Messages from guys

I know I can block them or ignore them but this morning I got a message from a guy. He was just saying hi...but why? I responded with "no thanks". His profule stated he was looking for men and that he was gay. I then got a message back saying that i was another arrogant prick on here and wasn't looking for a meet.

My profile in no way suggests I am interested in men. So, why would a guy man be messaging me just to say Hi?

I don't block men because sometimes men can have a mutual interest like a threesome. A mfm that I wouldn't want to miss out on...

Any gay men here randomly message straight guys just to say Hi? Just trying to understand why

It’s called shorting your shot

Lots of straight guys aren’t straight

I’d even say that I have 100x more chance to hook up by messaging a straight guy than a woman

I’d suggest it was nothing to do with his sexuality, imagine getting the same response from a female or couple whose profile didn’t float your boat.

Some just can’t cope with rejection.

Rude is rude, consider it an arrow swerved and rock on!

As a gay man myself - no I never message straight guys - no point. I do however get countless guys down as straight msging/fabbing/winking me. This won't be popular but the way I see it there is a percentage of clearly bi guys who put themselves as straight. there is an equal percentage of gay/bi lads who have this delusional fantasy of seducing a straight guy. leads to confusion as the gay/bi guys who meet these closet cases start assuming all ACTUAL straight guys are also secretly into men, when of course actual straight guys aren't. so start messaging any guys who are straight. Delete block and move on I say - lifes far too short to play silly mind games.

Ha ha.

Maybe I need to be clearer on my profile! I didn't think that there was anything wrong with. "No thanks". Could be a simple not interested in anything even a chat.

This what happens when you have guys who say they straight but like other men on the Down Low, you gonna have other guys who are openly gay (not all off them) thinking other straight men must be down low as well which isnt the case for the majority.

I didn't need to block. He blocked me.

Perhaps they are bi guys but don't want to be rejected by females / couples who say " no bi guys"

But their intentions are meet motivated. This guy claimed he wasn't looking for a meet. I can see why the ladies on here get annoyed with those who can't take a rejection!

We are both straight but chat with bi and gay men and women. Swinging isn't all about sex it's social too. The Swinging community involves a very varied bunch of people so why not embrace it.

I think it's just part of the situation on fab. I don't block guys for the same reason as you OP (open to mfm situation). No harm in a polite decline when I realise the message is looking for something I'm not interested which ends the message 9/10 times. But I also rarely have had a vitriolic reaction when saying no which I find a bit uncomfortable

Well, you can't go back in time obviously. What I'm saying is you chose to cut the guy right off at the start, but he could have wanted to talk about anything.

We get quite a lot of messages, most get round to talking about meeting eventually but not always and loads of other subjects get discussed too.

You would think so, but sadly not the case. Fabguys has went progressively downhill since covid. Site is now overrun by married panty wearing cheats who migrated over as most of the women on here won't have a bar of them. This "straight" question comes up often on the forums over there. On here we have bi pretending to be straight. On guys we have as I call them the "redefiners" as in they want straight redefined to include same sex activity. When that fails they go after the word fetish - in this case to include the sex organs (def of a fetish excludes the sex organs) so they can claim they have merely a "cock fetish". and when that similarly fails we are redirected to a link posted by them to MSM on wiki. I've resigned myself to the fact it doesn't matter what site - there will always be a few individuals who live in cloud coockoo land and are at best simply avoided.

And therein is one of the problems with fab.

Not everyone is looking to meet and compatibility isn't always obvious.

I have spoken to many people in the past that have had no interest in meeting including day guys. It's called conversation and sadly this site lacks that on the whole especially between men.

Can I ask OP if he had approached you in a social setting, would your response of been the same?

Of course not. He might have wanted to know the time or just looking for conversation to pass the time. I really don't see how you can compare a social situation to a sexually motivated site.

I said it was a sexually motivated site. Not exclusive.

Do I message gay women for a social chat? No. They probably aren't interested in seeking social chat with straight men. They would probably think I am just looking to shag a couple of lesbians...

Bisexuality isn't a real thing.

I don't care who it was but just saying Hi in a message is no better than winking. Why bother!

Honestly, appreciate quite a lot of messages get little response but still a polite sentence or two doesn't hurt. Perhaps say what you're into and show you've looked at the person your messagings profile.

Thanks and to _imisugar.

There has been some decent responses and perhaps I have been a bit narrow minded on the fact that some people are on here for social reasons just as much as anything else.

Some right muppets though if they are drawing such conclusions.

At around the time I posted my first message, a gentleman in his late 50s fabbed a pic of mine. Compliment. Thats all he did. If he wrote "I know you are straight but just wanted to say I like your pic. Have a nice day", I would reply saying thank you. I might even ask if he is also enjoying the site etc or a engage in a light hearted conversation.

One man sent a PM in response to a post I made on another thread. Exchanged a couple of messages a and that's it.

Yes we should - as a Gay man it pains me to see the amount of straight lads that gay men comtact - have a word with yourself lads - straight on here means straight not what laughably goes by fabstraight.

You're tarring all gay men. We can be friends with straight men just as we can be friends with straight women. It's the 21st century.

"

Not at all sweetheart - if you have bothered to read I have said repeatedly "NOT ALL GAY MEN" x

The site provides enough tools to deal with shocking events like this. Someone saying hi is realy not a big deal, is it? But also nobody should have to assert their preferences which should always be respected. As I said before, the best banter and nice conversations I had on here have been with straight guys and they were just that, nice convesations with no ulterior motives. If someone bothers you, block and move on. Some things on here are surprising to everyone from time to time, roll the eye and move on

Interesting thread

Who knows what the intention of the guy who messaged was as I’m not sure he’s replied in this thread. Yes it may have been to try and arrange a meet but equally it could have been to strike up a friendly conversation. As others have said, it’s a sex site but many, myself included, also like to chat to folks knowing it’s never going to result in a sexual meet but perhaps a beer.

How the OP responds is his choice but I’m sure I’m not the only one on here who has received a “no thanks” to an initial “hi” and when it happens I recall an episode a number of years ago when I went up to someone in a bar and said “hi” and they looked at me and simply said “no thanks” which took me aback as I wanted to ask them where they’d bought their trainers. Felt like a total slap in the face and just came across as arrogant.

Communication face to face can be complicated and online even more so especially here when as others have said you have bi guys saying straight on their profiles and a myriad of other permutations so it’s easy to misinterpret a message. It’s a minefield sometimes LOL

In same situation as OP I would have replied “thanks for the message but I’m not looking to meet guys other than for MFM”

Of course the guy who messaged could still have sent a vitriolic message but at least the initial response would have made it clear why you were replying no.

Maybe he wasnt a he and was princess of Wales keeping her identity secret...damn, blown that one!

Or maybe, it was just a gay male taking a shot at a straight guy just in case he was actually into guys. I suspect the latter.

Great Post and good points made. However, he could quite easily have come back with the same comment about he wasn't looking for a meet and called you arrogant.

I think with this as with so many situations in life, It's a good idea to think about why someone responds a certain way.

For instance if I was a single woman on here I'd respond to all 'hi' messages with a 'no thanks' or a block whoever they were from. Experience would tell me it was the best thing to do.

Youve got a verification from a man on your profile, you will come across as a man that doesn't take issue with other men verifying you or playing in scenarios with other men. You'll likely get approached because of the prospect of mmf etc and some may even think you're bi but not displaying it in order to not scare women off. That happens a lot on here, bi guys keep it quiet to up their chances with women.

You would be surprised how many people see, what is frankly some pretty on-the-nose trolling & yet still fail the IQ test... including the lad who just now felt the need to slide into my DMs just to tell me how much he isn't intrested in men

This is why I should stop giving people the benefit of the doubt & just assume stupidity from the off.

It's harder to get disappointed that way.

Ok, my last post in this thread. I like to think that I respect everyone just as I like to be respected back. A few months ago now and whilst taking part on the nice jolly thread of fab a fella, I saw a pic of a guy that caught my attention. Not sexually and also it was not a sexual picture. It was however a very nice artistic black and white picture. I like photography and have before taken and developed hundrends of pics, especially from my travels. I liked that pic and in the spirit of that thread where everyone fabs everyone else, I fabbed the pic. In less than 5 mins I was blocked. His choice of course but certainly not the sort of straight guy I want to associate with not just in here or in the real world to. If someone sends inappropriate messages or pesters anyone or make assumptions about other people's preferences, that is unacceptable as is assuming because you fabbed a pic, it was anything more than just that. Perhaps the OP was generally surprised with this. I was surprised by a lot of stuff when I joined. Btw, thank you to all the straight guys, and evrryone else of course, who fabbed the xmas pic. All the best to everyone and the best of seasons greetings

That was a mmf cam session and it's that it was involving a female. This guy stated gay. looking to meet M and MM group only.

If a guy approaches me in the hope that something might happen either with or without a female then fine. I replied "no thanks" but the response was completely uncalled for. Accusing me of being arrogant and that he wasn't actually looking for a meet. Of course he was...

To be serious, I have never, not even once, ever initiated contact with anyone who wasn't explicity looking for TV/TS in their profile.

If only I could say the same was true in reverse with 'straight' men on here

I've even had to reply back to messages "you do know I'm a TV right?“ just to clarify that they are actually a human & not some automated chatbot, and they're like "yeah I want to hold your balls while I fuck you" or something similar

So, a large proportion of “straight” men on fab are actually bi. I guess they are projecting onto others and since you don’t block them they assume wrongly.

It happens, we don't meet men yet most of our messages are from men who think showing me a cock pic will somehow change my mind, if anything it solidifies in my mind the exact reason we don't meet men.

I can only guess it’s because lots of straight guys aren’t that straight. As bi guy I get lots of just Hi messages from straight profile in no way suggests interested in men. What I do with it - I ignore. Doesn’t matter if it’s from male or female profile gay straight or bi.

Your profile is the common denominator here: your cherubic face is on full show, your portfolio of identikit cock photos and ejaculations are drawing in a captive audience: men. IF I was that way inclined I would too.

P.S. I'm not critiquing your profile or giving any form of profile advice; it's just my observation. It's your profile to do as you please and not my business.

I have never messaged any guy who has straight on their profile. However I do get a lot of winks and messages from “straight” guys.

When I point out they are “straight” you get a lot of excuses why they do not have bi or gay or even curious on their profile.

“I don’t want to put people off messaging me who only want straight guys”

“I know people on here and don’t want it out there”

I get more interest from “straight” guys than I do gay or bi.

"

(OP)

Maybe I get too many "want a discreet meet" messages from men."

Maybe, in that case something in your profile is misleading them into thinking you want meets with men.

Some men include 'couples' as a preference in order only to get access to the female from the couple, while others might fancy a bit of MM play via meeting a couple.

profiles with lots of cock shots are also far more likely to appeal to certain men, whereas many women don't even want to see ANY cock pictures.

I suspect that the problem was self inflicted.
