Has anyone ever actually received literally "a thanks but no thanks"? First time I've ever got one - I've had more positive ones, like have fun etc, or more usually just deletions - which I much prefer, but grrr to use that cliched phrase... |

To be fair, thus difficult to please everyone. I've done both ~ replied with a polite 'your not for us' if someone has gone to a bit of effort with their message, and just deleted the one liners. I've also been on the receiving end of both.
I'm sure different people refer different responses to messages, it's impossible to judge how to react if you don't know the sender.
Try not to take it personally, it's unlikely to be meant that way.

Surely that’s better than not replying at all? |

I find it perfectly acceptable, but not the abuse I’ve had in the past for “daring to message” |

I've sent and received "thanks bit no thanks" messages.
Don't see the problem tbh. It's polite enough. |

We have single guys blocked, I look out for guys when we're in the mood, but I seem to have missed you

I usually send 'thx but no thx' because I was told once too often that 'no thanks enjoy the site' was patronising/sarcastic |

OK fair enough - interesting reading people's views. I guess it's subjective. FOR ME, ideally I massively prefer a deletion...(I must confess I'm not a huge fan of blocks which again I've just had) or as one of the comments above shows a less cliched and more more friendly rejection...I personally find thanks but no thanks somewhat passive aggressive.
I just got a request for meet and I just ignored and will delete when I do a tidy up. Haven't wasted anyones time. |

I can imagine. No need for anyone to get abuse (unless they get weird and just won’t leave you alone lol) |

You should see the abuse us women get for declining. We go from "Hiya gorgeous" to "you fat ugly bitch" instantly.
Oh, that dented male ego... |

well that's not right. Like I say I just don't respond and delete. I would not dream of rejecting someone with words.
I've been off fab for a bit and on the normal world, interacting with girls in more regular environments and bars/clubs etc so I guess the whole Fab world and its aspects has just taken me aback a little ha ha. |

I’d much prefer a delete or non response....I send a message and forget about it.
So if I see an email, I don’t want it to be a thanks, but no thanks...as I’ve already moved on anyway  |

Maybe it’s just me but I really don’t understand them. Annoys the hell out of me when I hear of people doing. Just no need.
I was once browsing profiles (on fabguys I think it was) and viewed a profile that was actually a couple. Read it and could clearly tell I wasn’t “up to their standards” so closed it down and carried on. Few mins later received a message from them saying something along the lines of “don’t you ever f**king look at our profile again you fat, micro penised freak hahaha”
Oh how i cried myself to sleep that night (after viewing the profile anyone 10+ times) lol |

"I’ve even had a “ewwwwww no way” before and even worse
I've had much worse than that 
Eff of you ugly fat “see you next Tuesday” but with the proper words lol. I’ve had it all lol
"
Men tend to dislike 'no thx' type of messages a lot more than women/couples do! Being bi I message men, women and couples without a doubt men reply more frequently with the most abusive messages .........
'You fat slag I've just had a better look and your pics and wish I hadn't bothered messaging now!'
That was a reply I got because I said 'no thx enjoy the site' |

Some proper arseholes out there. Don’t see the need. Some men just can’t accept that anyone doesn’t want them. Crazy really. You look fine from what I’ve seen on your profile tho  |

Report abusive messages."
Usually do. It’s not just this site though. It’s all internet dating type sites in general that I’ve used in the past. |

It is actually nice to get some sort of reply instead of the normal delete  |

"If we are not interested its a "thanks but no thanks" followed by a block to prevent any back lash.
"
why not just block then …
sometimes (and I know this is rare) they message back to say thanks for letting me know...imagine them doing that to find they are blocked |

Happened to me several times. At first I got upset and thought “what the hell have I done to get blocked?” but now it’s like water off a ducks back. |

but it's still better than a delete without even looking at the message sent |

That's a fair point. I hadn't thought of it like that.
If you're not getting many responses you're probably going to get excited when your Messages button is lit up, only to be disappointed when you read it.
You've helped to confirm the strategy of simply deleting messages as it seems the kindest option. |

For me, no... I'm a Tgirl... I don't want to be a woman or indeed be referred to as 'convincing' as that's a) a bag of crap with my man hands and b) not what I try to achieve.
Touché though... It was a fine one liner bi-bunny x |

I mean I send one out because I find them aesthetically pleasing but I don’t worry about whether they’ve read it, deleted it, parked it.
If they are interested they will reply and when I go to my inbox - voila, reply.
Us single blokes don’t get a lot of messages, so I’d rsther they be nice messsges, rsther than rejection messages.

"Jeez,if you don't reply your called rude,now it's not acceptable to say thanks but no thanks?
Unbelievable
I find it perfectly acceptable, but not the abuse I’ve had in the past for “daring to message”
You should see the abuse us women get for declining. We go from "Hiya gorgeous" to "you fat ugly bitch" instantly.
Oh, that dented male ego...
Maybe it’s just me but I really don’t understand them. Annoys the hell out of me when I hear of people doing. Just no need.
I was once browsing profiles (on fabguys I think it was) and viewed a profile that was actually a couple. Read it and could clearly tell I wasn’t “up to their standards” so closed it down and carried on. Few mins later received a message from them saying something along the lines of “don’t you ever f**king look at our profile again you fat, micro penised freak hahaha”
Oh how i cried myself to sleep that night (after viewing the profile anyone 10+ times) lol "
That's totally unnecessary and uncalled for. Any point in reporting these people? Like to think fab wouldn't allow this, but not sure if they'd be able to keep up x |

Can you blame us for deleting and blocking?"
Look at it this way. At least you can fuck yourselves, whereas the abuser has to sit alone and have a furious angry wank! |

They are using the site tools and blocking men from mailing them so they don't get inundated with messages. They found a man they liked the look of - you - so you block them?! Why would you do that? |

I just don’t feel I’ll connect very well with someone who presumes I’m at their beck and call after they’ve completed their selection process.Its not just me I’ve met quite a few ladies that feel the same |

When you say ‘most of the quality guys you know...’
How many do you know vs the amount on Fab?
Also what are you using to equate quality ? |

I must confess I know only a small amount of single guys maybe a half dozen but I would term them as quality due to the following.The people they play with and the connections they have.The manner in which they conduct themeselves be it at a social club or party and the way they behave when introduced to a friend or play partner.Most of them get the scene rather than just wishing to get laid and none to my knowledge would be seen dead complaining in the forums that they can’t get a meet.
I hope this helps |

"Has anyone ever actually received literally "a thanks but no thanks"? First time I've ever got one - I've had more positive ones, like have fun etc, or more usually just deletions - which I much prefer, but grrr to use that cliched phrase...
We have single guys blocked, I look out for guys when we're in the mood, but I seem to have missed you

When I receive messages from couples who have single guys blocked unless I’ve met them I just block them myself as do most of the quality guys I know “single guys we ll find you when we’re looking”. Yes sure
They are using the site tools and blocking men from mailing them so they don't get inundated with messages. They found a man they liked the look of - you - so you block them?! Why would you do that?
I just don’t feel I’ll connect very well with someone who presumes I’m at their beck and call after they’ve completed their selection process.Its not just me I’ve met quite a few ladies that feel the same"
Is that the same for men that go looking for women and couples?
Do men assume the women and couples will be at their beck and call after they've completed their selection process? |

No. Well I don't and assume most guys think similar. |

Some may but I’ve never assumed anything on here.To me there is a difference between couples who lift their filters occasionally to cater purely for themeselves and those who enjoy and understand properly the hotwife scenario which may lead to something on a longer term basis.Its my preference to block the “single men we will find you brigade” as it is also for few guys and indeed ladies I know |

"Jeez,if you don't reply your called rude,now it's not acceptable to say thanks but no thanks?
Unbelievable "
I never said that was rude? No reply isn’t rude at all. It’s completely neutral, not offensive and not patronising. |

I suppose its a definite rejection maybe that's what the op cannot handle "
Nope I “handle rejection” on a constant basis on this and in other areas. Like I said, I just think the “thanks but no thanks” is a cliched and patronising phrase. |

I would love to get a "thanks but no thanks" reply instead of being ignored and getting deleted.
If someone has kindly composed a message then it's polite to reply back i feel anyway |

I'm with you on the delete and block, it's easy and saves the nasty messages!
Recently when I rejoined, I again tried doing the whole "sorry not interested, enjoy the site" type message and 1 of the first replies I got was "you must be a man or a dog rough bitch"

"If someone has taken the time to compose a message I might say thank you for the message but not what I'm looking for sorry. "
This is what we do. Thought it was only polite to do so. But now I’m thinking ‘why bother?’ Maybe should just delete then.... |

I appreciate any polite reply even if it's thanks but no thanks..
Especially as lots of women deem to get 100s of new messages daily which must be hard to manage
I occasionally get messages from men so politely say im straight but thanks for msg... |

People (men it seems) are very rude hiding behind a computer screen
They should picture themselves at a party and asking a lady for a dance and she says no thankyou .... would the reply be rude ? |

It's also short, sweet and would probably put the recipient off messaging again!! |

No it wouldn’t. “Thanks but no thanks” would be IMO. |

I agree with you. I too think it’s patronising. I will either give a personalised rejection or none at all. But I will not say ‘thanks but no thanks’. I’m shocked that so many guys would prefer that to being ignored. Not that I’m defending the rude guys, but I guess it does jarr with them perhaps in a way that a less personal ignore doesn’t. I do wonder what happen if men had to deal with inboxes full of ‘thanks but no thank’ messages. Would the complaint be flipped around and men say ‘why are women so blunt with their rejections? Can’t they just quietly delete instead of rub the rejection in our face?’

Yes had a few and appreciate the time they took to at least say so . The ones i find extremely annoying are the ones who are verified many times yes, so you go ok they have asked for face pics you send and they dont even bother saying sorry guys not for us , its just rude.We have always said attraction matters and if its not there fine we say so and would appreciate it if others did the same instead of total blank . |

My mistake I didn’t use reply and quote I was asked earlier in the thread “what equates to a quality single guy” and asked how many I knew |

Only use if people persist after a polite rejection, but would rather not resort to it |

I think there should be a "thanks but no thanks" button and the fact that it has been sent should somehow be recorded on the guy's profile so that he doesn't bother the F or MF again..

Stating that I use it all the time, isn't an indication of quantity of messages received; if I was to only 2 messages in a year and replied "thanks but no thanks" to both, that's all the time |

Surely that’s better than not replying at all? "
Totally agree |
