"I used to reply. Then they would reply. Sometimes asking why, sometimes being abusive. So now I don't. My profile clearly states a no reply is a no thanks. At the end of the day the result is the same, I don't want to converse or meet with them. " | |||

"OP. Why have you not replied to these people ? Very rude ! Sometimes ladies get far too many messages that they cannot keep up with them. It takes a while to reply to everyone and then men start asking why not and get abusive . So if people don't reply, it means that they are not interested. " Exactly. It’s in the Fab FAQs | |||

"you know ppl, its just as easy and more polite to reply with "sorry your not my type" rather than just ignore it, then wonder why ppl get persistent and moan about it tip of the day "just reply" and majority of the time they will leave you alone. trust me, ppl are alot easier to understand that, rather than just being ignored!! have a think before you do it next time " tip of the day.... I will carry on ignoring rather than get a message full of abuse about how I think I'm too good for this site.... if you don't like it don't send messages | |||

The following is from fab FAQs There are too many rude people on here who don't reply to my messages! It's not rude not to reply. Some ladies and couples get hundreds of messages a day so it simply isn't possible for them to reply to everyone. If you don't get a response, you should assume they aren't interested. If you're getting a lot of "no-replies" then you should consider your profile and the messages you send. Are they giving the right message? Are you standing out from the thousands of other guys on here? | |||

So thanks for your little pearls of wisdom, but I'll carry on ignoring these ppl you speak of, and avoid the barrage of abuse that comes with trying to explain why they're not my type | |||

"If everybody did actually reply, you'd probably get fed up sorting through them all. There would be thousands right?" True, considering most people that message have even read our profile why would we reply to them as well. | |||

Pointless That's what the block button is for" I personally find the block button rude and guys would hate being blocked after a polite message. Also, I might converse with these people in the future, for example off the forums so I don’t want to block everyone I’m not attracted to. I save my block button for those that truly disgust me. | |||

"8/10 if I’m not interested I just ignore the message. It’s not rude to ignore a message. Do you reply to all your junk mail? " I can kind of see both sides. Women must get so much mail, that to reply to it all, even with a quick ‘no thanks’, would be a neverending task. But to be fair, it’s not quite the same as replying to junk mail. Junk mail is unsolicited. But women on here are kind of saying ‘I’m potentially interested in meeting guys. If you like what you see, send me a message’. I suppose to a degree it depends on how inviting a profile is, and how decent the message is. Although even then, maybe not if volume of messages just trumps everything else. | |||

At the end of the day the result is the same, I don't want to converse or meet with them. " No reply meaning no thanks is fair enough I think. But it’s difficult from the guy side to know if a no reply is a no thanks, or if the message just wasn’t seen, because Fab only displays the first X messages, so messages can fall off the bottom and remain unseen quite easily if women are getting a lot. At least, that’s my understanding. | |||
