When I get rejected on here over and over I change the age range slightly? Might try a different picture in the opening message? I sometimes come off here for a few days to give myself a break.
What do you do? |

I've not experienced it.
I don't think you should be sending messages out over and over on here OP, I don't think not receiving a reply over and over is good for anyone.
Take some time away if necessary, remember it's not a rejection as such (because that sounds harsh and they don't really know you). Be more selective in who you message but also... don't give it too much headspace. Really reduce that. Fab isn't worth giving lots of hesdspace to, x |

Rejected in what regards
Don’t get replies
Talk fizzles out
You meet and they say they are not interested due to….
Rejection can take many forms.
Changing your ages you look for and still getting rejection what happens next?
Surely concentrate on the age range and people you find attractive physically and mentally
That said if you come and go, like I did, take a break, people have less time around Christmas on the whole with work and (wider) family commitments

Rejection from someone I don't know and never interacted with is fine.
From someone who I've spoke to and met, that hurts a little.
I just go on a "all men are twats" rant.

I don't have the type of conversations that can lead to rejection so it's not something I've experienced on here.
I would suggest though that rather than constantly changing your pics or your filters you might be more successful if you focused on who you are and what you want rather than on what you hope might attract others.
Make your profile the best reflection of you as as person and allow your messages to reinforce that.

I was hoping that this thread was going to to provide ideas for rejecting people.
Sometimes this is something which needs doing carefully for one's own well being.
My technique is to bore them with long phone calls about subjects which I know they will not be interested in and yawn a lot during the process.
They will then think they will have a lucky escape by going separate ways. Job done! |

I present myself how I want to be seen, not what how I think others want me to be. So I don't change anything, I just not care and carry on with my day.

I've just laughed at all the 'don't take it personally' comments.
I'm not overly invested in rejection from people I don't know or have barely interacted with.
But I've also been rejected by people after we've met or have messaged a lot, by people I consider friends and not just 'fab friends'. Some things don't work out. And I usually message my best friend to talk about it, have a little cry. Avoid this place for a bit and then move on. |

I've managed to cut down the incidents of being rejected by limiting myself to sending one message a month.
Statistically I can then say that on average I only get rejected once per month. Which sounds much better than 'every time I contact someone.......😇😇 |

This is part of the reason I've chosen to no longer care quite so much (almost to the point of not at all).
I've been fucked over a few times by people who were close to me. Ghosting, abuse, slander, etc. I adopted the stance of shrugging things off, becoming tough-skinned and just carrying on.
Yeah, I do feel bad if and when it happens, but only for an extremely short amount of time, to allow myself to feel those emotions (instead of blocking them out entirely, which can have negative results further along), then say "Meh, fuck it!" and get on with life.
It's worked great for me, the last 2-3 years I've been doing it.
Some stuff is just beyond your control. Embracing that and letting go of certain things can be a game changer.
It all coincided with learning I have ADHD. These events and changes to my attitude all sorts of happened at once, the more I learned and reflected.
Rejection, in whatever form it might take, is just "one of those things" you can't control. The actions of others are entirely up to them. But the one thing you can control (to a certain extent, at least) is how you might react.
That's probably the most important lesson I learned. 😄 |

rejection is one of the norms of the scene and as there are many many many more guys than women/couples they will feel it most ... if rejection is a problem for you then this scene as a whole is properly not for you as its a selection/rejection thing jasy as in normal life....
so many moan about rejection but surely its just a natural thing in life if you get rejected move on its that simple ...
and it will only get worse for guys as more n more guys join daily yet not many women or couples if any ....
put 100 guys in a room and one woman theres a strong chance she selects no one and thats how swinging works its not a knickers down for anyone scene as some think or hope..
i say to anyone if rejection is a thing that bothers you then take a real break or if its really bad find a new lifestyle...
good luck op |

I don't overthink it and for a serious overthinker that's a tough thing to do! I look at it as black and white, we're not their type and that's that. We have a type as does everyone else so it makes sense that we just aren't for them. It's easy to overthink and let your thoughts get you down, but learning to get a thicker skin will help you move on without doubting yourself. Be kinder to yourself xx

Nothing you can do will change the gender imbalance on this site.
Being 'rejected' is just part of Fab life. Try not to take it personally. To the people who are doing it you are just a notification marker, not a person. |

Let it slide...if you focus on the fact you're not getting the responses you want,you will eventually put yourself in a negative headspace.
Try to speak to people you feel you'll connect with, and if you click, that's great! If you don't, then just move on  |

A man who gets offended by rejection will not survive on fab I’m afraid. A huge amount of people will not fancy you. Ignore the rejection gracefully and keep looking. Personally o don’t care about being rejection but I have been upset when someone sends an abusive message instead of a polite “no thanks” |

Same as myself. Well aware I am not for everybody, and not everybody is for me. I've had simple "no thanks" which is fine, but I've had some horrible responses, which can be disheartening but ultimately its just words on a screen. |

horrible and abusive messages should be reported there simply no need for it to anyone ... and there does not have to be a no thanks ....
the problem is people seems to think they can do as they wish on the internet ... but do they not realize that couples and women talk and word of mouth and screen shots will get them totally shut down away from fab ... |

Oh agree, I'm not by any means suggesting that a response is needed whatsoever, but abuse shouldnt be tolerated at all. I've reported a few nasty responses in the past but they're few and far between in all fairness! |

I have had long nice correspondence over days and weeks and then swap pictures and had abusive replies, but then they block you before you can even respond. I fear any man that ever meets these woman!

I very rarely send out a first message and when I do I delete my sent message to them.
I’ve had 2 rejections on here which did get me down in all honesty. I had gotten to know them as people and liked them. It wasn’t just physical lust. They didn’t do anything wrong for the record. People have the right to change their mind if they’re not feeling it. There’s no hard feelings my end. Sometimes things just don’t pan out.
Rejection can be many things. Sometimes it might be a case of not right now as opposed to them just not liking you. Take time away if you need to and in time you’ll move on. |

"Have you been to the Bedford Social yet OP. Maybe mixing up online chatting and real life chatting will help with the rejection thoughts "
No I haven’t but would love to. I’ll be going to penthouse over the next few weeks but would love to try the Bedford social. I’ll look it up |

This. Fab is great when you're in the right headspace for it, but if your self-esteem isn't as robust as it might be, it can all be a bit brutal. Don't be afraid to take a break if it starts to feel like a relentless conveyor belt of rejection. |
