"So you've swapped a few pleasantries, they've mentioned meeting and you ask to exchange face pics. Unfortunately you don't feel the attraction. I usually go with the "sorry you're not my type". It's been suggested I should have not messaged back or made an excuse of being busy as what I'd said was insulting, ill-mannered and disrespectful. I don't agree in the slightest, I prefer to be honest but it did get me thinking if my approach was blunt. Is there a kind way to to reject someone after swapping face pics? " Tell them in future when you ask for a face pic you mean a face pic and not a pic of their arse. | |||

I think your approach is spot on though, by saying they are not your type you are not denigrating them or criticising them in any way, just saying they are not for you. Rejection is hard to take but I guess you have to expect it if you approach people on a site like this, after all everyone's tastes are different. | |||

"If you're on a NSA sex site you should be adult enough to realise you're not for everyone, therefore rejection shouldn't be taken personally. Blunt is fine as long as it's not rude." I agree completely, apart from..... personally is the only way you can take it. It really can't be taken any way but personally. There's no need to take offence though, anyone who thinks they can use a site like fab and not get rebuffed occasionally is deluded. Cal | |||

"I always send a picture with My first correspondance. That way if there is no reply over a period, the obvious is evidant. When no picture is sent initially, I too find this the process, however, some people like sugar, and others prefer honey, not all prefer None....Stick with your process, those that hurl abuse, aren't really grown or educated enough to accept the responsibility of integrity." I do prefer those who send a pic with the initial message, gets rid of this situation completely. | |||

"If you're on a NSA sex site you should be adult enough to realise you're not for everyone, therefore rejection shouldn't be taken personally. Blunt is fine as long as it's not rude." True, I chatted with a couple a while back, asked for and received pics. Politely messaged back to say, sorry your not my type, and received a load of abuse back and was then blocked | |||

"I'm all for being honest. If someone isn't my type or I don't like the look of them... I will say. Unfortuntely, the last time I did this I was sent 7 follow up messages of them wanting a full explanation of why " Block after the first follow up asking for explanations. | |||

That's exactly what I do. Photo/s with the first message sent. And if people don't want to talk or reciprocate. Take it on the chin and move on. | |||

'Sorry, I don't fancy you'. Problem is I've sometimes fancied some after talking and not immediately from what hey looked like. So I'm always worried about sending a face pic, (I'm not photogenic, better in person apparently. ) But to have closure with being turned down is what I would want. [i was very wet behind the ears when I joined, I was asked for a pic, sent it, and she read-deleted-and blocked me. No explanation. That as far as I'm concerned is shear ignorance.] | |||

" Unfortuntely, the last time I did this I was sent 7 follow up messages of them wanting a full explanation of why " When they do this, demand an explanation why several times then I tell them. Honestly tell them. A simple no thanks or you are not my type should suffice, if they can't take a polite rejection maybe they will accept a blunt one. | |||

"I'd rather not be told straight that I am an ugly fucker but someone telling me that I am not their type is fine and I accept it and move on....I think I must be used to it Lol x" that's it though, you can't really call someone ugly just because you don't fancy them. it just means they don't appeal to you, tey might be the hottest thing to someone else. | |||

" There is no nice way to reject someone so you may as well stop looking for one. It always feels a bit shit for the person being rejected especially if the rejection is on looks alone. There is no getting around that. That being said, if you've made up your mind that your not going to see someone after you've been chatting to them a while it's probably better to let them know sooner rather than later and, whilst not being nasty or belittling, it may as well be blunt and clear so you're probably doing the right and best thing OP. | |||

"I ask for a face pic fairly early on as the longer you leave the more awkward it is I find because you have already started building a bit of a rapport " It is awkward, and that is why I wish men would send a face pic early and have a cock pic on their profile - it's even worse to have to reject someone you're getting on with because his pride and joy does not appeal when it is suddenly revealed way down the line!! I don't share face pics straight away so I never ask for one up front, but I feel for the guys who set themselves up for rejection later, the ladies have a lot of choice on here. | |||

"Honest and up front without being rude is the way we handle it, and prefer to be treated when the roles are reversed. We're all adults after all, this really isn't the site to be on if rejection is an issue." Exactly this | |||

"I think it's best that everyone knows where they stand." I hate it when people say they're busy right now but maybe some other time. It just keeps it hanging on. Will they.. won't they..? "You look lovely but not what I'm looking for sorry. Hope you find someone nice." -works for me. Never had angry mails back, but I honestly think they are just relieved. People get pissed off at rejection when they *really* want to shag that person. That might not help people that get abusive replies, but it probably really is a warped compliment folks. | |||
