By (user no longer on site) OP     over a year ago

I've been searching for a "fuck buddy", for a while.

I am disappointed to see,when I reject someone,the gents don't take it on the chin and move on.

Amount of abuse I've been getting is unreal.

What has happened?? Are we not all adults??

Rejection is not nice But my god no need for verbal abuse.

Classic rejection retort...*pokes bottom lip out and say ‘I didn’t want you anyway’.

Block and move on. If people can’t take rejection on chin on a site like this then they may as well leave...

Better to say ‘no worries, have fun’ and move on...you can’t fit to everyone’s taste.

Plus they’ve got to remember, they have messaged you, so you haven’t asked for them to message, so it’s unsolicited....do mailing companies get pissed off when all 1000 people they sent a mail to don’t reply

What do you say when you reject them?

The thread title suggests you are rude to them.

"What do you say when you reject them?

The thread title says that the pool of decent men is small. Her OP states she rejects them.

Why do you automatically assume she's being rude in her rejecting?

I'm not assuming. I said it suggests. It is a question.

Even though I’ve been on the scene for quite some time, occasionally a knock back can dent my confidence a little. I move on, as much as I might mutter to myself for the five minutes after a rejection.

Some are not as self aware and have fragile egos. That’s when they resort to abuse to make them feel better.

Best thing to do is say no thank you and block, before they can send a reply.

From the couple of years I have been on this scene,I can honestly say I've never been rude when rejecting.

Always polite.

I must say though, that I give them a chance to reply and I don't get the abuse that so many other women get. I've been trying to work out why, for years now. All I've come up with is they message me out of desperation and they aren't really bothered when I say no.

Then I'd say the abuse directly correlates with their disappointment. I don't get abuse when I reject- no doubt they see it as a lucky escape.

They will be gutted you said no thanks. It seems weird but take it as a compliment.

This is why I so often don't reply. I don't want to deal with the abuse. A lot of guys here (by no means all) think all they have to do is bring themselves to my attention and I'll come running to service their needs. Last I checked I'm a person capable of consenting (or not) just like anyone else, and (just like anyone else) I need more of a reason than "this person is nearby/ horny/ in possession of a penis"? Heavens above, I'm so demanding.

I’ve just read through your profile. It’s positive about what you want and if a genuine (that word again) guy actually reads it, then he should understand.

Bad rejection reactions just show you had a lucky escape or showed good judgement before it got to the meet stage

I either say no thank you or not what I'm looking for sorry.

Occasionally, if they look interesting I'll point out that they don't accommodate, because some do, but don't advertise it.

If anyone is getting them frequently I think it would be wise to take preventative action and either reply turning people down and block immediately or don't reply at all and block.

I’ve never had abuse after saying no thanks, but I do sometimes get multiple responses back saying “why?

If you’ve said you’re not interested, then further messages will only cement that

It baffles me why other men do that.

Take me for instance, the few emails I do send tend to be ignored, so when I get a reply, even a rejection, I am grateful that the person/couple have actually bothered.

So I tend to reply to the rejects by saying "sorry I am not your type, but thanks for replying and good luck in finding what you are looking for.

To date I have never had a nasty rude rejection yet, but we shall cross that bridge when we come to it I suppose!

1. Delete block move on.

2. Reply delete block move on

3. Reply and see what happens move on

4. Block all in coming messages from genders and proactively search yourself

5. Continue as you were

I am going to suggest that the pool of quality is actually quite large ( but maybe not in Ireland where swinging has not really taken off) . The actual problem might be that as a generalisation single women only respond to messages they get rather than seeking out profiles of men that might be eminently suitable. Their "pool" is therefore weighted by the poor quality messaging of those who fancy their chances despite not really meeting a woman's requirements. I go to clubs with my female partner and there she can choose someone suitable for her if a single male or in the case of ourselves a couple after seeing or talking.I am not saying we message single guys from searching profiles but that it might be a solution for those who feel they are fishing in a small pool.

"I've been searching for a "fuck buddy", for a while.

I am disappointed to see,when I reject someone,the gents don't take it on the chin and move on.

Amount of abuse I've been getting is unreal.

What has happened?? Are we not all adults??

Rejection is not nice But my god no need for verbal abuse.

Red

but when you title a thread that mentions "quality" you are absolutely going to get peoples backs up....

you may be rarer.... sure,

quality in itself is subjective!!!

you may be in a better position to pick, but being the picker doesn't make you any better than the people you pick......

sometimes it is better to show humility and just let is slide like water off a ducks back...

but the title does you absolutely no favours in regards to the context of your post.....

I don't believe quality is subjective.

Manners and respect shouldn't be an option but a necessity even on a swingers site.

As for the title yeah Because you can't have quality on this site.

"

You need to remember that your opinion based on limited interaction and a brief profile description is subjective by definition.

There are tomes of research on how first impressions are invariably wrong and this backs up my personal experience in my professional and day to day life.

"not interested" does have a harsh tone to it.

Try to adjust your responses and see if it's works better. You are here lamenting a lack of manners after all and I presume you want constructive feedback and not a soapbox.

Abuse is never acceptable but certainly says more about them than you OP. Rise above it OP. Just shows that you were right to reject them. You obviously hurt their fragile egos.

no one is victim shaming. Its called common sense. Nobody should be abused but there is a simple way to stop it. Why do you think the women that go on about dont get abuse? Because they use the site tools thats why.

Victim shaming

Fragile Ego

What site tools could I use to stop the unsolicited abuse that I used to get as a single fem on here? Strange I dont get it as a couple. ...and people wonder why single fems leave.

I agree.

I’ve had all sorts from threats, racism, abuse about what I look like, to “Never wanted to fuck you anyway”.

It’s quite pathetic that there are fully grown men out there who feel the need to send abuse to a woman because she politely says she’s not interested.

I just don’t reply to those I’m not interested in now, but even that isn’t foolproof as some will abuse you for being “rude” or “no manners”.

Rejection is terribly painful for some it seems!

I think there’s an element of feeding the ego in this thread, having a dig at men with the title ( that isn’t relevant to the actual thread)and creating an issue where there isn’t one, if you simply block someone you are not interested in, end of story, don’t reply, it’s simple.

Yeah, a lot of men act like petulant kids, when they’ve been rejected and there’s no excuse for abuse of any kind, but that’s what the block button is for.

I guess the answer is to stoically accept that it is the overreaction of an underdeveloped personality and rise above it.

Otherwise it's two sides of the same coin...their offense at rejection and yours at childish counterabuse.

Try "Thank you for your message. You seem great but not what I'm looking for, sorry. Hope you find someone nice. xx"

Copy and paste so you're not wasting time typing it all out.

I use variations on that. Some reply to ask "why" but I don't reply again because I already said no thank you.

I’m amazed that people are actually blaming you for receiving abuse.

I’m polite in my responses and to those I’ve not been interested I’ve said “Thank you for your message but you aren’t what I’m looking for sorry. Good luck in your search! X”

Yet a message like that got me abuse.

Maybe people should stop focusing on the way people reply to someone they’re not interested in and more on the fact there are headcases on here who will send the nastiest abuse because they’ve been politely rejected.

The problem lies with the person being rejected not the person rejecting.

Of course we can block newbies, but not all newbies are like the ones making fake profiles to send us abuse.

It’s madness that anyone would blame you or look for fault in your messages as to why someone would send abuse.

Unless you’ve told them to fuck off, there is absolutely no reason for anyone to send abuse if they’ve been rejected.

If some are so fragile that they can’t take a “Not interested but thanks for your message” reply or similar, maybe it’s best they don’t do the messaging!

some good advice here. It’s not you, it’s the other party. ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT!

Some people really can’t take no for an answer and refuse to see anything but you as wrong. I just delete messages. Making Multiple profiles to get round blocks does happen and I suggest you screen shot, date and save any nasty messages or stalking behaviour, as well as reporting it to admin. Some people are sad, lonely, d-heads and won’t change, don’t try to reason with them or engage with such behaviour.

There are many other lovely people on here so move into them. I’m sure you’ll have no problems meeting sane, respectable Fabbers.

It would be a shame to block all males because of a minority. The search facilities aren’t great on here so having men, who I probably haven’t come across, unable to contact me wouldn’t be ideal. I’d have missed out on some great people.

Abuse is never acceptable but certainly says more about them than you OP. Rise above it OP. Just shows that you were right to reject them. You obviously hurt their fragile egos.no one is victim shaming. Its called common sense. Nobody should be abused but there is a simple way to stop it. Why do you think the women that go on about dont get abuse? Because they use the site tools thats why.

What site tools could I use to stop the unsolicited abuse that I used to get as a single fem on here? Strange I dont get it as a couple. ...and people wonder why single fems leave.

I recently got rejected when I invited a lady to join me at a party, she replied that I'm not for her. My respose was to thank her for replying and that I hope she found what she was looking for. I then left it and thought nothing more about it.

A few hours later I got a message of her stating that if I hadn't found anyone to go with then she would like to go with me after all. We attended the party on Saturday and had a brilliant night.

It really does pay to be polite xx

It's unfortunate but that's fab and if we take it personally then it can really upset us. You like all of us have the right to not be abused by others.

It's them that have the problem you are not the problem.

This is the only way to look at it, as is said before block and move on.

I actually prefer a "No thank you" message to the standard no response what so ever. At least I know where I stand then. I would certainly then not send abuse.

Due to the sheer statistics of this site, it's hard for us normal respectable polite blokes. But we have to remember it is a game and not to take rejection personally.

There are a lot who do copy and paste jobs, I wouldn’t say most though.

What’s funny is when they do the copy and paste job three or four times in a few days not realising Site Supporters can see previous messages...

Yes, that's why they said. "most".

Our experience is that around eighty to ninety per cent of messages we get from single men are either cut and paste or of the. "wanna fuck?" type.

How exactly? How is saying “its nice you do that” not a compliment? How is pointing out “most straight up ignore you” a dig? Its a clear and factual statement, in regards to my own experience. I didn’t comment on how it made me feel, I didn’t make any offers of complaint or misunderstanding to why they donit, I merely stated a fact. I seriously am struggling to grasp why you’ve seemingly taken to your high horse and become offended by this.

"Definitely, of deleted it us clear and I'm not complaining about not getting a reply.

It is just refreshing and polite to get a nice "no thanks and good luck".

Women wish men to be polite and take the effort to write more than a few words. A reply of a couple of words is therefore surely not too much to ask for those men who have made the effort xx

"

I do reply to users who have read my profile before messaging. The other 99% I delete. I don’t want to type: club meets only, face photo please etc... I think if they haven’t took the time to read it then I haven’t the time to response.

However.... when I do response and say no thanks most times it results in a block anyway. .

*USERS. not necessarily SM!

"It baffles me why other men do that.

Take me for instance, the few emails I do send tend to be ignored, so when I get a reply, even a rejection, I am grateful that the person/couple have actually bothered.

So I tend to reply to the rejects by saying "sorry I am not your type, but thanks for replying and good luck in finding what you are looking for.

To date I have never had a nasty rude rejection yet, but we shall cross that bridge when we come to it I suppose!

Most men who I have said no to,are nice and reply saying thanks for replying even if it's a no.

Manners don't cost anything."

Exactly,,,,, its the only way to be

"Just say, not for us thanks happy fabbing that's all we put.

Its nice you actually do that, a lot of women/couples i’ve tried to interact with just straight up ignore you.

We can't win. If we reply, we get abuse (from some, not all). If we don't respond (as per the FAB faq) we are rude.

I never said it was rude, I just pointed out a polite no is nice...

How am I meant to know if you are someone who is going to send me abuse? But not replying, that means I won't get any.

What has any of that got to do with me saying the other couple above are nice for doing it? My comment was not to you, yet you seemed to have taken offence to it and i’m not quite sure why? sorry if I offended you complimenting someone else

I'm fed up of people complaining about no responses.

Would you kindly point out where I complained? The nature of my comment was complimenting those that do reply, not complaining about those who don’t, and in all fairness had nothing to do with you.

I can reply to any post I want to on this thread - it's a public forum after all.

Your message did not come across as a compliment to one person, but a dig at all those who don't reply to messages.

How exactly? How is saying “its nice you do that” not a compliment? How is pointing out “most straight up ignore you” a dig? Its a clear and factual statement, in regards to my own experience. I didn’t comment on how it made me feel, I didn’t make any offers of complaint or misunderstanding to why they donit, I merely stated a fact. I seriously am struggling to grasp why you’ve seemingly taken to your high horse and become offended by this."

It was a dig. Unconscious or not, it's a dig.

I'm not going to explain again why.
