"Do you feel guilty when you don't reply to messages? "

No, although it is on my profile that if I don't reply, take it as a "thanks but no thanks"

But as we know, not many people read profiles

I'm not sure if guilty is the word.. But whenever anyone messages me I feel that I have to reply, because I feel like a rude, disrespectable cunt otherwise.

I don't think females should feel bad. I take the hint and don't message again.

My issue is when their profile is just them moaning about the types of messages they don't want to receive, without giving you much to go on, yet they expect to be sent something 'fab'. Mostly puts me off so I don't bother

It's not a lack or respect to not respond.

Should I spend hours each day replying to messages from people I've no interest in?

Should I take the time to reply to people who clearly couldn't be fucked reading my profile?

Really boils my piss to be called rude or disrespectful for not spending my life on fab responding to total strangers.

Look at it another way - do you feel like a rude disrespectful c**t when you don't respond to emails you receive from Nigerian princes offering you millions? Or flyers from the local pizza company offering a special deal that's of no interest?

Of course you don't - and it's exactly the same principle as sending someone a message on here that they didn't specifically ask *you* to send - so why should people feel that way here?

Yeah when it's someone you've swapped several messages with and have built a connection with it might be different but not a complete stranger sending you an unsolicited message.

It is a way of someone saying no thank you. I'm sure if you were unindated with messages, you would soon realise that it's a thankless task, replying to those you were not interested in. You would spend more time doing that, than investing the time into those you do want to get to know better. It's really not a respect issue. It's in the faq's. It's a persons way of saying they are not interested. It would be handy if there were a butting that could be pressed, whereby a profile could give an automated 'not interested' reply, but until then, this is the next best thing.

Yeah everyone's different, but how can people *know* you're not going to be the type that will kick off or get abusive if they say no.

You also need to remember that replying then bypasses any future filters they may choose to set.

Being a match on paper, using very basic criteria, does not mean that there is any attraction that would be needed to make something work.

We could walk into a room of 100 men of the exact same age, height, physical characteristics and personality but find none attractive. A sense of entitlement will probably be evident and perceived by some, which will deter.

Single men are prolific here, so we get to find those who may match us, rather than endure those who are unattractive, as if it's our duty as a Handmaid. Those who come with the assumption that we could be desperate,need to use their brains, if this is possible

Exactly. Just because someone says they are attracted to tall, dark haired men, with an athletic body, does not mean they are going to be attracted to every single man who is tall, dark haired and gym fit.

Mrs here-

Nope. Sometimes I try to be polite and it fails.

Sometimes any response even no is construed as an invite to keep messaging

Sometimes people are too rude to warrant a response

Sometimes cut and paste messages that show they’ve not even noticed it’s a couples account puts me off

Sometimes there’s too many messages to have the emotional energy to coddle each person.

I try to be nice but it just takes a lot of energy that I don’t always have.

With respect I'm not the one complaining about people not responding to my messages and ignoring the advice given - nothing "yes man" or "plastic" about that - perhaps I have learned what works and is the most positive way to use the site and therefore have absolutely no issues with it - ever considered that?

I totally appreciate that no response means no interest - it's their perogative and that's perfectly fine with me, but those analogies described aren't the same. A) The Nigerian Prince is a scammer, they're just after your money. That's not a real Nigerian Prince sending you the e-mail and B) The flyer is an equivalent of a copy and paste message - they are not targeting you individually, they don't know anything about what you're looking for and is totally speculative. It sounds like the OP was saying that he felt the person he was messaging was a match based on what they were looking for on their profile. Personally, I would reply to anyone that sent me a message if I thought they were sending it to me as an individual, but I also defend people's right to simply ignore if there's no interest.

If someone has knocked you back, yet you keep on trying, I would think that makes you seem desperate and harassing to the person you are messaging and could explain why you are getting blocked by some people op.

I used to try and be polite and respond to everyone. Unfortunately some guys just can't take the hint at responses saying literally "thanks for messaging me, but I am not interested. Good luck"

They will continue to reply.

I now just delete or ignore messages I don't want to respond too (usually dick pic, "hi babe" or blank avatar)

"Do you feel guilty when you don't reply to messages? "

If someone has gone to a lot of effort to send me a personalised message and really tries to connect but I don’t like them for whatever reason, I reply.

If I replied to every, “hey, how’s you” type message I would honestly have to quit my job to get through my fab admin. I’m pretty confident that’s the case for every single woman on here.

Here’s what the fab admins have to say about it from https://m.fabswingers.com/articles/FAQ#noreply

“It's not rude not to reply.

Some ladies and couples get hundreds of messages a day so it simply isn't possible for them to reply to everyone. If you don't get a response, you should assume they aren't interested. If you're getting a lot of "no-replies" then you should consider your profile and the messages you send. Are they giving the right message? Are you standing out from the thousands of other guys on here?“

Nope my profile is clear what I'm looking for. I often just mass delete so don't even open them if I can see from the preview message

I get what he's saying. As a guy who used to flick through my local FAB list of ladies, spot ones that appealed to me, who's criteria I matched, and then spent good time thinking about what to write based on what she'd written on her profile and her sexual interests, enclosed a face pic with the first message as requested and then posted it off with every hope and anticipation that I've finally found 'the one', and then wait and wait and wait,and keep checking my sent mail to see if she's read it yet, and then....read and deleted.

Start again!! Multiply this over and over and over again...

It gets like climbing a mountain when it's covered in ice and there's an army throwing oil down at you!! It's constant fail try again, fail try again, fail try again...and It's soul destroying and heart breaking. It's like every time you give it your very best effort you're slapped in the face cos it's not good enough.

If you've ever watched Take me Out on TV and see the things the girls reject the guys for...wrong colour socks, don't like his sister or his hobby or his pet dog etc...

I'd be happy to change some of those things for the right girl. No problem. I'm only doing some of them because there's no girl in my life.

So I just pretty much gave up writing and sending messages. If anyone wants to send me any I would gladly reply, but guys pretty much don't get any mail at all, probably because girls fear rejection, please correct me If I'm wrong.

A better concept might be for guys to be banned from sending first messages, girls only, and nobody is allowed to view anyone's profile in stealth mode.

Ladies, when you are interested in a guy how do you let him know?

I pretty much reply to all my messages but definitely don't even feel bad for the ones that I do just delete ... to flip it around, I wonder if the guys that write the bad messages feel guilty? How I view them is that you can't be vile on here without having it within you in the first place.

Everyone else I reply to basically out of common decency.

Nobody messes it up for anyone else. The only person you mess things up for, is yourself. How other people interact with me doesn’t affect how I view the men on fab.

I wish people would realise this, and stop blaming others

I don't feel bad at all. I delete every message I get that doesn't use the specified word as the subject. It helps me see at a glance who has bothered to read my profile before messaging.

That gets rid of about 8/10 messages I get, I read the rest and look at their profiles to see if we're on the same page and if I'm attracted to them. If not, I'll delete- otherwise I reply.

"Do you feel guilty when you don't reply to messages? "

Not in the slightest. There's usually a reason why I don't. We're not compatible, the sender hasn't read my profile and determined we're a match, the message content is inappropriate for an introduction, and many more.

Occassionally if its a nice message

but replying usually ends up with them trying to convince me to chat/meet

I get you, but we are not all the same.

I've been ignored and blocked for trying to start a conversation with women who haven't given me the time of day.

Yeah everyone's different, but how can people *know* you're not going to be the type that will kick off or get abusive if they say no.

You also need to remember that replying then bypasses any future filters they may choose to set.

As Holly said, no reply is a perfectly acceptable way of saying "thanks but no thanks" here and is even listed in the site FAQs as such.

The sooner guys realise and accept that the easier it will be for all.

Do you allways walk away from the first knock back in life? Or do you try again?

You allways sound like a yes man. Stop being plastic.

He actually sounds like a decent guy who know how the site works and tries to give advice to the people who think every woman should spend hours on here replying to guys who they won't meet and have no interest in. You on the other hand put post upon post up giving out about the women on here and then wonder why you don't get messages answered. I know who'd I reply to.

Yes, when we had that we were meeting on it people still mailed even if we didn't match. It doesn't take long to say no thanks

As others have stated; no reply means not interested, that's the simple answer. There's no guilt involved in not responding to people you have no interest in engaging with.

Even the best thought out message is liable to be deleted with no response if you're not what they're looking for or they don't find you attractive.

I totally understand why some men get fed up. It must be soul destroying to send decent messages and get nothing back.

I think banning men from mailing would be a great idea. But there is a site like that already. Don't know if it works.

I also think many men *do* spoil it for everyone. When they are abusive it puts women off replying to anyone at all.

Many men latch on to someone who replies and won't leave them alone. Probably because it's the only human response they've had on here, so can't really blame them for that. But it's another reason women don't reply at all.

Or the ones who send initially nice messages and assure you that they're nice guys, not like the other guys, so, so nice, nice on stilts I tell you! And you take a chance and respond, and you're a worthless fat whore and no man will ever take you, know your place, bitch!

I just feel guilty if I dont reply to people.

Even if a woman who I I'm not attracted to at all, messages me il still have the deceny to reply back.

I know women get a lot of messages though and it must be almost impossible to reply to them all. But sometimes it gets to me and I have to rant on about it lol.
