Does everyone get abuse?

Jump to: Newest in thread

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

I keep reading other threads where people mention getting abusive replies to messages.

When I decline someone's offer I have only ever had a polite 'thanks anyway hon ' or a thanks for the reply anyway.'

So why are some getting abusive replies?

I'm very polite in my no thank you but yet it can on occasion get some rather hideous responses

The only time I've had rude messages, was last time I was on here when I put up a meet request for a social on a bank holiday.

I was polite enough to reply to everyone, even those who were not what I was looking for and they were the ones that were rude. I was called a time waster, a tease, a fake oh and my pictures weren't mine....apparently!

Needless to say I will never bother putting up a meet request again! Normal day to day messages are never rude though.

I find myself wondering if it's a small group of people who get abusive with everyone.

If the same people keep doing it and each recipient of their rants reports them, then surely they get flagged with admin and booted off?

There'll always be abusive ones. My profile clearly says those who can't take rejection should try other profiles but once it happens there's all sorts...all we can do is report and block and move on

"No I don't get it and have to ask myself about those that say they get it on a regular basis what are they doing

I've wondered this too, why do I warrant the abuse but my general no thank you goes like this

Thank you for your interest but your not really my type sorry but I hope you find lots of fun xx

This often is acceptable to most and I'll get a lovely message thanking me for taking the time to reply but then occasionally it will get me called a bunch of names and told I shouldbe grateful for their attention

So if anyone could point out where I'm going so wrong in my reply I'd be grateful as I thought I was being rather polite

Lol. I was worried people might think I was feeling left out!

It's just something that I've seen mentioned quite often. It doesn't seem to be a certain type of profile that gets a abuse either. I've seen guys, single girls and couples all complain about it.

Only once - a young man in his early 30's and so very much out of my age range. He was very rude for a couple of days. I never replied to him and think that wound him up more. I just deleted each message.

You will always get some but 90% of rude replies are in response to sarcastic/rude/arsey messages sent to that person. I know women who sent polite no thanks messages and never ever have a problem.

That's not always the case. I reply politely with a no thanks or sorry but I'm not interested, tailored to the message I'd have received but there'll always be some abusive ones. That's when I hit report then block

I was the same.. Most would just leave it at that, with of few replying to thank me for my reply. However I'd get a fair number reply to let me know they'd messaged me by mistake as there no way they'd have messaged such a fat munter otherwise, have had one saying the men I was meeting must be ugly and desperate to shag me and other messages with a similar tone. It was never the majority, and not always big numbers, but I got so sick of it I almost left the site. Instead I decided to just delete the messages from those I have no interest in and find I rarely if ever now get abuse... Must take too much extra effort to click back onto my profile to send a new message rather than just hitting reply!

Absolutely not!! No-one deserves abuse, ever. It's the person being abusive that's at fault.

I just see common factors.

The way I see it- and feel free to call me an ass- is that a guy sees your profile and likes what he sees. He's pissed off when you say no. "Look at what he's missing out on."

If I say no he's relieved- my profile is shit with no pics, I could be a guy for all he knows.

And that doesn't mean the other people that don't get abuse have shit profiles. Just different ways of running them.

I'll admit to being extremely lazy so I don't search. I only set my message filters a few weeks ago and the only abusive messages have been from men and "couples" in their thirties and over. But that's from the ones who contacted me before the filters so they could have thought they were the exception to the filters.

"I keep reading other threads where people mention getting abusive replies to messages.

So why are some getting abusive replies?

Quick answer is it seems to be the case. I guess its because its easy to be obnoxious when your safely sat in your living room and have the extra protection of anonymity supplied by any internet social site.

I have in the past and I usually know when to just not allow it to happen; when said user doesn't have pics.

Apart from that, I only ever really get dumb replies from people that don't seem to know how to make sense of simple replies.

I have found that most of the abusive mail I have received has been from people deciding to reply privately to some of my posts on here.

I get those too but I count them as a whole different category.

Never had any tbh. Had a few odd replies from gay/bi men who think its odd for a straight man to turn them down.... But not what I would call abusive.

Couples are different- there's always the chance the guy could be reading the mail. So people (guys?) are less likely to be abusive to them.

I've had someone recently send me an abusive message out of the blue. I mean you must be a different kind of special to be so offended by someones profile that you send them abuse. lol

I've had abuse from men when I've said no. I can't just drop everything for a shag (sometimes I wish I could) as I have a family. Also the men seem to think that just cos I'm a BBW that I'm desperate which I'm not.

A few years ago I had from 3 different men all of whom I had never spoken to in my life and all outwith my area, no idea why a profile could get to people so much!

"I keep reading other threads where people mention getting abusive replies to messages.

When I decline someone's offer I have only ever had a polite 'thanks anyway hon ' or a thanks for the reply anyway.'

So why are some getting abusive replies?

I don't think I've ever had an abusive reply.

I've had a few over the two and a half years I have been on Fab and after the initial shock when I first joined pay them no heed, report, block and forget them. For the most part everyone has been respectful and polite.

I was more shocked recently when out of the blue I received a spiteful and abusive message from another regular forumite - not someone I had ever spoken to personally and the message did not relate to anything that was being discussed in the forums at the time, it was just a personal attack. I followed the same line, block and report but I found that far more offensive than some guy having the hump because I had turned him down.

"The only time I've had rude messages, was last time I was on here when I put up a meet request for a social on a bank holiday.

Needless to say I will never bother putting up a meet request again! Normal day to day messages are never rude though.

That would be a shame to not put up a meet request again. Why not just state you will only reply to successful applicants.

Thanks but I've decided that if I fancy a social / meet again I will e-mail those that interest me.

I'm happy to say I don't get rude messages when I say no to someone normally though

You big fib! You've never turned down a woman in your life

I don't get as many abusive replies as I used to, and they're pretty poor quality too.

I had a guy message me out of the blue via a forum post telling me he'd never meet me. No reason given, and he lived 100s of miles away. I do wonder what goes through some peoples heads sometimes.

Brilliant idea! I'm a bit bored.... going to mail loads of random southerners and Scots and say I won't meet them because they're too far away.

Stopping replying to those I have no interest in seems to have worked for me, but if it hadn't this may have been my next step. I've never felt the need to stop single guys contacting me though as I've never had an overflowing inbox like some do. I do however go on the hunt myself every now and then too though when I know I've got some free time coming up

" I sometimes have a profile and get mail. I always reply. Only ever had one rude reply and it wasn't that bad.

Looking at the profiles on this thread from people that say they get abuse, they have one thing in common. The ones that don't get abuse have something else in common..."

Please do enlighten us that do as I said before any advice as to where I invite this abuse is gratefully received and as you have managed to find a common thread it would help if you could share as I can't spot it

I don't get abuse either.

Anyone I don't want to meet I just don't reply.

Land of the Prince Bishops

In the 3 yrs ive been here ive only read two abusive mails ( blocked and reported ) ive prob had more but my msging record is appalling so ive more than likely overlooked a few ......i often wonder when i read other fems updates about how they get abuse for being fat etc that they are attention seeking needy people .......publicly announcing hate mail is gonna get you a shed load of complimentary ones too enough to feed an ego im sure...
