How often do you receive abusive messages?

Seen over the past few days that a number of people who have mentioned in their status bar they've received unsolicited messages from people sending abuse.
First off, that's obviously uncalled for and please do report them. But I'm curious to know how often others get them?
Is there a specific thing you get abuse for, or is it more just a general attack?
It's a long shot, but I'd like to see if people who have sent these messages actually explain why they do it?

Occasionally I'll get an unsolicited one, usually saying something unkind about my body and they'll have blocked me before I've read it, like a total coward.
More often it's in response to rejection though. |

Idiots
If I get rejected I say thanks for letting me know and good luck no need to abuse people |

I would say more often its abuse after being declined  |

Think this is my 4th year on FAB.
I don't get abusive messages. Possibly less than 10 in 4 years.
Is that down to luck?
Or because I have a "Don't mess with me" vibe?
Or because I don't engage with people who aren't obviously for me, beyond a polite "Nice but not for me" message, if they've put a bit of effort in?
Or because I block and forget persistent messagers once I've sent that message?
Maybe because my public pix don't look like I'm up for allcomers?
Or maybe it's a combination of all of the above.
Whatever, it works for me  |

We've been here about ten years and have received two abusive messages. They both came from the same person who left the site then rejoined. |

Like kitty said it will almost always be as a reaction to being rejected.
Sheer stupidity when a guy calls a girl gorgeous, beautiful etc when he messages her then a fat ugly cow when she says thanks but no thanks (what's that all about) 
And then you get the abusive ones who haven't got to brain cells to rub together and can't come up with a decent debate on the forums so react to pm abuse.

do you reckon that (let's say someone flicked a magic wand) and Fab became a real bar/social setting that the same guy/guys would react to rejection the same way to your face?? |

In almost 10 years I think I've had 3 or 4 abusive messages, and 2 of those were because I was a tad sarcastic with my reply; so I deserved them.

I have no idea. It doesn't really register as abuse. They are probably sex starved or having shit going on in real life.
Had some shit last night but he was upset about real life stuff so *shrug*. |

Occasionally, if I've said something on a forum someone disagrees with.
But then I will give as good back, if it warrants it, but usually just ignore. |

I feel like there's a bit of victim blaming in here to be honest, probably not intentionally but to me it's there. Regardless of what photos someone chooses to post, it doesn't justify someone else abusing them and we shouldn't condone it or say "well if they hadn't posted those photos maybe it wouldn't have happened"
Abuse is not ok, full stop. |

How on earth can they say anything unkind about your body?.... that’s jealousy... you’re gorgeous... would love to have a body like yours!!!
My rude messages are usually when I say no... and it happens quite a lot. |

Nope I'm not saying that at all.
But certain actions elicit certain reactions even in this "enlightened" day and age.
I don't want that kind of attention so I don't put that kind of public pic up.
And my comments apply to either sex.

At the moment, not at all, because my filters don't allow anyone new to message me.
In my first three or four months, it felt pretty constant - like dozens a day.
After that it gradually petered down to a few a week or less.
I don't know what I did apart from beginning to delete rather than reply to say no thank you. I suppose I'd also been around long enough to survive the newbie christening of fire, so maybe people were less inclined to try. |

I don't see that as a hidden insult. Wishing someone good luck is just him being mature and polite about it. I can think of a lot worse responses, like "Your loss" etc. |

Hardly never. But I also hardly never reply so if you don't engage, that reduces the risk I think? |
Reply privately (thread closed by moderator) | |
I haven’t kept count, but it’s a lot. For replying to say no thanks, for not replying, for not having any interaction at all. For my body, for my profile, for the people I’ve met, for being (apparently, and with no idea who either person was) a cunt or a bitch. For meeting too many people, for being too into the party side, for having photos that look like I didn’t take them myself. For existing, mostly. |

I’m not sure the abusers have any call to explain themselves. Abuse is abuse, verbal or otherwise, momentary or prolonged.
“You said no and rejected me therefore I had the right to call you a xxxxxxxx.” Something like that, perhaps? |

I use to get some especially when I first joined a few years ago then I tightened my filters right up so now I don't really get a lot of messages and that's the way I prefer it.
I get the odd faf message but that's not abuse that's just roll your eyes messages and delete. Name calling etc abuse I cannot actually remember the last time I got that it's been well over a year. Most men when I say thanks but no thanks are nice about it.
Any abuse I got in the past anyhow I just deleted I don't see any point in letting someone I will never meet or want to interact with upset me. |

Rarely get any kind of abuse.
Had one take offence to a status we had.
I politely replied expressing the misunderstanding, then received abuse about our profile. |

Only once and that was because we’d never replied and dick though he was entitled to a reply.
Hitting the block button isn’t a hardship. In the case of dicks in my box, it’s a joy |
Reply privately (thread closed by moderator) | |
Don't think we've ever just received one out of the blue but we have had various forms of abuse when we've turned guy down.
We get more disgusting messages than abusive ones but just report or block the senders and move on. |

I think only once from a couple in their 30s (last year) .. Althiugh, i suspect it was the man
I think I'd opened +read their opening message, they got overly excited, assumed a response was forthcoming.. Then when it wasn't, sent a succession of messsages getting more and more abusive and finally ended up telling me that i wasn't even their type and was waaaaay too old for them  i think they blocked me for a while, but then i noticed a daily visit to my page soon after lol
Whatever.. Life is too short |
Reply privately (thread closed by moderator) | |
Never had one, because a) I'm male, b) I've blocked men from messaging me, and c) I pre-emptively block anyone I suspect may be likely to send me abuse. |
