"Better that they send the abuse - so the real personality is clear. Unable to take a no online is probably the least of their behavioural problems. " This is so true. | |||

"Why would it spoil it for you if you don't do that. And women can be just as abusive on here when told no as well." Because it makes women leave the site, or assume we are all the same. And I'm friendly with lots of women on this site in the "real" world and have seen the messages they get | |||

"It's amazing how a gorgeous woman who is worth messaging suddenly turns into a fat ugly slapper when they say no to a man. "I had a guy tell me along the lines that I was his perfect woman. How he adored my curves etc. I thanked him and explained that I'm not meeting at all just now. . He then had suddenly noticed how fat and ugly I was and how he wouldn't fuck a manky slut like me... I told him thanks for letting me know  | |||

"Don’t even need to turn them down. Apparently it’s ok to become abusive just because you haven’t responded to them. They obviously don’t know the etiquette of Fab." To be fair: Ignoring men on fabs is a huge problem and it's quite rude, no matter how entitled you girls feel about it and what it says in the "rules". If someone makes the effort to write a nice message, then it gets read and not answered, it is very frustrating. And just because you don't legally owe anyone an answer, doesn't mean you're not being rude by ignoring. And in my book: If someone makes noticable effort, they are ethically owed a response, even if it's "no thank you". And that shouldn't be an isse, because 99% of the messages are without effort at all anyway, which are a totally different story. | |||

Make the effort? Mate you are coming across like you think the world owes you something. If you had 200 messages, didn't find any of the ladies attractive, would you reply to them because they made the effort? Facts are men outnumber women in this site and they owe us nothing mate | |||

Why are women showing you their messages anyhow.That to me is ridiculous.And yes I've had abuse on here it doesn't bother me I just am glad I wasted no more time on them and block them. And like I said I have seen women on here being extremely vindictive and nasty as well so this whole attitude that only men are like that is definitely wrong. | |||

"Why guys? Take it like a man and move on. I've seen so many status updates from women about this shit it's really not on. It also spoils it for the year I'd us. If you sign up for fab please leave your ego at the door, you won't be for everyone, accept it move on and don't reply with crap!" It's not just men, the men get the brunt of this.....what about the couples and women who can be just as vile on the back of rejection, nothing really ever gets said about that. | |||

By your logic, if I smile and say hello to a total stranger in the street. It is okay for me to become abusive if they ignore me. | |||

We do respond to respectful messages but that's due to receiving maybe 10 messages a week. If we were getting over 100 a day we'd need to employ some admin person to get through them all never mind respond to them all. We are a very respectful couple but that would be challenging. Plus we never expect anything from anyone who we haven't ever met or spoke to before | |||

It's not rude to not reply.... however this thread is not about not replying... it's about when us ladies take the time to reply and decline an offer. I actually reply to nearly all my messages.. the only ones I don't are because the messages themselves are rude or abusive to start with. Even when I reply I still get abuse. Things like... * but why... you have met less good-looking guys But why.. are you scared ill ruin you .etc etc | |||

"Don’t even need to turn them down. Apparently it’s ok to become abusive just because you haven’t responded to them. They obviously don’t know the etiquette of Fab. To be fair: Ignoring men on fabs is a huge problem and it's quite rude, no matter how entitled you girls feel about it and what it says in the "rules". If someone makes the effort to write a nice message, then it gets read and not answered, it is very frustrating. And just because you don't legally owe anyone an answer, doesn't mean you're not being rude by ignoring. And in my book: If someone makes noticable effort, they are ethically owed a response, even if it's "no thank you". And that shouldn't be an isse, because 99% of the messages are without effort at all anyway, which are a totally different story." Even when we do reply, we get abuse if its not the reply a guy wants I've been told I'm a fake, a fat b!tch, a waste of space, I'm ugly, I'm not worthy of him (ok mate, you messaged me first) and a whole load of nasty abuse And that's why I don't reply if I'm not interested, no matter how good the message is if he's not what I'm looking for | |||

"Ain't no need to get hostile just because someone said no or didn't reply. Ya gotta fall down first before you can get up not everyone is going to want to jump into bed with you it's just something you gotta get over. " Exactly this Op. I got name called for being polite and blocking so there is no backlash. Saying not interested is polite. I am glad I blocked them. I will always do so. Being respectful and taking it on the chin like a man would. | |||

"If someone takes the time to actually read my profile and sends a good message that I can tell they’ve read it I will always respond. If it’s just a one liner and a dick pic it gets instantly deleted it’s just not for me. I have received abuse for turning someone down in the past. Things like fat, desperate etc. yeah I’m chunky and yes it used to bother me but now I just block and delete as they’re obviously not for me." That’s not strictly true. I’ve read your profile several times and I then sent you a message. You read it and didn’t reply even to say no thanks. It was a comprehensive message not waffling and I thought it was a nice message but no absolutely no response. You didn’t even get a dick pick. | |||

And being so rude and entitled may rub some men the wrong way, and then you get your hateful messages.***" *** Yeah this is true. It's not nice to ignore nice messages. I can imagine that even the nicest guy will get massively pissed off after sending nice messages and reading profiles and getting no response whatsoever. However there's no need for him to be abusive. But the not nice ones will be (abusive). Thing is, it's the abusive nasty men who put the decent women and couples off from replying. It's easier to not reply even to nice messages. | |||

Your ethics and mine are quite different. And I know I’m not rude or breaking any law by dismissing messages that are unrequited. Your effort may go into a message granted. My effort is entirely focused on something else. Nice of you to presume that someone not responding is unethical. I know for sure how I am as a person. It most certainly doesn’t include giving someone who questions my ethics the time of day let alone a response.

Sorry mate I disagree this isn't a service, and some women get literally hundreds of messages a day So? 99% of them are one liners anyway. If I make the effort to write a nice message, I expect an answer, especially if it's been read (in that case the "hundreds" of messages a day are completely irrelevant, because the message has still found its way through once it's opened.)" Expect an answer? Nobody owes you a thing, your choice to send a message, nobody asks you too.. It's even written in the rules | |||

"...Sorry, but *abuse* though? With your extravagantly cultivated image to pick at? Fabs 'lounge lizard' and all that? What actually constitutes *abuse*?" • What is the correlation between being cultivated (your words, not mine) and not being susceptible to abuse (your indirect insinuation). The abuse is the invective language when not replying quick enough to satisfy her unreasonable expectations; their imaginative ways of engaging with me by sending unsolicited photographs of their pussies which necessitates a quick delete from my inbox; hurtful remarks when I suggest alternative dates because the date which she insisted on happens to clash with a critical medical appointment concerning my son (he comes first, always); random messages criticising my profile; lashing out because I asked for clarification on their question to me because I'm not very good with ambiguity... | |||

And that shouldn't be an isse, because 99% of the messages are without effort at all anyway, which are a totally different story. So all that mail from pizza companies, double glazing etc who put the effort into designing and printing leaflets deserve your response too? That is a stupid comparison. Whatever. You girls pretend like you're not rude for ignoring messages with effort, like oyu always do. But deep down you know it's not nice. You just do it because you can, but we all know that just because you get away with it, doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. And being so rude and entitled may rub some men the wrong way, and then you get your hateful messages. You are one of the guys who send the abuse aren't you? Do you act like the world owes you a favour in all aspects of life? First of all, no. Secondly: Since when is decent human behaviour "the world owing me a favour"? Stop virtue signalling so hard
I am out now. So don't expect any further messages."If people are replying to your messages, surely it's polite to reply and rude to ignore? | |||

"I’ve been lucky so far, but yes - the world is full of arseholes. " It’s happened twice to me now in 7 years, never underestimate how abusive and twisted some women can get when rejected. Thankfully 99.9% of women here are decent people. | |||

"If someone takes the time to actually read my profile and sends a good message that I can tell they’ve read it I will always respond. If it’s just a one liner and a dick pic it gets instantly deleted it’s just not for me. I have received abuse for turning someone down in the past. Things like fat, desperate etc. yeah I’m chunky and yes it used to bother me but now I just block and delete as they’re obviously not for me. That’s not strictly true. I’ve read your profile several times and I then sent you a message. You read it and didn’t reply even to say no thanks. It was a comprehensive message not waffling and I thought it was a nice message but no absolutely no response. You didn’t even get a dick pick. "I've looked at her profile and I've looked at your profile and I can tell you at least one reason why she didn't respond. Can't say though as I haven't been asked and it's a while since I've had a forum ban. Frank | |||

"...Sorry, but *abuse* though? With your extravagantly cultivated image to pick at? Fabs 'lounge lizard' and all that? What actually constitutes *abuse*? • What is the correlation between being cultivated (your words, not mine) and not being susceptible to abuse (your indirect insinuation). The abuse is the invective language when not replying quick enough to satisfy her unreasonable expectations; their imaginative ways of engaging with me by sending unsolicited photographs of their pussies which necessitates a quick delete from my inbox; hurtful remarks when I suggest alternative dates because the date which she insisted on happens to clash with a critical medical appointment concerning my son (he comes first, always); random messages criticising my profile; lashing out because I asked for clarification on their question to me because I'm not very good with ambiguity... " Sorry Im not unsympathetic, I just dont don't see them as being on the same darkly mysogenistic level some sad men can get to when they feel like they'll never get laid again. People I trust have told me in the past what goes, and it's gross. Men do get shit too though I know ive had it. Pt | |||

"Don’t even need to turn them down. Apparently it’s ok to become abusive just because you haven’t responded to them. They obviously don’t know the etiquette of Fab. To be fair: Ignoring men on fabs is a huge problem and it's quite rude, no matter how entitled you girls feel about it and what it says in the "rules". If someone makes the effort to write a nice message, then it gets read and not answered, it is very frustrating. And just because you don't legally owe anyone an answer, doesn't mean you're not being rude by ignoring. And in my book: If someone makes noticable effort, they are ethically owed a response, even if it's "no thank you". And that shouldn't be an isse, because 99% of the messages are without effort at all anyway, which are a totally different story." This is hilarious | |||

"Just so I am clear on your rules that I have to now follow cos some dude on the Internet says I have to. Can I ignore 1 word messages? One sentence? What if I think your message is crap. Am I allowed to ignore it then? Please be very clear on your rule so I can follow it to the letter like the good little woman that I am. I would say the rules of the site overrules yours so no reply = no thank you. " I was just thinking the same, I mean, if you EXPECT (in other words demand) a response, then apparently I have to obey! Excuse me while I nip back to the 1950's and get back in the kitchen! | |||

"I can't understand why people do that, other than maybe to let off steam, but it just seems so pointless and self-defeating... I mean, do they think it'll make them change their mind?" I sometimes reply to some abusive shite... "oops sorry I'd love to meet you." | |||

"I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable that I probably played this down slightly myself. Women can have a huge amount of paperwork here - and they get some shocking things said to them (ie genuine abuse for no reason other than a sexual preference or decision), no way is it *remotely* equal to most of the things said by women to men I reckon. I just can't see it, despite (in life, not Fab so much) knowing that women can indeed say suddenly abusive things of course. Men get super sensitive and are always trying to find parity in work loads. Parity in anything - it's built into them. With women it's often equitable with them at best though (ie not strictly equal) - we often live different lives. The more I think about this, the more important that people have the horrible actual duty of reporting this. It's horrible because a lot of people will want to forget it - until it eventually gets them down and of course at the point they can't. But really - when it is really bad - we all have to report as seen. Otherwise Fab doesn't have a chance of dealing with it at all. pt " I'm not seeking parity at all but regardless of what many would have you believe, whataboutery can have a significant effect on people's behaviour. I don't send messages and haven't sent a single first contact message in well over 3 years. Therefore every conversation since has been started or attempted by others. Many of those introductory messages don't even say hello but just contain a list of demands for what I must do in order to meet them. That varies from shaving my beard off to playing bi to travelling 5 hours each way on a Sunday night to attend a club that only hosts invitation only events. Nothing nasty so far, just an enormous sense of entitlement from, I hasten to add, very well verified profiles. The abuse starts as soon as I say I don't meet like that under any circumstances. I've been told that not only is it my loss but that I'm too old anyway and too straight to ever be successful here. I've also been told that they will end my fab journey because they have been here so long and have the power and contacts to do so. I'm still here doing my own thing despite their predictions but to think for a second that men don't get abuse on here or when they do that it couldn't possibly be as bad as what women get is very naive. I've no interest in competing with anyone or measuring my dick on an abuse scale but fab will forever be full of apologists. " Seeing at this was directed at me I'll just say I've never heard any single bloke make a complaint quite like this on Fab before now. Most complain of no contact at all tbh! Those type of messages (do you really get that many?) are probably like the speculative 'letter' type that people send out to interesting-looking people on dating sites these days. Rather than see then as entitled, I wouldn't take them too personally maybe. They may happen quite I bit I don't know. It could even be local thing. I can't help feeling that a lot of this thread has been more been about correspondence that has just ended badly. Sadly this just happens quite a lot on Fab I think. Do we all do enough to guard against it? I've found myself in some ding dongs myself, esp over on Flabiguys. I can usually see where I could have bailed out on reflection. pt | |||
