A female friend of mine just joined the site and she showed me just how many messages she got in the first day....350....she couldn't cope with that and promptly left the site...

I think somehow we guys/the site admin need to help the ladies and couples out more so that there are a manageable number and quality of messages to handle...

It does make me wonder how many messages get sent?

Even at 100-1 That probably means some blokes are sending messages to every woman within a 50 mile radius, every day? No wonder women are inundated, even with their filters on.

I pointed this out once. Guys would give women some space. I got guys telling me I should have done the same to stand a chance of talking to her, by waiting and giving her space, guys go back of the Queue 'nice guys finish last' on here apparently.

I also got told I was a white knight. (compliment thanks)

Quantity can be reduced by the use of filters. Quality? How can any system deal with that?

when our old profile was hacked i set up a single fem one- changed it over to this within two or 3 weeks but in that first half hour whilst i was writing the profile and setting limits and filters i had a lot of messages - i just mass deleted them - was an eyeopener as no pics were up and i hadnt given much info - anybody that messages people in that way werent worth our effort - if there was a mass block button i would have used it

A lot of guys just look to see who is online nearby and just message them all with the same message without looking at the profiles. And then put up ranty statuses about how they don't get any replies and how rude the women are to delete their messages without reading.

Maybe because as a guy I've never had the need to use filters...and also maybe as a newby she wasn't familiar enough to know about them, maybe this feature can be made more prominent for newbies and also enhanced to filter more things....probably lots of people leaving the site based on being overwhelmed immediately upon joining.

I think that most guys simply don't realise that ladies are bombarded with messages. I have female friends who have joined, not even finished their profile or posted a pic and have 15 messages within minutes....mostly "Hi, wanna fuck?" type messages.

But even if some of the mail is polite and respectful, sorting through scores of messages after a day at work is no fun for the ladies of Fab.

I do think that men need to be aware of what these sites can be like for women...and vice versa.

What if there were filters for message length? "No one liners except from people you've already exchanged messages with", that type of thing. Might be a crude quality filter.

Hang on I'll get my violin out for those poor delicate flowers that can't work out filters and delete all messages. When i started my profile i immediately hid it until I'd added my pics and profile text and found my way round the filters. I worked all that out by myself.....I'm not sure why anyone else with half a brain couldn't work out to do that. It isn't exactly rocket science!!

Must admit when I set up a couple profile for me and an ex once within minutes of starting the account we started to get the messages such as "you look hot" we didn't even have photos at that point. Lucky for us we know the filters. I agree that these should be introduced as part of the initial set up of profile that way you understand what they are and what they do.

Filters and keeping your profile hidden are tools to limit overload.

It can be overwhelming here and cause distress for some. I've had periods where I've hardly managed my inbox and been really slow to respond.

Guys should assume no reply means no interest - but it could change, if someone is slower with their message load.

Exactly lucky for us both we'd been on the site as singles so knew how to filter.

Trouble is you can't blame the guys (who try) for trying as for the one liners they deserve getting deleted and blocked.

Filters as they stand are not good enough in my opinion. For example :

1. There is no distinction between photo verified and verified by meet/cam.

2. All of the filters are not part of the account setup

3. There is no filter on sending multiple unreplied first messages to the same person.

If we can do a few things to improve then why not? I agree there are measures in place but I think some improvements would make a positive difference.

When I rejoined on this profile I created it then hid it and logged back off for a week. That way I didn't appear as 'new' which seems to bring out the hoardes who smell fresh meat. That and sensible use of filters mostly do the trick although I won't pretend I'm on top of my messages.

There are both free and paid options, even the paid option does not allow you to filter on other things.

Can I ask why there is a resistance to making the existing features more easily known and also the "just deal with it" mentality rather than trying to reduce what is effectively slam and timewasting.

Well I can't speak for everyone but my mentality towards this site is ~ it isn't the be all and end all for me ~ I use it to chat in the forums & occasionally meet up. It's just not that important & really easy to press the delete button or delete all when the messages get too much.

I think the issue here isn't the site not having the tools it's the users being too lazy to use them or actually enjoying the attention whilst moaning about it.

I have always thought that when any new account is set up its should automatically be with all filters set then the user could get referred directly to that page and in set them as they see fit to or opt to just browse, upload some pictures and settle in before being bombarded by people.

I think that's a good idea, have them all set by default to start off with and then people can decide who they want messages from, rather than the other way round. No excuses for whinging about it then.

I quite agree. I've no filters up and I receive approx 50 odd messages a day. What I haven't got round to reading each week I mass delete. If they are keen enogth they will message back. xxx

There is, they get tips on how to use their filters.

Even now we have a bright yellow link showing up telling us if we are not wanting mails from single men we can filter them.

I've suggested multiple categories for single males many times before to try and solve the problems of

Single male frustration amongst those who make an effort, take good pics, write good profiles and messages, and take justifiable offence to being lumped in with the 'hi/fancy a fuck' crowd

Females and couples who got into swinging hoping to find guys they could rely on to help them find the sort of sexy and liberating experiences they're looking for, and instead end up finding a gushing sewage pipe, perhaps with an occasional diamond in it, but who want's to look for them when you're caught in a storm of turds?

Still, all guys have an equal right to swing, right? RIGHT?

And as a result of that belief - far fewer guys get to

Can I ask why there is a resistance to making the existing features more easily known and also the "just deal with it" mentality rather than trying to reduce what is effectively slam and timewasting.

Can i ask what is so difficult about finding the "delete all messages" and "block all men/women etc" settings? It really doesn't take long to find them. I think the issue here isn't the site not having the tools it's the users being too lazy to use them or actually enjoying the attention whilst moaning about it."

These options delete both wanted messages as well as unwanted ones, same for the block. I am proposing a small change where we are more likely to receive wanted messages if we so desire. Never mind, carry on as we are it sounds like!

I don't get any messages and its how I like it. There really is no point moaning about how many messages you get and that you cannot possibly reply to them all when you have complete control over this. I often think people like the very attention they moan about.

And that's always been the mindset, and has been for years - the forums continue to be saturated with frustrated guys, less so dissatisfied women and couples though you get plenty of those too, not as many of guys of course, but then you don't have the same saturation.

This attitude has pretty much lead to the site becoming like a dirty clump of brown plasticine very few people actually enjoy playing with. Sure, you do get a certain vocal, cliquey minority who like things the way they are, they can go to the clubs (paying through the nose if they're male), chat to the same few people they always do, maybe have a bit of satisfactory sex...but for people who want to be able to log into the site knowing they have a good shot at finding people who excite them, and making contact, perhaps for a bit of fun and adventure, no, the current set up is woefully ineffective.

Still, why would the swinging world change, when there are plenty of guys willing to empty their pockets for so little in return?

"A female friend of mine just joined the site and she showed me just how many messages she got in the first day....350....she couldn't cope with that and promptly left the site...

I think somehow we guys/the site admin need to help the ladies and couples out more so that there are a manageable number and quality of messages to handle..."

She 'couldn't cope'? FFS does she not know how to delete spam?

Some women never cease to amaze me with their lack of common sense and inability to work out how to use filters...excluding of course the ones who love all the attention and post cringe-worthy '500 unread messages' statuses.

Either I've got my tight filters spot on or I'm a mardy bitch who nobody wants to message - whatever way I rarely get more than 30 a day
