Do you actually read and reply to all the ones you do get? Or do you, like me, just avoid the inbox unless you're expecting a message from someone or playing a forum game? (Or other reasons)

I usually send a polite message back to anyone local and in my age range who's taken the time to read my profile and sent me a nice message, not just said 'hi'

Anyone suggesting a meet in say...5 minutes LOL I delete.

Depending on my mood, a sarcastic comment or two does occasionally slip from my fingers into some f*ckwit's Inbox in response to their inane message

I do feel bad sometimes because surprisingly I get really nice messages, I can't actually remember the last time I got a horrible one (don't all rush to send me one!)

I know it isn't gonna go anyway, but if I sent a nice thank you reply, then they'd reply and I'd reply and they'd reply and where does it end!?!?!? Total madness that's where!

No I don't.

I'm going to start doing it but to be honest, and this might sound a tad cruel... when I don't have the headspace or energy to reply, I don't. So that might mean replying a week later or whatever. Sometimes I'm dickstracted and I'd rather channel my energy in that direction.

Sometimes I just think... why the fuck are they messaging me? I'm a little bit intense and crazy, far from the beautiful woman their penis is telling them I am. So I don't reply because I can't live up to that daft pedestal.

Anyway, I'll try and do fabmin this evening because I've been quite bad at it. And now feel guilty!

I don't get a lot of messages. I usually don't even get one new one a day I've filters tighter than a ducks ass.

But no I don't reply to them all.If they cheat through my filters they just get deleted or if the profile who sent it really doesn't appeal or if they have messaged me before and I've told them no. (I keep notes on most who I have said no to).

Mostly though I will reply even if it's to say thanks but no thanks. And as I'm not doing new meets that is usually what my reply is. Unless it's something off the forums I'm replying to.

In saying that I often don't even look at my messages every day.

I read them, but don’t reply unless it’s a thought out message or I like the face photo attached to it AND they are tall enough. *shallow* I have zero interest in meeting right now, so anyone saying they want to meet in their first message I just ignore.

I mostly keep logged on FAB to communicate with my FWBs. So I do have to scan the old inbox once in a while…

the abyss

Generally I only look in my inbox if it's a forum game or if I'm speaking to someone. Until the yellow starts to bother me.

I try to reply to people who have gone out of their way to message because I don't know why the hell they would! Especially if I can tell they have made the effort to read my profile.

When my head isn't really in it and so I do delete without even looking which does make me feel bad. I also delete the ones that I recognise as copy paste messages that have been sent several times over by the same profile.

Sorry

"On a separate note, how many do I need before I can do one of those "sorry guys, bulk delete" statuses? "
none.

Same number to boost a reply in the "ask in private, post on public" threads.

Fake social proof FTW.

I don't reply to all. Only those that I'm interested in.

Or depending on how I'm feeling I may send no thank you and block so they then can't try and tell me why I should

If you all didn't block me I would be sending 100's to each, copied and pasted because I'm thoughfull, with a cock pic as well because I know this turns you on.

I check their profile (in Ninja mode) before I open the message and then 99% of the time, will delete the message unread because of something on their profile that’s put me off.

If they don’t have any public pics on their profile but have attached pics to the message, then I might sneak a look (with one eye open ) but it’s usually a dick pic so then they get immediately blocked

Couples are filtered out so I wouldn't worry about it.

In terms of the question though I think you should say what you like in a message... I mean make it personal to the recipient and all that but if I have to tell someone what to put into a message I might as well just talk to myself.

I feel bad for you ladies that have lots of messages but how do we as lads stand out.

There is only so many ways to say hello to someone we have never met

I guess this is why i will forever stay yellow in all your inboxes lol

I have been on here for some time, I can't remember how many times I've tried to make contact with women who seem to be on the same page as me, but the sad truth is 99% of my messages have been ignored.a

couple have arranged to meet and not turned up, never to be heard of again.

I don't know how many messages people get but your getting a dam lot more than me.

but i live in hope, well I live in Cornwall but you know what I mean.

I am not a fan of the colour yellow but I am training myself to ignore the unread messages. It's good for me.

I said I couldn't be arsed to reply on my profile. And I can't unless it's a forum person really.

I think guys on here often forget that the women on the forum are not representative of most women on Fab. Or maybe we are. I'd say not from scanning local updates though.

I'd agree with Julie on this. It feels unlikely we are representative of most of the fab women.

It's quite an interesting thought. As a pure random guess maybe 1000 people use the forums (no science behind that!). But whenever I log on there are always over 30000 people online. So who are all the other people and what are they like..? Are they just getting on with meeting people?

Yesterday our filters were dropped for a good 6 hours while I took part in the "What I like about you" thread. In that time we only got 3 thirsty messages that were nothing to do with the thread. We rarely have filters dropped after 10pm though which is when the horny FAF, wuu2 brigade seem to come out.

If it's obvious they have read my profile abd attached a picture then I always reply even if a no ty. If they are decent messages but no pic I may ask them for one. I don't bother with the hi how are you type messages though. I'm thinking of adding a bit on my profile just to get that crap out of the way haha.

I try my best to answer all the messages that we get, some people will try and take advantage of that, even after me saying that we aren't interested they still keep on messaging, then they don't get a reply back and if they persist or get angry I block them.

Do you actually read and reply to all the ones you do get? Or do you, like me, just avoid the inbox unless you're expecting a message from someone or playing a forum game? (Or other reasons)"

Now I'm sure I alone send you 100 a day

Just to save me time and pain and disappointment I may aswell just say to all the ladies here that you all have great profiles and you all look bloody lovely xxx

Might as well have a bulk rejection hete with no replies than send 100 msgs and get no replies.

And I regard that as a positive thing. That’s not to say I have anything against anyone who doesn’t frequent the lounge, heck, for the longest time I didn’t. It’s more that I like being in the lounge because of the people here. These days I’d far rather message someone I know and like about a fun topic or for a flirt than try to make a connection with a ‘stranger’.

Posh, thank you for another, genuinely interesting thread.

It's nice to have a slightly better understanding of what happens at the opposite side of fab. And whilst I'm not offended when a message of mine doesn't get read, it's good to have a grasp of why that might be.
