Men & Childish message responses

Occasionally we'll respond to a poor quality message politely. Why do male profiles think that then firing back a childish insult will do them any favours? Do they think that well verified profiles don't talk to each other and share details on these profiles?

Considering these guys want to get laid, they don't do a good job of being easy to get on with!

If they were to say it in person, they’d definitely get laid…..out cold!

I assume that they know that they are failures and that their pitiful redirected anger, away from themselves, just shows their lack of compassion etc. There's probably zero self-reflection and thought going on. Their dicks are in need and that's being thwarted.

It astounds me that people do that - if someone declines me I get that and I thank them for the honesty and move on - not difficult is it x

This is the main issue with guys that we've found. Then you see posts on the forum from these same guys wondering why they aren't getting any connections with anyone...! Eh, this is why lol. And yes, we will ask around about guys as well

The amount of abuse I get when I point out I’m not currently meeting and that my head line says I’m not meeting. People take rejection really badly, I’m not replying to anyone now just block and delete.

I got one at 5am today asking if I was free now because he was passing through. I replied when I was awake at 8 with a no and got told its too late now and I'm a bitch for acting like I'm rejecting him when he was already gone anyway and if that's what I need to sleep at night when I've missed out then whatever.

I was laughing as I hit the block button

OP This is behaviour from all parts of the site - just that males are _much_ more prevalent in your inbox.

I have had similar stuff from couples when I say they are not for me. It all depends on who you are interacting with.

Interesting. The post is indicative of our recent experience on fab, and at no point did the post say that it is only men who do it. It's likely we get more messages from men than you do, so it's something we see more of.

I'm always surprised at the arrogance of some couples.

Read some of the profiles and they often bark endless rules and requirements at you that you will have to adhere to in order to get them to even read your message.

Of course, they may well get loads of unwanted attention, and that can be a problem, but a bit of humility wouldn't hurt!

To read some of them, you'd think that these people consider themselves the 'holy grail' of couples, and that they are so fantastic, that you'd have to be perfect to get a meet!

Of course , it makes sense to list your general preferences and limits & dislikes, but honestly; some of these couples profiles are just so full of themselves.

It's the same for a lot of people I'd guess. The difference being the content of your inbox.

I'd guess as a straight guy you don't get many emails from male profiles, so any bad experience you have will be from other profile groups.

Isn't it better that a profile is honest? If you read a profile and think 'they're not for us' it's done a good job of indicating if you'd enjoy meeting the people who wrote it. The vast majority of people on here would not be a good match for each other, an honest profile, good or bad, helps narrow the search and prevent wasted time.

If the post was just expressing a different experience, I'd agree with you. His post states 'only men', a point I've already clearly rebutted. As you'll see from other responses I've posted, I'm aware that other profiles experiences may differ from ours.

Apart from inviting him to leave the post, I can't see anything unpleasant about my response.

I think it is interesting that the responses pushing back on the original assertion come from well verified males. That would indicate that they do see another side to the site and that they are not just chasing anyone like most of the sycophantic responses you get in the forums.

I agree with you - I did think OPs response was a little harsh and it did make me chuckle that it basically validated the respondents point.

I think the reality is that profiles that are popular (for whatever reason) will get traffic and that traffic will often come with unpleasantness if it is rejected. It is probably a surprise to people that some males have choices and do turn down meets on the site. That is life unfortunately and what the block button is for.

I'm my experience on here I've had some abuse from men but it's few and far between,filters are great so is actually looking for people you are interested in and actually making first contact.

I've had a lot more abuse from couples on here than I have had from men .They seem to think I should be grateful they decided to message me and cannot seem to understand the fact that I am straight and have zero interest in playing with the woman and putting on a good show for the man. And then get abusive when I say no to meeting them and point out the fact I am straight.It doesn't bother me they just end up on my block list when they do it. You can only control how you react to abuse on here there's no point in thinking you can change the abuse on here because unfortunately that will never change. There will always be people who think because they joined a swingers site they are entitled to a shag with whoever they contact.

I don't see why the man who posted above deserved some back lash just because he stated what has been his experience on here.Surely all are allowed to say what they have experienced on an open forum without their opinion being belittled just because they are a man. That happens a lot on here if a man dares to go against the grain I've found.

I'm not ok with abuse (obvs) but the childish responses make me laugh. My first week here a gentleman "enquired" and when I politely said no thank you - he said he was out of my league. I did giggle at that one, just before I blocked him.

We get a few from single guys, after replying them a polite no thanks. Our favourites are:

"Your loss!"

"I don't like skinny women anyway"

"Another fake profile"

Rare that we get actual insults, but we usually block before it gets that far.

One thing we have noticed, is that couples who message (despite us not looking for couples) always ignore everything we've stated in our profile and then come back with "Why not?" or worse "OK, just send Vixen over then"

Men can be idiots, but couples can be very entitled.

Vast collection? I don't see any in top threads in this forum or the Lounge. I see a lot of bias against men in terms of cheating but I also see people speaking out about that. Both sexes cheat. Single men are the majority of users I imagine on the site - at times some mens' behaviour leaves much to be desired so it will be mentioned.

I always recommend everyone to place filters on your message box

This places you in full control, breathing space and the ability to actually look for what maybe compatible instead of complaining about what mail you do get.

You should see the abuse I get because I turn down women who do not fit what I'm looking for. They go crazy and abusive .

As I said apply message filters to your message box and life will be a lot easier.

Good luck.

God bless

This places you in full control, breathing space and the ability to actually look for what maybe compatible instead of complaining about what mail you do get.

You should see the abuse I get because I turn down women who do not fit what I'm looking for. They go crazy and abusive .

As I said apply message filters to your message box and life will be a lot easier.

Good luck.

God bless

I certainly have filters.

What a nice post "

Take care beautiful x

I don't get messages from men and never have done even before blocking them all so I can't comment on reactions in that regard.

On the couples account I also have here with a friend, we have had less than 30 messages in total since creating it 9 or 10 months ago and only one of those took rejection badly.

I haven't sent an introductory message in 3 years so every conversation in that time has been started by others.

The level of dummy spitting by extremely well verified couples who don't get the response they expect when they contact me is laughable.

I've had all the old chestnuts thrown at me about being too old or too straight and told it's my loss when I've refused their instruction to shave my beard, play bi or send facepics and phone numbers straight away.

I've also been told they will ruin my fab journey and asked do I not know who they are and their standing on this site?

And yet they were the ones initiating contact with some old straight bastard!

I have had similar reactions from single women but to a lesser degree.

Childish behaviour is not restricted to men on here but if a man started a thread whinging about his negative experience he would be told to grow a set and man up.

Treating people as equals on here seems to a difficult ask for some.

"We used to get these messges quite a lot even after sending a polite no thank you. Now we just delete messages we are not interested.

So much easier now

Same here, found myself getting into exchanges as to why I was saying no. Now I just delete them."

"I got one at 5am today asking if I was free now because he was passing through. I replied when I was awake at 8 with a no and got told its too late now and I'm a bitch for acting like I'm rejecting him when he was already gone anyway and if that's what I need to sleep at night when I've missed out then whatever.

I was laughing as I hit the block button "

You mean you wasn't ready at 5am just incase!!!!!lol

"

Good of you to pop up and add an unpleasant tone to an otherwise civilised post.

Let yourself out.

You don't think that is unpleasant?

Did you deliberately not read my reply to you? I specifically pointed that out. You're not doing well here I'm afraid. Again, another unpleasant response, well done."

"Occasionally we'll respond to a poor quality message politely. Why do male profiles think that then firing back a childish insult will do them any favours? Do they think that well verified profiles don't talk to each other and share details on these profiles?

Considering these guys want to get laid, they don't do a good job of being easy to get on with! "

It's why I never respond to messages from guys who I have no interest in. Just delete them block if they persist!!

The shame for us is we sometimes want a guy for a scenario meet we want to try. Because of this we leave out filters open, as finding reliable, suitable single guys is harder than it should be on here!

We usually block every profile that doesn't match what we're looking for as they come up, to save wasting time later.

Where ALL profiles are concerned, I can't see why anyone would message insults in response to a turn down. And I appreciate that as there are more male profiles than any other sort on here, the incidents of bad ones are exaggerated by the volume.
