"Because some folk have a sense of entitlement and some are just overgrown toddlers who never got out of the tantrum stage...if only there was a real life block button lol" Just like the Christmas episode of Black Mirror, lol | |||

"Ok sometimes we all have to use that little button that says "block" In real life people accept no thanks with a pinch of salt. Even the charity people are getting the message now when you say "no thanks" Yet why should here be any different to real life? Thoughts" I actually find it's a preventative measure for the looneys and or crazy ones But also have been attacked literally so it helps then | |||

 "
I never say "no thanks" as it seems a bit abrupt and rude? You could say it in quite a sarcastic way in my head and maybe that's how a lot of guys read it? It sounds like a thinly veiled "you must be joking??!" in my head.
It could explain why you get abuse for saying "no thanks" specifically. | |||
 . Block and report that's what we would do just a shame we can't name | |||

"I've never had any abuse? ." im not talking about abuse just in general | |||
"I've never had any abuse? I always say "I'm really sorry but you aren't my type. "

"We have had some mild abuse, but yesterday the entirely unsuitable chap threatened violence and knows where I live. And then deleted profile about 10 minutes later, sure he's back on here in another guise today." Omg | |||

Why?"Because your forum contribution is 98% of the time nothing sexually related, but they think it is ok to message you with something sexually related, in my experience anyway! I shouldn't really have to explain myself! | |||

I really don't understand why people have a profile then complain about people mailing them. | |||

"Can understand but when you've been chatting and they want to meet and you say ok they even tell you were to meet then.... Block" Have to play devils advocate | |||

Whether it is good or bad no matter what thread you are on don't you! You do what you want with that sparse single profile you have to be judgmental on others, and I'll continue with mine, if you don't like my postings? Then leave them alone, no skin off my nose! | |||

"I don't know that Fab is any different to other internet hook up sites. My gut feel is that a lot of people, especially single men, once registered do expect that their sex lives will immediately zoom to warp speed. Their common assumption is that however good their sex activity has been before, will suddenly have masses of extra choice - from the volume of partners they'll get, the incredible and expanded choice of sexual activities they'll get involved in, tons of group sex... you get my drift. Then some of them make a bit of effort, then some more effort. Then even more effort - if they have any sense, as lots of their profiles will say the equivalent of them being great in the sack. There's an awakening realisation that this new Fab sex life isn't happening as expected - in fact, it's not even started. When these guys were growing up they had overwhelming sexual impulses, urges to get their cocks serviced and milked (copyright Shag) - it was tough having all these urges but the women weren't really doing anything to satisfy them. When they arrive at Fab, their adolescence is reawakened - they have the needs and assume that Fab has the members who will totally be able to nosh them and get fucked by them to infinity. It's going to be a cert. that there's unlimited shag potential via Fab. It was unrealistic of course. After sending a ton of messages to singles and couples who don't normally reply to them, defying their belief in their Sex God status: they did post a ton of cock pics, which gotta have ladies drooling!? they occasionally get a reply from this sweet girl. She's told them 'thanks, but no thanks'. Obviously they weren't certain about it, as they've replied, unlike the other 100 or so women. In the real world outside, they don't try and pick up dozens of women a week. In the flesh, they get and understand the cold shoulder treatment, when that body language says 'take a hike'. On fab, they just get a one dimensional line of text, without all the other non-verbal feedback (on fab, they don't even get the voice tonality that is clearly a 'NO!' signal. So, Fab has the hordes of people with unrealistic expectations. It has the clueless, it has the limited feedback, compared to when they meet in person and try and pick someone up. Blocks help prevent the demands for extra detailed feedback that they'd get elsewhere, and the anonymity of the internet helps people to say stuff they wouldn't do in person too, as well as approach people they'd perceive as out of their league in the flesh. I'm rambling, but there are always more things going on than we'd think. Frustration abounds out there. A block button helps cut many users off from the motivations of others that would drive them being hassled. Worship that block button!" Best and most insightful post I've read on forums. | |||

"people block you on here even for just putting a post on the forum they don't like or agree with! Find it strange really - but it's a funny old world with some funny old people in it" Yes I've been blocked on more than one occasion for directly disagreeing with someone, I found it a little bizarre. | |||

Apparently some people don't like other people having opinions..... | |||

"At least most of you reply. I mean if I take the time to write a message to you, please take the time to write one back. Is that too much? I mean even if I am not your type, a simple "hey thanks, but your not my type" would be fine with me. Idk maybe I just expect too much? Lol" The only ones I don't reply to are the "fancy some fun today?" messages from someone we've never spoken to before. And our profile says we do this, so they're warned. | |||
"Thanks Scarletta - I've not read it back yet, I'm half asleep after a loooong day. " Reads very well. X | |||

I mean even if I am not your type, a simple "hey thanks, but your not my type" would be fine with me. Idk maybe I just expect too much? Lol" Many of us would love to, some of us have then had insults thrown back or demands made. Or we struggle to cope with keeping on top of our mail. If you've carefully selected some decent people to message, don't think any less of them or yourself if you don't hear back. Managing jobs, homes, kids, possibly caring for elderly relatives and juggling invites for sex is the calling of a saint (apart from the rampant intense sexual pleasures). I'd love to hand out a bag of coins, like the Queen on Maunday Thursday, or tea and biscuits, to all the eager message writers, rather than think of you in isolation with an empty inbox. But you have to move onto the next profile, it's a numbers game. Overlook what you missed and seek what may be there for you instead. Stay on top of your game. Tweek your approach - it's a tough game that not all will win. | |||
