As a single guy you get used to rejection on here quite easily, whether its no replies or deleted messages. Move on and keep trying.

Last night, answered a post for a meet, exchanged half a dozen messages and spoke to male half of couple and awaited address details. Nothing came so messaged as no phone number; no reply. Been told was invited so tried again. Message read but no apology, no sorry but no thanks etc. End up asking politely and being concerned then...Blocked!!

Surely users of Fab should be at least courteous and indicate where firm offers are withdrawn? Sincerely hope they enjoyed themselves, just feel manners would help!!

Sounds like either they cancelled or they kept you on the hook then went with what they thought was a better offer. It sucks, and they should have told you, but I'm afraid some people are total wankers. Best advice I can give you is next time assume no news means it's not going to happen, and don't lower yourself by sending multiple 'chasing' messages.

Your starting to learn that guys on here no matter how genuine are just a commodity.

And like all commodities the more there is the less value placed upon them .

It was most likely a man posing as a couple. That happens a lot on the site, and is very irritating but can be avoided by polite but firm insistence on speaking to or Skyping both parties.

I've deflected quite a few fakes that way on here

It was a genuine verified couple folks. Been on here long enough to spot fakes etc.

Just depressingly bad manners. Have been on other end of letdowns too.

Oh well, back to my fave lady lol.

Some people treat single guys as commodities, I agree, but there are plenty, like us, who treat them with respect.

I have had this a couple of times, people asking or posting for meets, keep you hanging on. but now If I do not get a reply at least four hours before then I don't chase and if they message me, sorry but made other plans as they left it too late.

I might be single but I am still having fun--in my time.

This!

Sadly until the landscape is one day even for all (guys, girls, couples) then single guys will continue to be treated as dispensable/exchangeable/disregardable tissue: use it or not, bin it when done with it.

Nonsense! I have never seen single guys as dispensable/exchangable/disregardable... some people maybe do, but to say thats how single guys is seen is just as dismissive as males saying all single females on here are fakes.

I appreciate your perspective, but you haven't seen some of the emails I've had over the years, how some people view and treat single guys - guys are basically expected to jump through hoops, and if they don't comply they are "binned" for the next one that happily will. Yeah, its sad

Agreed..my preference is for MMF three ways..we had an amazing one last week,single guys are not commodities in our eyes.they are essential to our fun on here..although this place is rammed with them so we do get to pick and choose..

Back to the original post though..we'd never ignore,and block someone.if we cant make it,and there has been a couple of occasion where mother nature has decided to show her face earlier than normal then we have told them.

Sending a text saying sorry is a piece of piss..

But you put yourselves in that position...you choose to be here, nobody is forcing you to stay...what exactly is it you're looking for?

Men here seem to complain if they can't get fucked and then complain when they do...

And nor have you seen the ones in my inbox, but its not tit for tat. You stated that "Sadly until the landscape is one day even for all (guys, girls, couples) then single guys will continue to be treated as dispensable/exchangeable/disregardable tissue: use it or not, bin it when done with it" which implies everyone treats single guys like that, anyway we digress.

OP, if I change my mind, I always let people know. Sometimes things do come up, and real life gets in the way. And sometimes people have put me off meeting with something they say, and again I let them know about that too.

Treat others how you wish to be treated is my motto.

The clue is in the first few lines of you OP!

You exchanged msgs with a couple but only spoke to the male half, you should of realised at that point it wasn't going any further.

Lesson learned hopefully and time to look again x

Disagree with this, I (the female half) am the only one of us who sends messages, my hubs only gives the final yes or no. Unfortunately some couples/singles can be arseholes, it's the same in any walk of life. Put it down to a rubbish experience and don't let it phase you

so you wouldn't confirm a genuine meet with a quick

phone call to prove your a willing participant?

We never put up meet requests for a start, we talk to people, get to know them and when we get free time we meet them. The fact we have a couples profile (and have been verified) shows we are both willing participants as you put it.

You don't like all men on here being judged by the few bad ones, I'm sure, so please don't tar everyone else with the same brush.

Some of us value the decent men. Speaking purely for myself though, bitterness and self-pity have me moving on to the next man, pronto. Behaving the same way towards other site members as you resent being treated yourself is also not an endearing trait.
