"About 69 in a few hours. I just let him keep going, waited a few days then blocked. Think it totalled up to over 400 in my inbox, just him. Was amazing" That’s quite weird. V x | |||

"We have a rule 3 'No reply' from us gets you a block. Jo.Xx " Me too. Before I decided to do that, it must have been over 20. Although usually just identical copy pastes. | |||

"Soooooo all those "100's of messages every day" could actually be from just a handful of men. Easy to bulk delete then. So what happens to the small number of thoughtfully composed messages referencing key points in your profile?" If I’m not interested I won’t reply. I read all my messages. I just mark them as unread before deleting | |||

"I know most people would just block him but I'm actually interested to see how many messages I continue to get, I have had 7 in under 24 hours without me responding at all, it's strange how people think they'll just send another message and maybe get a response if somebody obviously hasn't responded to the other ones. " I had this exact conversation with a friend recently, after getting 11 messages accross 1 day from someone. I wasn't even online. I decided to see what would happen. It's now been almost 2wks & we're on message 25! | |||

"The one's that crack us up are the one's where a guy ( sorry chaps but it's pretty much guys who do this sure there must be more than a few women who are loon's but in general it's men) He messages Mrs doesn't reply maybe ten messages later he gives up. A month or two goes past Receive a message from same guy. Hey remember me,how are you? We spoke a few months ago and was planning a meet are you still interested? Mrs hasn't got the best memory recall and fall's for this one time and again and replies, suddenly you can't get ride of him. The strange thing is this and I'm sure fems and couples will confirm this. Many guy's use the same tactics as described above and others. My question is, Is there a secret forum or chatroom where oddballs exchange ideas on how to harass and intimidate and generally be a pest?" I hate the whole ‘we spoke before’ because they can see the wee summary. I usually reply with ‘no, we haven’t spoken. I told you I wasn’t interested, that doesn’t count as a conversation. Same applies here ’ | |||

"Soooooo all those "100's of messages every day" could actually be from just a handful of men. Easy to bulk delete then. So what happens to the small number of thoughtfully composed messages referencing key points in your profile?" It's usually not. And I never know which nice, thoughtful polite message will not take no for an answer or escalate to abuse or threats if I decline. So blanket rule applies. | |||

Sometimes I’ll let the messages gather for a week then on a quiet evening, open them all, leave them as read and bulk delete. Just depends. And the content of a first message isn’t irrelevant. | |||

"It's an interesting question. I know I'm not answering the question directly but I would like to make a point if I may to this thread. For me, I will always reply to each message I receive because I think that's courteous. On the other side, I'm sure women on here receive lots of messages so I do understand if they do not reply to each message so that's reasonable and after all that's their choice, they do not have to reply to anyone. However, I think that if a guy has taken the time to write a nice reply with some meaningful content that is not a copy and paste or a one liner like do you want to fuck me, or great tits etc, then a reply would not harm. It may also help him understand why you do not want to meet so may help him in the long run when replying to folk. Having said that, if the person in question is receiving many messages from many folk or many messages from the same person, then I understand that they may not reply or they just block them, it's their choice. If only the ratio on FS regarding men versus women was more equal... " A response isn’t needed if one isn’t interested. All it does for some men is give them a green light to send more messages with “why not” “you won’t regret it” and the rest. Besides, what may be meaningful to you, may not be meaningful to me. Also guys can send a “meaningful” message which has been copied and pasted and all they do isn’t change the name. I’d much rather spend my time focusing on those I’m actually interested in. | |||

"Soooooo all those "100's of messages every day" could actually be from just a handful of men. Easy to bulk delete then. So what happens to the small number of thoughtfully composed messages referencing key points in your profile?" Actually no. These guys who send 20/30 messaged in a few hours are a small minority, for me anyway. The rest are different guys. When I got to Number 1 on Hot Photos I had over 1100 messages... I deleted the ones I wasn’t interested in (most) and replied to the ones I was interested in. Someone I’m not interested in sending a “thoughtfully composed message” doesn’t mean I have to reply. | |||

No is a starting point for negotiation, rather than final. | |||

"I’m confused, I thought everyone was blocked from sending a message to anyone twice within a month if no reply was received, the same with winks?" Not messages. And you can send more winks/friend requests if the person receiving them has deleted your wink/friend request. Which is why I just ignore mine | |||

V x " Thing is, the first 80 odd or so were questions, compliments and then a load of question marks. Then it was loaaaaads of abuse. Then it was the ‘well I’m God’s gift to women so you’re lucky I’d even consider you’. Then it was grovelling apologies It was quite an experience, I would read the messages every few minutes because when I clicked on them they would just fall off the screen! | |||

" Little tip to help with that one - when you receive a message from someone that you're not interested in - make a Private Note on their profile of the date and even copy/paste their message there - acts as a point of reference if they message again | |||

"Must be either so funny or frustrating for single ladies on here. To send that many messages is just mad. Then to get angry or rude when you don't answer. I'll generally send a little wink to see if any interest and a message. If I hear nothing back just assume she's not interested and move on. I know guys messages get lost in the hundreds of others sent to ladies so expect less replies. Wish I was as popular lol. The curse of the single guy on fab (the fake profiles and time wasters ruin it for the genuine ones). " Very well said - couldn’t have put it better myself | |||

"Isn't this just another thread shaming predominantly males? Not that gender matters of course." No. Speaking as the male half of the couple I am usually one of the first ones on the forum defending guys. However in this case it's justified criticism. On my wife's single profile she has had many guys as described by the op. If you ever have the chance to sit with a female friend and read her profile for a few days you will understand. Until we started swinging we had absolutely no idea how needy men are. | |||

Oh I know the issues women have on here with a certain type of men, but whatever you say about them on here isn't going to have any positive effect on them. I just don't understand the need to let the number of messages from one person build up. Surely you just block them? | |||

I just think that any 'normal' person wouldn't be sending this number of messages to anyone, so there's a possiblity of mental health issues with these types of repay messagers. Let's try being kind. I now sound like a hippy | |||

That’s what I did when I finally got onto to Fab and saw all the messages, I did it straight away. I usually block straight away, however some of these people, I’ll say people as I’ve had a female do it too, will make a brand new profile, just to message you abuse again & again & again. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has been on the receiving end of that sort of thing. I usually block & report and continue to do so every time they make a new profile. It got so bad at one point I hid my profile, and made my filters 98-99, and blocked every gender, couples etc from messaging for a good few weeks so they could give up. | |||
