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

Hi all, I've been a member here for a while but never have actually met any women or couples in person. Just wondering if anyone has any tips on my profile or how to arrange something in reality. Thanks in advance always enjoying browsing!

Pictures are ok. Text needs a lot of work. You are competing with thousands of men on here. Sell yourself.

Yep I like you're pictures. They have caught my eye... Shame you're not local to me

Your text doesn't sell you! You need to stand out from the crowd. Show us a bit of personality. Maybe a bit of humour.

Would you really meet a 99 year old?

I think your age does count against you on here and you defo need to say more on your profile, but i am sure you will get there.

"I think your age does count against you on here and you defo need to say more on your profile, but i am sure you will get there. "

Generally disagree with the profile bio part..you can out detail in your message...

In my opinion pictures and convenience are the two major factors on here.

I think the opinion of the OPs target audience are more relevant.

Yeah I disagree with this. So much so that I didn't message you after browsing as I was expecting something amazing.

That's fine, you're welcome to your view. I'm just talking from my own personal experience.

However what is more important to you, if someone has a great bio but they're really not your type and far away, would you meet them... highly unlikely

Hello OP. It doesn't take too much effort to make the right first impression, and in direct contrast showing no effort will never make the right first impression. You've been here eight months and your profile still shows the automated text that the computer generates for you. Don't you think that maybe you should put in just a little effort?

I'm more likely to interact with people who have a good biog, interesting pictures AND a decent first message, almost regardless of where they are.

The holy trinity.

As long as he writes a polite opening message why should that matter ??

Most women have pretty generic bio's, it's really not the key factor. Same goes for other "dating apps" these days. Take Tinder for example, it's all visual based

He's looking for women. I, as a woman, am telling him and you that the profile text matters. To me (not all women), good profile text matters more than pictures.

I'm talking to you right now. I've sent dozens of messages today.

Just because people aren't talking to you, doesn't mean they aren't talking.

You have to send a message and have a presence that's enticing.

As a rule I look at the profile when I get a message to see what the sender looks like, offers and is looking for.

Do you think the people you send messages to might do the same?

Subscription gives you additional features on the site, not more attention.

You have to sell yourself.

"

Maybe, just maybe, bland profile or not, they met in a club, not via a message on site.

Maybe between that meet and you reading their profile they completely re-write their biog...."

Maybe even where exceptions are made on Fab (not something I've done), the easier route is still to write a decent profile, because exceptions are by definition exceptional.

I didn't ask for advice, I offered my opinion to the OP and everyone decided to tell me how wrong I was.

So as someone who enjoys a healthy debate/ argument from time to time, I got involved.

I don't see how you possibly have more insight into how women choose to meet than a woman who meets.

Jeez this post went haywire.

I am half of a couple, I answer if

1.i can ascertain anything from the written part of a profile

2. Their message engages me

Picking people apart when they’re offering advice is just awful.

All profiles are ways to sell yourself and entice the people you're looking for. You can run them as you see fit, but the advice given here is the advice given a lot when these questions are asked. What about your profile might make someone more interested in you?

(and yes, I do work on my own profile for that very reason)

To the OP, your profile doesn't say anything, maybe try writing what you are looking for and it might help get you noticed

Because if I was browsing profiles I would skip straight on by the one the OP has at present. I would think that if he cant be bothered to put in any effort then why should I.

Your age can go against you.

Ignore the nasty comments take proactive comments .

Change profile every few weeks till you find what works . Add extra photo again every few weeks keeps you noticed.

Meet aim the socials or confidence to visit a club..

Tbh at 22 i was out with my mates most nights having a laff and a few beers.

Good luck

So, "slide into my private messages?"

Sounds odd.

You need to accept that there are about 100 women to every man here and they get bombarded with messages. So you need to a) ead bios and respond accordingly,

respecting that some people won't be interested, b) message people or chat in the forums as only by being proactive will you attract the ladies and c) make a bit of an effort with your own bio to make them interested in you. Most people will not be interested but hopefully some will be and you have to take it from there. Good luck!

.

There are two kinds of men on here , the ones that moan and complain that they just get ignored and no one ever meets on here anyway. Then there is the kind that listens to advice from their target audience, they put in effort, attend socials and clubs, use the forums and chatrooms to make connections and get themselves known for all the right reasons. Be the second type.
