"I agree that your probably getting inundated because your fairly new. The block button is a good friend as unfortunately some people don't take rejection very well" Hopefully it will calm down then. I'll give it a little more time. I've tried the block button but people appear to sign up again or have multiple profiles and hurl abuse. I'm not rude in my replies, I just simply send "No thank you". Could it be because I'm not being specific on why they aren't for me? I also get a lot of messages of abuse because I haven't read their messages but when I check down the list I cannot see they have sent one. | |||

"I just simply send "No thank you". Could it be because I'm not being specific on why they aren't for me?" Don't even say no thank you. They can get round filters in the future if you respond. Just delete. People are not entitled to anything on here. Don't give them a reason to engage you if you're not interested. | |||

"If you see a reply to your no thanks or anybody whose message you've deleted, don't open it, just delete it. Have you got any filters on? " Yeah I have all the filters on. Thank you all for your advice. I may have been a little too nice then as I've sent hundreds of no thank you messages and fear I've just made it worse as it clear it bypasses filters. I'll just have to block from now on when I'm not interested and if they come back block again. | |||

"Thank you so much for your reply. Maybe a little time out from looking in the inbox is the way to go for a few days. But this will no doubt be unmanageable when I go back to look to see if anyone catches my eye to want to take things further. So I guess I'd have to delete all but this will doubt offend people to abuse me. I don't really want to turn off messaging for all as I could potentially be missing out on someone that I want to pursue further with. Such a dilemma. I guess it's a case "shut up and put up with it" and ignore them. Although this hard at times as some messages are very hurtful and can be very intimidating and scary. I must add this is not isolated to male profiles but couples also. And even verified ones as I have filters set. " you're welcome, i only look for men, so this is why i mentioned blocking all men. i am often chatting to enough guys already to block everyone and that's why that works for me, i've left the block on for months at one point because i was so disillusioned with men and my inbox was adding to that. but i get you don't want to and that's fine, was just a suggestion. like _ady lick says with you being new on here this tends to attract a lot more attention overall, mainly from the more predatory type of men who think you're naive about fab or maybe desperate for sex, and also a lot more abusive messages too is likely from this type of guy. hope you don't leave. you could request guys approach you as a person? i do on my profile. | |||

"Sometimes i am embarrassed to be a single guy on here. I cannot understand the gross mentality of guys that think they are entitled to have anyone they want. Please understand there are some nice guys on here, of which i hope i am one. keep your chin up, you will find some good ones soon. " Fully concur with this. Some great genuine guys around. Sadly many, many more total knobheads. Can only offer you my sympathies....I'm too old and too far to be of interest to you....but if you persevere you will find some decent ones. Avoid the profiles that seem too full of themselves...and those that don't accommodate would be best advice I could give. | |||

"Thank you all for your continued advice. I'm determined to try and make this work so will just ignore the inbox for a while and when I do return to reading messages just block when I'm not interested in taking things further. I did like the comment of replying with "I love you" to the abusers. But will resist in giving them any opportunity to continue." BTW you look super hot and nice profile, plenty of genuine guys would like to meet you I'm sure. | |||

"I hardly get any abusive messages if I do I have a bit of fun with them until they give up and block me! If mean guys are being horrible to you op tell them to message old fag, I'll sort them out. " Congrats on your page one pic, well deserved. | |||

"I don't really want to turn off messaging for all as I could potentially be missing out on someone that I want to pursue further with." On my single fem profile I used block communications with men periodically, to have a chance to process/delete/have a decent convo with someone I liked. Sure you may miss out, it's the luck of the draw, but then everything is a gamble anyway- for me it's more important to keep to capacity. Apart from the newness of the account (maybe hide for a couple of weeks for the feeds to quiet down?) I wonder if your age may be attracting the more predatory men about. There are loads of decent exciting people here so pour your attentions on those instead. By the way I recognise your middle pic, the wet torso! I remember you were having similar problems last time round. I hope you find your sweet spot soon. | |||

"Not sure if I'm doing things right on here. I receive quite a fair amount of messages (with filters on) if I reply "no thank you" 9/10 times I get abuse or questioned. If I don't reply & delete as per the sites FAQ I get abuse calling me the most hateful things. I've had a few guys I've blocked create new profile and act like either it's the first time I've heard from them or they hurl abuse at me again from this new profile. Couples are messaging me and it turns out the female is "not available" all of a sudden only the male. I've reported so many profiles and messages and don't have the time to report them all for things that go against the sites rules like offering me money, drugs etc I really wanted to just have some fun and finding it very difficult and very scary at times. And the things people write when being abusive is horrible Is there any other women on here who can offer me some advice on how they handle things as I really don't want to leave the site. I've tried making initial contact and not sure if it's a case of egos that a women has made first contact but all have turned out to be vile from the messages I get back. Surely I cannot be the only one that's experiencing this. " Sorry to hear you've been having issues. Don't let them win. I would happily take a "I wish you all the best but I don't feel we are suited" comment. There are some sad folk on here if they keep pestering and hurling abuse. I hope things improve. | |||

"Just a suggestion, we use the notes feature a lot and record details of why we said no or message content they've sent. So if they make contact again we remind them why it's still a no. Usually they block us when we do this which is perfect as we don't block anyone anymore as we've also experienced the other profile or signing back up trick." Great idea. Will do this also. Thank you | |||

""And I will have to do the searching and initial messaging from now on. Will also update my profile later today." You say this like it is a bad thing. I always recommend this to nee ladies. Treat it as a shopping trip and you are only looking at items you fancy...not spam that hits your inbox. Wink the guys you like and they will be able to message you. Then sit back, and see if any are interested in you too. Voila, you are now enjoying your Fab experience. " Didn't mean to sound like it was a bad thing. I realise it's the best way forward. Just more time consuming but can see the benefits in it so will be definitely doing it. Winking is a great suggestion so will do this also. Thank you | |||

Thank you" It may appear more time consuming, but actually doing the looking yourself takes a few minutes. Trying to sift through 100's of messages will take much longer and you will only get a choice of who wants you, not who you want. | |||
