Exceptional
Jump to: Newest in thread
Not particularly. It's a good adjective. Usain Bolt, for instance, is an exceptional athlete.
Presumably you're talking about people using it as a descriptor on their own profile. In which case, I'd suggest just moving on to a profile which *does* suit you, rather than trying to change other people
LvM, the exceptional  |

Nope. I think if there ever came a time when Fab got me “really annoyed” I’d just leave, it really wouldn’t be worth the agro. |

Can't say I've seen a correlation between bmi and use of the word. I'm never sure what they mean by it. Exceptional oral skills? Exceptionally clean? Exceptional annual salary? It's a lazy word. |

Are superlatives not subjective. People "grading" things on a curve, rather than to set standards, based on their own experiences in life.
If you like big tits you find a pair that is exceptional, but to someone who prefers small and pert, they are not (for example) |

I've met many people on Fab I'd describe as exceptional. It's just a word and one that fits some people very well.
Do some people use it to describe themselves? Sure.
Do some people use it to describe the kind of people they're looking to meet? Yep.
Does that bother me at all? Nope.
It's far less offensive a term that calling people 'grossly overweight' in my opinion.

Grossly overweight people ARE exceptional. 'Unusual not typical'. 
I find the people most offended by terms on profiles (exceptional, professional, no drug users, no bareback etc) are the people who are sad because they have been excluded. The more annoyed they are, the more sad they are that they can't fuck that person.   |

There isn’t a single living person or thing alive that isn’t exceptional
Whenever I see it written on a profile I tend to steer well clear. Arrogance isn’t a particularly attractive trait.. |

No, because my exceptional will be to my taste; which will be different to that of the skinny women.
I like what I like.
Some people use exceptional for things like profession or wealth.
I use it for personality and demeanour. |

Well, my interpretation of exceptional will be a man with a devil-may-care attitude to life. He'll walk with his chin tipped up and smile through the rain.
His face will be open and cheerful and he'll make me laugh with his saucy, dry wit.
His clothes will be casual of course, and his hair bedraggled.
He's not bothered about watches or Creed aftershave and couldn't care less what he drives as long as it doesn't break down too often.
He'll be happy accompanying me to a ballet, even though he's not interested, and he'll bag the cosy spot in the pub afterwards.
When we get home he'll help me make tea and cheese on toast to eat before we go to bed and spend an hour making love, before drifting off into a deep sleep.

Fat people should be grateful for any fucks they get offered.
They certainly shouldn't be making requests or demands. |

I guess this site is what it is & people are free to be as picky as they like & if using terms like “exceptional” in their profile helps to manage expectations then so be it ..
I do smirk though when I see it used and they aren’t exactly “exceptional themselves” :/ |

Nah, he doesn't consider himself exceptional and doesn't like that he might be turned down by someone he deems less attractive than himself, due to their weight.  |

Incorrect again. My point was probably not articulated well enough.
Fab is not the real world. Men vastly outnumber women, this has led to people becoming arrogant based on the number of interested people.
In the real world people wouldn't be as interested.
I just think people should be more realistic and not use the term exceptional unless they are that themselves. I've not seem many model types of either gender tbh.
I've not been rejected or declined. I just don't think it's the best terminology.
I also have nothing against people of any weight. Unless they are arrogant, that's slim, average and grossly overweight. |

Sure seems like you’re butt hurt at not getting meets. And yep you were weight bashing.
What you deem exceptional isn’t the same as what someone else sees as exceptional. Body size doesn’t matter, anybody any size can have their own standards. |

Looking for Exceptional only. I hate this wording on a profile. If that’s the case and you think that way? Why are you on here in the first place?.
It reminds me of the school playground and picking football teams oh don’t pick him or her they are exceptionally shite.
You should treat everyone the same with respect, manners and fairness at all times. There’s not enough love in this big bad world we live in sadly it’s all gone now.
That person you ignored, knocked back or even blocked for not being “Exceptional” could have been the best fun you may ever have and the “Exceptional” person could turn out to be a feckin nightmare. Never judge a book by its cover.

Because people are allowed to have preferences, decide who they're interested in and who they're not, and who they are attracted to and want to meet.
It's nothing to do with 'respect'. And where the fuck does 'fairness' come into it? 
Nobody is entitled to a meet just because they're 'nice'. 
You don't get insist that people meet just because you're here. Its not a place where just by creating a profile someone has to meet you because it's 'only fair' that they do.
Some people will be very specific and choosy about who they want to meet and quite rightly so. If that means they choose to use a word like 'exceptional' or maybe 'good looking', 'fit', 'attractive' or 'toned' and that means they don't pick you.....it's not unfair!
Jeez. The use of that word (fair) reeks of entitlement.

It's not massively arrogant at all. It just means most people on Fab don't interest them, so the ones they are interested in are the exception.
Are you suggesting people should have sex with people they don't want to so people like you can get their end away, OP? |

I would politely suggest your question is a bit of a reach.
I have no issues with anyone declining me and stopped the thought process of 'getting my end away' in my teens.
We all have a choice and free will. I just simply don't like the terminology.

The usual "pile on" stuff... Man can't make an observation without the "he's obviously not getting any" responses. Wonder how it would have gone if a woman had objected to the use of the word exceptional. Now... Wheres the "nobody owes me a reply thread". |
