I've had men message me and I've been open, honest and respectful when I haven't found someone to my liking. I'm not being rude. We all have types but I've had several people saying they're going to give up on here now or just continuing the messages and winks. I'm polite but to the point and it's pissing me off. |

Interactions on fab have an element which can cause issues; that element is called "ego"... egos are fragile things (mine was bruised on Friday for example), it is managing egos which is the challenge for both the person sending and the person receiving.
Egos hate choice or to be more succinct egos hate other people's choices if they aren't chosen.... we all take a hit, if we can remain friends with the person after, it is a sign that actually this person isn't so bad; we aren't attracted but we aren't put off...
Everyone on this site has the ability to behave like a kicked puppy (I can be a right shit).. but acceptance is the egos nemesis... if we accept and respect others choices, chances are we will be happier peeps. If those you reject cannot accept your choices, then it is best to block them and move on; let them play out their drama without you...
My friend calls this big boy pants... when you find guys that wear these, fab will be a better place. Good luck. |

I'd say, "thank you for the message but you're not what I'm looking for. Good luck with your search". The other night a guy was was saying how he'll never try again and he's worthless etc. I want to be nice but I also wanted to tell him to just get lost. |

Just ignore them then. You're not being rude. As others have said they are just playing the 'sympathy fuck' card. x |

I used to say similar then get differing replies, the abusive ones, the why not ones etc so then I just decided to send that message and block, saves any comeback and if you're not interested it filters them (and you) out of any future searches you both do. |

Cheers. I'm relatively new in terms of being active on here. I'm not a mug but I don't want to be a dick either. x |

Just tell them if it's a yes / no / maybe.
And let them know not to try again. Or block if you don't want anymore contact.
How you word your reply is up to you.

It's a tricky one. But meeting or continuing to talk to someone you really don't want to is totally counter-productive. It's hard when you're naturally a people pleaser, but has to be done. It's the hardest thing about being on here for me but I have learnt that most people just move on and don't care so my attempts at avoiding hurting their feelings just prolongs the issue. |

I will say
"thank you for the message /compliment
Sorry though you're not for me "
I never used to block however lately I have changed.
It stops the multiple follow ups/abuse and also means months down the line they don't message again.

Totally get the people pleasing comment. That was us, now we don't think twice, we'll be polite but when we have zero interest conversation ceases after the initial politeness. |
