Rant also over" Sorry but I gave up trying to send thanks but no thanks messages to everyone that messages me for a number of reasons, a lot of people are the same. Just treat a delete as a no thanks x | |||

""And while I am on my soapbox (best be careful I don't slip) why do guys think 5 ft 8 is tall when I again say in my profile that I like tall guys as I love heels and that I am 5 foot 6? Do they think I won't notice? " Their heels might be bigger than yours? " I wouldn;t bet on it.lol | |||

"My beef is that women ( generally) complain about rude/ ignorant/ aggressive etc etc men but are quite happy to behave in an equally impolite way themselves ... Pot, kettle black!" Ignoring a message from someone who has clearly not read my profile is slightly different from calling someone names though. | |||

It is neither rude not ignorant to not reply to messages. It says as much in the fab FAQ section x | |||

" Ignoring a message from someone who has clearly not read my profile is slightly different from calling someone names though." True, but is it right if someone has read it? | |||

"'I'ld prefer' isnt definate. Plus think a large amount of guys on here lie about being single when they are not. One guy i met for the second time had a pair of feminine slippers tucked under the bed though he said he shared the room with his male cousin, another had a selection of nail vanishes which im sure werent for him. Gets me so faustrated that people can lie like that. now I always ask people outright" I thought saying I would prefer was better than saying I WILL NOT, after all single fems are always being told we are aggresive..By ignoring it I think guys are saying to me they actually don;t care what I would prefer or not..not a good recipie for a meet? | |||

" Ignoring a message from someone who has clearly not read my profile is slightly different from calling someone names though. True, but is it right if someone has read it?" Then their message should make that clear instead of being the usual 'wanna fuk?' one-liner. | |||

"I get exactly the same thing, I even put under 5ft9 don't message me for a meet..does it make a difference, slightly but I still get messages with 'were all the same height lying down' 'god loves a tryer' etc. Same with attached men I'm not interested and clearly state it x but although I try and reply to all messages it's just too much when people can't actually read simple guidelines on my profile. When we're looking to meet other couples we read their profiles, if it says they prefer slim people I don't bother messaging them, because I'm not x now why can't others do that x" I tend to read a profile properly if the lady is straight i don't message,if they don't meet smokers i don't message,its about finding someone who wants the same,if they state its not their preference then it should be enough. | |||

" Ignoring a message from someone who has clearly not read my profile is slightly different from calling someone names though. True, but is it right if someone has read it? Then their message should make that clear instead of being the usual 'wanna fuk?' one-liner." i tend to construct well written polite tailored messages to women and couples who catxh my eye. most of these profiles state they.will ignore/block/delete one liners etc. so i take the time to write a message which is promptly deleted with bot even a thanks but no thanks...? Glad i have a thick skin and realise that its just their way and if they.cannot.be bothered with social niceties then we probably would not have been a matxh for fun anyway Dave | |||

" Think I should clarify that The profile pic on the home page is on the left on the right of it is the status and name, same with messages so they see the pic first. Mens arousal starts with thier dicks and goes north, healthy men have several erections when thier asleep it's normal, Womens arousal starts in thier heads and gets thought about before it migrates south. | |||

"I think alot of the trouble is when I am on the pc the text of the profile is at the top then the pics at the bottom then you have to scroll back up to send a message. When on my phone and you click on a profile the avatar pic is the first thing you see then a bar with the pics to select. then the text below. Be interesting to see how many people use a pc as opposed to a phone to view fabs as this could be a reason for so many messages from people that have not read the text. Look on phone, see avatar, go straight to pics think mmm thats nice, then straight back to message button, send a message and never even read the text. Maybe fabs need to look at the layout of their phone app??" Like that would work , people will either read or not read profile however site is set up | |||

Even if it cut down say 10% of the messages it would be a start??? | |||

What you're forgetting is that just because you (and I mean generically not personally) seem to meet someone's preferences 'on paper' - she or they just may not feel attracted to you!! | |||

I totally understand that. I also understand that women and couples get alot of one liner messages... Heck even I get them from guys???? But if Surley if someone has taken the time and effort, a polite no thank you is deserved?? | |||
