"it allows them to contact who they want to, rather than pestered by fuckwits? " Dude! I know the reason for the filters, that i totally get. Surely you drop them though if and when you put a meet status specifically asking for those you have blocked to contact you? | |||

"I can't see the point in advertising for a meet and blocking the people you want to meet from messaging you. If you don't want messages there's no point advertising." Thank you | |||

"i dont even know what that means. Just cos you want to fuck them doesnt mean they want to fuck you so why would they want a message from you? filtering puts the ball in their court not yours. (you is a generalization, not you specifically) | |||

"I always find it somewhat bemusing when individual or couples advertise meets stating that they want to meet Males yet when you try and message them, you find that Single Males are blocked .
How do you not know your own filter preferences? Bizzare! "They advertise to wish to meet single males but they are not asking single males to message them, they will find the men they want. Posts like this won’t get you meets OP. | |||

"On the flip side, this thread could also be. Why do people put up meets looking for single guys then ignore your messages." How would you know your message has been ignored. One of the first things we do is check out the profile of anyone messaging us (assuming the visible message is more than a generic 'hi'). If we've got stealth mode enabled, you'd never know we'd looked. We might just delete the message without opening it at that point. One of us might have read it and then marked it as unread again for the other to see. If the combo of profile and message doesn't appeal, we might just move on without replying, depending on volume of messages we've had. Your message appearing to be unread and/or deleted doesn't always mean it has been ignored. | |||

Exactly. Profile checked, message read. As per Fab FAQ, no reply = no interest. Not ignored. You are just not necessarily aware of the fact your message and profile were read. | |||

Pretty sure "not interested" would fall into the "disregard intentionally" category, ergo, ignored. Stop talking shite. | |||

"Suit yourself, but imo choosing to disregard the person following a selection process that includes the message, is not, as you originally stated, disregarding the message. It may not be what you intended with your OP, but it's how we read it." its not, i was making the point that if people were arranging meets and not using filters this thread would essentially still be the same thing. | |||

"That filter doesn’t block all single guys. It blocks single guys who aren’t already friends or haven’t had a two way conversation on here. Therefore adding a meet to look for single guys, but still having that filter on, is a way of advertising to your friends that you are looking to meet. It’s really not that difficult.

The no single guys filter is really more of a no more single guys filter | |||
