How honest are you to people who message? Perhaps not the first time, perhaps you’re polite and make up something to ease the blow? However I have noticed the same old people Keep looking at me and then message again a few weeks later and I want to be totally frank and say ´I don’t find you attractive’ is that harsh?

I could block but my block list is quite long already

I ignore those I've no interest in. I don't see the point in entering into meaningless chat with them only to tell them something negative.

Better to tell them straight, but not say "no thanks ugly" Leave no ambiguity in the message, and subsequent block to end any chance of nasty, insulting comebacks.

Our policy. Ignore messages we are not interested in. Block if they send a second message.

By sending rejection messages, you are just laying yourself open to abuse.

To be fair though there's nothing stopping people from sending abuse if you ignore them anyway.

Ignore or tell them no thanks they can still send a nasty message.

I had one today who I did like the body of and was really interested if it could go further, but he admitted he had ignored one part of my profile so I found it easy enough to say sorry there was no initial attraction for me which he was ok with, so onwards and upwards with the search I suppose (needs a shrug emoji)

I can never see the point of sending a rejection message. A guy sees he has a message in his in box, gets all excited, then gets all deflated when he sees its a rejection.

If it's obvious a guy has read my profile but I don't find him attractive I'll reply with something along the lines of 'thanks for your message but I'm not interested/you're too far/you're unable to accommodate' but if not I just delete.

I see what your mean about some guys feeling a bit meh though, perhaps I'll just delete from now on.

As someone that has been on the receiving end of a few truly horrible messages on here (I've been told to fuck off fatty twice and once told to leave the site to the people that are actually attractive enough to have sex with) I sometimes think being ignored is better unless it's a nice let down.

At least if you see a message is read but deleted it gives me a bit of closure on the subject and I mentally add them to the list of people that aren't interested.

(Okay the mental list is the Fab population.)

It's a no either way isn't it? If you're messaging someone that can't reply because they have too many massages then you're unlikely to get anywhere with them anyway. They're far too popular to use filters daaarrrhhhlllling

To put some perspective on it..

As a couple of a Certain age we don't get that many messages but it's probably an average of ten a day of which about 90% are men

So that's 3650 messages a year. Given other things we have going on in our lives, we probably only see five new people a year, and probably chat to about five people for every one we meet.

So, effectively there is a less than 1% chance of anyone being of interest to us. Typing out thousands of rejection messages would be soul destroying for us, never mind the recipients.

Just ignore and/or block. You're unlikely to change your opinion on them, so you don't lose anything.

I suppose if you DID feel they deserve a polite rejection you could go with too young/old/close/far away etc, but that will probably encourage pleading along the lines of "I look younger/older" or "I can be discrete/travel" etc.

Easier just to ignore/block.

I think better to say you are not interested. Ignoring can be seen as they are at the bottom of your pile, so they keep messaging to jump to top. Say not interested first time. Block second/ if any abuse. Also bad if you read message, but stay silent...

"How honest are you to people who message? Perhaps not the first time, perhaps you’re polite and make up something to ease the blow? However I have noticed the same old people Keep looking at me and then message again a few weeks later and I want to be totally frank and say ´I don’t find you attractive’ is that harsh?

I could block but my block list is quite long already

As someone who has looked at your profile quite often but never messaged... be honest.

Havent messaged because of distance but like your posts and really like your pics x

Who me?! You’re a bit far Im afraid, your profile looks good, but I know what I want but it’s a needle In a haystack to be honest and I know it’s unlikely I’ll find it on FAB as too many ´meet now?’ Types "

Yes you.. you are a very attractive woman so yes i admit i will look at your profile and your pics. Not as wank fodder by the way but because looking at beutiful things please me. If i was closer you would have certainly recieved a message. I know you are too far away so there is no point messaging.

Oh by the way if you havn't yet twigged.. your so sexy !!

"Whenever I've said " sorry I don't find you attractive " I normally get abuse

so I find " sorry but you're not my type " an easier response

Seriously, why on earth would you tell someone you don't think they're attractive. That's always going to hurt.

I often have used that phrase, ‘sorry you’re not my type’ or ‘sorry you’re not what I’m looking for’ usually suffices. If they continue to message I delete the messages and ignore them

Thanks tea monkey "

Maybe it read harshly as I’ve written it here, I’m not brusque or nasty about it. It’s just a plain statement of my subjective opinion, that’s how I see it. That still reads as harsh...

It depends on the message and if they have read my profile.

If they have a cock picture avatar I will delete, if they send an attached picture of there cock I will delete. If they talk about sex I will delete. If someone has taken the time (excluding the above) to send me a message and Im not attracted to them. I will reply with something like " I feel we are not a match" all the best

Nor harsh but honest. We can't all fancy everybody who messages us. If you reject somebody you should never feel guilty. If they can't handle the rejection that is their problem not yours.

"Better to tell them straight, but not say "no thanks ugly" Leave no ambiguity in the message, and subsequent block to end any chance of nasty, insulting comebacks.

"

I agree. There is no need to send a nasty your fugly message. A simple sorry but you are not my type message is all that is needed. If they get arsey after you reject then block them.

I just block them.

Is there a maximum?

Asking for a friend "

I think somebody once said you can block 500 people maximum.

I look at my block list every now and again. If somebody has not logged in for over 3 months I remove them from my block list.

"Is ´I don’t find you attractive’ harsh? Surely it’s accurate. I’m sure I’m not everyones cup of tea "

I think it is better to say you are not my type. Less harsh. Of course, some men will then reply with things like What is your type?, I didn't want to shag you anyway you ugly cow, I didn't want to shag you anyway you fat bitch, etc. If that happens your friend the block button is there.

Touch wood i don’t get much. I have had one racist message after saying no. I was a bit shocked to be fair and thought my god what if I upset if when in his presence but probably a keyboard warrior

I can never see the point of sending a rejection message. A guy sees he has a message in his in box, gets all excited, then gets all deflated when he sees its a rejection.

Seems to me less cruel just to ignore. "

If you are not attracted to somebody I agree it is best to ignore the message. I would also block to stop repeat messages or receiving abusive messages.

Saying to somebody you don't find them attractive is really saying I think you are ugly.

It doesn't hurt to be nice and simply say you are not my type. Then you are not necessarily saying they are ugly. It could be that you are saying you prefer chunky guys rather than skinny guys like they guy you are rejecting.

You are not my type has a myriad of things that could be the reason they are not your type. Telling somebody you don't find them attractive leaves no doubt as to why you are rejecting them. To me syaing I don't find you attractive is a polite way of saying I think you are ugly.

Ignore or tell them no thanks they can still send a nasty message.

Most guys adopt the scatter gun approach. If you don't reply, they will forget they sent you a message. "

On here judt 8 weeks, learnt already to just delete & block.

I tried the nice approaches and got the nasty responses. Done with that!

I agree that they use the scattergun approach, it’s pretty accurate... Next !!

I really don't understand this.

The site rules are clear that no reply means no thanks. For added clarification, we put in our profile that if you don't get a reply within twenty four hours its a no thanks.

There, problem solved.

Nope, that's not harsh. If the guys (or girls) doing this can't pick up on or accept the fact that there's no interest (either by a no reply or a polite reply) then that's their problem. It takes two to tango and it's meant to be fun - life's too short to be worried about dicks.
