Manners doesn’t cost a thing a reply takes a few seconds.

To be tarnished with the same single guy brush on here is becoming tiresome

Another one of these posts?

The FAQs did suggest that no reply means not interested.

Some get inundated with messages such that replying to every single one would take all their time

So sorry, it's the way of Fab

Suck it up buttercup

Happy hunting, there's someone her for you for sure

Let's assume a reply takes 5 seconds, ladies in top fabs get probably 1000 messages that day, that's 83 minutes or 1 hour and 23 minutes of your day wasted just to be 'polite'

I can understand your frustration. The fact is its not going to change. To make your time here less stressful it's best (if you can) to stop expecting a response.

Good luck

So go looking for what you want and not wait to come to you? It just seems as though, because single males are numerous, they are expected to just accept 'sucking it up'. It doesn’t sit comfortably with us.

Not sure what you're saying

We did block single males as that's not what we're looking for.

Other couples might want that and do blocking them may seem hypocritical ...

Sadly for single guys ... because there are so many ... have to just be a little more thick skinned

Lol well when we did open our profile to single guys (aged same as the couples age range we’re looking for) we replied to every message we received. Unfortunately 80% I didn’t really feel any connection or attraction and the they 20% were a waste of time and we gave up. But if we’re honest it’s the same with the couples too so we’ve given up completely with Fab. We now only chat to those we are already chatting to or have met and leave the rest to chatting to people in clubs.

The swirly hole of a female vagina hipnotises men into becoming obsessed with it. They turn into zombies. I read a book about it. That is why women are receiving 100s of messages a day. Pretty scary.

Op, if yiu had even an inkling of how many messages some of my friends get they would do nothing else the whole day except replying...and even then I doubt they'd finish.

More to the point ... you send a no thanks and then some ... not all I grant you before you take offence ... send a whiney "aww why not" and expect a reply to that ... so it's not just a couple of seconds

. If the first part of the message interests me I’ll reply. If it’s the usual vile or boring crap I won’t. I do often block men from messaging if I don’t want to talk to anyone but don’t see why we should have to block them completely.

Can understand not replying to everyone, too much time taken up for most that haven't read a profile about what the woman or couple are looking for.

What I do find rude and a waste of everyone's time is when someone messages you and you message back and they don't reply, even if it's just a no.

Having said that if your expectations are low for a reply it doesn't matter, it's only abit of fun, nothing serious....

No matter how many times it’s repeated, ‘no reply means no thanks’ does not sit well with me.

I was brought up to treat others as I would wish to be treated.

I have to confess that despite having said that, one line messages or very crude messages are sometimes ignored when I just don’t have the time.

No disrespect to those who follow the rules- just my personal choice.

You are not the only one messaging though. If you expect them to reply to You, you must also expect them to message every other person who messages. If i replied to every single message, I'd not get time to enjoy the forums, or talk to those i actually enjoy talking to. Remember why you are messaging. You are messaging in the hopes of seeing if you fancy each other enough for a fuck. So please, don't speak about manners. It's not a Christian dating website.

I was a bit taken aback by the delete without reply rule when I first joined. And I tried to reply to everyone, I did, but I was drowning in mail, it made it worse, and it made my experience quite miserable.

A mentor told me that keeping single women around suits most people here, that people get used to it, and just do the thing that gets you meeting the people you want to. It took me awhile to accept that, but he's right. I'm still here, still meeting, etc. I'm happy. I gather those I meet are happy.

You have a Fabs mentor?

This is now my calling in life.

Yeah, it happens. I'm glad it happened. Saved me so much grief!

Replying to everyone does make it worse. You end up with abuse, people trying to get you to change your mind, unwanted conversations or being accused of being a timewaster by replying and exchanging a couple of polite messages. You can't win.

I find it hard to muster fucks to give about the opinion of people I've never met on the internet.

Agreed, but yet it still bothers some people

A guy who claimed he was part of a couple started messaging me, I told him I was thinking about going to a club that night. He said they were going to the club and hoped to see me. A few hours later, sent another message, asking if I was still going? I said wasn’t sure, but I had a bad feeling about how quickly he was replying and questioning my commitment to meeting them. He then offered to take me but he needed to know then. As it would be a long journey with people I didn’t know I was reticent about his offer.

It ended with him calling me a time waster and a tease, made me feel as if I had led him on.

I never messaged first, or made any promises and was tempted but felt that he creeped me out with his insistence.

I wish I had never replied then and won’t make the same mistake again.

I try to do what gives me least hassle. At this stage, guys can figure it out, or not. The rules are there.

I used to try to respond to everyone, but do have a life outside here so can’t always, and quite frankly some messages don’t deserve a response. A particularly pleasant person decided that as I hadn’t responded to him straight away, I wasn’t polite but an ignorant c**t, then blocked me so I couldn’t repsond. I do believe the irony was lost on him, haha.

Anyway, real life, lack of attraction, amount of messages, abuse, etc does mean that messages may not be responded to, this doesn’t necessarily mean the person is impolite. Don’t let it upset you, don’t worry about it, just accept it and move on. Everyone experiences it. We certainly do. Just have fun with those you do click with xx

Nobody has to reply to anyones request of interaction with them.

The only person you have autonomy over is yourself so if you're frustrated about being ignored then spend less time sending out messages.

"Manners doesn’t cost a thing a reply takes a few seconds.

To be tarnished with the same single guy brush on here is becoming tiresome

Treat us with a bit of respect we’re not all desperate dogs ffs

It's just the Nature of the beast.

IM NOT A PROFILE IM HUMAN BEING.

I'd hate to be a man on here. Ignored or abused. They're not all nasty eejits. Many of the men are nice, they just get fed up and dehumanised. "
