Would appreciate some opinions on the etiquette around messaging on fab. As a background, I've been on here as a single guy (ugh) and in two couples, so have experienced both sides of the coin.
As great as fab can be, one of the more disheartening aspects I find is the lack of response to messages. I totally understand that there would be no desire to reply to someone who clearly hasn't bothered, but when you've gone to the effort of writing a personalised message to someone, following the recipient's individual instructions ("put the word "gandalf" in the subject, don't write too much, don't put one sentence responses, tell me what you want to do to me, don't tell me what you want to do to me, include a face pic, include a picture of your cock, don't include a picture of your cock, show me your left earlobe" etc), it can feel like a real kick in the balls to have that message deleted without response.
I totally get that couples and single women (especially single women!) get a lot of messages, but certainly from my experience in a couple I made sure we responded to every one, even if it was just a polite "thanks but not interested" reply (and before you ask yes we did get a lot of messages, unlike me the female half of these couples were actually very attractive lol).
Perhaps there should be the option for a "thanks but no thanks" button on fab?
In my opinion it's rude not to reply, but I get that I'm coming at it from a very different perspective. What does everyone think? |
New to the forums and not seen this discussed before. My bad!
