"Hey guys anyone else find it so frustrating and rude when someone replies with a one word response? Unless you ask a yes or no question I find it unbelievable that people think it's okay to do this... I get woman couples ect get 1000s of messages but if you're going to reply to someone give them the respect." Yep A | |||

I don’t expect a response at all or even particularly desire one most of the time. | |||

Surely single guys should be grateful for any reply from couples and women as they aren't even entitled to anything. | |||

"Welcome to the world of fab, I find if you are lucky enough to get a reply normally (yep, fine, thnx) then trying to strike up a conversation is like pulling teeth I think most people are time wasters and there is many rude and arrogant, unfortunately men are right at the bottom of the pecking order so unfortunately suck it up or move on bud " The problem with this is that we always try to reply politely to polite messages even if it’s a polite no thank you. We don’t block lightly but sometimes even the polite no thanks leads to questions and reasons why we are wrong so we are limited our responses after the initial one. | |||

"Hey guys anyone else find it so frustrating and rude when someone replies with a one word response? " No, it’s not frustrating or rude. - If it’s just no, thanks - it’s a very polite and generous gesture. Thanks to you all who is doing it. - if it’s one two words reply to a meaningful message apart from the case above - I treat that as not sure about interest or can’t be arsed to put some effort. In both cases I don’t reply back, I don’t ask clarification, or i don’t say thanks to no thanks. I delete conversations from in and out box and move on. I don’t have time to waste on these who aren’t interested for whatever reason. | |||

I suppose this response is better than any, but what really passes us of is if they are the ones to msg first with a fairly ok msg amd then continue the conversation with one word replies, very difficult to read that their intentions. | |||

"How many words would make it an acceptable response? If they can't be arsed to use more than 1 word they're not interested. " Or not intelligent enough, which is usually the case. | |||

"Wish we had automated responses for declining messages from people. " I think this is double edged sword. I imagine receiving dozens of “no thank you” automated responses could cause more harm to one’s fragile ego than just accepting that no response is a response in itself (as stated clearly on website FAQs). Just my opinion, though. | |||

Accompanied by a picture of their cock.. I replied "No" I feel that is an acceptable reply, they asked a question..I answered it. | |||

"Everyone knows the no reply is a reply mantra by now but what about those who initiate the conversation and then expect the other person to carry the load? I don't send messages but a lot of the messages I receive from well verified women and couples just say hi, facepic, number. Some are slightly more detailed but as soon as I respond they revert to one word messages. Why bother getting in touch in the first place if you don't have the ability to carry a conversation?

"Well it really depends on context doesn't it. What you may think is a decent first message may not be someone else's idea of a decent message. For example.. If you get 100 messages a day and every message says "hi want to meet" (or something to that effect) then are you going to send an individual reply to each person when they haven't had the courtesy or respect to read your profile?.. My absolute hate on this site is people don't read your profile. They're messaging to ask you for something you aren't looking for. I understand from a guys perspective, a lot of my friends are males and I understand and respect how hard it is for guys on fab and at clubs etc. So I get that to even receive a reply some guys have to send 100 messages. So guys often resort to cut and paste or a terrible message. But at the same time if they sent less messages but made more of an effort most would find they get more meets. Tailor a message to each person, yes it takes more effort but for me if someone can't be bothered to read my profile and try connect with me I'm not replying. How much effort are they going to make sexually if you can't send a decent message? You then have the abuse or questioning. "why won't you meet me", "am I not your type" tbh I don't have time to deal with it. I hate the hierarchy of women and couples on fab and I don't agree with it. I do make an effort with guys, when I attend clubs I will try talk to everyone (single guys included). There are so many disrespectful guys though on the swinging scene and unfortunately all men get lumped into that. So the only advice I can give is it takes everyone to make a change. It really is a viscous cycle. If men made more of an effort then women and couples would be more receptive which in turn would make guys more respectful. But people are unfortunately dicks and think they can say whatever they want over the Internet. One of my reasons for losing faith in mankind tbh. But... Hopefully you'll have more luck in the future. " This is a more reasoned, fair and intelligent response I'd say. | |||

"Wish we had automated responses for declining messages from people." I was once a member of another site, I'm not sure it exists anymore. They had the automated message response. It changed very little, still received messages asking why, it trying to change it minds. The forum was littered with posts regarding these automated responses and how rude they were, etc etc. | |||

If someone messages me, and it's clear they didn't read my profile, they'll get 1 word replies until they get the hint. Far better for me than when I reject and I get abuse for it | |||

Delete your outbox and don't worry about whether it's read without response or deleted. People maintain their inboxes in different ways and checking the outbox to see if its read or deleted seems desperately unhealthy. | |||

Some of the ladies and couples are getting a huge number of messages a day, especially if they put up pics or a meet request. It can just get overwhelming going through them, so people just don't read or read and leave and then do a bulk delete when time. Some people need a full-time Fabmin assistant. Wouldn't take it personally and see it as rude. | |||

"No one’s entitled to anything on here. If you’re offended and find stuff rude by the way people act on here (which many don’t see as real life) then probs best to use a different site. I’d never ignore someone who purposely said hi to me in a club or real life, I delete 100s of messages daily without a second thought on here. Guys read way too much into fab IMO it’s not that serious… " This!! We get ignored by women, other couples and even GASP single guys, but we don't cry about it! | |||

"If they aren’t interested why are they replying in the first place? " Because if we don't reply we are rude, if we do reply we get abuse or this kinda shit. Okay I'll reply to the 130 messages I got yesterday all with no thanks. I haven't got that amount of free time. I don't owe anyone anything | |||

"Hey is another one that annoys me.if you can't be arsed to make an effort with your messages don't expect any replies " We get several of these a day. 'Hey' or just 'Hi'. We delete these immediately without response. We've had one that just sent '?' and one that just said 'postcode?' I get that single guys send a large amount of messages without response and therefore they stop putting any effort in. This just ensures that they will continue to get no replies. We're not looking for war and peace and a well crafted cut and paste is fine if it shows that they can spell and have a basic grasp of grammar and can show a bit of personality. | |||
