"Rather than read your message some women click on your profile first. If they don't like that why bother reading the message? Maybe ask for profile advice if this isn't a one off ![]() this... I always click on the profile before reading. Unless its a cock photo profile picture then I just ignore... If the profile is okay.. we may read the message then.. but if not for us at all we will block after saying not for us... unless totally ignored our profile then we just block. | |||

"I am a great believer in a polite "no thank you". Profiles & criterias arent necessarily all encompassing. For instance the first things i check in no particular order are: 1. Can you accom. 2. Do you smoke. 3. How tall/ short are you. 4. Hair colour 5. Sexuality 6. Spelling & grammar I am not interested in cock pics or heavily loaded sexually loaded text messages. These will get a block. Happy swinging Mrs _d40" Thank you I do feel if you can take the time to block someone then surely you have the time to say a polite 'no thanks'. HG | |||

" I do feel if you can take the time to block someone then surely you have the time to say a polite 'no thanks'. HG" We pretty much had this question yesterday on a "frisky" posted forum question. I thought a button "thanks but no" with delete message and block, would solve & stop any abuse "why not". Some argued the point, why would they waste their time, answering anything, they had no interest in, just delete. Others, said they used message filters to block certain types contacting them anyway. It's their choice. | |||

If they reply to the no thanks with anything along the lines of 'why' then block away. Admittedly I am looking at this from my perspective with hardly any messages, I know some of you guys and girls get 100's !! HG | |||

" Admittedly I am looking at this from my perspective with hardly any messages, I know some of you guys and girls get 100's !! HG" Yup. I have been on for, what, 20mins today? And I have had 23 messages. You just can't reply to them all. And, if they are from knobs who chat shit and don't pay attention to my preferences, I will block them. | |||

Maybe I've read Fab wrong in that I thought people would be honest and open." https://www.fabswingers.com/my/privacy Top of the list. Nothing to do with honesty and everything to do with being able to browse profiles without all and sundry asking you why you don't message them. learn to use the site tools. | |||

"Maybe delete your sent box to avoid stalking people you've messaged. As stated above, she probably looked at your profile and thought 'not for me', and blocked so she didn't have to deal with an uncomfortable conversation when you quizzed her as to why she didn't want to meet. You may think you fulfil her criteria, but how do you know you do? She chose not to reply - move on." I don't stalk people and I don't follow up with a conversation as to why they haven't replied. How could they reply if the havent even read my original message. If you re read my original posting you will see I'm trying to understand why someone blocks without _iewing my profile or reading my message. | |||

"You can unread read messages, you can look at profiles without being known to have done so... there are quite a few things people can do. How do you do that. Maybe I've read Fab wrong in that I thought people would be honest and open." It's got nothing to do with dishonesty or lack of openness (and frankly I fail to see how either come into play here) and everything to do with utilising the site's tools to suit the needs of the individual. If the ability to look in stealth mode didn't exist there are a number of single males that would immediately pounce on anyone looking at them, taking it as a sign of interest. Likewise with marking mails as unread there are some here that would pounce as soon as a message was read demanding to know why a reply hadn't been sent. In fact I know of someone that was sent a message and 20 mins later received a second one asking why it had not been read yet!! Starting to get the picture OP? | |||

And you've been told several times that she has,, in all likelihood, both read your message and your profile, and decided not to meet. Stop obsessing about the messages you send and concentrate on the ones you receive. | |||

"Don't you block women you don't like? " No I don't block women I don't like. What is the point in that? I'm straight but I still get guys messaging asking to suck I my cock. I always reply and say thank you but no thank you. It's called being courteous | |||

I always reply and say thank you but no thank you. It's called being courteous " From the site FAQs https://www.fabswingers.com/articles/FAQ#noreply It's not rude not to reply. Some ladies and couples get hundreds of messages a day so it simply isn't possible for them to reply to everyone. If you don't get a response, you should assume they aren't interested. If you're getting a lot of "no-replies" then you should consider your profile and the messages you send. Are they giving the right message? Are you standing out from the thousands of other guys on here? | |||

"I read messages. I check profile. If i get a good vibe from pic and profile text i will reply. If the profile text makes the fella sound like a weird psycho then i block. Just because i'm on a sex site it doesn't mean my legs part like the Red Sea on Miracle day. And if youndon't block you get endless messages asking why haven't you replied, or they call you names because you're not grateful to receive their attention. And we get shitloads of messages. SHITLOADS. If we responded to each and every message we'd need to employ admin staff and an IT team. Just stop overthinking it men will you? It's not necessarily you, maybe we just can't be arsed. Arrrrghhh! But they haven't evening read the sodiing message or apparently _iewed my profile. Ok if there is a stealth mode on Fab then I'm not privy to it. I would like to be. " | |||

How do you know that? Probably _iewed in stealth mode, read message, set to unread and delete. Easy enough to do. | |||

"The following is aimed at single females who have blocked single guys. I'd like to know what your thought process is following the scenario below:- I read your profile. I ensure I meet all your criteria. I'm within your age range and I'm local to you. I construct a well thought out, polite, message telling you a bit about myself and suggesting perhaps we can meet. I attach a face pic and duly send the message. Days later, no reply ( fair enough we all have lives outside of fab) I not my message hasn't been read. I click on your profile to find that I've been blocked by you. You haven't read my message or even _iewed my profile so you know absolutely zilch about me. I would like some feedback, from those women who have done this, as to why. I'd like to add that this is not an isolated incident." They probably have show me on who _iewed my profile turned off, looked at your profile and decided you were not for them. Move on | |||

"Right everone. I think we can draw a line under this topic. Thank you for all your input. Now I've discovered stealth mode it answers a lot of questions. Stealth mode does seem a bit creepy but if that's the deal then I get it. Ps to quote one of the posters..... Does anyone fancy a fuck? " Finally! ![]() ![]() | |||
