Rude?!

Since when has someone saying sorry you aren't my type considered rude?

A polite no thanks is all I'd have thought is required yet today all I've had is that I'm rude for saying no thanks.

Would it be preferable to just delete? I thought honesty was best policy?

Thanks but no thanks always works for me. I find that far more polite then my message being deleted.

Babe I am sick to the back teeth of getting abuse for gently declining.

If I feel like the message was well thought out and they have put effort in I always reply, even if it's a no thanks. But I'm starting to become bitter about doing that now as the abuse just isn't worth it

I think for some not replying would be better than recieving a knock back.

It’s worse when they send their OH to carry it on on a different profile.

‘Oh sorry. I’ve changed my mind now. Come straight round’.

Just delete and block. I thought people exaggerated on here until my ex showed me the sheer amount of messages she got. It’s funny how one minute she was hot as hell the next a dog when she said no.

Until very recently we've only ever had people politely accept our "thanks but you aren't for us".

It was bound to happen at some point. .. and it happened this weekend

Some people just can't take rejection.

I get declined all the time and to be honest I always prefer the people who spend the time to reply and say no thanks and I always reply with a thank you it’s just polite and nice and after I then block them as not to harass them again with a message later on down the line

Although it’s not nice being turned down time and time again the polite people keep your hopes alive

What this lady said. I politely declined someone today as the chat was as dry as a nuns. I got a tirade of abuse and told I probably “have loads of kids”.

Although I have to say, in my personal experience over the years (and I almost always speak exclusively to single males) abusive messages have been the exception not the rule. So I do continue to respond with a polite thanks no thanks to anyone who sends me a polite well worded message

Same. I reply to all first messages and can't remember the last abusive message. People usually reply to say thank you for replying.

So weird when women post on here about receiving abuse there's always others who feel the need to comment the fact that they've never had abuse and subtly try and blame the woman posting about.

Great! You've never been sent an abusive message, that's not really related to the original post though is it?

It's almost as if some of you think that certain women deserve abuse because of how they run their profile.

It's difficult to tell what kind of reaction you may get, I would just not respond to people that hold no interest for me. I've learnt the hard way, faq section states no reply is no interest and not considered rude.

The OP does and has had a lot of abuse today for saying sorry no thank you and called rude for doing so.

That's why I was curious as to why a polite no is considered rude. If I'd messaged saying you're an ugly twat and I wouldnt ride you into battle then yes that would be me bein rude.

I'd actually prefer to hear no I'm not interested than just being ignored and deleted but what can you do. Don't understand the reason behind getting pissy over being turned down. Would hope people wouldn't react like that if they got turned down in a bar.

Perhaps it's to show balance. Some women like to shout out about every piddling message they receive. We know some people send twatish messages. we know they shouldn't be allowed to but they do. Deal with it and stop bleating on. Ignore. Block. Report. Depending on severity. It's really not worth making a drama over every little thing.... and I don't get abusive messages because I never reply

Well we both know there's a difference between a "twatish" message and an abusive one.

Some of us recieve abuse on the first message, and some of us receive abuse even though we don't reply.

Congratulations to you though for not getting any, You must be really proud

Ah then I apologise and I agree with your twat/ battle comment. I was referring to the OP where you said you were called rude. You didn't say you got abuse too.

Of course it's not rude to turn any man down that asks for a fuck but men like that have no clue. They think we're free prostitutes here for their benefit. So why feel bad about someone like that calling you rude?

If I send a message, I don’t expect a reply...I hope for one, but there’s no god given right I have to have one, as I’ve invaded your privacy without your permission.

I don’t ever check to see if that message has been read as my thinking is that you’ll get in touch if you are interested.

Even if you don’t get in touch it could be for reasons other than you don’t like me...you could be busy, you could have enough buddies right now, you could be consumed with an upcoming meet.

I would never send another message until I got one off you.

I would just block if I was a woman on here...you get that many messages, it’s not worth the hassle

That's why I was curious as to why a polite no is considered rude. If I'd messaged saying you're an ugly twat and I wouldnt ride you into battle then yes that would be me bein rude.

Ah then I apologise and I agree with your twat/ battle comment. I was referring to the OP where you said you were called rude. You didn't say you got abuse too.

Of course it's not rude to turn any man down that asks for a fuck but men like that have no clue. They think we're free prostitutes here for their benefit. So why feel bad about someone like that calling you rude?

She didn't say she feels bad? She was asking a question

"If they think saying no thanks is rude then they must have a high opinion of themselves. U should of bullet pointed the reasons y u said no...

Ugly

Fanny like a butchers apron

Had bigger tooth picks in my mouth

Etc etc"

Then you are just at the same level as they are. I have no sympathy at all for people that send abuse back like that. It just keeps the cycle going and it's incredibly childish.

"If I send a message, I don’t expect a reply...I hope for one, but there’s no god given right I have to have one, as I’ve invaded your privacy without your permission.

I don’t ever check to see if that message has been read as my thinking is that you’ll get in touch if you are interested.

Even if you don’t get in touch it could be for reasons other than you don’t like me...you could be busy, you could have enough buddies right now, you could be consumed with an upcoming meet.

I would never send another message until I got one off you.

I would just block if I was a woman on here...you get that many messages, it’s not worth the hassle "

I get the occasional random abusive message, as an opener too which is hilarious, like I’m going to reply after that.

I don’t think anyone deserves abuse (regardless of gender) but some women do seem to attract a lot of drama, intentional or not.

Agreed. I think it’s fascina when people tell other people how they are supposed to feel or define as absuive or rude. Just because one person thinks it might be rude rather than abusive does not make that a universal truth. Enough with the undermining other people’s experience, have your opinion but don’t foist it or demand that it is the only possibility. I find it abusive that some do so. Not rude, abusive.

There's a high number of guys here who have limited social skills and worse levels of ability to engage in a sexually captivating style with finesse. They try to bulldoze over a polite decline to their advances, which should never be done by anyone and some of them become abusive.

It is better to block. The worst will probably give up here, If enough of us cold shoulder them.

I think it would be quite good to have a function where a person receiving the rejection can’t message again for a period of time. We don’t like to block people, but could do without all the ‘thank you for replying’ messages. When we politely say no we’d like to know that that is the end of that particular conversation.

Whilst I understand your point of view the women who complain are the ones that appear to reply to every message they receive whether the person meets their criteria or not because they "don't want to appear rude".

Perhaps if they were circumspect in their messaging and block after sending a "thanks no thanks" message they'd have a happier experience...just a thought.

If I feel like the message was well thought out and they have put effort in I always reply, even if it's a no thanks. But I'm starting to become bitter about doing that now as the abuse just isn't worth it

To be quite honest I find it a little bit rude when guys thank us for replying. It makes me feel like our wishes to cease that particular conversation have not been respected, and it does put me off sending a polite rejection.

That would be useful yes. I have a feeling that a no button would avoid abuse - the guy doesn't get ignored, but if he gets a dozen a day the same I think it ceases to become a personal communication warranting a reply and might just be accepted.

I've had 4 of those types of replies. They make me laugh more than anything. I've had a couple of people message me, one from a couple's account, who said I was too big for them anyway. It's their defence mechanism and doesn't bother me at all.

"So weird when women post on here about receiving abuse there's always others who feel the need to comment the fact that they've never had abuse and subtly try and blame the woman posting about.

Great! You've never been sent an abusive message, that's not really related to the original post though is it?

It's almost as if some of you think that certain women deserve abuse because of how they run their profile.

Whilst I understand your point of view the women who complain are the ones that appear to reply to every message they receive whether the person meets their criteria or not because they "don't want to appear rude".

Perhaps if they were circumspect in their messaging and block after sending a "thanks no thanks" message they'd have a happier experience...just a thought.

No I don't reply to all messages

Well thought out ones with a face pic attached i will as it hasn't been the standard "hey" or "you free".

I believe manners cost nothing hence when it is a proper message I will reply if they aren't my taste so they know rather than believe the message has been lost or I'm ignorant "

Hereby proving my point.

I could care less if someone has written a sonnet to rival Shakespeare if his profile doesn't match what I'm looking for, if he can write he can read.

A brief message from someone meeting what I'm looking for always gets a response...Never had abuse/negative response.

It works for me, others may continue to reply to all in order not appear rude, but wear big girl pants and exercise your report button finger as you'll be using it frequently.

"I think just about everyone has wished for a ‘polite no thanks button’ over the years. Hope it happens "

Having been on sites with such a button I can assure you it doesn't work. The entitled bitch and moan about impersonal no thanks messages.

Fab has had a no thanks button in the past and removed it because...people bitched and moaned about impersonal messages.

Recently we've been quite surprised at the number of polite messages we've received back after saying "no thanks". Of course there are the dented ego crew who have to send abuse and then block you. But they forget the report function is still there.

It's definitely not rude to say no. It's just that your answer isn't what they want to hear.

"Since when has someone saying sorry you aren't my type considered rude?

A polite no thanks is all I'd have thought is required yet today all I've had is that I'm rude for saying no thanks.

Would it be preferable to just delete? I thought honesty was best policy? "

It’s not rude at all. Honesty is indeed the best policy. I’d say it’s people not able to handle the rejection from yourself. Maybe have it in their heads that they’ll have you. And can’t hamdle it when they find out they can’t?

I don’t think honesty is the best policy. I absolutely do not need it rubbed in my face that I’m not someone’s type. For me it would be much kinder to subtly ignore me.

That's a good point. Perhaps people have different opinions on what they consider abusive/ an issue.

I often get replies to thank me for replying with a "no thank you" (instead of deleting without reply) but I think they are being nice.

If you apply for a job with certain organisations, it’s made very clear that if you don’t hear back in a certain amount of time then assume you haven’t been shortlisted. I often wonder surely an automated email response would be helpful. To hear that on something as unimportant as a swingers site, that not only is an ignore unacceptable, but an automated rejection message is also unacceptable, is crazy. Seriously! When even automated replies are not expected in the real world, people are wanting personalised rejection messages on Fab. That kind of elevated this site to a higher level of importance than applying for a job.

I always send a thank you for being politely declined. I appreciate the fact they gave taken the time and trouble to respond even if its a no thanks.

Never any need to be rude. Ignore the ignorant and keep on doing it please darlo not enough politeness in the world.

To be quite honest I find it a little bit rude when guys thank us for replying. It makes me feel like our wishes to cease that particular conversation have not been respected, and it does put me off sending a polite rejection.

Mrs "

I must admit I hadn't thought of that...The way I was brought up it was always considered polite that when someone answered a letter or a message to say thank you to that person for answering. I will have to ignore my upbringing and not respond in future.

I was brought up to be polite. My mother was very big on manners. But I’m afraid my mother never taught me that I should say thank you if I was sent a rejection letter. Presumably if that is correct etiquette then I should be sending ‘thank you for replying’ letters every time I am rejected after a job interview?

Well, actually yes...its not only considered good manners it's also good interview technique but that is a different situation.

After due consideration I have decided that if someone feels upset by my politeness then that it is their issue not mine and that I shall continue to be what I consider to be well mannered and say thank you and wish them well for the future. I am not in any way asking to continue something that has been rejected I am merely saying thank you and goodbye, hardly offensive or rude in my opinion albeit the fact it seems be in yours.

True good manners is respecting what other people want, and I’m prepared to be wrong, but I suspect most couples and single ladies in a situation where they are often bombarded with unwanted measages, would have a preference for their polite ‘no thank you’ to signify the end of that particular conversation. Given that most of us were brought up in the ‘70s and ‘80s, prior to email, internet and texting, there probably is no blueprint from that era as to what good manners is in relation to the Internet. So if thanking someone for a reply has now become modern day etiquette, then that is a new thing associated with modern technology. It certainly didn’t happen when we were all growing up, so I would question why is it considered good manners now?

As I said, it’s something I have to live with if we are to continue to send polite rejections. It was quite a surprise though when we joined Fab and found it happening, as I’ve never come across this in any other aspect of my life.

One of my biggest hates is not getting a reply. That's soo rude!!! If a lass replies to say thanks but no thanks I get a warm feeling. She has manners and is polite. So people forget that from a thanks but no thanks you can actually strike up a friendship that doesn't have to involve sex? Hate rudeness and ignorring a message height of rudeness!

I find internet etiquette very difficult. It’s too easy to be rude, but equally it’s too easy to be sucked into endless messaging in the name of politeness. Today I’ve had a signed form scanned and sent back to me electronically upon my email request. I confess that I will do the modern thing and reply to that email and say thank you. Hopeful the recipient won’t feel the need to say ‘your welcome’. In the old days the form I wanted would have been sent by Royal Mail, but I would not have typed or handwritten a thank you note, put in in an envelope with a stamp and mailed it, and I certainly wouldn’t have got a ‘your welcome’ mailed back to me. Another example, the olden days equivalent of Fab were probably contact mags. I bet communications were brief. Because people had to think before they put their letter in an envelope, found a stamp and mailed it, there probably wasn’t the abuse one gets in the Internet. But there probably wasn’t the ping pong messages either. Call me old fashioned, but I feel I’m perfectly capable of being polite to people without this modern day demand for endless replies. I am the only person who feels that a large portion of time is spent clearing unnecessary emails, whether that be work, personal or Fab?
