Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum

It depends on the message. If the guy hasn't bothered to read my profile, I can't be bothered to reply. If he has I do try to reply but when I do 9 times out of 10 they try and persuade me to change my mind. 'No' seems to be a difficult word to understand on here sometimes.

I struggle to understand why people would prefer a 'no' message to no reply. Same result isn't it?

Ur right, so when a polite no thanks is send its even worse to get name calling and abuse in return!

That's what happens a lot..or people who won't take no for an answer..

Its a lot less hassle to ignore. No is no whether written or not.

Don't take it personally

I replied to a message just yesterday saying 'no thanks'. He then sent a further 3 messages trying to get me to change my mind. I had to block him in the end. This is one reason why I sometimes simply do not answer messages from people I have no interest in meeting.

This happens to me too. I prefer not to block but the fact they can't respect my choices means I was right to turn them down.

I agree , I got fed up with rudeness after I replied. I now just delete. I also get fed up being told I maybe below your age range but I'm mature. Well if they are that mature they would take no for an answer.

It's not bad manners to reply. I do think its bad manners however when I do reply to say no thanks and get rude messages telling me I'm 'up my own arse' or asking why, or can't I make an exception etc. I used to reply to all messages, now I just delete. You may well be one that can accept a no thanks with grace but sadly a lot can't so you can blame them! X

but the ones that do fit my profile preferences it would be nice now and then just to get a response even if its a not my type sorry!

never contact any ladies again once im told. other than to say that's ok and thank you for the reply.

you could look up the hundreds of threads that have asked this question and find the answers there , but in my opinion , its nothing to do with decency not replying , no one is obliged to reply to any mail least of all one they didnt ask for in the first place .

They might fit YOUR preferences, but you might not fit theirs. Just one of those things I am afraid and something you need to get used to unless you want to be annoyed most the time you're on here.

You are probably one of between 5 & 50 guys who have sent messages to a woman/couple in one day.

So lets say I get home from a long hard day at work and log in for a bit of light relief to 30 unsolicited messages - most outwith my criteria. You expect me to spend even 30 seconds per reply (remember, I didn't ask any of these guys to message me in the first place) that's 15 minutes of my precious evening, replying to guys who haven't bothered to read my profile. This site is supposed to be fun - not so if every day I have to do the above.

Would you feel any better about being rejected if you had an answer? Would it change anything? No, it wouldn't.

***Discalaimer - I'm not saying I receive 30 messages every day (sometimes I don't get one) but a lot of women & couples do.

Sadly some think a reply saying a polite " no thankyou " is an opening to further discussion

Makes one wonder if in a club situation and a "no thankyou " was ignored , would they then keep pestering ......probably end up being asked to leave the premises , yet behind a keyboard they ( some ) think they are untouchable I guess

I block them as I find that they will try to contact me again weeks down the line in the hope I will have forgotten. It means they can't pester me any more.

I've never felt compelled to try to change someone's mind or abuse them for saying no thanks. I usually send them a polite message thanking them for their reply and wish them the best of luck.

I can't understand why anyone would give someone abuse for saying no. It's probably the single most important word in a swingers vocabulary...

Isn't it more upsetting to receive a "you're not my type", or some other excuse, than no reply? With the latter you can make believe they just missed your message as opposed to having to accept you're not what they're looking for.

I was once a single male on here, and that's the way I saw it. So I'm not in the habit of finding something nice or polite to say to people I'm not interested in (though I will sometimes say something, if something comes to mind - though as people have said, that normally results in annoying replies).

Yeah, yeah...they all say that!

I have on my profile I don't respond to anyone outwith my criteria. I always read the profile before the message. One such man messaged me, when I saw he was married, bi and couldn't accommodate, I deleted his message.

He then started a thread like yours about being polite, always reading profiles...yeah...right!

As someone pointed out on a similar post yesterday, people should read the FAQs at the bottom of the page!

But people don't know that you won't contact them again.

Even when I have not replied to a message I can often get a follow up one after I have read it saying they noticed I was online/read their message and were they going to get a response.

It is a total pain in the arse sometimes. I just want to pop on and off on occasion. Just browse, chat to friends, etc, I don't need to be explaining myself over and over and over after a long day at work.

I reckon its much like searching for a job, in the sense if your cv isnt what the company want your not going to get a call back or inter_iew.

To be fair, when I first started on here I used to take non replying personally, but on one of my meets the lady i met showed me how many messages she had got sent in just a morning and it was in the hundreds. To be on here you just need to have good bouncebackability skills i guess.

It's Sunday, a day of rest

But as this is a subject close to my heart!:

1/ Perhaps you should familiarise yourself with the FAQ

http://www.fabswingers.com/articles/FAQ#noreply

2/ Do you answer every piece of unsolicited junk mail you receive through your letterbox or inbox, with a no thanks?

3/ A no reply is your answer - a polite way of saying not interested.

4/ Don't let it bother you, plenty more people on here, so just move on to the next!

5/ People can and will do what they choose to do with their accounts!

6/ They might think it is rude of you to message when/if you don't match their requirements.

7/ What is the point in messaging back and saying no thanks, for that person to not take the rejection well, get shirty or continue a conversation which clearly will go nowhere!

Good luck for the future!

Never really had a problem if someone doesn't reply to me. You say manners cost nothing, but sadly time does. If people get a lot of messages, it can take a lot of time to respond to all of them. People who use this site have jobs, families, friends, and a life off this site and shouldnt have to spend so much time responding to loads of people who are of no interest to them.

Sure, I appreciate it if someone does respond with a no thanks, but it doesnt feel all that nicer than if they had just ignored the message.

I'm happy to just get messages from the ones that are interested, and those that arent can feel free to ignore me if they want.

Surely it should be common sense that if women are getting loads of messages, a first impression is crucial.

People are going to make assumptions about the kind of person you are based on your profile and the content and phrasing of your message. Thats how it works.

Your profile says your married but gives no other info. Most will jump to the conclusion that you are cheating without consent. If that is not the case, state it in your profile. If it is the case, dont get upset if peoples assumptions about you are true

I'm really not mate, I dunno a thing about your marraige - I'm just saying, nobody likes having assumptions made about them and being judged based on other peoples ideas of what's acceptable,

So stop doing it to the ladies who choose not to reply

It's really not that important in the scheme of things is it?

Unfortunately there are some men on here who start taking it to heart, if they see their message read, then deleted, without a reply, and i have heard many stories of men becoming abusive if they get a polite 'thanks but no thanks'.

It used to bother me, not getting a reply, but now i just accept it as part of being on here.

I don't think that's always the reason. I don't get hundreds, never have. I get about 10 a week. I've not replied to a new message this year.

Why? Because I'm looking for a specific type of playmate and my profile states I won't respond to anyone outwith what I'm looking for...and I don't!

We always try to reply to all messages, however there are times especially when we have been in the chatrooms when we get a great deal of messages from singles and couples that quite clearly have not even looked at our profile. We use our time to answer messages from people that have read our profile and if we have time we get back to the others.

ladies i now understand that in most cases its the amount of mail you must receive that makes it impossible to even say thank you to a compliment or just a simple no.

i didn't intend to be rude by asking about manners, i maybe could of put what i said better.

You are on here as a married man playing away from home. Just because this is a swinging site it doesnt mean that no one is allowed to have an opinion or _iews. This is a forum and freedom of speach is allowed.

I struggle to understand why people would prefer a 'no' message to no reply. Same result isn't it?"

When i first started on here, i didnt have any blocks up so got a few messages from men and tvs. I wasnt interested, and they would know this if they read my profile, but as most were polite and complimentary i tried to give a nice 'thanks but no thanks'. i found 2 things.

1) if i ignored the message, i never heard from them again

2) if i gave a polite no thanks, i got multiple messages trying to persuade me, and even offering money to meet them until i blocked them.

spoken to a few women on here who have had the same experience. Thats why many wont respond to a message they arent interested in, even if the initial post was polite

We nearly always reply unless its a cut and paste message detailing some wild fantasy that does not fot pur preferences or less than a sentence like "lovely tits" then why should we bother making the effort if its clearly not been made for us?

I agree on the manners part if its relevant to the message received.

Mate the women on here get hounded by singles and couples, for most it is probably impossible for them to reply to every message, half the time it seems people will look at pictures and request a meet with out even looking at preferences let alone actually reading the whole profile, Now that is RUDE. It may not be your fault and it definitely is not mine but the majority have simple tainted the pool for the rest of us and polite non pushy easy going guys who take the time to read and respect peoples profiles and preferences, we are the minority so the action taken by people on here is understandable, are we not all here for fun? Why should it then become hard work for them?

As for no reply to a compliment, if you liked them enough to comment a hundred me before you as done so, how many times does it take before againit becomes a chore to say "thanks" add to that people will use the acknowledgment of the compliment as an opening to then go on messaging the woman.

So to end it all mate if you do not get a reply, yes it can be frustrating but that is life and good luck to the person who didn't reply, if you do and it is a no thank you either leave them alone or thank them for acknowledging your message and then leave them alone, eventually you will get the reply you want just be patient, polite and above all laid back, just go with the flow these things all have a way of working out in the end.

the last part of that Uv just said it what i do.

i don't hound the women on here if they do reply with a thank you. my response is your welcome, and if they don't reply or start a conversation then i leave them alone.

im well aware some chaps will see the response an excuse to keep messing then, but we are the minority in that instant.

We get lots of messages off men even though our profile doesn't state we are looking for them , it gets boring keep replying saying that we not looking for men. And when we do most of the time we get a reply saying they thought they would just try anyway !! So now we don't reply at all. Effectively it's a game of numbers you won't appeal to every so If you send out enough messages you will find someone you appeal to eventually your in essence cold calling. Are you polite to every telephone cold caller or do you just put the phone down ?

I think we have up to 10 guys that message us regular and some daily. As soon as I switch on they message. If I reply they message again. Then there's messages from guys who match our profile, possibly the odd couple. Then the vast messages we get are from people who don't fit our criteria at all.

Currently we have 200 unread messages and we do answer the majority of messages we receive.

if and when i send a message to ladies, i always first check the age setting and read the profile. only then do i send a message. i think its been established that you get far too many messages to respond to every one.

i do now accept that side of the debate.

"mm i must be the odd one out in that case.

im always polite and if its a compliment to someone that isn't in my age range or something i do normally say not expecting a reply just wanted to compliment on pics.

but the ones that do fit my profile preferences it would be nice now and then just to get a response even if its a not my type sorry!

never contact any ladies again once im told. other than to say that's ok and thank you for the reply.

manners don't cost anything.

guess its the gent in me lol

But people don't know that you won't contact them again.

Even when I have not replied to a message I can often get a follow up one after I have read it saying they noticed I was online/read their message and were they going to get a response.

maybe this site should put in an off line button so youcan talk in peace and not be bothered by others ?

I have got to say, i think we must be very lucky on this site, if a single bloke contacts us, we just send thanks, but no thanks, and we have never had any of them pester us with other messages after that, hence the reason i do answer them. Maybe i have just been lucky with the type of men, but i find the single guys on here pretty decent on a whole

Did you also read the bit that says 'interesting message with face pic attached'? Because if you did you are in the 10% who do. I don't think that my requirements are difficult. Its not even a long profile. But I can guarantee at least twice a day there will be a message saying 'u free tonight?', with no pic attached, from someone 200 miles away. Is it rude not to reply to those people?

I don't think that's always the reason. I don't get hundreds, never have. I get about 10 a week. I've not replied to a new message this year.

Why? Because I'm looking for a specific type of playmate and my profile states I won't respond to anyone outwith what I'm looking for...and I don't!

If people can't read...oh...well! "

hi I've not got a problem with that what Uv just said as you pointed out Uv stated on your profile you won't contact them if not what your looking for.

and if i had read that it wouldn't have bothered me in the slightest if you had just deleted a message.

I apologise if I repeat what others have said, but there were too many responses to read, so I confess that i skipped to the end :P

I still sigh deeply when I see yet another single guy asking the same tired old question of "oh why can people not reply?"

If you were a single female using this site, or hell, a m/f couple for that matter, you'd know the pain in the ass messages we get every single day.

Here is an insight into my check of fab:

- Log in, see there are around 30 messages/winks.

- Delete all winks. No point going through them because usually the person isn't right for me, hence why they winked instead of messaged.

- Scan across messages. Any without a pic attached get deleted without being read. No pic, no contact. What's the point?

- Check pics of other messages. Delete those that don't look anything like my described taste.

- Those who are left, check profile before even reading message. If profile contains little info/is crude/has something I don't like, then delete message without reading.

- Finally read the leftover messages. Delete those which start with "Hey sexy, wanna fuck?" or something like that.

DO you know what I'm left with 6 days out of 7? NO messages left!!

Yes, that is very true. Out of around 30 a day, I get probably around (as an approximation) 2 or 3 a week that fit the criteria on my profile and sound interesting to talk to.

Now, you tell me, should I be expected to reply to say thanks but no thanks to ALL the other timewasting messages sent by people who didn't bother to read my profile or read it and ignored my requested preferences? You say yes?

Ok, let's walk through that eh?

- Reply to say no thank you to the 29 out of 30 messages I've had today.

- Log back on later to find 29 responses by said people asking WHY am I not interested.

- Or, worse than that, find 10 or so replies calling me a fat whore or some such insult because I wasn't interested in them.

So, my decision after all this faffing around?

Never reply to say no thank you and block those that blatantly ignore my criteria so they can't message me again and pester me.

That was an insight into my life on fab. I hope you can now see why most of us don't reply to say no thank you.

Indeed but when it happens over and over (and it has for me) it ruins the whole fab thing. It's meant to be fun on here. Not me getting pissed off at blokes who've told me 'I wouldn't want to meet you anyway you're fat' 'you're up your own arse' 'your only on here coz you can't get laid in real life' etc. spoils it for me so I just delete, I've even put in my profile that I'm sorry I won't reply to all and why.

"Its just rude not to reply to a nice polite message you have received . End of

wow even after everything everyone has said..

so its acceptable to get a barrage of abuse in saying no thanks.. right

I don't do that though never have a never will , I treat people with respect , I have manners .

You may well have manners but lots dont. And seeing as we don't have the luxury of being able to differentiate till its too late it's less hassle to just ignore.

Can understand that , if I get abuse though I just block the numptys"

it isnt about manners and it isnt about u.. accept that people have explained how things happen and want to protect themselves from the troubles.. its less hassle to ignore.. simple fact and nothing to do with u personally

"ok girls thank you for your in put, do realise you get a lot of stick from chaps that about take no as an answer.

and yes i will have to get used to the lack of communication between members. about remember who said i should just leave don't worry did get the joke. . . CHEEKY! lol

hey that's fine by me if they just delete cause iv said Im married, if they havn't

said on profile no married men im not to know am i?. but if they have said i wouldn't contact them anyway .

you have to remember that the fact you are married will mean alot wont reply.. Goes with the territory of being married.

At least you are honest. But alot will read and delete once they see that.

"You've obviously never seen a single girls inbox on here lol then you might understand why they dont have time to be polite!!!!!!!"

Mine only has messages from friends in it or those I've messaged but that's coz I've used filters lol it doesn't have to be so dramatic. If folk stopped worrying about who replied and who didn't and folk stopped worrying about whether people did or didn't read their profile they'd spend less time getting irate about nothing and I suspect, have a lot more fun

"wy is it when you send a polite message they haven't the decency to just say something like thank you but not my type. manners cost nothing do they?

To me it depends who has contacted who first. If i contact a couple or woman first, then i dont automatically expect a reply, as i know some get hundreds of messages a day. But if a couple or woman contacts me first, i expect them to at least have the decency to answer back any reply i send them, even if it's a no thanks.

"Just rude ignorant women mate ..full of then on here.

Funny isn't it how one single comment can earn someone an instant block....

Oh and for the record - I've sent messages to both single men and couples and not received a reply. So it's not just women that do it. "

Same here and I don't expect everyone to reply! None of us are everyone's cup of tea

I don't reply to all. Faceless unfilled profiles I delete straight away, as for guys I'm not interested or attracted too I occasionally message back. Fed up of guys wanting to know why I say no thankyou, or several messages tryin to persuade me it would be worth it. NO is NO. Take it like a man and move on !!!!

If there was as much energy and thought put into messages as there is in the gripes about not replying then I'm sure more of us would reply. We don't reply if we don't feel like it, our choice, deal with it and move on!!

"Ur right, so when a polite no thanks is send its even worse to get name calling and abuse in return!

That's what happens a lot..or people who won't take no for an answer..

Its a lot less hassle to ignore. No is no whether written or not.

Don't take it personally

This happens to me too. I prefer not to block but the fact they can't respect my choices means I was right to turn them down."
do ppl know when there blocked ?

It's definitely far better not to be asked to list the reasons for your justifications why not and certainly good manners if those rejected never ask the reasons why...

dont send many these days and prefer to let those that may be interested find me. just make sure ur pro has all the info in it for those ur trying to attract

if i send a message its a greet, followed by what im looking for/into and ending with if theres any interest get back to me

takes a minute and the balls in their court then

dont pour everything into every msg you send. just keep it simple and to a point

i dont see no replie as a matter of manners but of personal choice . do i respond to every sales call ,peice of junk mail ,junk email or every message i get on here ??? nope ,for the numerous reasons listed above ! if someone wants to respond to every mail on here then fine ,if not then equally fine ! its that persons way of managing their account . what id personally see as ill mannered is anyone dictating what others should do or feeling they have a devine right to get a response because they chosen to mail a person .

when ive sent a message and never recieved a replie ,then take i it the person has no interest in me . silence is a more powerful replie than words ever are .

if I tried to rely to all the "no thanks " people on here id be here all day doing it, the amount of messages u get are rediculous so trying to reply to all of them is impossible so not rude at all just logic really

"ok guys i see this has turned into a witch hunt cause im married!

not to worry conversation is turning nasty but thank you for your replies all the same.

You think that was nasty???? Lol"

I did yes, and against rules as the man hasn't asked for people to discuss his profile.

Got no problem at all with people not replying to messages...it is curious how many people find the time to say the same thing in this topic every time it gets posted, though!

As normal a single male starting a thread gets told what he should be doing and then having his profile dissected for daring to speak.

To the OP....there are some people who answer mails and there are lots of people who don't.

If you accept that you won't get an answer from everyone it will be more enjoyabloe for you on the site.
