"Another single guy bashing post? Couples can be just as bad! Get over it and move on!"
Agreed! I've been contacted by women AND couples who have clearly stated in their profiles that I'm outside of their age range.
Cake and eat it too? |

Expecting to be slated as a "single guy" profile... but....
The age PREFERENCES can be flexible to some people and set in stone for others. The only way to find out is to politely message and ask. If the FILTERS block you from doing so..they are set in stone. If they dont stop you messaging then perhaps they are a little flexible.
Being able to message someone doesnt mean manners go out the window.
Some of the responsibility should lay in the profile owners to set their preferences and filters. |

However if you try to mail someone who isn't looking for your age then a WARNING comes up form the site telling you they are not looking for your age do you just ignore it point blankly? |

Same applies with smokers - I am one & clearly stated on the profile that I smoke Still get lots of messages from people who "won't meet smokers"
Couldn't be that the preferences go out the window if there is a chance of getting lucky could it? |

The problem with the filters is before we realised about it we would reply back to them and say no thanks. Now when we have the message filter on they can still message us again because we have replied previously. So the block button ends up being used. We have this every so often, we only look for up to 35 year olds and had one person saying I don't see what the difference is between 35 and 49 year olds and being rude and begging us to give him a chance. |

Now I will confess, I have mailed people when out of their age range, Why???
Because it is up to them if they sway from it and it may not always set in stone.
If they are very attractive I will send a compliment and never expect a reply as well.
I'm cheeky and have managed to meet some whose age range I am out of.
If you are not prepared to sway set your mail settings rigidly...

but the warning does not tell you not to mail them it just warns you you may not be what they are looking for
i get mail daily from couples even tho im not looking for them, i have not blocked them because it makes no odds to me if they mail me or not im still not meeting them and the odd mail from someone im not after isn't the end of the world us it? However if it did bother me i would filter them out, not leave it open for them to mail then bitch about it when its is easily avoided, i really think some people just like to moan to be honest, its like they goad the attention so they can complain about it |

Obviously u have not blocked out receipt of messages from peeps outside yr age limits. That in itself begs the question 'why not ' ?? The facility is there to b used n if u can't b arsed to use it there's no point griping on here is there??? |

I take offence at the part of your message which states "what is it with men on this site"
You are indicating that all men are the same. We are not and I would not message you if I was over your age limits on your profile page. |

"Another single guy bashing post? Couples can be just as bad! Get over it and move on!"
I have to agree that couples, single fems etc are equally as bad for that, it seems a lot of people on the site are unable to read numbers!!
We do have the filters turned on, but unfortunately it doesn't block people who have messaged you in the past. |

It's a common fact that no men on this site can read. |

But ur thinking is very flawed! I like my couples and woman around my age but my single guys strictly younger.. Yet I can't set the filter of ages to different ages for different groups!
So doesn't mean they are flexible at all.. Just that the filters don't work properly for them!
As for this being a guy bashing thread, if the person writing it has only experience of the problem from single guys then they are talking from experience only.. Why do people take things against single guys so badly..
At the end of the day the amount of hassle you get from single guys on here is a lot more common than from all the other groups put together.. But everyone knows it isn't all single guys.. Jez |

I've had men contact random men in my area asking them to contact me on their behalf to get through my filters.
Now I ask you? |

Remember the fact of Fab, single guys are NOT allowed to be offended whatever is said by anyone!
We are here to be slated and all branded as idiots because a few guys behave like that.
'Some' couples and 'some' ladies are just as bad as 'some' men....
I am not claiming that some guys dont behave well on fab, but we are all NOT like that ! |

the question of what is it with the men on the site?..its purely about a ratio
the smaller the gender group the less the idiots
easy to work out when u know what the majority of fab is
try not pulling the tarnishing brush effect OP is my advice |
