we had a couple say today no because the Mrs didn't like our Mr.

To us it would have nicer just to say sorry not what we are looking for other than single one of a couple out as seems a bit unfair rude or is it just us been sensitive

I have to like both if I’m meeting a couple but I’d probably say something in general about why I didn’t want to meet.

You are definitely being a tad sensitive, if the Mrs doesn't find your man attractive what's she meant to do? Take one for the team?? I definitely wouldn't let Jane do that.

No your missing the point we just feel there's a more tactful way to reject like just do like we do and say sorry not for us.

What did they expect the response to be hold on I get rid of him and get someone more suitable

To be honest telling the whole of fab that your husband wasn't wanted was harsh

Ultimately I think there needs to be attraction all round, but if there isn't then singling one person out and specifying that they are the reason seems a bit unkind.

Get what you are saying and I personally wouldn't single one person out from a couple.

That said, it's what single men (and women) go through daily on here. Thick skin well and truly required.

They probably hoped that you would agree to meet without him.

I don't think I'm missing the point I understood what you wrote, they where being honest in their reply as to not meeting yous you didn't like that response, simple as that, happens alot of times on fab.

Block them and move on

I don’t think the couple said anything wrong. Very often here if you just say no thanks there’s a flurry of “but why” questions. They were direct not insulting in my opinion and perhaps they have found it’s best to be so. You were offended, that’s also your prerogative. As often said though one needs a thickish skin here.

you are perhaps being a wee bit sensitive by the delivery of the message .

There were other ways of saying thanks but no thanks without it coming in the form it did but perhaps the couple prefer to say outright why they do not wish to meet .

a bit harsh but that's fab for you at times. Ironically we met him on Friday night and he's a charming fellow.

Take it as a compliment that they really liked the female half.

Look for the positive, but yes if not into both no point

Personally we have never had that message yet but in reality we believe some chats have faltered because 1 of us isn't their type and believe both us have been the reason before. You can't be everyone's type so chin up and onwards

Fab really can be a roller coaster sometimes with the highs and lows.

I'd agree with you, there's more tactful ways of saying it. Saying you're not for them is totally fine but singling one person out as the reason is unnecessary.

I'd say "you're not for me thanks", leaving the comment open to interpretation as to which half of the couple, or if neither floated my host.

If they persisted, I'd then rip the plaster and point out which one was a munter.

Just you being sensitive. It seems you want the truth but delivered in a way that doesn't hurt your feelings. Or hurt your partners ego more to the point.

I definitely think you're being over sensitive.

To explain why, I'd say that as a single male (and it's probably the same for females) whe I get a rejection, or if someone doesn't reply, the the other person's reason for that is down to me, whether it's my looks, personality etc. Therefore I'm essentially being singled out in the same way your hubby is, I don't see the issue with this and I think that if you're going to put yourself out there, you need to be ready for the rejection.

Tbh your profile doesn’t give much away in terms of what you’re looking for, you may very well be part of a couple who also play alone and they were putting it out there that you’re most welcome to play with them or the female half of the couple. tad insensitive maybe but hey it’s fab
