"Why oh why cant some people just accept that we don't fancy them and move on. It doesn't bother me because I just use the delete and block button, but I do wonder why they insist on needing to know why I don't fancy them. If a guy told me I wasn't for him, I wouldn't actually want to know why. " a bit like an interview, we learn from every msg, so feedback is both polite and useful. | |||

"Put on your profile you cant mail everyone back and thanks for mailing you .That way you don't have to hurt there feelings and don't have to mail all back ." I could do that but my profile is long enough and I doubt all of it is read. It's usually when a couple of messages have been sent then followed by a picture, I politely say no thanks then get bombarded with messages asking why I don't fancy them. I am always polite but dont think I should have to give my reasons as we can't all fancy everyone who makes contact.Sometimes it's just as simple as I'm not attracted to them. | |||

I see no need and had no nasty mail ... I think people get bored here and fill there time blocking people they don't know its like a sport to some people. | |||

"'But why don't you like me'? 'What is wrong with me'? Thing is some take it personally and then get abusive if I send a reply " They don't get abusive with me but do continue to ask why and what they will do to change so that I will meet them, they start to look desperate and that's when I use the block button. A bit sad really but nothing I can do about it. | |||

"Must admit the majority of guys I have sent a rejection to have generally replied saying thanks for the reply. Either that they say nothing and delete as expected. If on the very rare occasion they ask why I will tell them but I will be honest and is at that point they sometimes get nasty. At that point I will block them, not because it's a sport as someone mentioned but because I don't tolerate rude people. If they can't take honesty then don't ask. " | |||

"I very rarely get the why question,most people are really polite about it If anyone continues to mail I just ignore them as ive said what I needed to say and thats the end of it for me" Same for me .. Maybe we are just lucky we don't get nasty ones .. why I have not one in block . | |||

"In a majority of cases if guys read profiles fully they would understand why they have been rejected as its clear on most profiles. If guys choose to ignore peoples preferenced or dont read profiles then they deserrve all the non replies or rejections " Exactly, I think my profile is pretty clear. | |||

And I also block people I have contacted who are not interested as it means I won't message them again. I just find it easier. I don't necessarily block straight away - usually when they just won't take no for an answer. Or they message repeatedly either trying their luck or because they have forgotten they have messaged me before. Guys do send out a lot of messages I imagine so they cannot keep track of everyone they have contacted. I tend to get more of this if I put an ad up - lots of chancers who know I have rejected them before but think, because I advertise for a meet, then I will relax my preferences. Mostly I do get a polite response - but for those who take the piss there is the block button and that is what it is there for. I don't understand why some on here think that somehow it makes you a bad person if you use it. I really cannot stand that 'holier than thou' attitude (that's not directed at anyone in particular). I use the site facilities to suit me - that's the point of them. | |||

"On one or two other sites I have seen a standard polite rejection message that can be sent at the touch of a button, which is obviously less personal than a composed message, but may go someway towards at least being acknowledged, and mitigating the rejection. " I've been on a site like that. It doesn't work - they repeatedly message you no matter how many rejections they get in the hope, perhaps, of wearing you down. Then the block button has to be employed. | |||

I have had over 200 letters a day here at times .. would be mailing all day long no thanks .. Just don't wish to hurt there feelings SO say it in my profile. | |||

The problem arises when they don't read the profile. I have it on my profile that if they get a no thanks that's all there is. I don't like being asked why - but I still get that! Then I block. | |||

"A quick "fuck off you are a wanker" works every time. Oh shit. Not that I would know. Just what I heard." I am never rude and abusive to people, unless someone sends me a rude message. Then they get what's coming - but I never use profanity. I just honestly tell them why they were rejected. And the truth can hurt! | |||

Well I just don't mail back as I said it and up to them to read ... Do you think be best at top of profile in big letters ? maybe it would . " I don't want something shouty at the top of my profile and it would still remain unread. And I don't mail back. I block and delete. Simple. | |||

"I know this is a bit off topic but... This is what worries us about clubs. If they can't take a rejection on here how do you deal with it face to face. You say sorry no thank you. They say why not. And you end up going in circles trying not to offend them. But as never having been to a club it might not be like that lol" It's actually easier face to face in clubs! For starters you can see them - not just a faceless avatar behind a keyboard. And secondly anyone in a club environment that gets pushy (including the 'why not?' guys that don't take an initial no as an answer - very rare!) faces being evicted and banned if reported. A good motivator to behave. And if verbal reasoning fails - a death stare and a loud "Fuck off - I said No!" in earshot of others will cause sufficient embarrassment for the offender to lose the ability to get an erection for a week or two! | |||

"I had a guy asking to meet today. I sent a polite reply saying no thanks because he obviously not read the profile. He replied saying he don't like being told what to do and didn't like my controlling attitude. Did make me giggle but don't these idiots give the genuine single guys a bad name. " Nope! Said it many a time before - nobody gives me a bad name. Or anyone else for that matter. Everyone's an individual and the 'giving a bad name' line is a total crock of shit! | |||
