When a guy sends a "polite" message
Jump to: Newest in thread
I'm coming across a few guys who think that because they aren't sending a fancy a fuk message and are polite, that I am going to meet them?
I get a lot of fancy a fuk type messages. But I get a lot of the polite ones too. It's not an automatic guarantee I will reply, let alone meet.
Weirdly the fancy a fuk guys seem to take rejection better than some of the "polite" ones?
I suspect if I met all the polite ones, they'd be some of the same guys who then would refuse to meet me because I've got too many veris. You can't win.
(NOTE: Not all polite guys and not all guys, it's just a trend that seems to be more common at the moment.) |

Genuinely polite is fine.  Loke I said this isn't aimed at all polite guys, just a few.
It's the "polite so I know I'm different to all the other guys so why won't you meet me?" that is happening quite a lot.
Which is basically someone telling me over and over that they are polite, when really they aren't.
To reiterate, guys are fabulous and I like them a lot. This is only a handful that are being like this. |

I guess a lot of the "fancy a fuck" guys just shotgun out multiple messages , so get less pissed off if the get a no thanks; they are just waiting for the 1/100 "yes" or " maybe" responses .
Whereas some of the " polite" guys think that if the have spend a bit of time, then they are more entitled?

Oh those polite guys can turn pretty quickly. I had one yesterday. Few nice messages. Pushed for a meet so I politely explained I'm not meeting off here but hoped he found what he was looking for. I then turned into aold, fat, sad, ugly slag. Strange cos up to then I was a goddess personified. With most if them it's just an act until they get what they want or you reject them. |

You are one of the rare few who actually have a nice body (yes i know- its my opinion).
Even id love to have sex with you. If you fancy having sex some time lol.
Seriously i think that as you have good photo style along with a good body its not suprising you get messages from both types. Your photos seem quite inviting. Both in a polite and a naughty way. You aim at all sectors as it were lol. |

Had a msg from a 28 yr old at start of week. I deleted. He sent another 'fat c**t' to which I responded 'is that the best you can do?'. Another tirade of insults followed. Apparently he despises rude people who don't reply to polite msgs. His opener was ' hi, how are you?'. Had he read my profile first this could all have been avoided. |

I don't understand why anyone wouldn't be polite here. I guess the ones who expect special treatment for displaying normal human behaviour are the ones who turn nasty. I'm even polite when long chats go nowhere or the lady sees a face pic and says no thanks. No point in being rude... shitting in someone else's sugar won't make yours any sweeter 
P.S. wanna fuk? |

"Men will send any old shit to get a meet, not all men, but some "

It's like that thing where there's a superhero and lots of evil clones pretending to be him. How can we find the real one?!
Umm umm a genuinely lovely guy will have a place in Geneva? Wait, that was done yesterday. Is it something about heffalumps or other mythical animals? |

Good morning
My name is Polite Peter and I love just outside Doncaster.
I have been brought up to treat people how you want to be treated yourself.
Manners and been polite and courteous cost nothing.
I also admire and respect ladies but also adore them.

Politeness is always nice, but it's when they use the 'I'm polite, not like most of the guys on here' line that it pisses me off.
Very much a turn off when they put down other guys to make themselves good. |

Yep, that. Do the guys who send that message meet many other guys on here? |

I know there are genuinely polite men on here, as I have met a couple of them, but most think that we will respond to a bit of schmooze better than a 'fancy a fuck' message that they usually send, and try that approach instead... and when that doesn't work either, they get nasty  |

Us there a polite way if saying fancy a fuck. As you could then combine the two if them together.
"Hello there how are you doing?? , Was looking at your profile and thought please would you fancy a fuk. Thank you for your time"
Shit did I just type that out loud.

It's a massive sense of entitlement that some guys have.
It's the same theory, basically, as 'friendzoning'. Guys that complain that the've put friendship or politeness into your slot, so therefore sex should fall out for them. They see women as nothing more than transactions.
Give me honesty and 'fancy a fuk' over faux-politeness any day. |

Suppose it's a case for some
Men your are damd if you do and damd if you don't . Just some Men are bulletproof and move quickly on to the next one.. the gents, I find from meeting at socials and clubs always stay a gent . As in most dating sites the men sometimes lack basic interaction skills .. hence that's why they are on dating sites in the first place (I'm on three before any one throws that in the
Mix )

I always send a polite message but I've no idea if blunter fancy a fuck messages would have more success
Either way I'm a polite guy so won't change just because I think it would get me a meet |

We find some of these "polite" messages are from guys that either haven't read our profile or choose to ignore certain aspects,in which case they get deleted with no reply.then the moaning starts |

Much as I would never send a "fancy a fuck" message, I never write essays as an introductions. I always write like I would speak to you the 1st time I saw you in the street, pub, supermarket, train. A wink, or a short intro, with a comment about what drew me to your profile. If people think that is too short, lack imagination, delete without replying, I move on, possibly we would not have got on anyway... |

Sadly that is true for many lol! I think the main problem is false expectation. Men, particularly young men, come here under the misapprehension that the site is full of easy women who will fuck anyone, and when they have no success their ego takes a hammering, they become increasingly desperate to succeed, but also frustrated and resentful, and sooner or later some poor woman gets it in the neck for saying no, the straw that broke the camels back.
I believe there's some really misleading hype about this site somewhere.  |

Yes, those short off the cuff comments work best - like a comment on a status update or a pic - instantly engaging, and also 'non-threatening' as it were. If someone engages my mind, no telling who I will end up desiring lol!! |

I have to disagree its not the site that's the problem or the woman couples using it in your example its the ignorance of the guys .
fuck wits will be fuck wits no matter what they here about the site for the simple reason they lack a fucking brain in my opinion |

Perhaps a genuinely nice guy will have a partner already? Just saying like Anyway I send out the odd very polite message, Not short usually maybe a paragraph or two, put in a bit of humour, light smut, leave an open end...

This won't go down well but I think 95% of the time the content of the message doesn't matter its the profile and how the guy looks. I bet if Tom Hardy was on here with a just pics profile and sent either "Hey, how are you?" Or "Fancy a fuck" messages he would still get a decent amount of replies. If you don't do well with women in the real world you will struggle even more on here than out there. |

Well, I'm not really offensive in my messages and no woman has ever really been offensive to me.
In the past, I'd send polite messages out... I'd say half were ignored. Being ignored can make you feel a bit frustrated and ofcourse rejected. I think that if this happens time after time, the man can feel worthless and angry.
This is why you get vicious messages back.
There are some things to know on here though... Not only are women a hard find on here, a lot of them actually have no intentions of meeting! They come on for the attention and to feel better about themselves. I've known a few in the past! This can make it even more frustrating for men! |

don't message out of the blue trust me you do far better by responding to those who are brave enough to message you or by only replying to forums post status updates or the odd super hot picture that pops up on your local time line .
most of this game is dependent on timing more than anything else in my opinion get the timing of your message wrong and you will be passed over with out so much as a second look . |

"I guess a lot of the "fancy a fuck" guys just shotgun out multiple messages , so get less pissed off if the get a no thanks; they are just waiting for the 1/100 "yes" or " maybe" responses .
Whereas some of the " polite" guys think that if the have spend a bit of time, then they are more entitled?
"
That's what I think too. |

"I'm coming across a few guys who think that because they aren't sending a fancy a fuk message and are polite, that I am going to meet them?
I get a lot of fancy a fuk type messages. But I get a lot of the polite ones too. It's not an automatic guarantee I will reply, let alone meet.
Weirdly the fancy a fuk guys seem to take rejection better than some of the "polite" ones?
I suspect if I met all the polite ones, they'd be some of the same guys who then would refuse to meet me because I've got too many veris. You can't win.
(NOTE: Not all polite guys and not all guys, it's just a trend that seems to be more common at the moment.)
Much as I would never send a "fancy a fuck" message, I never write essays as an introductions. I always write like I would speak to you the 1st time I saw you in the street, pub, supermarket, train. A wink, or a short intro, with a comment about what drew me to your profile. If people think that is too short, lack imagination, delete without replying, I move on, possibly we would not have got on anyway... "
The exception to the rule...if you sent a "fancy a fuck" message I wouldn't ignore it! |

The faf guys probably have limited recollection upon who they've messaged.
If I ever politely write back that I'm ironing my hair or in the middle of a funeral etc, they don't notice the hindrance and start popping Viagra and buying condoms. One track minds. |

"This won't go down well but I think 95% of the time the content of the message doesn't matter its the profile and how the guy looks. I bet if Tom Hardy was on here with a just pics profile and sent either "Hey, how are you?" Or "Fancy a fuck" messages he would still get a decent amount of replies. If you don't do well with women in the real world you will struggle even more on here than out there."
Completely and utterly this. If i don't like the look of someone the message content is irrelevant and my response will normally be no response. It's the easiest way to deal with things and avoid conversations i don't want to have with strangers. |

"Oh those polite guys can turn pretty quickly. I had one yesterday. Few nice messages. Pushed for a meet so I politely explained I'm not meeting off here but hoped he found what he was looking for. I then turned into aold, fat, sad, ugly slag. Strange cos up to then I was a goddess personified. With most if them it's just an act until they get what they want or you reject them. "
oh that sounds so familiar....

Yep totally agree with this
I've always taken the time to send a "nice" message, some get replies, some deleted and some unread. It happens.
The unread ones are frustrating if you've put in some time and read their profile and you think that you may be their type. They're usually the ones that state "no one liners or fancy a fuck". But like this guy said, if Tom Hardy sent "fancy a fuck" his pants would be off with several ladies waiting to ride him before Roadrunner said beep for a second time! |

That's a good approach. That's why we try to put a bit of personality/character into our profile. It gives an opportunity for people messaging us to have some sort of hook to catch our attention. |

Yeah that's what I meant even the so called "Sapiosexuals" would be replying to his one liners.
My advice to guys though is never look at your sent box though its as bad as checking the double ticks and last online on whatsapp |

I think you're right to a degree. However I have met a guy for a social who I didn't think I'd be attracted to based on his photo. His message was pretty awesome so I met him. He ended up being a long term fuck buddy and I haven't found a good replacement for him yet.
But mostly now I want to change my username to roadrunner and my status can be "beep beep". |

You just never know someone from just a profile or a message. Sounds like you've found an ideal playmate.
If you were roadrunner I guess you'd have several coyotes sending you "fancy a fuck" messages! |

Ah but you don't because in person people immediately know what you look like in order to judge their attraction to you and you've got no public pics so they can't do that. |

I politely disagree I've had a few where their pictures have looked great to me personally but they've said things like "I want to fuck your ass" or "I want to impregnate you" as openers and any good looks go out of the window. |

I do that sometimes..just a quick thanks for the reply.
I leave it as that though,..it's not an attempt at wheedling more conversation..just a cheers. But I'd do that in real life anyhow..If someone tells me no over anything they always get a 'thanks anyway' just the way I am I suppose. |

No one has ever been offended by someone with good manners. I place a high moral value on the way people behave. I find it repellent to have a lot, and to behave with anything other than courtesy in the old sense of the word - politeness of the heart, a gentleness of the heart..the fancy a fuck men see no value in your reply, their scattergun approach ..a true genuine man may feel hurt, as their values which they have invested in you are worthy of a similar investment. . |

""a true genuine man may feel hurt, as their values which they have invested in you are worthy of a similar investment. .""
So basically because they sent us a personally crafted message essentially asking for attention and said please at the end, and we said no thanks, that gives them the right to be abusive and nasty? |

I personally always send a polite message. Don't always get a reply, but when I do get one it's usually a no thanks. That's fine by me. If people are being rude to you just block them and move on. I know everyone is different , but I also know I'm not going to be shagging every lady on here. Sometimes when a person doesn't reply and just deletes your message it is rude but slanging them off won't sort it out.x |

I always send polite messages and always get a reply.
I believe its because usually its clear my messages are not trying to meet for a fuck.
Im usually sending a message to compliment someones profile information, a very well artistic photo, or a stupid/attempted-witty response to a status update they posted. Yeah, i use fab more for social connections with people with same mind than the actual sex its self. Lol |

it doesn't matter if the sender thinks they're not lazy and a gesture of friendliness. What gets them accepted or declined is the recipient's view on them. Sent even with the friendliest of intentions a friend request alone will still be binned as lazy if the recipient sees them as lazy.
you wouldn't in real life walk up to a stranger and ask them to be your friend before talking to them. I don't get why being on line changes that? It's still ultimately a person your interacting with. |

I always send polite messages, because that's the way that I was brought up. To respect women and to respect the word NO.
I hope for a reply, but if I don't get one, even if it's a TBNT, then that probably says more about them than me.
And if it is TBNT, then it's respected and left at that. |

"I prefer to send friend invites.
They're not lazy.
They're not insulting.
They are a gesture of friendliness.
If someone accepts then I'll take that as it's OK to chat.
If not, C'est la vie. "
No one gets to be my friend without interacting with me first both on here and in the real world. You honestly think someone you'd be able to walk up to a stranger on the street and say we're friends now, without saying anything else to them or do you think they might get a "excuse me but who the fuck are you?" Type response for trying it. Same basic principles apply online to publicly meeting someone, why so many people think otherwise truly baffles me |

Polite messages always, usually with my attempt at humour and never about fancy a fuck.
I'm here for a chat and if it works out and we meet then thats a bonus.
Mixed success (mostly no reply) but im not bothered, certainly wouldn't change to try and get sex...

it doesn't matter if the sender thinks they're not lazy and a gesture of friendliness. What gets them accepted or declined is the recipient's view on them. Sent even with the friendliest of intentions a friend request alone will still be binned as lazy if the recipient sees them as lazy.
you wouldn't in real life walk up to a stranger and ask them to be your friend before talking to them. I don't get why being on line changes that? It's still ultimately a person your interacting with."
I'd never dream of sending a friend invite unless I'd interacted with the intended recipient or they'd made it clear it was OK. |

As many have already said in here we can't win really,I always try to be polite,will send a few pics,always compliment but hardly ever get replies,seems if your not "gym fit" you stand hardly any chance of even being spoken to let alone a meet,I've somehow had a couple of meets so I do count myself lucky lol.
However there's no need to kick off after rejection I wouldn't start with the verbal if I got turned down in person so I'm not gunna turn into the keyboard warrior because a woman wants a six pack over a good laugh |

A lot of people have much more revealing photos in their friends gallery. So you're often essentially asking to see those more private photos without even having asked.
I think that's how a fair few see it? |
