Missed out, it's a shame etc
Jump to: Newest in thread
I get this a lot.
Thing is, I know what I like, what I find attractive, what I want.
So if I decided that, that person doesn't match up to that, then I'm really not missing out on anything.
You can only 'miss out' if it's something you want and can't have |

I had this response after a social when I declined the offer to come back to hers. She was really taken back by my assertion that I didn’t feel a connection with her, and called me a time waster, and that this “wasn’t a dating site” and that she gave the “best blow job on fab” . This, I hasten to add, after she had been stood up, saw that I was online and nearby, and invited me for a drink. |

"Why have I "missed out" or been told "its a shame", "don't know what I'm missing" etc from people who don't match my preferences? None of the above really applies, or does it? "

I get the instinct to say it. Rejection sucks! But we need to be adults and tend to our feelings without lashing out at people. |

Well at least you get a response I guess.. I don't even get replies to my messages lost of the time after taking time to ensure I match preferences and have read their entire profiles.. some have rather extensive wish lists eg;
Must be 5'11" and a half tall
Must have previous veris
Must have fewer than 2 previous veris
Must have 30 face pics (even though they don't)
It really is tough for guys on here.. |

Its a way for the insecure person to feel better about themselves, rejection can melt snowflakes. |

It's not really rejection, not to want to have sex with someone. I don't have sex with almost everyone.
People make positive choices.
Only pushy people force a negative choice. |

Assume no and you might get a pleasant surprise. |

But they could make it easier on themselves by reading profiles first? |

"I think a small but significant number of people join Fab in the mistaken assumption that it guarantees sex on demand.
They then get rather pissed off when it doesn't happen that way.

Very much. Or they think a refusal says something about them. It doesn't, necessarily. |

I have no illusions but some people think they are god's gift! Get over yourselves,if you were as good as you think why did you join a swingers site? Surely you get sex on demand! Oh and the whiny statuses from single men do my head in. You do realise it makes you even more off putting! |

This is the problem on here I spoke to you a long while ago you were polite as was I you told me politely that I didn’t fit the bill and I accepted that and haven’t bothered you since unless to comment on something you’re a very nice person I just feel that the pushy ones seem to get further than the nice ones don’t know what you think |

Thanks, and actually the pushy ones are worse off as I don't end up chatting to them at all. Think we spoke about a year ago, feel free to stop by for a chat anytime.  |

There are plenty of the “your loss” brigade on here and is seen in both the attitude and profile of lots of people here, that’s the pre-repost and just shows peoples insecurities, avoid |

As someone who joined here just over a week ago I agree with the previous comment. It is confusing when you send a message, and 5 days later still unread, a deleted message easy to understand |

This might help explain it - I have a profile with 1 pic, nothing interesting either. I log on twice a day or so. I currently have 329 unread messages from the last week or so. Some women get several hundred messages a day! They’d need a PA to read them all.
Then you also have to add in the fact that sometimes women mark messages as unread rather than saying “No thanks” or deleting because those two options can lead to a barrage of messages demanding to know why or downright giving abuse. |

And we wonder why some women
Get cocky (no pun intended) when they aren’t the best looking. Obvious the hundreds of messages don’t help. |

We generally try to reply to most messages even if it’s a polite no thanks however some crude or abusive or one word or generic messages are not worth our time and effort.
Normally an instant delete from us means not interested. An unread message normally means it’s under consideration or one to refer back to and revisit when we have more time. Everyone runs their own profiles in their own little way. |

To be honest the majority of them contain “Wnt 2 fck”, “Phone sex now?”, “pics...” or just a phone number (mostly all accompanied by dick pics). So it’s often more wading through drivel than anything ego building. |

Agreed, however filters are available to use so you don't get so many messages. Generally speaking I haven't used them much myself, however, as you say, due to the volume of messages currently being received, I've decided to use them now. Unfortunately this also means less help for newbies is available if they fall outside my preferences, they can still talk to me in the cam rooms and the advice on my profile still stands though. |

How long are your messages? I have to admit that I don't need to open the majority of mine to read them. If a message is less than a dozen words ('hi there, how's you sexy?' for example), once it's on my inbox I can read it, and I just scroll down the page hitting delete on all the generic messages, or ones from people with cock pic avatars, etc., as I go. |

So many times it’s us ladies that have to turn men down and it’s refreshing to see that it does in fact go against the gran that men won’t just do anything and are just as picky
Good for you  |

How come when men say it they are demonised, yet when a man doesn’t meet a women and a thread is posted about it, the term “his loss” is banded about by other women(and sometimes men) as some sort of comfort?
It appears to me that the” their loss” statement is gender neutral. |

That's fab for you! And you have to remember that the forums are also only a tiny part of the site that a vast majority never use. |
