FabSwingers.com forum: Read.. then mark as unread.

Noticed a nice tactic a lot of women on here make use of recently.. rather then have a message display as read. Or deleted.

They'll read it. Then mark it as unread.

Not everyone does it. But why would you need/want to be deceitful and sly like that?

Not having a go. Just wanna hear others thought on it.

I wouldn't say it was sly.... we do it all the time, sometimes you haven't got time to reply or just can't be bothered at the moment in time.

They want to come back to it.

It's not personal and aimed at deceiving you.

I do it to remind me to come back later.

I can only speak as a couple of course.

One of us will read before the other and mark it as unread until we are both back from work.

Reasoning for this is so the other doesn’t think it’s someone we have decided isn’t for us etc

I do this when I'm not in the mood for a conversation but fancy chatting to them at another time. Nothing sly or deceitful about it.

I do it and there is nothing deceitful or sly about it! If the profile of the sender is of interest (I look at this first) and the message is longer than I can read without opening and a pic attached I will look. I might not have time at all to reply at that time or want to send a well considered reply. I am saving it for later, if I was not at all interested it would be deleted so I guess as I see it read and saved is good.

Why the parinoid thinking OP?

If one of us reads a message and thinks it's more appropriate for the other to answer it will be marked as unread. Don't see a problem with that.

Its not sly or deceitful. If I haven't the time to engage in conversation, as from experience, many assume a response is an invite to instant sex. Surprisingly not everyone is here to be fucked 24/7. I prefer to not be talking to dozens of men, as I would find that more offending, than an unread message.

We find you get less follow ups if you leave them unread. If you say no thanks, you get asked why, if you read it and delete it, they ask why, if you read it and leave it they send another, if you leave it unread seems to cause less fuss.

I do it so i can have a sneaky look at the message they’ve sent and any pics attached whilst they are offline so i can then reply later when i’ve got more time.

Partially sneaky maybe but meh.

If I do that it means I'm going to consider the message and reply when i have time. That's neither deceitful or sly

I do it because a deleted message everyone knows means not interested. An unread message is, I don't have time to reply to every message, I am not saying a flat no, just not atm.

Why do people think that whoever they send a message to is under an obligation to reply immediately, eventually or even at all? I do understand why some people might use this tactic given how impatient some people can be.

Pretty much what everyone else has said, if i wanted to reply i would click unread to leave it there to reply when i had time, or no one looking over my shoulder.

But if you had messaged me and i see this post I'd probably delete your message now.

There's always one passive aggressive bloke trying to take the high road for brownie points. as I said. It didn't bother me. It's was just an observation I shared. So you won't be pissing me off. And I don't need to be having a word with myself.

Not passive aggressive at all. Where aggression is concerned, it's all or nothing with me, nothing passive about it.

Brownie points? Bitch please

Look who'd having a pop at me, but hasn't uttered a word to the women who said similar things..

It bothered you enough to call people sky and deceitful. Just admit you're wrong.

Or carry on as you are.. no skin off my nose.

If you have more than 1 message in the same tread you can read the text without opening,

Just got to the previous opened on and read through the script and it will appear

firstly I didn't even address you directly. So how was you to know it was you I was talking about... maybe because you was the only one that came back with a person reply attacking me.

Everyone else gave their feedback without trying to be rude..

Your up in the forums giving it the biggun.. all or nothing when it comes to aggression eh.. lol what a clown. You only got balls when you feel it's safe. I know your type well.

you quoted me.. having a word with yourself? Kind of gave it away a bit.

You know nothing about me. Only what I choose to share in here.. which is just a slither of who I really am. You don't even know what sort, trust me.

My balls are firmly attached and swinging freely.

You carry on doing what you do, I'll carry on doing what I do.

Good luck

When we get a lot of messages we flick through them, interesting 1's get marked unread so we can bulk delete the read mail.

Nothing sly about it

How would you know if it's been read if it says unread?

Bloody hell. Can couple's or single woman not do anything right on here for you single guys?

We get slagged for deleting messages, we get slagged off for not replying to messages. Now we're getting slagged off for not reading messages within your personal timeframe.

Then you moan you don't get any meets. Ffs.

We do it in order to allow the other half to read it as well and to see it's a new message before we answer, as we're usually on line at different times of the day. Once we have both read it we will then answer. It's not sly just easier for us Mr
