"A simple no thanks takes no effort to write."

You realise that some people get over a hundred messages a day, not to mention that even when you do that a lot of those men will then either reply trying to convince you, or throw abuse your way, not responding is a much easier method

If someone messages and they have a face and body pic either in their message or in their profile as requested in my profile then they always get a reply even it’s a polite no thanks. If they just message with no pictures then I delete.

Replying just a) opens up the channel of comms for the future and b) risks the torrent of abuse when you politely say no. We started off replying to everyone but rapidly changed tactics and stopped. The abuse simply isn't worth it.

One minute you're God's gift to them, next you're a fat, disabled old trollop that no-one wants to touch and your husband is a freak for shagging a disabled "bird". Not worth it, eh?

Just because you don't hey a reply doesn't mean people are fake.

If its obvious in their message that they havnt read my bio then I won't reply either.

I used to reply but the abuse we get back to a polite no thankyou is vile and isn't worth the risk.

If you give the site faqs a read it does state that a no reply or deleted message is a no.

Yes it maybe frustrating and seem rude that people don't reply but doing that 80+ times a day to different people and getting getting 50 abuse messages back just really isn't worth the time effort or upset. So now the site faqs are the best option for most.

This is from the facts page.

There are too many rude people on here who don't reply to my messages!

It's not rude not to reply.

Some ladies and couples get hundreds of messages a day so it simply isn't possible for them to reply to everyone. If you don't get a response, you should assume they aren't interested. If you're getting a lot of "no-replies" then you should consider your profile and the messages you send. Are they giving the right message? Are you standing out from the thousands of other guys on here?

I guess you'd have to receive the messages couples and single ladies get to fully understand their perspective.

We often try to be polite, and sometimes wish we hadn't bothered.

Some see this as fishing, if they receive a reply, they think they've got a bite, no matter the reply.

They'll begin trying to change our mind or trying to converse more, even after we mentioned we're not looking to get into conversation with more as we're struggling to keep up.

Think of it this way ........

Each time you walk by ac Street seller, be that charity or gas and electric, do you feel obliged to stop and talk with them because they approached you?

You're not obliged and neither are people here.

Put the effort into your profile, a selection of a few pictures, read their profile and message them appropriately/accordingly, relate to what they seek.

Good luck

I just wanted to add that no we aren't all here for the same thing. Some just read forums. Some stay for the group socials. Some to stay in touch with friends.

Their bios will usually state this but just don't assume everyone is here for rhe same thing. Good luck

This gets posted so often and so many times women try to politely say why they don’t or can’t reply to all but still men get funny.

I give up trying to explain now. Men might see this as being rude or that I’m fake but I am neither. I had some bloke call me rude and block me today because I had to bulk delete the messages I couldn’t get through, I even apologised on a status before I did it, but that’s not good enough

The fact that this topic keeps coming up with monotonous regularity should be evidence enough that many people haven't read the site advice or any previous advice given in similar threads.

It baffles me how popular women and couples can be expected to reply to anything more than a few messages each day unless they have someone (like a benevolent employer) else's time at their disposal!

Basically, No reply Is a reply, it's a No.

Not everyone is comfortable to tell people No, so they ignore.

We also have a life away from here and so don't want to waste precious time stating No thank you so many times, when we're here for the Yes pleases.

Be sure to put effort into your profile and messages, a few choice pictures too.

Basically, kinda match the profiles that grab your attention.

Say I get on average 20/30 messages a day time I've answered all of them thanks but no thanks nearly all the men with reply so now I have got another 50/60 of messages. Now if I put on a new photo that number of messages can easily go up to 100/150 (last I over 500) how am I supposed to respond to all those messages.

"I’m a well mannered man clean respectful and very easy going and a very good personality but never get a reply way to many fake people on here "

OP. In some responses to comments already said, you have tended to answer your own original query.

The bottom line is there are hundreds of guys all seeking the same goal. In pre-pandemic times, it was difficult enough, but it's even tougher nowadays.

If you look in the Forum Index, or check on Moderators responses or advice on this topic, it's generally regarded that No Reply equates to someone NOT being interested.

Some Ladies or even Couples have been known to receive 200 messages a day to their profiles, or new Pics appearing. That makes answering all messages a chore.

Or put it this way; if you happened to get 200+ messages in one day, would you reply to each and every one? Add in those who don't accept the word "NO" & repeat message again and again! It happens! See what I mean? Where would you draw the line?

Being on FAB, being a newcomer as you are, means having a thick skin and accepting no replies means No! This isn't an Instant Meet Site, but instead, you must have bags of Patience and Perseverance to get you through.

Ok so say a woman starts to reply to 20 messages, just to say no thanks, in that time she starts to talk to 2 she likes and wants to keep replying. For every 5 minutes she’s online replying she’s getting another 5 messages from other people expecting a reply as well as the two she’s interested in. Not only that she’s then got the ones she’s said no thanks to trying to start up a conversation. Or giving her abuse. By the end of the day she may have over 80’she hasn’t been able to reply to, do you understand now?

If you use the reply + quote button it helps your thread move smoothly.

Alas not knowing the sites rules and how it basically works is on you and no one else.

No reply = no thank you so no it’s not rude and no one is entitled to anything on here just like IRL.

Have a read on the replies here and you may understand.

And there's your first lesson, many won't n reply because they are too busy trying to make their fantasies happen, rather than spend time politely saying no, to many people.

It's the way it is, it's not personal.

Trouble is, too often a polite No is seen as an invite to converse.

Put in the right effort and it may well happen.

Nobody is or should be obliged to do anything here, we're all adults and can decide for ourselves

We've offered positive advice.

Put in the effort in your profile and pictures.

Read the profiles of those that interest you, message them with regards to their wishes.

Many will see the lack of effort in a profile and/or message as a Negative.

Nobody is obliged to reply for the sake of politeness.

Like you, they're here for fun, and so will look for the fun they seek, not spendb their day sending polite No's.

Eh? Do you apply that lack of reasoning to everything in life, quite apart from on here?

It's a case that the Old School Swingers as you so eloquently wish to define us, are actually giving you some clear and simple advice, by telling you exactly how it is!

It's not going to change because you want it to suit you. Have you looked at the site rules and advice pages on the Forums, suggesting suitable advice and tips?

Learn from them, and use our comments constructively. It does work, but a lot of success on here comes down simply to how much effort you put in.

They arent they are trying to educated you.

Fab inbox is a very different beast for couples and especially single women to your inbox.

Would you have time to go 1 by 1 to answer 100-500 messages every single day??

People have lives do you think women and couples can dedicate literally hours every single night replying to all the messages from guys that day that they have zero interest in?

God forbid the don't log in for a few days due to life and come back to a 1000 messages sat ready.

I saw a single female get 200 messages in just 1 hour when she put up a new picture.

The only way they could do what you want is to hire a part time secretary to work 10-20 hours a week answering messages which are essentially unsolicited junk mail that they never asked for.

When you take all the above into account surely just surely you now realise how insane your request is??

Old or new most of us are in the same boat more or less. I think people see so many of these type of posts they get jaded by it. what might help is a sticky FAQ at the top of the forums or some sort of auto reply rule option on messages, like you can set up in outlook. It's not a 100% perfect but at least it'll give some people the response the yearn for, even if it is an automated one.

Ok, there is a simple solution to the problem.

There should be a button where if you are not interested with the person called "not interested".

Which then the website sends an automated message telling the person not interested maybe with a reason and maybe show results that who on the website might be interested.

Also, often the reply is already in their profile.

So often we have guys messaging that are a good ten years or more out of our age range, just as one example.

We get a lot of messages from single guys when it says we’re not interested in meeting single guys. We don’t reply to them as they haven’t bothered to read our profile.

Just because you message someone doesn’t mean they have to respond. Trying to put a response under “common decency” is a bit weak as well.

I think peoples comments have been constructive and helpful, it must be clear now why you are not getting replies, numbers, abuse etc. It takes time and effort to stand out, a humorous observant comment say based on someone's post on a thread etc. Dont get frustrated or upset..that will get you nowhere. Most of all , if you want to chat to people go to one of the organised socials held around the country, ( there is info in the forums,...when things allow ) by far the easiest way to get your first verification and engage with people .

Out of interest op, assuming - like us - you get regular spam phone calls do you always answer them with a polite, "no thank you".

Most people don't, and it's just the same on here - live with it.

If some women had to reply to every message they receive it would take hours, fuck that if rather leave than do that.

I think it's common decency for people to read a profile and maybe consider not messaging in the first place if it is clear that you are not what the profile is looking for.

Yet still women get hundreds of messages from people that clearly have not read their profile or just don't care what it says. Isn't that rude?

"A simple no thanks takes no effort to write."

True but I wouldn't say no thanks without reading their profile first. So let's say a couple of minutes to read a profile and respond accordingly multiplied by the 432 messages that I received yesterday alone that's 7 hours 12 minutes work....I have other things to do with my life.

"Ok ladies I’m not here for a roasting, think you guys have forgot that I am new to all this, and feedback is very much appreciated "

To be honest. It has been explained may tines through this thread why people don't reply, but you keep insisting that they should. If this is your attitude on here, then you will probably NEVER get anywhere on here. You come across as selfish and entitled.

Many ladies literally get hundreds of messages a day on here, and responding to each of them would take hours.

You MUST be aware that none if these ladies has asked you to message them, so your message is just unsolicited spam to most.

The majority of women will look at your profile before even opening your message, if they're not enticed by your profile then no message will sway them.

If you want success on here, your profile is the most important thing. If there is nothing there to make you stand out from the crowd, you WILL be overlooked.

.... but we're not all here for the same thing. Some are here looking casual sex with a midget in a santa outfit, others are looking to be gangbanged by the French rugby squad. Others are looking to be used as a toilet, where as someone else just wants to swap pictures of their favourite sheep....

We all can't be for everyone and if the ladies and couples are inundated or indeed looking for something specific, you have to understand its impossible for them to reply, if I send a message and no reply I accept that as a no thanks same with a no thank reply I leave it at that. I've had a couples profile on here it's bewildering how many messages you get and end up bulk deleting and starting again when looking. Sometimes it's best to accept its not rudeness it's just timing

Cruel. But fair. I think if someone enters into an exchange with you, then maybe politeness says it should get a 'close-off' if they then decide that they're not interested. Up to then, no-one should 'expect' anything.

When I first joined Fab, I replied to every message I was sent, as I am a nice person & feel that if someone had taken the time to write to me, I would write them back, even if it was to politely decline their requests.

Over time, I realised that

1) I quite frankly didn't have the time or the inclination to reply to the hundreds of messages I got on a weekly bases.

2) When I did respond with a no thank you, very often I would keep getting messages from the same guys trying to either pursuade me to meet them.

For example... "you don't know what you are missing" pleas.

Or even those very same guys who originally messaged me saying how gorgeous my figure was etc. Then getting very nasty & verbally abusing me saying things like...

" Well I wouldn't meet you anyway as you are (.........) insert abuse here!

So unfortunately I choose to not respond most times these days if I am not interested in someone, as it's just easier.

Doesn't mean I am rude or a bad person, it just means I have checked out your profile & don't want to meet you for any one of a hundred reasons!

Eh? Do you apply that lack of reasoning to everything in life, quite apart from on here?

It's a case that the Old School Swingers as you so eloquently wish to define us, are actually giving you some clear and simple advice, by telling you exactly how it is!

It's not going to change because you want it to suit you. Have you looked at the site rules and advice pages on the Forums, suggesting suitable advice and tips?

Learn from them, and use our comments constructively. It does work, but a lot of success on here comes down simply to how much effort you put in.

Women do get a lot of stick for not replying to messages , it's not right. Their inbox gets flooded , keep in mind that there are more men on the site.

Participate In the forums and chat, I find it easier building friendships that way rather than going straight to the inbox.

No reply or a deleted message shouldn't be looked as being rude. No one is entitled to a reply.

It's the same as if someone says no to giving you their number, no matter how nice you've been.

Do you reply to every unsolicited letter you get through the mail, or every email advertisement you receive? Thought not, but it doesn't make you fake, just that you're not interested in what's on offer. You aren't entitled to an answer to your advertisement either (as Fab guidelines tell you).

"I guess you'd have to receive the messages couples and single ladies get to fully understand their perspective.

We often try to be polite, and sometimes wish we hadn't bothered.

Some see this as fishing, if they receive a reply, they think they've got a bite, no matter the reply.

They'll begin trying to change our mind or trying to converse more, even after we mentioned we're not looking to get into conversation with more as we're struggling to keep up.

Think of it this way ........

Each time you walk by ac Street seller, be that charity or gas and electric, do you feel obliged to stop and talk with them because they approached you?

You're not obliged and neither are people here.

Put the effort into your profile, a selection of a few pictures, read their profile and message them appropriately/accordingly, relate to what they seek.

Good luck"

Fab forums really are the gift that keeps giving.

Do you genuinely believe that all the women you message are fake because you don't get a reply ?

Just remember that you've not joined easyslutsrus.com so I suggest that you lower your expectations and up your game massively.

When clubs open up and socials start again, go to them.

So are you saying that as long as they'll meet it doesn't matter what they're like? Because a lot of women don't work like that, they like to be attracted to the person they're having sex with.

Everyone has the right to choose who they sleep with , just because people like you don't think women should be allowed to have that choice when infact without us women you would be using your hands. Women are allowed to say no thats our right , just like you men have the right to pick who you want to sleep with. Your comment is disgusting and if you don't have sexual chemistry then the sex would be shit

That's an odd way of measuring success or if someone is genuine.

So are you saying that as long as they'll meet it doesn't matter what they're like? Because a lot of women don't work like that, they like to be attracted to the person they're having sex with."

Wrong....

We are not all here simply to find someone to shag. Sorry but I need a genuine connection with someone whom I am going to spend time with and get to know.

Why would you meet someone who you weren't attracted to and have sex with them? This say more about you then any 1000 word profile.

Not my type yada yada is just someone expressing a preference,might be too short, too old or young etc.

Just get over it and move on,it's nothing personal.

And no reply means not interested, it's not rude to not respond.

And every time that "myth" comes up it chips away a little more at the shaky self confidence of those of us who already think it."

Find those who like you as you are - and don't regard the rest

We get anywhere between 20 and 100 messages a day depending on whether we have uploaded pics etc. About 98% of them clearly haven't bothered to read our profile so why should we have the 'decency', as you put it, to dedicate over an hour of our day replying to people who haven't spent the same amount of time reading the profile?

Anyone who clearly has gets a response regardless of whether we are interested.

"Yeah I get that, but for people who are new to this is like a knock back! I know I’m not everyone’s cup of tea, but what’s wrong with people being polite, it really does go a long way x "

You know what's rude?

Joining a group and not reading the etiquette/rules etc.

You don't seem to be understanding that no reply means no interest, that comes from the site itself.

Many women, off the back of threads just like this one, or because when they joined they felt obliged to respond with a polite no thanks discovered all they were doing was opening themselves up for a fuckton of abuse.

I'd also like to open your eyes and mind that actually no, we most certainly are not all here for the same thing.

Well, having looked at your profile (because I always read them), I am going to contradict your theory. I can tell by your profile that in fact we are not after the same thing. I have never met anyone purely based on looks, personality matter to me far more. Your theory that men seem to manage to organise meets better than women is also contradicted by the many posts from men complaining that they can't get meets.

If I replied to everyone who messaged me on here FAB would be a full time (or at least part time) admin job!

I'm not turning this site into an unreasonable amount of work for myself just so people who choose to message me can be satisfied that I'm 'not rude'

"Just because you don't hey a reply doesn't mean people are fake.

If its obvious in their message that they havnt read my bio then I won't reply either.

I used to reply but the abuse we get back to a polite no thankyou is vile and isn't worth the risk.

If you give the site faqs a read it does state that a no reply or deleted message is a no.

Exactly this!

It really shows to me that there's a canyon between the mentality.

There are those who want an experience, a meet that leaves you with a glow and a new mate, something to reminisce upon and raises a smile, something you look back on hopefully with fondness.

And those who think "dick, fanny, balls empty, job done"

"I’m here as a new comer! So all of the so called old school swingers that are throwing out advice should be more supportive of the new comers instead of giving out negative advice

Eh? Do you apply that lack of reasoning to everything in life, quite apart from on here?

It's a case that the Old School Swingers as you so eloquently wish to define us, are actually giving you some clear and simple advice, by telling you exactly how it is!

It's not going to change because you want it to suit you. Have you looked at the site rules and advice pages on the Forums, suggesting suitable advice and tips?

Learn from them, and use our comments constructively. It does work, but a lot of success on here comes down simply to how much effort you put in.

You seem very sensible, and it obviously works well for you, maybe you should write a book

Thank you for your response. I do try and it can work for me, just as it does for the genuine single guys who do take their time to read profiles fully, do react accordingly but can accept that rejection on here is part and parcel of FAB life!

I've made my share of errors over the years, but learnt from them.

But I don't go around thinking that the ladies on here should be automatically reacting to my approach, such as the OP appears to consider should happen.

Amazingly, as someone else has commented, the OP has been very quiet & hasn't been replying.

"A simple no thanks takes no effort to write."

I have 339 messages in my inbox (I clear it weekly) if you say no thanks it usually leads to ‘why not’ which then results in another message or ignore.

To spend say 30 seconds on say 100 messages a day means 50 mins a day just to say no thanks once. I don’t have that kind of time nor do I want to spend my fab time replying to people who think I owe them ....

Don't mix not getting a reply with fake profiles. Very separate things.
