I am curious to find out why there is so much hatred shown towards men on this site. Not only that but any recommendations made by a man are instantly dismissed. So I honestly would like to know why there is such a hateful culture towards men on here and why do you get off on making someone else feel shit. I also would like to know why Admin are hiding in the corner and not dealing with this situation. This site was meant to be fun and social what happened to make it this.
Some are decent people on here however unfortunately most aren’t. I honestly can say I have had a dreadful experience and definitely wouldn’t recommend this site as it currently operates. |

Sorry to hear you've had a dreadful experience OP although as you've not provided detail of what it was it's difficult to comment.
As for the rest of your post, I can honestly say in 18 months of using the site I've not seen a general hatred of men at all, in fact quite the opposite - sure some men (usually those with an entitled attitude that expect sex just for signing up) get a tough time on here, but usually deservedly so.
You've not provided detail of why you think the way you do,so again difficult to comment objectively. |

"Anyone catch who he was?

Ah  "
And therefore to be derided by the forum clique at any and every opportunity. It's no wonder some people don't stick around. |

I think you take things far to seriously....no one is deriding the op.
It's a case of getting stuck in on the forums and people will eventually connect and talk more.
That is not a clique it is people who have come to notice each other and chat a little.
If the op was a regular perhaps he would have recognised this in time.
As it was it seems he used the forum to have a rant on his experience of the whole site.
Just how I read it in that brief post you quoted. |

Completely agree. Shame your time typing appears to have been for nothing (at least as OP is concerened)
Anyone who has thought the same as the original post; take note here.
Wise words indeed. |

Took note and disagreed with it lol.
It's not as bad as mr unlos made out obviously. But there is plenty of anti male sentiment. Always has been in the 4 years I have been around. Granted some bring it on themselves but not in all cases. I could point you in the direction of a couple of users who you would easily see via green arrow what I am in about. I'll avoid the forum holiday though ta haha. |

If you are part of the accepted group on here then of course you wouldn't understand the OPs comments ,sometimes the new people get ignored or get negative comment and obviously some are affected by it more than others ,you have to have a tough skin to venture into the chat rooms on these sites  |

If you haven't got a tough skin, then perhaps Fab isnt the place for you
Alot of people seem to moan that they cant get layed, and try and dress their moan up as something else
I somehow doubt that OP experienced any 'hate' |

It's disdain more than hatred. The attitudes of some women come about because of their own ability to use filters, manage their accounts and accept that, on a site where people are offering sex, they are going to get sexual messages.
And, we all know, women love a moan. |

The women who constantly whinge about men could also do with toughening up a bit. |

The forums can appear as cliques.
Important for we single, unverified males, not to equate other people's indifference to dislike.
Even if we know we are nice chaps, who have flaws like everyone else, and are failing to find sex; and nobody seems to notice...
Hello?
Echo......

Indeed, but obviously on the main , those on the inside will disagree with those on the outside.

I didn't say it doesn't exist - which is why I said I haven't seen a "general" hatred of men (although to be honest "hatred" is a little strong - think someone else used the word disdain, which is probably more accurate) although whatever word you use, I honestly don't think it's as widespread as is often suggested.
I think part of the problem with the single guys on here that feel they are not having a good experience, is that they look for something to blame (apart from themselves) rather than looking for reasons as to why it might not be what they expected and taking action to address those reasons - which then ends up in rant posts like the OP's on this thread. |

Yeah, basically they get no interest, because their attitudes stink
And then they blame everyone else

Yeah the one posted by the woman is mainly full of single guys falling over themselves to grab attention
The one posted by the single guy doesn't have anything derogatory and he didn't exactly give people much to work on (which the lady who posted did).
Either way don't think that necessarily proves anything to be honest |

Yeah absolutely. Hate is far too strong a word for it. But trust me a quick search will show you anti male rethoric on posts other than single male look at my profile threads. Not a huge issue by any means but you can see some posters turn to man bashing quite quickly. Some of said posters are men but that's a whole diffetent kettle of fish! |

What do you mean by complacency? Who is complacent? And why?"
many women get so many messages that they can't physically answer them i know this because one woman in particular I've known a while rarely reads my messages I send her i hasten to add she likes me ,I now have her kik but their has to be a complacency because some are concerned about being rude and not replying where some have come to terms with the fact its impossible to keep everyone happy so don't care anymore ,a bit like a nurse or doctor who deals with death and illness everyday they can't physically show the emotion and commitment that drove them to that profession in the first place |

As for the rest of your post, I can honestly say in 18 months of using the site I've not seen a general hatred of men at all, in fact quite the opposite - sure some men (usually those with an entitled attitude that expect sex just for signing up) get a tough time on here, but usually deservedly so.
You've not provided detail of why you think the way you do,so again difficult to comment objectively.
Completely agree. Shame your time typing appears to have been for nothing (at least as OP is concerened)
Anyone who has thought the same as the original post; take note here.
Wise words indeed.
Took note and disagreed with it lol.
It's not as bad as mr unlos made out obviously. But there is plenty of anti male sentiment. Always has been in the 4 years I have been around. Granted some bring it on themselves but not in all cases. I could point you in the direction of a couple of users who you would easily see via green arrow what I am in about. I'll avoid the forum holiday though ta haha.
I didn't say it doesn't exist - which is why I said I haven't seen a "general" hatred of men (although to be honest "hatred" is a little strong - think someone else used the word disdain, which is probably more accurate) although whatever word you use, I honestly don't think it's as widespread as is often suggested.
I think part of the problem with the single guys on here that feel they are not having a good experience, is that they look for something to blame (apart from themselves) rather than looking for reasons as to why it might not be what they expected and taking action to address those reasons - which then ends up in rant posts like the OP's on this thread.
I agree. There are a handful of women and couples who post regularly on any thread that berates men, and cheer each other on. It makes it seem like there is a lot of hate for men, on here.
Some of them aren't even meeting any more.
Perhaps they just dont broadcast their sex life to the world?
Perhaps?
A possibility maybe?"
They must be lying on their profiles or on threads then. I'm not surmising. |

I see this too. But if you dare to speak out, then your next! But "All that is necessary for the triumph of eveil is that good people do nothing"....ok, evil maybe too far, but you get the gist. |

Whilst not an overt hatred on here for men, there are enough people who like to boost their egos by having a go at an easy target. That target is usually single men because nobody jumps to theirs defence. Indeed, many men also kick the single man because they think it makes them look better. That combined with the general ignoring of single men could lead to the feeling that they aren't particularly welcome, especially in the forums.
Is there a clique? I dunno. Maybe. There are so many people that freeze out others, or derail threads through their tail chasing of their forum friends, it might well look like a clique. |

Ladies I understand TheBrain is referring to members of the forum who make it obvious they are not meeting. Both on their profiles and their forum activity. When one posts one is sick of men and I don't meet them anymore you can only really come to one conclusion. Lot of people are very forward about the fact they are just here for the forums and to keep in contact with friends. |

"Anyone catch who he was?
Not a regular forumite
Ah
And therefore to be derided by the forum clique at any and every opportunity. It's no wonder some people don't stick around.
There is no clique. Just people who join in the silly conversations and threads, rather than just moan about the lack of sex... "
I agree.  |

I'm not talking about them posting that they are sick of men. It's the jumping on threads or posts made by men purely to put them down or take the piss out of them. I commented on one yesterday. |

Aye to be clear that was just a throw away comment I was using to refer to how it's clear some people are obviously not meeting or it would suggest they wern't. Sorry. |
