year's worth of diesel.

Yet, in the real world, we have to learn to stop whinging just because we don't get what we want.
