"No idea if there's an increase in it as I haven't received any in a long time. I have seen very familiar words and phrases used in status updates and forum posts recently though from people who have been victims of some form of verbal abuse or claims of people talking about them.

"Hi just wondering, with the increasing number of posts I see, why oh why do people get abusive when they are told “sorry not interested”. I have been talking to a couple of ladies/couples and they say it happens quite a bit, but I just can’t understand why. If you are told in a nice way “not for me” as I recently was then why give the person a load of old guff, just move on. I thought a couple were very rude to me saying that because I was an adult and I lived alone, it was weird that I couldn’t host them. I could have given a load of abuse but just told them my situation as a single father, thanked them for the reply and haven’t heard from them again. No harm no foul in my opinion and definitely no need for abuse. " Don't be surprised if this thread gets taken down. Thou shall not speak ill of FAB. | |||

I can't say I've seen any noticeable increase in either tbh. " There used to be about 1-2 post per week about someone being a bellend now its near every day saying “avoid this and that”.

"I had some horrible messages last week not that they bother me ,but I did notice all the men were older men 54+ A no thanks resulted in being called a c**t. Cus that will make a girl change her mind ." Jaysus, I'm glad I'm not an ould lad like that! Oh wait... | |||
"I had some horrible messages last week not that they bother me ,but I did notice all the men were older men 54+ A no thanks resulted in being called a c**t.

" 47 reply’s and some are from the same people hardly represents the whole of fab, just a very small percentage I would think. Just last night I seen a status update about such and such doesn’t like you saying no and became abusive, went to find it today and couldn’t so perhaps either they are getting removed or people update the post, think it’s removed after 3 days anyway are they not so ya can’t really check back that far. Just saying that I can’t get my head round why the great entitled people just can’t move on and dish out abuse that’s all, hope I haven’t touched a nerve there | |||

"As most above have said ,just block and move on ! Had a guy not so long ago that I'd been chatting to and altho I explained to him we wherent meeting as stated on our profile ,eventually because I wouldnt sucumm to his charms ,he accused me of being the male half of us here without (My Knowledge ),I couldn't give a fiddlers so I just blocked him." this has happened to us on here enough of times don’t bother | |||

"For some people who want to ignore the abuse or say they haven’t experienced it or just want to sit with their head up their own backside and say they haven’t seen it, I have calculated a few figures that say it is rife and is happening. I have had 2 meets from this site and both said they received it after a quick no thanks. I’m currently chatting not meeting 3 people and they all said they have had it from people so that’s 100% of people I know on here. Still wanna sit in the dark then take this thread as a small part of fab as an example. Out of 51 messages from 24 different sources 17 say yes they have experienced it = 72.%. 5 say they have not received any = 20% and 2 said they know about it and have seen it but not to them = 8%. Just because you don’t see it or experience it doesn’t mean it’s not happening. I like to breathe oxygen even though I can’t see it I’m glad it is there . Just saying have a great day peeps it’s hump day " Yes it does happen on here. No it's not rife but it does happen. Filters really help with it though so does ignoring it and blocking the people when it does happen. How exactly do you want people to react to it. Cry, get upset that some random asshole on here gave them abuse ? It is easier just to roll you eyes and block them.Fab like any other internet site will have assholes and trolls who abuse and get a kick out of that. To be shocked when it happens is naive at best .All you can do is control your reaction to it it's that simple. People using virtue signalling as a way to prove they aren't like all those nasty people is almost as bad to me and I quite often have found on here those that do are hypocrites as well. And this is a comment not aimed at the op but just my personal experience on here. | |||

"In fairness anyone that is on fab a long time knows that some abuse happens. Good filters and learning how to use the block button reduces it a lot. Both men and women that join here learn fast that you need to grow a thick skin to survive here. But I also wouldn't call it rife. Its like everything. There are always a few bad apples trying to ruin everyone's fun. It's best to just block, report and move on. " I have lots of filters on so abuse is nil. In my previous fab life I did get grief and that did concern me enough to leave for a while. Would I stay if I was getting lots of abuse even with filters on? Definately not. I wouldn't get or take it in real life so why would I stay on a site and read abusive messages from faceless keyboard warriors who can't accept you don't want to communicate with them never mind shag them? Just my opinion. | |||

You said there was an increase in posts about this issue, presumably meaning forum posts, which I said I haven't noticed. You now seem to be talking about abuse by pm which I'm going to assume happens, rather than posts about it. The two are different things in my mind. I genuinely read your original post as a "hey, why can't other men be as cool as me" type post but maybe I'm being harsh? Everywhere there are humans, there will be rows and ructions. Here is no different. | |||

I have been talking to a couple of ladies/couples and they say it happens quite a bit, but I just can’t understand why. If you are told in a nice way “not for me” as I recently was then why give the person a load of old guff, just move on. I thought a couple were very rude to me saying that because I was an adult and I lived alone, it was weird that I couldn’t host them. I could have given a load of abuse but just told them my situation as a single father, thanked them for the reply and haven’t heard from them again. No harm no foul in my opinion and definitely no need for abuse. Like yourself op I'm always happy to answer and explain my situation to those who ask. And as such I haven't had any abusive messages. No reply or deleted message fine I'll just move on. As for the ones doing that, as another poster has said, they're most likely from entitled types, who are easily avoided if you read the bios and pay heed to the forums. Maybe given the fact that most people who replied here said that they don't get abused, Just maybe this abuse isn't actually taking place. 47 reply’s and some are from the same people hardly represents the whole of fab, just a very small percentage I would think. Just last night I seen a status update about such and such doesn’t like you saying no and became abusive, went to find it today and couldn’t so perhaps either they are getting removed or people update the post, think it’s removed after 3 days anyway are they not so ya can’t really check back that far. Just saying that I can’t get my head round why the great entitled people just can’t move on and dish out abuse that’s all, hope I haven’t touched a nerve there " Status naming anyone isn't allowed... I'm sure you know Doesn't represent the whole of fab .. as you can see above ... "most people who replied" Hey , far from me to stop you going on about an issue that seems not to be too big of an issue... get if off your chest sure | |||

"For some people who want to ignore the abuse or say they haven’t experienced it or just want to sit with their head up their own backside and say they haven’t seen it, I have calculated a few figures that say it is rife and is happening. I have had 2 meets from this site and both said they received it after a quick no thanks. I’m currently chatting not meeting 3 people and they all said they have had it from people so that’s 100% of people I know on here. Still wanna sit in the dark then take this thread as a small part of fab as an example. Out of 51 messages from 24 different sources 17 say yes they have experienced it = 72.%. 5 say they have not received any = 20% and 2 said they know about it and have seen it but not to them = 8%. Just because you don’t see it or experience it doesn’t mean it’s not happening. I like to breathe oxygen even though I can’t see it I’m glad it is there . Just saying have a great day peeps it’s hump day " I don't think anybody is saying it doesn't happen rather the responses are inferring it doesn't happen as catastrophically often as imagined. | |||

Just saying have a great day peeps it’s hump day Well you have men confused at least. You said there was an increase in posts about this issue, presumably meaning forum posts, which I said I haven't noticed. You now seem to be talking about abuse by pm which I'm going to assume happens, rather than posts about it. The two are different things in my mind. I genuinely read your original post as a "hey, why can't other men be as cool as me" type post but maybe I'm being harsh? Everywhere there are humans, there will be rows and ructions. Here is no different. " Soz I’m not very social media savvy from I left Facebook over 10 years ago so I get status update PM and post mixed up and when I say I’m not cool at all I really mean that lol so don’t be as cool as me. I didn’t say men either (although we appear to be the main abusers) I said people . What I like is a discussion that provokes debate and thought. Who knows someone that may have read this post/thread will actually think twice before they fat shame or beauty shame some one, after all they don’t know that persons story. # walkamileintheirshoes. | |||

"Just on a slight tangent. My Willow has spent the week getting abused by other women in her work place. Willow is so chill like! Now she has had to attend a staff party and she's currently getting ignored.... I hate abusive people. I was bullied in work once by a CNUT and I'm so sorry I didn't fuck her out of it. People can suck, people can be so hurtful. WHY? Lifes hard enough like. Rant over, apologies " Sorry to hear that Willow is going through that. Hopefully she's doing good beside's. (I'm going to get abusive for saying this, more than likely) It's not nice, when it's happening alright. I've gone through it at work meself aswell. With a young non national guy(mainly). He'd be banging & shouting, looking for something, just like a spoiled toddler in a shop. I told the supervisor about it twice & to get him to stop. They didn't take any heed of me. Until 1 day I lost it with him(so to speak). The supervisor was standing right beside me, while I was talking to him. They had there hand right against my left arm. They must have thought I was going to hit him at some point. Just as I was finishing up, I told him to grown up to FECK. Walked(I was shaking by this stage) away back to where I work. Within minutes the main supervisor was at me & asked me what's up etc. I told him, he had a chat with the young guy about it. He stopped talking to me for a few weeks. When he did start talking to me again, he was alot quiter & wasn't doing what he was doing at the time. Until 2 months ago, he was starting at it again. I was talking to the main supervisor & told him. He's starting up again & I wouldn't be aloud to do the same thing to him. So why should he be aloud do it to me. I had been putting up with it for the past 3 year's on & off, at this stage. Again the young guy stopped talking to me for a few weeks. He talks abit to me now again. He's stopped doing what he was doing, that caused it all in the first place. Caused of it, I just do my day's work & go home. I don't go near any event's that's work related. I don't talk to many of the other people that work in the place. Now I must pick up all my toys again & put them back in the pram(for now). | |||

No one deserves too be treated like this But they are out there,but these people have more often than not been treated like this at one stage or another in their lives No excuse for them to treat people in this way but they probably think that it’s a way for them to gain power or authority don’t let them make you unhappy The people that love you know the difference you make too their lives | |||

No they don't & yes they are out there alright. Maybe they have been alright. As about the power past, yes, it's away of getting power over certain people alright. Where I work, there's so many non national's, from different Countries. That it's not in they, the way they act, work, etc. It's completely different to the way the Irish work. (SOME) of young Irish aren't much better than them in some ways, sadly. They're not, believe me. That's why I just don't go near them outside of work. The people that love me, hopefully they do, that's all I'll say. | |||

"It was intended for both posts really don’t let these people if they are young or old get you down Your life is for you too live no matter what their objective is especially in a work scenario Live your life how you choose to live it no one deserves abuse " O right. Ya that's true alright. Life can be hard enough for some people & it's to short aswell at that. | |||

"Guys I got a loooottttt of abuse from a manager when I was a supervisor saying a wasn't meeting targets and the like. Other supervisors had smaller targets/areas and were worse than I was at the job but because I was the new guy he thought he could bully me. I just kept a wee journal of conversations and emails then went to HR with it and it calmed down a bit but when our contract changed I stayed and he had to go, many a day I felt like letting him fell the back of me hand it got so bad but I bit my tongue and held my nerve. I know he was pushing me to strike out and as soon as I would have done that he would have won and I would have been the abuser in the firms eyes so would have been sacked. My advice to anyone going through it at work is keep a journal and note everything down and keep emails. If you don’t get any satisfaction from supervisors then go above their heads. Bullying is a serious issue and I can’t stand a bully. " That shouldn't have happened. But it did, you handled it 100% right . I hadn't started a journal, keeping record of what was happening to me, in anyway. Before I fronted him, if he didn't stop after that day. I was going to start & have the supervisor in it aswell. We had a day's (training)about bullying & different thing's. The main supervisor & the supervisor were at, the same time as me. About 2 week's, before I said anything to the supervisor. Also he would do it in front of them, at time's aswell. Ya, that's true alright. Once you had hit him, you were gone & he would have won(Big time). It takes something SERIOUS for me, personally to have hit him or anybody else. Ya, exactly, start a journal ASAP, talk to the supervisor about it first. If nothing happens afterwards. But that in it aswell, after awhile go straight to the HR manager or even management. Ya, bullying is a very big thing in some work places still. Also your not alone EVER, even when it feels like that, talk to somebody else in your life. | |||
