Quoted from the Site FAQs:
There are too many rude people on here who don't reply to my messages!
It's not rude not to reply.
Some ladies and couples get hundreds of messages a day so it simply isn't possible for them to reply to everyone. If you don't get a response, you should assume they aren't interested. If you're getting a lot of "no-replies" then you should consider your profile and the messages you send. Are they giving the right message? Are you standing out from the thousands of other guys on here?

"No effort no reply, copy and paste delete pushy rude delete. I’m sure most people who don’t get a reply haven’t tried. "
That's not the case, if you don't get a reply then it means you're not what the recipient is looking for. You can be sending the best messages but if you're not what they're looking for, then it will still be a no.
It's about matching as much as anything else, then looking at the approach |

Well it’s the case with us and I’m sure many others even if it’s no joy. |

"None replied polite messages
Rude and just run of the mill ???"
Run of the mill. Just have to keep on plugging away and not worry about it. Better no reply than being stud up on a date by a time waster. |

"Men are not always polite when trying to get sex but even if they are it doesn't mean anything, nobodyof any gender has to reply to anyone if they don't want to."
Oh quite. But for me it's a bare minimum like wiping your arse after you go to the toilet. Or the line I see on here way too often "I know what soap is". Congratulations, you might be a functional adult. That doesn't mean I'm going to fuck you. |

We get several messages every day, many of them literally just, "hi."
We usually reply - though not with a response the guy was expecting or hoping for - but when we don't, it's because we consider it better than sending a stock reply. |

Perhaps you should compare a random, unsolicited message to a phone call about PPI, when you know that's why they're calling so you don't answer the phone. |

We get dozens from exactly the type of people we are not looking for. The very first line of our profile is pretty explanatory so if the messenger can't be bothered to read just one line then we generally wouldn't be bothered to send a reply. We did try at first but it becomes never ending and often with the same messenger over and over with the same half a line message. |

On the very rare occasion I answer the polite but effort free messages I get, I end up beating my head against the wall. No I'm not going to meet now, no, you can't have my number (I don't want no scrubs), no, I'm not giving you my Kik (etc). I'm sorry you just want a shag, I just want a conversation first. |

The messages we sometimes get are rediculous. We only reply if we’re interested. A lot of no thanks replies have got us abuse.
It may appear big headed/rude but to be honest we don’t have to reply so if we don’t want to we won’t.
We don’t mean to offend, but flip the coin. |

Yeah. I'd rather be nice, but often it bites me, so I just suit myself.
One of the first people I met here told me that it's in everyone's interests to keep the ladies (including in couples) happy. I thought he was buttering me up, but he's right. If I had to answer all the inane messages I got, I'd strongly consider leaving Fab. I suspect many would. If my (in my case reasonable) word wasn't law about how I want to play in clubs, I wouldn't return (my word amounts to, respect me, basically). I know I'm not all that, but there are less women than men, and we're more highly sought after. Swinging just doesn't work for most people without both men and women.
So, I do what I like. It's better for those who do make the effort. |

I agree with the above post. We have bothered to post an honest description of what we are looking for and our preferences. We mostly reply to polite messages even if they are not what we seek. But simple one liners such as ‘how’s you?’ And fancy ‘ meeting tonight ‘ are largely ignored. |

If the sender hasn’t bothered to read our profile (or has read it and decided to ignore it) then I don’t see the point in replying to be honest. "
Yes we do that. We try and answer most messages, it's not difficult for us we don't get many, however if it's impolite not to reply its surely equally impolite to send one word messages or messages just addressed to me the female half. |

Sending a message that ignores what people say in their profile is itself rude.
For example, we say ‘full swap meets’ in the headline of our profile. Lower down we say ‘no social meets, no soft swap meets.’ Yet we receive invites for these several times a week.
When people haven't even read the headline of your profile, no reply at all is probably politer than explaining how they have been stupid. |

No, just offends people who don't find out how things work before bombarding with messages.
And polite doesn't make you, sexually attractive. |

Exactly this! Its obvious when someone hasn't even bothered to read your profile, and when you're getting 50-100 a day you can see why those messages are ignored. Plus, once we reply it's then a relentless message after message and sometimes abuse, when all you were saying was 'No thanks' |

Or when they only read the headline and twist it horribly.
My old one was "the brain is the greatest erogenous zone", and I changed it because I got way too many messages from guys saying that their "brain" was rock hard because of me.  |

we used to always reply to messages even if to say no thanks but unfortunately many on here don't bother to read our profile so we get meaningless messages from people who obviously don't fit what were looking for. if we get one of these now we just delete it |
