"I know i will probably upset some people with this post but i don't see why it can't be upheld. It can't take more than 20 seconds to write to someone and say, "I'm sorry, you're not my type". Just plain rude otherwise!" To the FAB FAQ!!!!!! | |||

"20 seconds each no thank you reply, you're getting over 150 messages a day, those you respond to with a "no thanks" then ask you why? 20 seconds turn into hours!" This ^^ It's just the way it is...get over it op you won't change it | |||

"I think it's a matter of respect just to say sorry not interested. Anybody would be stupid if they thought that everyone wanted to sleep with them. I have sent plenty of messages saying, you seem really nice, but you're not my type, I'm sorry. " How many messages a day do you receive? | |||

I have sent plenty of messages saying, you seem really nice, but you're not my type, I'm sorry. How many messages a day do you receive?" Exactly this! ^ If I only have a few messages I do reply if I have 100 I csn tell you only 4 or 5 at the most will be people I'm interested in why would I sit and waste my time replying to 95 messages saying no just to get another 75 back saying why?? Crazy!! Maybe fab should add an auto reply feature where you can tick multiple messages to say your not interested! I've seen this on other sites! But honestly op if you don't get a reply take it as a not interested and move on to the next victim | |||

"Im still trying to work out who would uphold this new Law Gimp" lol wonder if it would have a badge OP... We do mostly reply to all... and actually people can stop messaging for all sorts of reasons.. Including.. Cleared inbox and forgot to reply. Don't worry about it. | |||

"I understand but its frustrating when you take time to read a profile and see if you could have something in common with someone. Send a thought out message and start creating a connection with someone just for a full on blank out of nowhere. I understand the women's point of view, but I'm talking about after 4 or 5 messages, then to say to someone sorry, not for me. I think that's just polite. Maybe i have too much manners for this site " So are you saying that every person that doesn't reply have bad manners? And what Is too many manners? | |||

Are you just bad at small talk and they get bored? | |||

The outcome is exactly the same. In fact, surely it's better not to get a reply because then you can tell yourself that we were stuck up bitches with no manners who you wouldn't have wanted to meet anyway. From my point of view there's no slight intended if I don't reply. When I'm looking to meet and sending the messages myself I delete my sent box and don't think any more of it: if the reply then they reply, if they're not interested then they don't. I'd like to think others would approach messaging me in the same way. | |||

However you get 10 demerits for having that audacity to tell me how I should spend my time, be it 20 seconds, 20 minutes, or 20 hours. It's my time and I choose how to spend it, no one else! | |||

"On the contrary i reply to the junk mail. I won £2m in a lottery the other day. Waiting for it to come into the bank Like i've said if you've sent a few messages back and forth and then just blanked i think it deserves a not interested or looking for something different. I knew i shouldn't have posted anything ha! " I didn't read the "4 or 5 messages down the line" follow up. Yeah in that situation I'd reply, if we'd already been messaging, but it's still not worth worrying about. | |||

Just plain rude otherwise!" Try writing that 50 times plus a day, and going to work, cleaning house, cooking, getting on with real life, messaging people actually want to meet. Yes my days are 72 hours long. How about take no reply as not interested | |||

"I wouldn't worry about it, its part of being a single man here " not just single men, we've had many a message deleted the difference is, we don't worry about what happens to it after it's sent. We send them with no expectation of answers. Some guys need to learn this too | |||

"I haven't told anyone to do anything. People live their lives how they want to and that's completely up to them. I'm merely making a point that maybe they think i'm ugly or i don't have the personality they're looking for, i just think after a few back and forth messages a reply saying no is fine. I think that the majority of men should be mature enough to take that message and see it for what it is and move on. I wouldn't ever feel the need to abuse someone or look at someone vengefully for that message. I just think that after a few messages it would be polite just to send a quick message saying its over. Please don't think i am reviewing that you should reply to every person, only people you have messaged back and forth a few times." 'It's over'??! Until you have had sex with them, it never was! | |||

" I understand the women's point of view, but I'm talking about after 4 or 5 messages, then to say to someone sorry, not for me. I think that's just polite. Maybe i have too much manners for this site " Sure after a few messages I agree it's polite to say something and would be very rude to purposefully ignore someone. But for first messages we get less abuse/comeback if we simply delete, that's why we do it mostly, and I have to say if someone clearly does not fit the criteria I lay down I feel under no obligation whatsoever to reply. | |||

Unfortunately, there are a few on here that clearly aren't mature enough to take rejection and think its acceptable to hurl abuse so some think its easier just to ignore when not interested. Don't blame the recipient, blame the small minority who are immature and abusive. If someone's genuinely interested in a meet they'll contact you, if they don't, even after chatting, just forget about them and move on. | |||

"I talked a friend into joining a year ago, she is a good looking girl and just out of a shitty relationship with someone who was cheating on her. She did her profile on a Thursday and went on a long weekend break, by Sunday night when she got back she had 500+ messages, how was she supposed to answer that many? And more arrived every day, by the time she answered 10 another 10 would arrive. It was when she started getting the insults for not replying that she decided to delete her profile and move on. sometime it's not possible to answer all letters,so just move on." Again, i'm not talking about first messages | |||

Your initial post said nothing about any back and forth messages, you only added that after a load of incredulous responses | |||

It is annoying when people chat then either drop off the radar or become vague in their replies but I think it's an occupational hazard. | |||

"Admittingly, the original post doesn't outlay my qualm. It's not like i changed the scenario of what i'm frustrated with though. I admit i didn't help with the poor start." No one has any obligation to reply to anyone. If you cannot attract someone enough to get a response, it is down to you and not them. If you have not impressed them enough with your manners, do not expect manners in return. Why do you consider it to be the fault of others? And if they do not meet your standards of behaviour, isn't it better that you do not continue communication? | |||
