Theres lots of posts on here commenting on 'women' not replying to messages,,,reasons being- too many to answer, and men not reading profiles before messaging,,?? Hang on- we have messages from male/ female/ couples who do the exact same so the majority of us are guilty of this, just a little suggestion but to save all the " He does, she does, they do this' would it not be easier to just put on your status ' Thanks for messages guys, those without reply- sorry not for me but happy swinging',,, it takes 2 mins and saves all slating each other, We can spend time on here but not 2 mins to send a polite message??? We all expect respect- is it not about time we all gave it too? |

Ah but surely replying to every unsuitable approach would lead to threads bemoaning how someone people simply cant handle rejection .....
I could publish a book from the amount of disgruntled shit'ograms I receive from people who cant handle polite rejection .....  |

Just got a message from a guy 5 foot 9,says he loves my pics and profile and would I like to meet...often I just ignore these but I just said how strange it is that he has read my profile and yet never noticed the very prominent point that I like my men to be at least six foot...finicky of me I know but I just got fed up of guys arriving that I could put under my arm and run away with.i await his next message with baited breath. |

Maybe if some grew up and stopped behaving like babies whinging just because someone they never spoke to before didn't answer their message.
Boo hoo.
No reply means not interested.
You shouldn't need site rules to tell you.
You shouldn't need anyone to tell you.
Grow up.
And if you are going to start whinging about others being rude?
What the hell do you want to interact with rude people for? |

It appears that he knows he is under 6 foot and straight but has been with a tgirl before so thought he'd ask anyway.
The urge to tell him to fuck right off is strong but I believe I shall just ignore as usual,I'm too polite by half!. |

Yep!
I'm 6' short men just don't do it for me either.
But I do love playing the 'banter game' when they carry on sending messages trying to convince me what they lack in height they make up for in other ways.
I don't care how big their cock is, how they can leave me a jibbering wreck with their tongue.
But bless them for their efforts lol! |

We state in our profile that no reply means a polite no thank you and a couple of circumstances under which we won't reply. Despite this we still get messages from people who have ignored the things we say we don't reply to.
I have no reason to believe that putting those things in our status update would make any difference.
Also a guy who had messaged us having clearly not read our profile started a thread once. He complained that despite religiously reading profiles and only contacting people whose criteria he matched nobody responded and we were all rude. I now take the whinging with a very large pinch of salt.

I had on my profile if they didn't meet my criteria I wouldn't reply, and I didn't!
Anyone who met my criteria received a response, whether it was a yeah or nay.
I've been on sites where a customised autoresponse was sent to those contacting you outside your criteria.
Do you think that made people happy? Did it fuck!!!
You're dealing with some who feel entitled/fragile egos. However you say "no" will still piss them off. |

Sorry but I don't agree, some messages are wholly inappropriate and it would mean I would be thanking those people too. I have found if I send a polite no thanks it leads to it being questioned and the person saying they will come to me ect, I,'ve had a man being very rude saying my expectations were too high as i didn't want to travel to him by train miles away. No sorry I don't think I need to take 2 mins to reply to each message. I have tried it, it doesn't work. You run your profile how you want and let others run theirs how they want. X |

Indeed I have.... and I try so hard to be humble about it but that's a tall order for someone like me ...  |

. Great idea. My g/f tried to help a single guy who was new on site other week on fab regarding messages. Basically he'd been blocked by a single women then named and shamed her on his update for not replying to messages before he got blocked. We both messaged him as she had a single women's profile for years and me a single guys profile so felt could help well after spending a good hour or so messaging we realised was wasting our time. I tried to explain some women get hundreds of messages a day and wasn't always possible to reply. Especially working full time and life outside of fab but sadly his response was should always reply. Always think you should never get upset if you don't get replies

If someone doesn't respond then move on.
You may not be what they are looking for and they simply don't want to respond or don't have time. There are some people that will take the time to reply but if they don't then simply keep calm and carry on.

"Fellas - Delete the 'sent' folder so you can't stew over wether your mail has been read or not.
I hardly ever read my mail. I'm here for the forums."
+1 for this. Delete your sent and move on. |

It doesn't tak much to say "Thanks but no thanks." Then again, it takes even less to take no reply as a "Thanks but no thanks" and move on withlout sending an offensive message about how you never fancied them anyway, then posting a request on the forum that people change their habits.
Perhaps if people had respect in the first place, the practice of ignoring basic and expectant messaging - "ur hot lets chat" - would never have evolved to become the norm.
Happy swinging! |

I see your point.
As has been said there are those that receive hundreds of messages a week and to simply reply to each and every one would mean you have no normal life or need to invest in a PA specifically for Fab  |

Brilliant thread OP.
So many replies that prove they can't read the OP!! Love it.
When I have a serious profile I do say something along the lines of "no reply means no thank you". It seems to work well.
I also agree respect works both ways. It's crazy how many people demand respect but don't give it.  |

I read the OP and replied to that, the putting of a message on status. Which incidentally wouldn't work anyway as status messages are time limited and also how are we supposed to put "horny could do with some cock" on our status if it's already saying " sorry for not replying to a message i am not actually sorry for replying too coz you haven't read my profile, your a cock, too far away ect" ?? |

Your one line message is very expansive and as I'm a bit thick (IQ under 70?) You will have to break it down for a simpleton like me...  |

if i do not like a message i just delete
if they send continuous messages i block and delete
i never send messages first, i lets them message me and not short of offers to worry or concern me  |

Put an auto-reply 'no thanks', with the option of blocking and reply levels will rocket. The forum will go quiet and men will moan about the volume of rejection they get in black and white - then moan that they are leaving |

How many people here see your phone ring number comes up u know its a telesales company...now do you ignore it move on and forget it done and dusted.or do you answer the phone to this person you don't know that is offering something ur not interested in...just to say thanks for your call but I'm not interested just to get them questioning u about u not being interested and omg not taking no for an answer till u rudely slam the phone down making u look like the bad person....sure u all get the analogy here |
