This is for men and women. Personally if someone msgs me and they're not my type, whether it be body wise or face wise, I would normally message them and polite tell them I'm not interested or you're not my type, hope you find what you're looking for.

But do you msg someone you're not interested in and tell them you're not interested or do you just don't reply to their msg?

I'm only speaking for me. Noone else.

I always try and reply but I'm not putting the effort in to chat with people I'm not interested in. However if it's a "add me", "meet now", etc etc I just delete. And depending on the mood, block.

Totally agree. Sometimes you have to prioritise yourself.

Just out of interest, as a single guy, roughly how many messages do you get per day/week?

I would say anywhere from about 3-6 a day. Sometimes I'll go a few days amd get like 1 or 2 messages.

In general if the message is genuine pite and direct to both of us then we reply.

If the message is solely directed at devil and the first message is what they would like to do to her then no reply and blocked.

Tbh I think it depends on who it is...we always look at the profile before opening msgs...if its someone with no profile pic or veris we just delete....if its a one line msg we delete, if its its a message full of disk picks we delete...if its a message that only addresses myself we kindly remind them it's a couple profile and ho from there..if its a well thought out message but not our type...we kindly tell them.

Here and There

Currently my profile says that I’m not meeting, don’t want to be messaged and will block anyone who does message me. I have zero time for people who CBA to even read a profile, so if I get a message I delete it and block the person who sent it. Can’t say I didn’t warn them.

When I am meeting, my profile makes clear exactly what I’m looking for. If someone outside of my clearly stated preference messages me I delete and block because they either haven’t read my profile or don’t have any respect for me or what I’m looking for. If someone has taken the time to read, matches what I’ve asked for but I’m still not feeling them then I just don’t reply usually, but I don’t block.

I like my message filters to remain intact as I often turn off messaging completely. If I replied to everyone there’d be loads of people who could circumnavigate my filters and I don’t want that. The site rules state no reply = no thank you, so I take that approach.

It depends on the message. If it’s polite and their profile is decent, but they’re just not for me then I’ll reply.

If it’s not, or I get the vibe that they’ll be nasty back then I don’t.

Unless I’m in the mood to test if I’m right. Then I reply to their nasty reply with “Bingo” and block.

We used to nearly always reply to people saying 'thanks but no thanks, hope you find what you're looking for' kind of thing, but more often than not single guys took it as an introduction to chat and some are very persistent, even if polite. In the end we just blocked single guys again. Couples we still generally reply to in that way if we aren't interested, though we usually ignore obvious fakes.

We don’t actually spend a huge amount of time on here, so when we do come online sometimes the number of messages is too much to respond to. So we generally only respond if we’re potentially interested, but it goes both ways, we’ve messaged plenty and been ignored, it’s not personal. Different horses for different courses

Some ladies on here get daily messages in the hundreds so I would accept that they not reply if not interested.

Rather than just delete if people are not interested in a message I would prefer they block me so I don't waste mine or their time again. I tend to block as a filter for those I have no interest in or who stipulate I'm not for them.

I always reply but as I get less than one message a week, it's no real effort for me to do so. If I was being inundated with messages, then that would be very different; I'd ignore the ones that clearly hadn't read my profile and I may or may not reply with a polite "no thank you" to the ones that didn't interest me (depending on the number of messages that I had at the time).

If a bit of effort was put into the message, I think it's nice to acknowledge their efforts with a reply, but if it's a 'hi', 'how are you' or 'want me to fill up your wife?' Then they are best ignored I think

If they’ve been polite we’ll reply.

If it’s a ‘fuck now’, cock pics sent, vulgar message, aimed at one of us, then we’ll delete.

It’s not being rude as we’ve not asked anyone to message us.

We invite a message but we do say that we’ll only reply to people who have made an effort.

I always read profiles, taking notice of the details so that my messages are well written and personal so they don’t read like another generic cut and pasted mail out but it’s mostly a waste of time.

In the rare moment that I receive a reply it’s usually a “not my type” message so I’m thinking that unfortunately being average just isn’t the selling point for most on here.

It depends but I tend to reply to most.

If someone has cheated through my filters or is someone I already have said no to then it highly unlikely I will answer.

I tend not to answer profiles that are blank or messages like how's fab treating you or faf ones.

"Doesn't hurt to reply "Sorry not for us" "

Yup I agree but I do get the point that women are couples gets lots of messages.

For me personally I always read someone's profile before messaging them. So if they say they're looking for bwc I'll be like cool on to the next one or if they say they only want tattooed guys or guys in uniform etc.

Most times (as in 90% of the times, I send a simple intro message as to who I am, my physical attributes (including how my dick looks) and I always enclose a few facial pics) I don't send dick pics unless the profile specifically asks for dick pics in the first message.

But I will be honest even with that most times I don't get a reply if the person isn't interested.

But it's cool, for me like I said, if someone messages me I always reply even if I'm not interested.

This! Sadly it's the way of the Fab world that men massively outnumber women and there just isn't time or energy to reply to all, especially when even a "Thanks but no thanks" often leads to a snarky reply back.

Sadly a minority like that ruin it for the rest.

I tend to suggest to single females and couples just new to the site to actually block messages from single males and cherry pick single males that are of interest to them.

It's not ideal but it will keep them on the site a bit longer and give them a little breathing space to find their feet.

It's not entirely going to get rid of the idiots as there are plenty if sad dickheads masquerading as couples and single females and then there are the rude pricks who think that just because they have a partner and are down as a couple that they can disregard the need to be respectful to people which again is all too common.
