Any tips on how to deal with being rejected by literally every single woman I've messaged? Disclaimer: this is not a rant but a genuine question it gets a bit soul destroying is all.

You’ve not been rejected. You’re just not what they’re looking for at this time.

You've only been here 3 weeks. What exactly were your intentions when you joined the site. What did you think was going to happen? There's 100s of guys for every 1 woman on here. You just need to stand out from the crowd

3 weeks is as long time when you get absolutely nothing from people on here it's not like there's a few here and there in between it's been everyone. How can you stand out

Well I knew it wasn't going to be easy but I didn't expect literally every woman I've messaged to turn me down either. It's fine for women they never get rejected because they don't have to chase anyone so they don't understand.

This is a Swingers site, not a dating app. There are better apps for quick meets. If you want to succeed, get to swingers clubs and events near you. Where people actually get to meet the person behind the profile.

Women do get turned down.

Has every woman you've messaged said no thanks? If they've simply not replied you haven't been rejected.

You've only been here three weeks, I suspect you'll need to reassess your expectations.

You've not asked for profile advice so we can't offer any.

Compare your profile and pictures to some of the guys who get a lot of meets. What's the difference?

I'd suggest you do a bit of homework and see how you can stand out among your competition.

If you’re a decent human being who understands that women get a ton of messages on here, and it might take you a while to click with someone, you don’t develop an attitude.

You only develop an attitude if you’re throwing your toys out the pram, because the women you fancy, don’t fancy you.

There is no need to develop an attitude over not getting sex on a swingers site, there are plenty of other sites. An entitled attitude is never attractive.

There is no magic pill, effort in and you’ll eventually get results.

It’s incredibly off putting when guys moan about not getting meets especially when people attempt to give advice and you basically say you don’t see the point.

It's been 3 weeks. You've developed a dreadful attitude towards the people youve asked for help.

If you're getting the same advice of everyone, perhaps they're not the ones out of step.

There's another thread running where someone else has asked a similar questions.

His responses to the advice he's received are markedly different to yours.

You seem to have a ridiculous sense of entitlement.

You'll sink without a trace unless you lose the attitude and entitlement.

Ok OP. As many have said. 3 weeks is nothing on fab.

Your age also goes against you as alot look for older guys. Not everyone... But alot do and frankly the attitude that are giving with your replies to other people is why people go for older guys.. they tend to say thanks anyway and move on.

Also your replies on here other people will be looking at and they will probably give you a wide birth too.

I'm sorry to say but your a tiny fish in a massive pond..

And your not helping yourself by your answers.

That is the big question and the guys who find out the answer are the ones getting the meets, while the others get more and more bitter. The site owes no one anything. It doesn't guarantee meets and certainly not after just 3 weeks.

Rejection is (arguably) one of the worst human experiences imaginable.

The pain associated with it likely stems back to hunter-gather times. During these times, rejection literally equaled death.

If you study the brain, much of the same neural pathways activated during physical pain are activated after experiencing rejection.

With all that said...

It's something you have to truly accept.

Most people don't experience an overwhelming amount of rejection - either because they are a moderately attractive woman, or they don't put themselves out there.

You are a male, and you are putting yourself out there. You will therefore experience a lot of rejection. Understanding that this is reality will really help you.

I understand why you have an attitude. I've gone through periods of nihilism and anger due to social rejections - but I think with age and experience I've slowly gotten over it.

Guys that don't learn to deal with this find themselves falling deeper and deeper into a hole. This can lead to suicide, self-destructive behaviours, or mass shootings.

Take a break from this site. Get some Ice-cream. And once you're feeling better, come back with a new outlook. Don't have any expectations. Work on making your profile the best it can be. Send a few well thought out messages with a face pic. And try learn from any mistakes you make along the way.

And although this is a sex/swingers site - it doesn't really guarantee anything.

In reality, Tinder is your best bet for online dating (I'm only here because I'm horny all the time and find this place interesting).

Good luck!

"Simply move on.

You’ve only been here 3 weeks. Many guys have been here months before they get their first meet.

Women not wanting to meet you on here is not the be all and end all.

I wouldn't mind if every now and then someone was interested but absolutely nobody I mean come on

Try elsewhere then?

What do you want these women to do? Give you a pity fuck?

They’re not interested that’s their right.

Yeah whatever

This is the attitude I mean, you asked for help then just have smarmy replies for people.

And then he wonders why, he isn’t having the same success as others.

How are you not meant to develop an attitude when you get the

same crap off of everyone?

That is the big question and the guys who find out the answer are the ones getting the meets, while the others get more and more bitter. The site owes no one anything. It doesn't guarantee meets and certainly not after just 3 weeks."

Absolutely.

Getting an attitude over sex isn’t the way to go about things.

Moving on and understanding that not everyone is going to want to meet you, is.

"Rejection is (arguably) one of the worst human experiences imaginable.

The pain associated with it likely stems back to hunter-gather times. During these times, rejection literally equaled death.

If you study the brain, much of the same neural pathways activated during physical pain are activated after experiencing rejection.

With all that said...

It's something you have to truly accept.

Most people don't experience an overwhelming amount of rejection - either because they are a moderately attractive woman, or they don't put themselves out there.

You are a male, and you are putting yourself out there. You will therefore experience a lot of rejection. Understanding that this is reality will really help you.

"You've only been here 3 weeks. What exactly were your intentions when you joined the site. What did you think was going to happen? There's 100s of guys for every 1 woman on here. You just need to stand out from the crowd

3 weeks is as long time when you get absolutely nothing from people on here it's not like there's a few here and there in between it's been everyone. How can you stand out

What exactly were your expectations?

Well I knew it wasn't going to be easy but I didn't expect literally every woman I've messaged to turn me down either. It's fine for women they never get rejected because they don't have to chase anyone so they don't understand."

Of course women get turned down. I’ve been turned down (politely) at club nights before because they simply didn’t fancy me, which is totally fine, but if you think someone ignoring your message is soul destroying imagine being told no to your face

Maybe step away from your phone and go out and get to know people at some socials, there are specific ones for non verified people too.

Put yourself out there physically, you’re a cute, good looking guy, and you may be more successful.

You do know that's rubbish right?! Not everyone you fancy is gonna fancy you back, regardless of whether you are male or female. Plus, there are alot of women on here that don't respond to mail and do their own searching. Not getting a reply could be for a multitude of reasons, other than, they just don't fancy you, ya know?!

Expect to get nowhere. Send the odd message to someone you like and expect no reply. One day you'll be suprised, get a response and maybe get somewhere. But this site is not Tinder, and listen to the advice you are being given.

If you were in a room with 10 women who you didn't know , and 1000 other men who,in the main, are just trying to get in their pants, how many would you expect just to fuck you. Well, none. So don't expect anything different here.

Forget Fabs as a place to get meets as a single man. Get to clubs on a regular basis, get to know people in real life and use fab to keep in touch.

I think you’ve been given an unnecessarily rough ride and pack mentality is forming here. When you bite back, it’s you that’s got the attitude. That’s the Fab forum for you.

I was rejected on here because I’m 25, the guy was 22 years older than me and had a daughter older than me, so didn’t want to meet anyone younger.

Your pictures don’t show much to be honest, although they aren’t the worst.

Your “about me” isn’t bad, however you haven’t mentioned what you like sexually for example, for me personally I like to read that on someone’s profile. Others don’t.

Other than that, be patient, give it time.

Just a bit or perspective here we have been on fab for 3 years. We have had 4 meets in that time. We send messages to people that get ignored, we get messages from people that are not for us. If some1 has clearly taken the time to read out profile but is not for us then i will reply to say that they arent what we are.looking for. If they havent bothered to read it i ignore them.

As a single male you will have a much tougher time then couples and and an even tougher time then single ladies.

If you are determined that you want to be a swinger go to socials or to clubs and meet people. If not try pof or tinder

You definitely wont be getting a meet from any women who see this thread. Think you need to go do some growing up and come back when you realise women are not on here to throw themselves at you after 3 weeks. Male half of us was on here as a single in the past and was near 6 months and 4 social meets before he had a meet where some play invlolved.

In my admittedly limited experience of Fab I try to treat it as if I was in the supermarket, which sounds a dreadful analogy but bear with me...

If Tesco is full of attractive people, I would not expect everyone to fancy me or in fact even want to talk to me!

Neither would I walk up to someone as say “fancy a fuck I’ll meet u now”. Doesn’t work IRL, and of course the internet IS real life! Real people with emotions and their own minds to make up based on how I talk to them!

Yes, we may all be here because of a shared interest but being friendly and interested in people and hopefully interesting seems to be the way to go!

And I send plenty of messages which don’t get read or replied to OP! Don’t let it stress you out! It’s not personal, how can it be, they don’t know you! Good luck.

if you've got a partner that's on here then why do you want a singles profile? Just have a couples profile and everybody wins. Tbh is sounds like you believe that because she is successful then you should be too. As the man in our relationship, I'd never come on here with expectations of anything happening after 3 weeks. Think you need to re-assess what you want from here. Is it jealousy of your partner or do you actually want to have solo meets? Lots say it and I detest the saying intensely but this place isn't "instashag".

If you have a gf lack of sex isn't the issue.

Just go with the flow, work on your profile, pics, update your status regularly so you appear on local updates. Get her to veri you perhaps, then at least people will know you're real.

Firstly I would get your partner to write you a verification.

Secondly provide a link to your profile from you and partners joint profile (if you have one) and one on yours to the joint one.

Thirdly attend a few clubs and ask people you get one with for a verification even if you just socialise with them.

You also might have more luck if you open up to meeting couples as well as single females.

Try and get yourself to a club or social event local to you. Or perhaps try the chat room on here to get yourself verified via cam. Ladies on here do often get bombarded with mail so try not to take rejection or no replies to heart. Polite, respectful and friendly guys do tend to do well on here. It can take time though x

I have been on the site almost 2 years and I have also messaged ladies and couples without much success.The last 18 months I have attended socials and been fortunate enough to have my application to be a member of a club accepted so the only thing I can advised is what others have already said which is clubs and social get some verification showing what a good guy you are then perhaps things will improve for you.3 weeks is none thing on Fabs it takes time.

"Believe it or not OP, even single females and couples get rejected. It's part of life, not just Fab. One has to develop broad shoulders and move on to the next message.

Have you tried going on Cam to get verified, that might help your predicament xx

My partner hasn't been rejected by 1 person on this site since she joined at the same time as me it doesn't happen to women it's a fact of life.

How does that work?

Firstly I would get your partner to write you a verification.

Secondly provide a link to your profile from you and partners joint profile (if you have one) and one on yours to the joint one.

Thirdly attend a few clubs and ask people you get one with for a verification even if you just socialise with them.

You also might have more luck if you open up to meeting couples as well as single females."

Thank you for the help it's much appreciated.

I posted this on a post that was similar so I copy and pasted it over here.. I was trying to help the poor guy out with this suggestion.

Catch their eye somehow, with something funny or read profiles and find a connection. That has worked wonders for me. All you need is a foot in that door and off you go. Keep positive.

You just have to keep trying is all...

How does that work? if you've got a partner that's on here then why do you want a singles profile? Just have a couples profile and everybody wins. Tbh is sounds like you believe that because she is successful then you should be too. As the man in our relationship, I'd never come on here with expectations of anything happening after 3 weeks. Think you need to re-assess what you want from here. Is it jealousy of your partner or do you actually want to have solo meets? Lots say it and I detest the saying intensely but this place isn't "instashag". "

Yeah I’m a bit confused on this point as well... if it’s a different room swap scenario you are looking for then maybe try a couples profile saying that?

"You've only been here 3 weeks. What exactly were your intentions when you joined the site. What did you think was going to happen? There's 100s of guys for every 1 woman on here. You just need to stand out from the crowd

3 weeks is as long time when you get absolutely nothing from people on here it's not like there's a few here and there in between it's been everyone. How can you stand out

What exactly were your expectations?

Well I knew it wasn't going to be easy but I didn't expect literally every woman I've messaged to turn me down either. It's fine for women they never get rejected because they don't have to chase anyone so they don't understand.

This is a Swingers site, not a dating app. There are better apps for quick meets. If you want to succeed, get to swingers clubs and events near you. Where people actually get to meet the person behind the profile. "

^exactly this! Perfect answer

You need a thick skin or you start getting a complex

It’s such a shame that people judge a book by its cover rather than find out what’s between the pages can be fantastic

Ladies moan about rude men on here it seems to work both ways to me

Read between the pages .... if there is no spark or attraction you are not going to get anyone wanting to read between the pages and if ppl really wanted that they would make an effort and join social events and chat to swingers only way to get read between the pages here x

My advice would be to take it with grace and try your best not to let it get you down.

You'd be a bit of a twat if you thought you were so irresistible that nobody will reject you. Everyone gets rejected.

You don't need to know and have no right to know why, but if someone is kind enough to explain, then you owe it to them to take it gracefully.

It's best not to dwell on it too much, if you are, it helps to take breaks, or put your emotional Shield Wall back up. Collect your thoughts for a bit.

Fab is a very Hard-core kind of place for that kind of thing. It's often done mercilessly, prematurely and what sometimes feels like unfairly. People will judge you for all sorts of things and hold you to super high standards. If you're delicate, sensitive or struggling in any way. Fab sometimes isn't the best place to be.

Firing back in anger, or pain won't make you feel any better. By not blowing up the bridge you allow for the faintest chance someone may decide to cross back over one day.

Times and people change and Fab isn't Reality.

I think it's really important for single guys to assume that it will be very hard to meet people here and that they'll often not be able to second guess how well they'll meet others tastes here. This will be coupled with the fact that you may only be part of what people want - they may like couples, women, trans etc and will have thousands to choose from. From there it probably means less disappointment, when most contact results in no meet.

The concept of you being able to condense the delights of meeting in person, where you have eye contact, smiles, flirting and 3 dimensional chemistry, instead via a message and a profile, is never going to compete. You just have to optimize things in your favour.

My advice op is to depersonalise things, so that you only view a dead end as reflecting on the others and not you. And not to use fab when your esteem is low - conversely, do whatever you can to increase your self-esteem and confidence and definitely with people who you are attracted to.

Find friends here who are good for you - people who will be there for you and believe in you, so that you have good positive connections to fab, to balance any negative ones. You'd perhaps message or phone someone like me, get stuff off your chest, have a laugh, possibly a drink somewhere - all to make fab an experience that's bigger than you just getting knocked back. Obviously the forum is somewhere for inanity, chatting about whatever etc, so is a good place to hangout.

Ensure that fab is used to supplement your life, without too great a reliance on it. Experiment, trying new things and approaches, improving upon what works better than other ways.

If it's too much, take a break at any point. Good luck!

There and to the left a bit

Honest advice OP? Which is the advice I'd give to anyone who says they're having a negative experience of the site - there are several things that are key, none of them will guarantee a thing in terms of meets, but it will improve your experience of the site, and may help you understand it better:

Attitude - you need to get this right, be positive, accept that you're but one of many fish all chasing the same thing, and that most of the time you will get rejected. Taking a negative attitude, as you have done at times on this thread, will just breed negativity and see you getting rejected.

Approach - again need to get it right, work out what works best for you - if blindly "cold messaging" people isn't working, consider clubs or socials, or getting more involved in the forums, all of which are a good way to get yourself known and to get to know other people. Or take a look at the messages you send and ask yourself honestly if you'd reply to them, or even show them to your girlfriend and ask her honest opinion.

Expectations - set them to the lowest possible setting, and then turn them down a notch further - contrary to the belief of some, the streets of Fab are not paved with sex, it takes time and effort to find people you're matched with and that may want to meet you - most people, especially men, don't sign up and get meets straight away, it takes time to firstly understand the site and how it works, and then to establish yourself.

Profile - make it the best it can possibly be to stand out from the crowd, inject some personality into it and make it clear what you are looking for and more importantly what you think you can offer a prospective meet. Your profile is your shop window - ask yourself would you shop at your shop or pass it by? Having looked at yours, I've seen worse, but it's fairly generic and reads more like a dating ad than anything.

Pictures - get yourself a decent set of pics that show off your body, learn to use the timer function on your phone and the editing software that comes with it, and get creative. If you're stuck for ideas, don't be scared of looking at other well verified guys pics for inspiration.

I'll be honest and say your age *will* go against you with a lot of people, but that shouldn't be seem to get you down, there *are* people that look for guys your age, you just need to look a little harder to find them.

It is tough to take rejection, particularly if you see it as rejection, rather than you're not meeting someone's criteria, which is often all it comes down to but if you start to look at things positively, they seem more positive.

A lot of people lose sight of all the normal rules of engagement about meeting people on here - when really it is no different from every day life, some people you get on with but wouldn't want to have sex with, some people you don't get on with at all, and then there is that minority of people that you actually fancy and would want to take things beyond just "getting on with them" and it's no different here, only a small minority will interest you, and the same goes for them being interested in you.

I'd also ask if your girlfriend has actually had meets from the site, as that is bound to affect you if she is, and you're not, even though it *is* the way Fab may appear to work, and there really shouldn't be any comparisons between her level of interest and yours - if she is and *that* is what is really getting you down, maybe you and her need to have a discussion about whether this is the best place for you and your relationship, or whether you should consider quitting the single profiles and just having a couple's profile from which you meet together as a couple.

Read and digest all of that, and like I said it won't guarantee a thing, but it will make your experience of the site so much better.

OP you might never get a reply to any message you send. I mix with a couple of swinger groups which include single guys and they say the same thing about messages but they are sucessful in the group and at clubs. Truth is that sending messages is not an efficient use of your time but meeting people at socials is even if you have to travel 50 miles to go to one.

There’s nothing wrong with your profile that I can see. You’re a very young looking 24 though, and that will be a problem for some. Get your girlfriend to take a pic of you smiling and having fun , also get her to verify you. Mention the relationship in the profile and maybe even link to her . As others have said, go to socials , with the intent of making friends. Try taking part in the forums and chat perhaps.

Not saying you’re doing it , but guy friends who complain about no success, are usually batting out of their league.

Good luck ps Women absolutely get turned down.

Joining the site and expecting to immediately find someone to sleep with is like joining Facebook to make new friends.

Get out there to the clubs and just use the site to keep in touch with people you meet.

We're a couple and get turned lots too. It's not just you / single blokes. Being an adult you have to learn rejection is part of life. I just see it as there loss, block them and move on.

We find a lot of single fems want a realtionship. Not all but lots. So won't meet unless you tick all the 'relationship" boxes. Strange as this is a swinging site. Just keep chipping away, your get there.

I've been putting the effort but it gets you nowhere

Whatever effort you've put in, you've now ruined it by your attitude towards people on this thread. Put your toys back in your pram and lose the entitled attitude. Not doing yourself any favours here. Get yourself off to a club or socials like someone suggested earlier. Start networking. Good luck.

And as I also stated earlier there are like literally none in Hampshire so that's not really possible any time soon

Maybe start your own group socials then. There's Liberations in Portsmouth, don't know how close that is to Alton? Or London clubs if closer. Effort in means rewards out.

Portsmouth is about 25 minutes drive from the OPS home.

London is 40 minutes on the train."

Surely a way of cutting down on rejection is by reading profiles and only messaging people that you fit what they are looking for. If people read and took note of profiles, ladies would get quarter of the mail they do at the moment, so maybe would be more inclined to answer them.

Isn't this the second whinging thread you have done in two days? You're on the wrong site, plain and simple, you have people here being nice and giving advice and you're still sulking about it. You honestly shouldnt be on this if your skin is that thin. Also, what were you expecting? Don't know if have answered that yet, go on tinder and start swiping, or if you're gonna stay here best make a new profile because this shite has done you no favours whatsoever

"Any tips on how to deal with being rejected by literally every single woman I've messaged? Disclaimer: this is not a rant but a genuine question it gets a bit soul destroying is all."

Take a break/improve your profile or you could just give up if its getting to you. People have a choice who they interact with if its a problem then maybe here is not for you.

...this is exactly the reason why i dont play with "youth"...attitude..cant deal with rejection....imature ...expect us to serve ourselves up on a silver platter...turn offensive...and to be honest..you cant beat experienced, respectful mature (over 30) guys....mmm.. maybe try POF...or maybe you already have and had no luck on there either ..wonder why??

I don’t think you can generalise all under 30s based on a few.

Many of us are respectful & mature, just as there are many over 30s who aren’t respectful and are immature, I’ve come across lots!

It all depends on the individual.

wow thanks for that and as stated before when you message 30 or more people and nobody will let you get past the intro how else would you react? like I said women don't get rejected because they're the ones who sit back and let the men pick them so to be honest you have no idea what it's like so you don't understand.

As several ladies and couples have already told you, they do get turned down.

Not getting a reply isn't the same as being rejected.

You're looking outwardly and apportioning responsibility for your lack of success on others.

Maybe try looking inwardly?

Your responses show a lack of maturity.

You've asked for advice and like many others completely ignore it and attack it.

If you don't want advice, don't ask for it.

And as explained by others we do get rejected. Not quite sure where you are getting your info from that we sit back and let the men come to us.. because I assure you that's not true.

Yes we get men running to us that want to empty their balls and dont care who or what into.. but to find a decent guy that is after the same as the Individual lady it's us that has to do the hard work.

You say women don't understand what it's like for a guy that gets rejected/blanked etc..... well You don't understand what it's like for a woman being bombarded by messages and most of them are not very pleasant at all.

The best thing you can do is take the advice that's been given to you and stop biting back at people that are actually trying to help.

The only thing your doing at the moment is telling people how Wrong they are.. when actually alot of then are right.

Can I respectfully suggest that if you've messaged "30 or more people" in your three weeks here that you're providing an indication that you're not particularly fussy and are just blanket bombing any one within a certain radius in the hope of getting a response, and I suspect that the messages you send may be the problem?

I'll also politely refer you to my post further up which provided some guidance as to how to improve your experience here - go read it, digest it and act on it

As others have said rather than displaying an argumentative "I know better" attitude, you might find you have a better experience of the site if you took on board some of the very good advice given and adopted a more positive outlook.

To reiterate, 3 weeks is no time at all, although it my seem that it's an age for you

You say you've looked into socials within the 3 weeks you've been here... some socials only happen once/twice yearly. This is what people mean by you need to have patience and time or YOU are the one setting yourself up for a ballache and creating stress for yourself that needn't be there.

I'll be honest, the attitude you're displaying is snappy and defeatest. You say you have a girlfriend, was she the first girl you passed in the street in your life, or even the 30th? I highly doubt it, yet you seem to think the 30 women you've messaged who've not replied owe you something, yet I'm sure you've walked past people in the street before now, even some who've spoken to you, and you've put your head down and carried on walking. The AA salesman perhaps? You don't mean to be rude, but you're busy/running late/simply cant be arsed or just maybe you feel a little uncomfortable looking him in the eye and telling him no, coz you know yourself these salesman can be quite pushy.

For you to say you KNOW women don't get rejected.... well that just shows that you know fuck all. That may sound harsh but you seem blinkered and convinced you're right and everyone else is wrong.

I suggest you rethink what you're looking for, and whether you're prepared to make changes in reference to your outlook and expectations, if not I fear this place may turn you into a spiteful, resentful man.

Forget about meeting anyone on here, go to clubs you're not garrenteed success but you're chances are far better.

Also, change your way of thinking, not getting a meet in fab isn't rejection, it's just them wanting to meet for a some reason. I know that this is just semantics but the use of negative language has a negative impact on you psychologically.

Just chill on here, be in no hurry and the meets will come to you - they will be few and far between but they will be great!

I noticed earlier on another thread that you said you've been chatting to women, then at the point you ask when they want to meet they don't get back to you. So I'm gonna take a stab in the dark that it's something to do with your approach.

Yet you say you've messaged 30 women and none of them have responded, so something somewhere isn't adding up.

We get loads of messages every day op and 99.9% just ain't for us for various reasons, not because we think we think we are too good for them but just not our cup of tea.

We also message single men but we are not what they are looking for but we understand that.

Keep on plugging away and you will get lucky but as has been said 3 weeks is not long on here

Have you tried going on Cam to get verified, that might help your predicament xx

My partner hasn't been rejected by 1 person on this site since she joined at the same time as me it doesn't happen to women it's a fact of life.

How does that work? "

Hang on a minute, been following this since you put your thread up and now suddenly you have a partner who joined at the same time and is getting response after every message??

3 weeks is as long time when you get absolutely nothing from people on here it's not like there's a few here and there in between it's been everyone. How can you stand out

What exactly were your expectations?

Well I knew it wasn't going to be easy but I didn't expect literally every woman I've messaged to turn me down either. It's fine for women they never get rejected because they don't have to chase anyone so they don't understand."

I think it’s all to do with how you frame the situation. Don’t thing of things as “rejection”. It’s just that things aren’t meant to be.

Relax a little. You’re an attractive guy. There will be loads of women out there for you. Just focus on pushing forward and don’t worry about those that aren’t right for you.

I probably get rejected more often than I realise - but because I never really focus or dwell on negative interactions, I don’t notice it.

"Well I knew it wasn't going to be easy but I didn't expect literally every woman I've messaged to turn me down either. It's fine for women they never get rejected because they don't have to chase anyone so they don't understand."

Now your starting to sound bitter.

When you say rejected, have they actually all said no. Or have they not replied. That is two totally different things. The first is rejection and if they all are writing back and saying no thanks then I'd be very surprised. You might be surprised to know that couples and women get rejected too, plus they get messed around by people that don't turn up, who are usually hiding behind a single male profile.

The second possible meaning of your turn rejected is completely normal for FAB. You see what happens is you send a polite reply back and then get told 'I wouldn't have fucked you because your ugly anyway', plus that person then has carte blanche to mail you whenever they like regardless of what filters you apply to your mail settings.

Fab works on the principal that you should accept no reply as no thanks. So if it's the second form of rejection, then you need to sell yourself better, approach people that whose profiles you meet, and probably improve your opening approach.

Good luck.

You really are not helping yourself, you've asked for advice and yes, you've had some silly comments but you've also had some good advice but all you do is make excuses and blame everyone else. The only common denominator here is you, so maybe you need to take a long hard look at how you're conducting yourself.

Believe me, women get rejected as well, or struggle to make it in clubs. I'm 57, new to the scene, and often find that women on here who interest me have their age limit set to 45 or 50, thus excluding me, which is frustrating as I am told that I look a lot younger. Then on Saturday night at Cupid's everyone seemed to know everyone else, it was too noisy to hear yourself think, the single guys were nowt to look at, and I just ended up playing with my partner. I could have stayed at home and done that! We can all have our failures.

"Forget Fabs as a place to get meets as a single man. Get to clubs on a regular basis, get to know people in real life and use fab to keep in touch.

I think you’ve been given an unnecessarily rough ride and pack mentality is forming here. When you bite back, it’s you that’s got the attitude. That’s the Fab forum for you. "

I understand how crap it feels to get no replies OP. Trying a social is a good idea but there's a risk you might get blanked there too. Some people are nice though, maybe it depends on the area.

I think 3 weeks is plenty of time to find out how it's likely to be. I would have given up by now, so you're doing better than me.

Three weeks is absolutely no time at all.

I think some people join this site and expect to be balls deep the same day they join, no doubt it happens for some. But for many it takes a while.

A bit of patient & going with the flow will change a lot of people’s experiences on here.
