No means convince me
Jump to: Newest in thread
I know it's me letting silly things bother me. Got a lot of life stuff going on ATM, and my block button needs a rest.
But why, do so many guys (I say guys cause that's my experience) on here think a polite no thank you means convince me.
I've had three separate messages back today saying things like "I'm persistent" or " I'm not giving up until you say yes".
Is it a thing I'm just not getting... |

Not in the slightest.. it’s a thing they are not getting! No means unequivocally no! |

There is a guy currently messaging me everyday with just “Good morning”,
I have never opened a single message, it’s obvious I’m not interested.
At this stage I’m just curious for how long it will last.
It’s been 14 days so far. |

And if it does mean “no for now”, then ignoring it is a great way to turn it in to a “permanently no”. |

I think it's more nuanced than this. Sometimes a no is a no and sometimes there's a bit of room for maneuver. I say this from my own experience as a single from times I've initially been rebuffed but turned that around with a bit of effort. But that only works if you're not completely tone death.
And it's not been about the chase either or applying pressure or being beggy. It's only worked because of no pressure, just keeping the lines of communication open and letting things develop. Obviously a line of communication is a two way thing, so if nothing is coming back you have an answer clear as day.
So I have no problem with people chancing their arm. Over history a lot of good things may not have been if people gave up on the first rebuff. However it's important to understand the difference between a bit of persistence and being annoying and creepy. And why anyone thinks being annoying and creepy gets you anywhere I don't know

I reply and say there's no way in hell any woman should meet a man who can't take no for answer and he could be dangerous and he should get help.
That usually makes them think about what they're doing.
Not always. |

Blame Bond…….(60’s, 70’s and 80’s Bond)
No James….oh you don’t mean that…..No James…..oh come on….No James…..etc etc
Final scene James is in bed with the girl who is now saying yes.
Unfortunately the behaviour has been ingrained into the male psyche for many many years.
Hopefully as time changes and what we see on TV and film changes then maybe just maybe it will change.
Admittedly that’s not all men, but it’s there. |

You won't get an answer to your question unfortunately. The best thing to do is not to reply to messages you're not interested in, then you're far less likely to receive such messages. Some people probably send 100s of messages and will forget who they messaged, if they get a reply with a polite "no thank you" it will jog their memory and they think theres no harm in sending another message! |

I think it's sad and dangerous when men won't take no for an answer,
Personally if I get a polite "No thank you" then I will always reply back thanking the sender for taking the time to respond so politely, and wishing them all the best on their journey

I’m 100% you, personally I’d rather have a no than no reply, as you said, you can then just thank them for the message and move on… that said, if I got 100 messages a day like some of the ladies do, I wouldn’t be responding to them all either haha |

There is two sides of the fence to this, where some ladies like to be coy about saying no, so as to not seem as keen as they are. They like to have guys chasing them and thrive on the attention that they get. I know two women personally who thrive on having more than one guy competing for their affection and are happy to lap it up.

Now that one deserves to be blocked, because that sounds like he thinks you're in a relationship or something.
He sounds like a little Norman Bates still behaving nicely.

As a man in an MF couple who does the admin and has single men blocked from messaging us, I am totally bubble-wrapped from the kind of "communication" that single women are used to receive. However, I can relate to the OP post.
When we are rejected by a couple, I am always grateful to have a reply, so I thank them and move on. I would not imagine ourselves saying "we are persistent" or "won't give up until you say yes".
It would be ludicrous and we have never received such a ridiculous response.
But on occasion, when we are the ones not interested, some couples come back with a "why don't you give it a go?" Or "just meet us for a social, no harm if there's no spark".
The harm is that we have limited time to spend in swinging. If there's no spark now, there won't be any spark later. If one or both of us don't find a couple's profile attractive, it does not matter how you come across in person. We'll have a nice chat together, go back home saying "what a lovely couple they were", but will not create an attraction that was not there in the first place. |

First date worry:
Him: I hope she looks like her photos
Her: I hope he doesn't try to s/a or unalive me..
My block button gets used for this type of person... Creep me out and you're on the list, refuse a polite no and continue sexualised conversation and I'll assume you're incapable of following instructions and hearing what I'm saying.. |

That's a good point. I did always think Bond was a bit of a dick back then for that reason. |

An unfortunate side effect of the trendyism of swinging.
Too many getting involved when they don’t really understand the lifestyle. Too many see it as a simple fuck… and whilst the problem is undoubtedly mainly with males, there are a number of women here who view it in the same way.

Interesting thinking … Question for those experiencing this … is the issue age related? I mean is it the younger male or is there no pattern?

What they mean is “I am a coercive controller person “

Unfortunately porn still plays a part in this too, particularly in the lifestyle scene.
Where some guys believe that because someone is on this website they are the same as the girls they watch in porn movies. |

It’s not you ‘letting silly things bother’ you, you are allowed to feel what you feel, but in my experience when I have got riled up over things on here it’s gone hand in hand with me being riled up in general and needing some sort of self care or a break |

I don't get it. If someone replies to say they're not interested then why persist. All it does is annoy people and waste everyones time.
If I get a "thanks but no thanks" type message I tend to reply thanking them for their reply and wishing them well. Hopefully it goes a long way to showing people that all single males are not arseholes. |

Not much of a pattern, the older male can be just as disrespectful by ignoring a no, if not slightly more than the younger ones in my experience |

In my experience, older men are much more likely to do this. |

Just block them OP
I have many messages that have significant follow up messages as to why I didn’t reply or don’t reply!
The one that makes me laugh the most is a lad messaged consistently and on his last messages asked me to block him to saves himself embarrassment of him messaging me again.. now this deserves his only reply of “or you could stop messaging me” before I hit the block button x |
