We always see posts on here from single guys asking why they don't get replies.

Yesterday we had a guy wink us. We said thanks.

He said he wanted to know if there was any chance of meeting.

We have a clear profile. Very clear.

We were simply being polite and replying for a change.

For the life of us we cannot figure out how being polite becomes 'We will change our choices just for you"

We were asked where we are as he regularly comes by the Midlands and would love to meet up. Why? We clearly say no single guys.

The guy, you know who you are. But there are LOADS like you.

And guys wonder why couples don't reply??

You really don't know??

Do lots of other people get this shit???

We ended up having to block single guys… which is really sad because there are lots that are lovely and we’d like to chat to… but it got overwhelming and some can be quite rude and nasty…

We find.. most see a picture and instantly send a message without reading our profile.. We get loads of messages directed straight to her..yet it clearly states on our profile, she never comes on here..because she has no interest in the admin side of swinging she leave all that to me.

We have single guys blocked too.

The amount of messages that just don’t match our needs and wants is overwhelming at times. Much easier to block and find then ourselves. No one will ever change what someone is looking for.

The shame is?

Why can't they just read and respect profiles.

Nothing wrong in making polite conversation, but they never leave it as that do they?

Rightly or wrongly, I’m guessing that a lot of chaps would make the assumption that there was interest if they got a message response from a wink. Your options are to either not respond to the wink and block that person to prevent any more interaction, or block men entirely. There will always be those that skip to the pictures and press send message without thinking.

Tbh had this in the past, so I'd just ignore now to save this type of assumption.

Same when they send a compliment, if you reply, it inevitably ends up with them asking about meets etc.

On our couple account, we don't meet men,it's couples only, so we have them blocked.

I hope this isn’t going to turn into a pile-on for single men?

Some single men (and some couples for that matter) don’t read profiles and message regardless. I’ve learnt after a few months here to be VERY clear in my profile what I’m looking for. And what I’m not after and thus won’t reply to certain messages. I still get them of course, but I feel a lot better about not replying. It’s just the numbers. Lots of single men are absolutely fine and respectful.

It’s not just single guys, couples & females don’t read profiles either. You learn to skim, ignore and delete rather than replying, for an easier life.

My filters have been down two weeks now and I can’t wait to put them back up again and back to blissful inbox.

Simple question. Are they all stupid??

That is a ridiculous assumption.

There is a 'NO' in the profile. If this was a club and face to face, a guy behaving like this would be thrown out.

If it was in a pub, and someone wouldn't take no for an answer, then it could well end up nasty.

Is it because they can hide behind a screen here??

I like to think I read bios and be respectful in my messages. Rarely attatch a photo unless requested in profile. Still get ignored more than replied.

I'd rather be told they're not interested than simply dismissed.

I get that most couples, women will be inundated with messages but, still... its nice to be nice!

I have single men blocked as I don’t wish to meet them. That was simple.

However I get a large number of messages from couples that haven’t read my profile, should we vilify them too? They turn abusive pretty quick.

I am no way condoning rude or abusive messages, but they aren’t exclusively the preserve of single men.

I think most single men would prefer it if the people that did not meet them, blocked them. If you do wish to meet them, like I wish to meet couples, then unfortunately we have to accept a few bad apples when it comes to rejection.

If they are getting this bent out of shape over receiving an internet wink on an anonymous sex site where they display naked pictures of themselves then I don’t think the problem is that simple to fix.

Not going to lie, these comments regarding men being stupid are just downright nasty and uncalled for. If you don’t like winks or single men messaging you, just put your filters up so none of us can message you, there’s a very simple solution to the problem. You can’t fault a man for replying to a message that you sent first off the back his wink.

If you block us, then not only can we not message but cannot send winks either.

OP if you don’t like winks or messages from single guys, you could have used the site tools to block messages (which also blocks winks) from single men.

These tools have been created for your benefit, choosing not to use them, and then complaining you receive unwanted attention seems a little, how did you say………

A wink doesn’t really require a response unless you are interested. I state I ignore winks yet still get many a day. I feel no guilt ignoring them. Messages however I try to reply unless they have obviously not read my profile, that is on them! There are many single men who are polite, read the profile and for whatever reason I’m not interested…. I will reply to those as I think it must be pretty deflating when they’ve done all they have been asked and get deleted. I never get hassle off those ones.

I’ve been here ten years. I very rarely send a message to anyone (half a dozen a year, if that). I always aim to read the profile fully, and only message if I get a strong feeling it will go down well.

Even then, there’s been occasions when l’ve sent something and gone “oh, bugger, I forget they said A, B or C”. It happens - probably because we all rush around far too fast these days and are Fabbing on our short breaks at work to relieve stress .

I totally get single guys can be a pain - I have friends who’ve shown me the messages. I don’t think it rudeness or arrogance often, more being swept away by the wonders of Fab that are tantalisingly out of reach. More excitement and not thinking clearly and slowly, I guess.

I think a lot of the problems on this site (and probably life in general) is that we all have slightly different ideas about what certain behaviors and even words mean. If we all took the time to think about why someone is behaving differently to how we feel they should and tried to understand that they my see what we have said and done in a different way to what we intended then there would likely be less annoyance at others.

I have to agree with this

If you aren't interested in meeting the winker, ignore them. If you message they think they are in with a chance, and then because you have mailed them they can now bypass the no single male message filter in the future.

I can honestly say 100% i read ever profile before deciding to message.

Im not interested in males and make it clear on my profile yet i still occasionally get messages from males asking if i want a Bj, I don't reply and they get blocked straight away.

And i reckon its only the males do this, I can't see females having the same mindset.

Agree with this, the majority that message me and I turn them down are often polite afterwards. Even the straight ones who haven’t read my profile either.

I don’t respond to winks from people I’m not interested in meeting, if I did, I’d expect they would think I was interested in them.

Thanks from a well crafted message then I’d understand, but from a wink, why bother ?

A quote from Beyond Purity a few replies above.

“It’s a response. A wink is an expression of interest - you responded and not in a negative way. So you’ve invited further contact.”

It would have been different in my opinion if you had thanked him and told him that you weren’t interested.

Regardless of what it says on your profile, you’ve messaged him off a wink and left it open. I’m just playing devils advocate but he doesn’t know if he’s an exception. He could have read your profile and chanced it or he might not have.

I think the mixed signal is that you have sent a message to someone that you have no interest in.

Some people on the site are rude. Some people don’t read profiles. Lots of people are actually very nice and do read profiles. It takes a while to figure out how to use the site to enjoy it - fiddling with profile, filters and settings. Worth doing IMO.

There are warnings. If I try to send a message to someone who doesn’t want to meet women there’s a large warning. If you try to send a message to someone who hasn’t replied t your first message - also a warning.

Absolutely

I had a major moment with this years after joining. I Fab quite a lot of photos - I do photography, so it’s partly that, but also just if they are a turn on.

To me it meant “that’s a photo I like”, nothing more. Years later, I realised that some people saw it as another way of registering interest, and were sometimes not happy about that.

Why would you even message someone to say thanks for sending you a wink? A wink is to gauge interest without the person having to send a message. By messaging them you’re suggesting that you want to start a conversation. If I was the dude that winked I’d say why you fucking messaging me then if you don’t want to start some sort of convo.

I was having a similar conversation yesterday. It’s very easy to become disillusioned with those that ignore profiles and are chancing things.

It’s the ones that you don’t hear from, the respectful ones that read, that follow preferences and accept distance or wants. The ones that you don’t hear from are ‘the good ones’.

It’s easy to dismiss guys as pestering and annoying but it’s in the silence that the music is found

We are not looking for single guys, and state so clearly on our profile.

We don’t get many messages from single guys, but we get a few. One, quite recently acknowledged that while our profile stated we were not looking for single guys, perhaps he was the exception? Guess what, he wasn’t. Another, who sent a very detailed and polite message, admitted when asked the he was “trying his luck”. In most cases, single guys who send unsolicited messages trying to meet are blocked without reply.

Our experience suggests those single guys who message either haven’t read our profile, or have narcissistic tendencies and believe they are so exceptional that the rules and preferences don’t apply to them.

What people operating with that mindset don’t get is this: if you don’t accept our boundaries before a meet, how likely are you to accept them during a meet?

We have not blocked single guys from messaging us, as we don’t want to cut off social discourse such as forum activity.

"We always see posts on here from single guys asking why they don't get replies.

Yesterday we had a guy wink us. We said thanks.

He said he wanted to know if there was any chance of meeting.

We have a clear profile. Very clear.

We were simply being polite and replying for a change.

For the life of us we cannot figure out how being polite becomes 'We will change our choices just for you"

We were asked where we are as he regularly comes by the Midlands and would love to meet up. Why? We clearly say no single guys.

The guy, you know who you are. But there are LOADS like you.

And guys wonder why couples don't reply??

You really don't know??

Do lots of other people get this shit???"

It is quite common lol

First line of our profile is constantly ignored or not read. Either way we just delete. Not going to waste our time by replying

To be fair to the guy if you sent him a message on the back of a wink I can understand why he’d think you might have changed your mind about single guys.

A lot of profiles say they don’t meet single guys but then have strings of verifications from single men.

Maybe avoid future hassle by not reacting to winks or friend requests of single men.

Have a quick skim of my profile text and see if it implies in any way that I’m looking to meet or chat to anyone. Doesn’t stop the messages though but I do just ignore everyone apart from one or two super handsome guys that I explain I may want to meet them after Xmas is over. I have exceptions even to my own rules.

To be honest talking about manners and respect and speaking the way you do about men shows a complete lack of the aforementioned qualities.in yourselves.

And ye responded to a wink when you could have just ignored it.It doesn't even make any sense to respond to one if he wasn't what ye were looking for or ye don't like winks. Trying to take the higher ground when ye instigated the whole thing by responding to a wink is ridiculous.

Going back to the club thing, behaviour that wouldn't last seconds over there.

But let's be honest. On here you don't have to face the consequences of rude behaviour, do you??

"To be fair to the guy if you sent him a message on the back of a wink I can understand why he’d think you might have changed your mind about single guys.

A lot of profiles say they don’t meet single guys but then have strings of verifications from single men.

Maybe avoid future hassle by not reacting to winks or friend requests of single men.

We think that you are obviously right.

As we originally said, single men moan when they get ignored, yet any faint comment makes them think they have a chance of free sex.

Fuck them. We will join the ignorant crew. Ignore them.

Then they moan that no one replies. ....

Sad.

You guys sound really very bitter about this simple misunderstanding.

Maybe you should take a moment and get a cuppa and relax. Then move on from the whole situation with a happier heart. "

Bitter, no.

Just disappointed at all the sad acceptance of bad behaviour on here.

How do you misunderstand a profile that is clear.

Oh yes, either don't read it, or just ignore it.

Like we said, sad.

"Could it be that the man in question sent a wink and then read your profile? Thought shit better not disturb them cos they don’t want single men, I’m not gonna hear anything back because they specifically don’t want single men. But then you message him, he thinks oh maybe I’m an exception to their rule otherwise why would they take the time to message me when their profile specifically states they don’t want single men.

Could possibly be Annie.

But good manners would be to read the profile first.

Or would it??

Reading a profile is polite.

Responding to a message is polite.

He couldn't win.

Round in circles.

Reading a profile is polite.

Respecting the clear choices in that same profile is good manners.

There wasn't anything to win.

But your opening post says you replied because it's polite.

So he could have either been impolite by not replying to you, or impolite by not reading or ignoring your profile and replying.

So either way, he would have been impolite.

The only ways this situation could have been avoided was for you to not respond, for you to have responded with a better comment ("Thanks, but just letting you know we're not interested in single men"), or for you to just not let it get to you.

No offence, but just to say the same thing again.

The polite thing would have been for the single guy to respect our profile and not wink.

"

As much as we all wish everyone catered to our exact desires on this site, its just not realistic your not special here. A wink is so harmless and definetly doesn't need a reply. A lot have people pointed this out to you. Just take it as a mistake and move on.

But do you not see what people are saying, if you don’t like winks (even worse single men) then why respond with a message, which anyone might see as an opening of conversation. Best course of action is just to ignore winks.

To be honest 95% of single guys on here think that a swingers site is a gateway to oversexed, amoral, loose women that will drop their knickers for any troll that comes along.

None of them seem to understand or even want to take advice. So many couples just don't bother and block them.

It's shame for the genuine guys out there who do understand and know how to communicate civil way in order to meet others.

If he was abusive then report him. But that wasn’t in your OP. And tbh you’ve taken the wrong approach to gain any sympathy when you’ve complained at length at being winked at.

It actually lowers the bar and expectation. I only have to act half normal to pass as sane here.

Honestly? We aren't looking for sympathy on here. We learnt a long time ago that the people on the Forum are capable of arguing black is white.

But the people who have already contacted us?

Well it was worth it just for that.

Quite simply, we have made some new friends today, and put people off who we don't want to be friends with.

Win win.

We also always see threads or posts justifying why single profiles don’t get replies….

"We always see posts on here from single guys asking why they don't get replies.

Yesterday we had a guy wink us. We said thanks.

He said he wanted to know if there was any chance of meeting.

We have a clear profile. Very clear.

We were simply being polite and replying for a change.

For the life of us we cannot figure out how being polite becomes 'We will change our choices just for you"

We were asked where we are as he regularly comes by the Midlands and would love to meet up. Why? We clearly say no single guys.

The guy, you know who you are. But there are LOADS like you.

And guys wonder why couples don't reply??

You really don't know??

Do lots of other people get this shit???"

Few tips one if a single man winks at you and your not looking for single men don't reply.

Two and here's the big one if your going to kick off in here about him asking questions after you answer his wink then set your filter to block single men winking and messaging you.

By the look of things you don't have a clue how the site works or what your doing.

Within the past hour we have had a wink and friend request from a single guy. Our profile states, clearly, we are not looking for single guys. It also states unsolicited friend requests without prior conversation are not accepted. We also make it clear we are not 420 friendly and those who are would be better served looking elsewhere. This guy failed on all three counts.

Did we send a message to him explaining this? No, because if her cared to read the profile he’d know he was wasting his time. So either he didn’t read or thinks he is the exception to the rule. So, we block.

Does that help at all OP?

This is the reason why I’ve stopped messaging altogether now and just drop into the forums now & then.

The amount of complaints people post about single guys just not reading, or heeding, to what’s being put in profiles is severely off putting and not wanting to get lumped in with them.

Reply privately (closed, thread got too big)

 

By (user no longer on site)  over a year ago

Did I read correctly, that he winked you and as a result you messaged him?

That's where the confusion lies.

A wink is just to draw attention to ones profile, if you're not interested, ignore.

Opening up a conversation could easily suggest you may be willing to go against what your profile states.

There are many here stating on their profile they're not seeking single guys, in order to avoid so many messages, where in reality they send the first message to any they do have interest in.

There's the confusion, your message came across as a conversation starter rather than a thank you to a wink, as that's far more rare

If you do not want/rate winks why even look at them in the first place let alone respond, then get yourself in a right tizzy over it, doesn't sit with the laid back description in your profile.

1. They should read and accept whats stated.

P.S. The folk posting on the forum aren't the people that don't read or respect the wishes.

Are you New to the internet and/or social media platforms?

Yes. Brand new.

Manners aren't new though, are they?

Even from couples it seems... How dare they question such a refined mannerly couple. Shame on them all. Tut tut."

Honestly?

How would he know what you were looking for, or not? You know he didn't read your profile... Even when they say, I loved your profile, I know it was never even skimmed... Photos, is how you spell photos... There is no f in it!

"Rightly or wrongly, I’m guessing that a lot of chaps would make the assumption that there was interest if they got a message response from a wink. Your options are to either not respond to the wink and block that person to prevent any more interaction, or block men entirely. There will always be those that skip to the pictures and press send message without thinking.

Simple question. Are they all stupid??

That is a ridiculous assumption.

There is a 'NO' in the profile. If this was a club and face to face, a guy behaving like this would be thrown out.

If it was in a pub, and someone wouldn't take no for an answer, then it could well end up nasty.

Is it because they can hide behind a screen here??

Any need for that first line ?

It is an assumption yes, rightly or wrongly, but you opened the line of communication by responding to a wink. If they are not what you are looking for why would you do that ?

Why would they wink? We don't like winks or single men. We can only assume they are stupid.

If I were you would just stop your not putting the club your so proud of in a good light and being rude to single men is one thing on here but rude to couples.

Your not privet messaging the whole of fab can read this

I take it you're posting your replies with your eyes closed?

You are coming across very rude, to say the least.

The hypocrisy you express is embarrassing.

To be straight, it seems to me you messaged a guy that winked you to look for an argument.

May I suggest you delete that you're a laid back couple, because the one posting certainly isn't.

Though that's evident in your profile.

Hmmmmm….. so what have I learnt in this thread…

A) filters….. the site provides them… how about using them?

B) men…. Bad… but some men show they are different by running over other men in the big old bus!

C) all people think they are the exception… except they aren’t! Men when looking for couples, couples when looking for women,

D) whole bunch of Totum pole politics going on here

Did I miss much…..

This goes both ways tho we are only looking for single guys in our age range, yet we get alot of messages off older couples insisting we meet them so they can "show us the ropes" safe to say they go to our block list.

He probably thought that maybe you might be interested after getting a reply from the wink, he might have read your profile but thought he would try anyway as it's just a wink.

I've met people that say they won't meet smokers, even had a relationship with someone that said they won't.

"I like to think I read bios and be respectful in my messages. Rarely attatch a photo unless requested in profile. Still get ignored more than replied.

I'd rather be told they're not interested than simply dismissed.

I get that most couples, women will be inundated with messages but, still... its nice to be nice! "

Yes of course we should all be nice all of the time However, if every day you received unwanted messages from gay/bi men (which you clearly aren't interested in) how many weeks/months/years would you keep replying politely to them? The problem here is that females and couples suffer from this issue far more than guys do. They also have a lot more choice. That explains the relative expressions of tolerance.

I like to think I am a problem solver….

So if you want to filter people…

and the site gives you the option to filter people…

How about using the filter to filter the people you want to filter…..

I know…. Mind…. Blown!!!!!

No interested for what ever reason. Don not communicate.

You reply to guy who winked to say thanks for wink, even though you don't like said winks and guy is not what you're looking for.....

Getting all antsy because guy gets peeved because you messaged but not interested?....

I clearly state no friends requests without talking first, but I'm not gonna engage in a conversation to say thanks for the friends request to someone I'm not interested in as I'm then contradicting myself by engaging in conversation

and confusion ensues....

I mean guys like me the genuine guys who read profiles and do everything the profile asks for in a message. We still do not get a reply so it is a lose lose situation for us single guys as we all get tarred with the same brush.
