Handling rejection

Would you say how you handle rejection is a big component to being on this site? Just something I've been thinking about today.

Yes. But rejection on this site isn’t that deep to me as it’s mostly from strangers based on an initial attraction and message. Rejection I struggle with is from people I’ve connected with and genuinely fancy.

Expect nothing and just accept that it’s hard to put your real self forward online.

Rejection in person is a totally different thing.

Online… don’t give it a second thought.

Oh I’ve just read the post properly. On fab it still sucks but it won’t ruin my day. Fab is a fairly superficial place at times so if an opening message is knocked back then I’d just assume they’re not attracted to me which isn’t a nice feeling but not the end of the world

Cry. That’s my response. And is what I’m doing right now because of rejection 😩

I feel like I’m far too sensitive to be in this place.

Not sure. I very rarely send messages so I don’t really have to deal with it too much. I imagine constantly getting rejected must affect people though. I hate doing it too. I’m one of those who doesn’t answer if I’m not interested. I’d hate to make someone feel crap about themselves 😕

Rejection on here means nothing. People/we will just move on to the next person. People are superficial in their attraction unless it’s reciprocated.

If there’s a connection then it’ll mean more but it’s usually circumstance rather than attraction that’s the change then.

Afternoon OP

Rejection on fab should not be taken to heart I think.

I only say this because it feels so detached from reality …. Where else are there thousands of guys vying for the attention of the handful (not quite I know but in comparison) of couples and ladies??

You can’t be for everyone …and the likelihood of finding someone who you are is small ….both being online / your message being seen before it’s lost in the masses / etc etc ….

We just have to accept and enjoy the other parts …and if no rejection and something comes from it… what a bonus that is

Agree online, we don't give it a second thought. In person can be slightly more disappointing, but still fine. Best to say up front than waste anyone's time. What *is* more difficult to get our heads round though, is when a person or couple is initially keen, and then rejects us because they didn't read our profile to the end first

I think everyone needs an approach to dealing with rejection when you join Fab: no one should feel rejection is inevitable or not shoot their shot because of fear, but you need to be realistic, given the numbers, distances, and the nature of attraction.

The absolute worst people are those who feel an absolute entitlement to attention and sex, and deal with rejection like abusive babies.

I agree. A female friend was showing me the messages she gets when she rejected men. The entitlement is through the roof. Constant death threats and abuse. I just don't get it.

Move on, don't start getting abusive.

I guess so? It's very easy to handle in here though? A 'Thanks but no' just gets a block and delete in return, so I get on with my day afterwards? Compare that to the ignorance and blanking you receive as a single guy in clubs, that's far harder to deal with....

If it's rejection on here then it's pretty easy to handle, someone who knows nothing about me makes a judgement on what's on my profile and decides from that. Plus women have a lot of different choice on here.

In real life it's not as easy but still not everyone can like you or be attracted to you just as I'm not attracted to every woman I see or speak to.

I don't have the sort of conversations on here that can lead to rejection and it's only after weeks of general chit chat that I'll agree to meet socially to determine if there is any physical chemistry.

I've never been rejected by anyone I've actually met through fab in the true sense of the word.

Conversation has fizzled out but no-one has actually said they didn't want to meet me again.

On the flip side there have been lots of times I haven't felt any connection when meeting in person and just allowed the follow up to fade away without saying they weren't my type.

I have been rejected when I was much younger so I know what it feels like but on here I don't have those issues.

I would be dishonest if I said that I've never been rejected. On Fab I rarely send the first message, other than to other forum dwellers / fab friends, and therefore it's quite rare.

I usually interpret the 'slow decay of conversation' as a sign of no longer interested...thus 'rejection', but it's been years since a woman uttered the ill-fated words "no thanks and / or I'm not interested".

In any case — to temper the situation I always take a small soft teddy bear 🧸 with me on my dates. At least there's something for me to cuddle on the return journey aboard the Rejection Express. 🚂

On the odd occasion I do message someone, if it gets read with no response I carry on with my day as normal! I do have a load of sympathy for the women and couples on here as I’ve been on here as part of a couple before, and the levels of abuse for not responding within 30 seconds of reading a message is unreal. Those people need a fucking good shake and put on a watch list.

Half the time as you surely know

, you just don’t get ‘rejected’. They just don’t bother getting back to you, I get some have lot of messages, but rude is rude for me. I out on it’s fine if I not for you delete the message and that do. The ones that do reply are usually meeting or rejecting like you say, I have zero issues with it at all, the funny thing is they weren’t on to some sort of sure thing and yeah a great bum or boobs rock but if you’re not attracted to them, you’d not have even given the chance to them to reject.

I don’t really see it as a rejection to be honest, maybe because I tend to go very slowly, and I only move things further when I’m fairly certain they’re interested in more.

I mean, it’s happened a couple of times I fancied someone and they didn’t fancy me or I went for a job that I wanted and didn’t get it, but I don’t really see it as rejection. It’s more that it just wasn’t right, there was some umbrella, it was bad timing, I wasn’t what they wanted

I think, if you see as a rejection, you’re choosing to inflict emotional pain on yourself.

As someone who is time poor rejection really helps with that

As a guy in my 50’s very very rarely even get a reply from women. When my late partner was on here with me. We were bombarded and I made her always answer even if negative but polite.

Rejection doesn't bother me at all, I'm well aware I'm not going to be everyone's cup of tea and I'm OK with that.

I have to admit to not sending messages, even polite ones, to guys that I'm not interested in after having so much abuse for it! "Didn't want to fuck you anyway, you fat slag" particularly stands out to me, what a delightful way to respond to rejection.

I think rejection is just part of life and if you get it on here you just have to accept it and flick it off your shoulder and move on. Someone on here that maybe does not want to chat or meet me isn't a rejection that hurts me, it just means I am not for them. However if I am applying for a new job and don't get it......that rejection is more difficult to brush off but you still got to do it.

I don't think it's rejection. Someone you don't know saying no to your message when you're half-mast and cut isn't exactly rejecting.

Anyway, I've never really experienced it here. I think that's because I tend to build friendships first and then go from there. It works for me, people want to see me again, everything is good.

It's not rejection... It's someone else's missed opportunity x
