My bio has always been pretty inoffensive, but I'm feeling the need to get stroppier!
Don't call me babe, don't send me dick pics etc...
So how stroppy are you? And does it matter? |

About as stroppy as someone who is losing in Monopoly.
I've been on fab for far too long and know it makes little difference if I say please don't call me x, y and z. Also, I'm not really a stroppy sort of person and I don't want my profile to suggest I am. |

Not stroppy at all. But we don’t put up with the same amount of crap that you put up with.
And no it doesn’t matter. It’s your profile, you control the impression you want to give. I’m sorry you feel the need to be stroppy though xx |

Ours has varied loads, seems the stroppier it has been the more fools it attracts though so keep it light hearted, have fun and block the annoying individuals. Xx |

I don’t think mine is as I don’t want to come across as too demanding or moaning about everything. I prefer to actually filter by what I see...if you give people too much guidance they’re just going to spew what you want to hear. If you let them be themselves you can quickly work our if you’re compatible or not!  |

Mines stroppy and it sounds like the same reasons. The many dickhead men on here that spoil it for the few genuinely nice ones. Not that it gets read though....
Good luck OP.

I recently had to add one stroppy sentence. I’m not happy about it as I don’t like to come across arrogant but had enough with same silly offers coming into my way during lockdown.
Will remove it when people back to normal again  |

Ours isn't really stroppy at all. Though tbf, most stroppiness doesn't get many results of note, in fact the opposite.
As those the stroppiness is aimed at rarely pay attention anyway and those who it isn't aimed at get put off, thinking stroppy is the profile owner's natural persona.

Being serious for once personally I think that those who do the things you'll list not to do probably won't read it anyway and sounding scary might put off the ones who actually read profiles who tend to actually be more decent. |

I love stroppy bios. It lets me know about the person and what they do and don’t like. Sets clear boundaries from the off and let’s me know if I’m for them or not. |

I agree, I understand why people put up the donts and do no nots, but I tend to find there portray the person as negative and hard work, I'm sure we are all nice people underneath and dare I say it, normal, haha, I just ignore one line, no profile pic messages and winks, read the profile and veris Ofcourse perv the pics to, send a nice message and see if I get blocked hsha x |

I do get frustrated with the amount of unwanted messages, how ever much I protest on my profile. I kinda changed it now as it was too long list of my dislikes. But they are my dislikes. I tried many men to know what i like |

Stroppy profiles just attract angry people who will take the piss and try to get a rise out of you. |

I think your profile should be aimed at the people you want to attract rather than the people you want to don't, who probably won't even read your profile anyway.
Personally I like a friendly profile with a touch of humour  |

Not stroppy at all, doesn't sit right with me. We can quickly tell those aren't right for us anyway so it makes little difference. I try to be more positive than negative

I read one this morning from a bloke who said....
I will not let you suck my dick it's boring and you can't go on top until you've cum at least once.
That felt both stoppy and unimaginative. |

"Life’s too short to be stroppy, if you don’t want people to message you just sort your settings out."
I'm not a stroppy person at all (usually)
I want to receive messages from men, but ones who have taken time to read my profile.
Why should I have to sort out my settings because they can't? |

I think it's ok to lay down some ground rules in your profile, it's not being stroppy. It's your profile and you can say what you wish on it. The person reading it may see it as your preferences and respect them or think "what a stroppy moo" but that's up to them. I state I dont cam but obvs people dont read it cus I still get asked. I'm gonna change it to block capitals with loads of exclamation marks!!!! |

Informative is fair enough, but for me it’s more about having a conversation than getting people to jump through hoops. I think that’s why there’s a lot of disappointment on here when mr or miss ‘perfect’ who messaged you in line with everything on your profile turns out to be a dick 2 weeks down the line! |

I agree conversation first, I know that takes a bit of time but with out a conversation how do you find out if your sexually or personally compatible, that's why I enjoy clubs can see the real person and have a chat if you click then great if not polite nice chatting and move on x |

This is the approach we take. Happy to have a chat to people, light and breezy and polite. We ask people to be patient. We make it clear that we don’t take ourselves seriously, and we ask people not to be rude. And for the most part, everyone who messages us are respectful. There is the idea that you get back from the world what you put into it. We are happy and easy-going, and for the most part, so are the people who get in touch with us. But of course, we’re not a single lady. We know it’s very different for you xx |

Mine's not in the slightest bit stroppy, but then it has no need to be.
I do however understand the need for a level of stroppiness for some, especially women's, profiles - which is a sad indication of how *some* people (and sadly it *is* mostly men) behave - those that can't take no for an answer, or who send abuse, or get stalkerish etc
In other words, it shouldn't be needed, but is an understandable reaction to how *some* choose to behave.
I wouldn't necessarily be put off by a well worded "stroppy" profile because I totally "get" why it happens - the real tell is in the interaction with someone and how that goes. |

Everyone should just put hi, fill in later. It shows your commitment to fab and you will definitely fuck if you show up when on the who's near. I didn't go for this approach though I just put my life highlights on mine and before the lock down I was fucking morning noon and night |

I don't think mine's stroppy, but it hints at what I'm looking for in a no nonsense manner. I don't like to say exactly what I want as that will be very different with different people - I'd rather just chat and see if we're compatible. And I just extend the same courtesy to people that have ignored my profile and ignore their messages (that's about 99% of my messages  )
I don't like to see ranty profiles with lots of shouty capitals and a list of demands, they make me think that the person is going to be incredibly hard work - I'm here to have fun, not deal with needy, demanding people (I have enough of that at work, but I'm paid to bite my tongue there ) |

Well said! Same here, but mind you I'm allowed to move annoying clients on to my colleagues so can be rude at work rather than in my personal life haha x |

I would say mine isn't stroppy, more it tells people from the start what my expectations are. If they find that stroppy, or offensive, then they're not people I would like to meet.
There is nothing wrong in being honest about your likes and dislikes. If you are, it means hopefully the people that do contact you know what to expect, and those who ignore would then automatically be blocked and deleted. I've had to do this a quite a few times when I receive dick pics |

On my previous profile I tried to make stroppy sound funny with the FAQs.
Now I just put filters on and change my bio every few days. Some days it’s song lyrics, some days it’s a joke. Some days I like to say message me for nudes whilst having my filters on. Mwahaha |

Exactly. I want messages from men. I tried looking myself but no luck. My personal preference is the man to "chase".. The right man be on the same vibe as me and read my profile. |

My profile keeps getting longer. I add to it regularly, I sometimes wonder why I bother though as 99% of the time it doesn't get read, they just look at my pics and message me one liner "hey babe!" Messages. |

It's not at all but I can say that I've often thought about changing it to a bullet point type profile to make it easier for the guys. Don't do this, don't do that etc....but I really don't want to come across as a stropster so I don't! |

This does seem to be a pretty common theme. It's probably why I skip past so many profiles.
But then if all manner of plonkers are popping up in your inbox every day I suppose it must get jarring. |

I get why profiles are stroppy but mine isn’t stroppy at all. I think if a guy had a stroppy profile he would criticised for it.
I did a little experiment in the forums once and the results were as clear as day!! |

It’s really sad that a lot of ladies and couples have to write stroppy profiles not to get swamped by tossers. I personally never get in touch with anybody whose profile comes across as stroppy as it’s difficult to tell if the person is genuinely a pain in the arse or somebody who is trying to minimise the number of silly messages. I must say I fully understand why some people do the latter. I just don’t bother and I must say there are a lot of profiles that fall into this category. |

I'd agree with you there mate, contrary to belief some of us do read profiles, saves a lot of time messaging people who are not looking for the same thing, however it seems the same happens on vanilla dating sites to, |
