Research lists some of the following as the top reasons women do not respond to messages on sites:

1. They have so many messages to go through and therefore want to take their time to respond to the "best".

2. They feel they deserve BETTER than that man who has messaged them.

3. They try to play mind games to make men think they are of higher value than they actually are.

4. They just are not into the man that messaged them.

5. Women find 85% of men UNATTRACTIVE.

The research went on to say that the EXCUSE of "not having time" or being too busy to respond is just that AN EXCUSE. They had time to send the excuse. They had time to read the message. They had time to set up the profile. They had time to log on.

Your thoughts...?

The most common reason is the need to create a divide between men and women. Yes some women are entitled and yes some men are arseholes but that doesn't account for everyone. People need to stop putting so much focus on strangers on the internet for their validation and attention. No one is a victim here, we all choose to be on a website where rejection is common, judgement is the norm and attraction is at the forefront of most people's minds. If people can't handle the bad aswell as the good, they shouldn't be here.

It’s well known from analysis of dating sites that 85% of women are attracted to the same 5% of men. I don’t doubt that there are similar stats for Fab.

Also a significant difference is that men on dating sites show more pictures and have profiles which are more attractive to women and what they looking for but on Fab a lot of the guys complaining just show a pasty fat hairy torso, cock pics over a toilet, minimal effort with profile and expect results..

In response to the findings of your ‘research’:

1. Agree - why would I bother replying to those I am not attracted to interested in chatting with? It’s unsolicited mail.

2. Often, yes that is true. Some of the drivel that gets sent is disgusting or lazy or crude and I do deserve better than that.

3. Disagree - I have no interest in playing mind games. I just know my worth.

4. 90% true

5. Also true. I am very fussy, I won’t settle and I don’t find the majority of men attractive.

In regards to your follow up comments… see point 1. It’s unsolicited mail. I didn’t ask for it. If there is no interest, why would I bother replying - it’s a waste of my time. No reply = not interested (see Fab rules for further ‘research’)

I would also agree with Nora’s points 6-8 as well. Hope that helps OP.

Exactly what I've done the past three years or so.

I used to crave attention and the severe lack of interest used to depress me something fierce.

Not the bad type of craving, I might add. Just eager and love talking to new people, especially when the back and forth is good. I suppose it was actually bad for me 🤨 lol.

Nowadays, I've adopted a "Meh, whatever" attitude to sites and apps. I've had ridiculous amounts of fun going out raving this year. I've seen a bunch of my favourite DJs and more to come before the year is done.

Couldn't imagine going back to how things were before. Sod that. 😅

God knows who did and wrote up this 'research'. A man?

It's natural that you'd only be attracted to a small minority of people though.

It's too loaded about not having the time and it being an excuse! . You can have the time to set up the profile but it won't have been spent to engage with the wrong people.

It sounds misogynistic, especially the part that claims women are doing it to play games.

My thoughts...

1. They have so many messages to go through and therefore want to take their time to respond to the "best".

I don't get large numbers of messages but, yes, I prefer to invest my time in responding to those who I think are better suited to me and what I'm looking for. Why would I do otherwise?

2. They feel they deserve BETTER than that man who has messaged them.

This is sometimes the case. See point 1. Also, I deserve "better" than someone who sends me a crude message, who expects that I want to fuck them at any given time of the day that they happen to have a dose of the horn or be close by.

3. They try to play mind games to make men think they are of higher value than they actually are.

I've no interest in mind games, nor do I base my self-worth on Fab popularity. I'd suggest that the ones with ego issues are those who can't accept that no reply means the message recipient isn't interested.

4. They just are not into the man that messaged them.

Yes. And?

5. Women find 85% of men UNATTRACTIVE.

Yes. And? Why would I want to fuck someone I don't find attractive?

The research went on to say that the EXCUSE of "not having time" or being too busy to respond is just that AN EXCUSE. They had time to send the excuse. They had time to read the message. They had time to set up the profile. They had time to log on.

As I said in point 1, I don't normally get large numbers of messages. Regardless, how I spend my time on Fab is my choice. Whether that's developing connections already made or bumming about on the forums or just browsing, it's my choice. If, for example , I have an hour free to mooch on Fab, and I get into a conversation with someone, or find an interesting topic on the forums, and that hour goes by and I haven't replied to any messages, I still haven't had time. I'm not under contract here. Also consider how absolutely dire it is to spend the whole time you have free for Fab to devote it to what you're NOT looking for just because some people can't accept that no reply means no thanks.

Re point 5.

100% of women (who are looking for men) probably find 15% of the men (at the absolute most) they meet attractive. It should be noted and probably sent in a memo to *some* men that this will not be the same 15%.

The big news of the day is that women are individuals and are not all attracted to the same men thereby giving the majority of men a realistic chance, with the emphasis on 'realistic'.

Point 3 is concerning, these are strangers on the internet not some colleague at work, friend or acquaintance. They don’t know you past your profile and your best pictures you’ve posted.

So thinking complete strangers are playing ‘mind games’ is a red flag as far as I’m concerned.

But in answer to the topic.

I don't care if that pisses someone off or they think I'm rude etc. Or even that I'm playing games. (Which I'm too old to be bothered with on here or anywhere else ).

I keep my filters very tight so I don't get much mail my profile states I'm not doing any new meets at present. If people ignore that well that's on them not me. And when I am meeting new people I will still be as fussy as I always have been, because why would I want to fuck anyone I'm not attracted to.

If these are genuine thoughts and not satirical, then it's sad that it appears people seem to have them more and more these days. 😕

All this online stuff has the ability to destroy even the most stubborn and grounded person, if unchecked.

Changes in attitude and expectation make such a difference. Care less, expect less. It's very simple, but does need a bit of time for adjustment.

More time spent taking better care of yourself, alongside focusing on things that make you feel good, will soften the relentless blows from this harsh wasteland. 😊

"I would love to know the reason the OP has not responded to all the comments on his thread. Anyone got any research on this?"

Yeah (but please dont shoot the messenger).

I invite anyone and everyone to start by sticking the following in a search engine.

"45% of Women to Be Single, Childless by 2030: Morgan Stanley Study".

For those who dont know, Morgan Stanley is an Investment Banking company so it's an unbiased source.

The study in itself does not mention anything about what the OP said. It acctually has some rather feminist takes to be honest.

But it is interconnected to numerous other studies such as information drawn from Dating apps, Goverment studies, independant investigations and surveys done by numerous Institutions and Universities which do back up some of the claims OP makes, especially when it comes to online interactions between men and women.

So it does not matter if people dont agree with what he's saying or if he's even 100% correct because for all the forums full of people talking endlessly about it, there is data out there by legitimate research agencys to support the claims made.

What anyone chooses to make of the data is up to them but I'll say this much.

Sad truth is, if you go down an information rabbit hole and look at data recorded by goverments, universities, private institues etc there really is a growing divide between the genders politically, socially and fincially and there is significant birth rate drop happening around the world.

"IF" this trend continues and Moran Stanley is correct (and remember they're litterally banking real money on the fact that they are) we are witnessing the slow death of "family". That 45% of women in 2030...it'll be 60% by 2040...and it will just rise.

I dont know whats going to happen and I'll be dead and gone when it does but it's going to be a very different world in years to come.

1. They have so many messages to go through and therefore want to take their time to respond to the "best". 💜 Valid. If I have 30 messages in my inbox and 27 of them are less than 4 words and or incude dick pics, I'm only replying to the 3 that bothered to reach out properly.

2. They feel they deserve BETTER than that man who has messaged them. 💜 A better fit. Different. Not necessarily better than.

3. They try to play mind games to make men think they are of higher value than they actually are. 💜 Yes. We inly actually get 2 messages a month that we ignore so those people think we're super in demand and unattainable. It's the only way us silly sleeves get any delicious penis.

4. They just are not into the man that messaged them. 💜 Valid.

5. Women find 85% of men UNATTRACTIVE. 💜 In a room of 100 or so people, it's unlikely I'd be drawn to more than 2 of them. So more like 98% for me. Most people aren't compatible with most people.

The research went on to say that the EXCUSE of "not having time" or being too busy to respond is just that AN EXCUSE. They had time to send the excuse. They had time to read the message. They had time to set up the profile. They had time to log on. 💜 You're not owed an excuse for someone not being interested in unsolicited contact.

Yeah, there is a vast difference between quickly checking messages and taking time to write a proper response.

"Sorry, I'm busy." is short, but also somewhat pointless to send. It just eats that extra little bit of time a person might have in between doing something.

Who knows what their schedule is like and what random events have managed to get in the way.

If a person isn't replying, then I think we can all safely assume they're likely to be busy, y'know?

Personally, I can't stand having any notifications on my phone or apps. I have to get rid of them or obsess about it 🙄 lol.

Also, something I noticed people forgot all the time, on another place I used to visit:

Chances are, you're not the only person they're chatting with. There might be somebody who has been around longer and they're more invested in them. It's a very natural and common thing to happen, especially as we tend to go through the same beginnings of conversation repeatedly.

It's generally a case of simply waiting your turn. If things are going good, they'll reply in due time.

Not the North West...

The too many messages thing is easily solved, put your filters on when it gets too much.

I don't reply to 99% of them because I just don't find them attractive.

"I would love to know the reason the OP has not responded to all the comments on his thread. Anyone got any research on this?

Yeah (but please dont shoot the messenger).

I invite anyone and everyone to start by sticking the following in a search engine.

"45% of Women to Be Single, Childless by 2030: Morgan Stanley Study".

For those who dont know, Morgan Stanley is an Investment Banking company so it's an unbiased source.

The study in itself does not mention anything about what the OP said. It acctually has some rather feminist takes to be honest.

But it is interconnected to numerous other studies such as information drawn from Dating apps, Goverment studies, independant investigations and surveys done by numerous Institutions and Universities which do back up some of the claims OP makes, especially when it comes to online interactions between men and women.

So it does not matter if people dont agree with what he's saying or if he's even 100% correct because for all the forums full of people talking endlessly about it, there is data out there by legitimate research agencys to support the claims made.

What anyone chooses to make of the data is up to them but I'll say this much.

Sad truth is, if you go down an information rabbit hole and look at data recorded by goverments, universities, private institues etc there really is a growing divide between the genders politically, socially and fincially and there is significant birth rate drop happening around the world.

"IF" this trend continues and Moran Stanley is correct (and remember they're litterally banking real money on the fact that they are) we are witnessing the slow death of "family". That 45% of women in 2030...it'll be 60% by 2040...and it will just rise.

I dont know whats going to happen and I'll be dead and gone when it does but it's going to be a very different world in years to come.

"

So out of 1000 women 450 will want me to leave in the morning? Result.

"I don't reply to 99% of them because I just don't find them attractive. "

Some people like to downplay attraction in a casual setting, but personally I think it plays a huge part in finding the right person.

After all, it's a base instinct to seek out people we find visually pleasing. There's nothing wrong with that.

As I've seen said here many, many times in the relatively short amount of time I've been here.

We all have preferences. Someone caring about looks, is as important to them as another who doesn't.

Differences are what make us interesting. Would be boring as shit if we were all the same. 😄

"In response to the findings of your ‘research’:

1. Agree - why would I bother replying to those I am not attracted to interested in chatting with? It’s unsolicited mail.

2. Often, yes that is true. Some of the drivel that gets sent is disgusting or lazy or crude and I do deserve better than that.

3. Disagree - I have no interest in playing mind games. I just know my worth.

4. 90% true

5. Also true. I am very fussy, I won’t settle and I don’t find the majority of men attractive.

In regards to your follow up comments… see point 1. It’s unsolicited mail. I didn’t ask for it. If there is no interest, why would I bother replying - it’s a waste of my time. No reply = not interested (see Fab rules for further ‘research’)

I would also agree with Nora’s points 6-8 as well. Hope that helps OP. "

👏

98% of statistics are made up

1% of statistics are mathematical abberations

1% might actually mean something

5.

And then in conversation the percentage of attractiveness drops drastically further, usually to zero, with the odd flying pig briefly visible.
