I’ve been lucky a few times.

I used to take offence by instant deletes but now I get how it works.

I think you’ve just got to appreciate it when you get a reply and take it from there.

Generally people approach me. Of those about 1% want to meet me and/or I want to meet.

I think what I look for is quite specific and I am not one for hoop jumping or game playing. I’d rather meet one person a year, through fab, that genuinely excited me than one a week to scratch an itch.

There was a time when it was one a week though..... a loooong time ago and that lasted a year or so, it was right for my age and appetites at the time. Now, I guess what nourishes me has changed and by default the way I view fab has changed too.

As to how “lucky” I am (have been), amazingly so, I have met some genuinely beautiful (inside and out) people.

I would say the question ought to be “how many men send messages?” Then multiply that answer by at least a factor of 10 and that is what ladies are receiving each day. Gentleman, could you even be bothered to look at more than 10 messages a day if you were receiving over 100 random ones? I only get a few from men asking me if I’m curious and already, I’ve stopped checking my messages.

There and to the left a bit

Thing is it's not about "luck" as such - it's about finding the right approach that works for you (clue: sending blind messages to profiles you've not interacted with in any way is not the *only* one and is possibly the least likely to work).

It's about accepting you won't be for everyone, in fact if you think about it - when you're out and about realistically you are attracted to maybe 10% of the women you see and of those maybe 10% will be attracted to you - so 1 in 100 - it's no different here, and yet guys still try and appeal to all rather than appealing to the handful.

It's about getting your profile and pics right, having the right attitude and expectations.

The *only* way luck may come into it is messaging someone at just the right time that they see your message amongst the mass they may get - but that only applies if you stick to the "message blind" approach

I don’t go looking and don’t think who I attract is luck. It’s simply two people making a connection. For me it is based on a lot more than a profile or a random message. When I do message first I choose an opportune moment, but that is probably less of the time than someone messaging me. Also most of my friends who I have connected with, albeit not that many of them are sexual connections where there is that kind of mutual attraction, are from the forum. Or at least if there is, we haven’t talked about it.

It depends what you mean by an luck, best thing is not to expect too much, for example a meet after one message. Even if you expect a reply back from every message it's still too much to ask. Getting even a reply is a start, then if you get more than a setence in a few replies even better, very occasionally you will get a reasonable conversation that is worthwhile but again if you expect that to lead to a meet you will become frustrated. Just go with the flow, be polite and patient and hopefully you will get some interest. Let's face it you don't pay much to be on here compared to other sites so all you lose is some time when things are slow. Expect the worse and hope for the best.

You are effectively sending an unsolicited message to someone. Like a pizza flyer coming through your door. The only luck element is timing, whether they open the flyer and want what’s on the menu at that moment.

The only thing you can have more control off is to ensure you have everything nailed down in terms of your message, profile and pics. Have all three right and you increase your chances of a response.

When I was single on here, I never looked at sent messages to see if someone had read my message as it’s the path to insecurity. Send message and move on with life...I never expected a reply and just seen it as a bonus if they did.

Define “luck”. I read profiles, see what people are looking for and if I think that sounds like me I’ll send a message. By no means am I 100% successful but I do well enough. No matter who you are, in this scene, you’re gonna face rejection. You have to be 100% ok with this. You won’t be for everyone. Not everyone will be looking for someone like you. You’re effectively sending someone an unsolicited request and it’s their prerogative if they wish to answer. You’re owed nothing by anyone on this site. The sooner you realise this, the happier you’ll be

I have no intention of meeting ever so 100% satisfaction.

I purposefully message women whose profiles dictate I'm not what they're looking for.

Luck has nothing to do with it!

It is a mindset...

If you are positive, Social and network through the online chat and forums you build up a personality.

You make your profile attractive and interesting ( Not about how you look. Just present it positively).

You gain interest. You are selective in messaging. You make it interesting.

And you don't use your privilege to expect anything in return.

That's when you become successful. That's when you get return messages. And that's when people want to meet you (post pandemic etc. Etc.)

I rarely send a message on here and if I did it's because I found a great deal to interest me in her profile. I don't expect a reply or even to be read. If I am interested then plenty of others will be too and my message might be lost . Messaging was never the best way to meet suitable people. That was always the organised socials or at clubs. Neither of which are available so its more about chatting to existing swinger friends by other ways than fab messaging .

Some responses which have led to us becoming 'friends' but it's hard work. It's difficult to keep chat going when there are no meets to arrange and having to tread the fine line between being interested and a nuisance. What I have realised is that it's up to me to make the first move in messaging and be thick skinned in accepting that the majority will never be responded to however much effort I put it and instead celebrate the few contacts that I do make.

I've had some success on here messaging people I like, however I tend to get chatting to them in the forums first before DMing anyone.

The random messaging of anyone "hot" is a total waste of time, you need to put some effort to stand a chance of starting a conversation.

"After a year on here..... I’m killing it.... meets 0 verifications 0 but as my friend above stated. No expectations...

That'll be a year when no-one has been meeting due to Covid?"

True.. I would like to think that had some part to play but I understand I may not be everyone’s cuppa tea....

I’m secure enough in myself to know who I am what I want so I but I renew because I enjoy these forums lots of nice people. I also think that women on the main land seem to be more upfront I always get reserved measured interactions with women over here in Northern Ireland that ultimately burn out pretty quick...

It's hit and miss but you always need to remember you're probably sandwiched between lots of other messages and it's a bit like having to do admin for some on here due to the hundreds or even thousands of messages to go through

I don’t envy single men on here. As well as the usual difficulties, I can also be quite flippant and my desire to chat and tolerance of cheekiness changes depending on how I’m feeling, adding a further curveball.

Personally, I look at the meets page and read what what the OP is looking for. I then read their profile and if I think there are certain boxes to be ticked I write a considered reply offering a "pen portrait" of who I am, etc.

If they say "No" then that is their prerogative and I respectfully move on, usually saying thank you for replying and I hope you successfully find what you're looking for and have a good time.

No such thing a luck, just perception.I don't expect anything back when I message, sometimes I get one or two word sentances, sometimes ok conversation and even had a couple of thank you messages for writing a decent and respectful message without showing my dic.

If I get no reply then I'm fine with that.

Not all single men are bad or whatever you wish to put a word on it, some do take the time to read a profile, some dont, however cause of that one annoying guy the rest of the people shouldn't have to pay a price for it which is the case on here. But each to their own I guess

If you were on the recieving end of the abuse some get on here for saying no thank you, or you are not what we are looking for ect then you would understand why lots of women and cpls get that way. I was a single on here years ago and did quite well. But times have changed on here. More guys get abusive thes days as they think joining fab guarantees a fuck. We have chatted to a few tidy guys on here one who we will be meeting when safe to do so. But we will stick to other cpls due to the abusive nature of certain guys who think they have a god given right to fuck women on here just because they joined a swinging site.

I’ve met some incredible women over the last 6-7 years on fab so I would consider it very successful. Is it easy on here ? No absolutely not, but you have to put the effort in and realise last like any social media platform/profile it will take time to build your contacts .

Get alot of replys but they tend to be all talk and not genuine, mostly all they want is a few photos of what you've done with others or want you to tell them about fantasy's etc just so they can get off then they go silent and ignore you. 90% of the women in here are like that, very few genuine that actually want to get to know you or have a conversation

If I'm being brutally honest all my years being on here it's had its moments/ups and downs but I never really went around cold messaging random people tbh...

It's kind off I more either interacted with women/couples more face to face at swingers clubs or on chat rooms/forums but not so much anymore maybe here and there..

That being said for the most part I don't really message anyone and in return my inbox more or less remains empty with the once in a long while message but that's about it really...

Some things just aren't meant to be but who knows what the future holds really? it's more fun for me lurking in the background tbh

, but the once in a while thrill off someone I like feeling the same in return can be something else...

When the bars and clubs were open (and when I was young enough to go to them) my straight mates would always get annoyed at me because I’d always end the night dancing incredibly inappropriately with some gorgeous woman, laughing our heads off and exchanging numbers. My mates would even say to me: “Go and get those two ladies to come and join us”. Fifteen minutes later, having fulfilled my duty, my mates would be trying all their best lines on the women and spectacularly failing and fucking up all of the groundwork I had so perfectly set.

Why was it that I was so good at this and my straight mates were so terrible? Simple. I wasn’t a threat. I wasn’t trying out corny lines, or asking them weird questions. I wasn’t showing any signs of sexual advances. There was never a sense of desperation in what I said, because I couldn’t care less if they spoke to me or not. I wasn’t trying to impress. I just did something to make them laugh and spoke to them naturally. They key was to be friendly and funny without trying to push for a specific outcome, and anything that naturally happens after that is a bonus. I’m sure many guys on this site already have that sussed, but it seems that there are so many men who are pushing their intentions onto others, and it always has to be a two-way street. So just go easy. If it happens, it happens. But if it doesn’t, that’s fine too. To get annoyed at that is almost like some weird egotism.

I used the same approach as a single on here and did very well. Some guys just dont get it. The more pushy and desperate you become the more the women back off. Ffs guys just treat the women with respect, talk to them as you would to any stranger with respect and dignity. You wont believe the abuse even us cpls get for turning down the so called hot male guys who think they are doing us a favour by offering their services to fuxk my mrs. Some just ruin it for the rest. We blocked all single guys as we are only after other cpls but one local guy has shone through and we will meet him for a play when it is safe to do so. If only other guys acted like me and you they would get results. Most think that cos they joined a swinging site they were guaranteed a shag as they think all the women are sex starved nymphos. They then get a wake up call when they do their blunt and disrespectful messaging asking to meet for a fuck. Some men just will never get it, some will learn and get results.

"Evening to all you Gentlemen.

So my question to you is, how often do you have luck when you message someone you like on here?

You need to resign yourself to the plain truth that you are 1:100 ( ish) ratio of 'possibles' for a meet and half of the 'possibles' are part of a couple only looking for a lady ' unicorn' anyway! ..like most on here, I got very jaded and gave up too., Frankly getting lots and lots of rejections or having quite nicely written and a well-thought message deleted or ignored is soul-destroying and has a bit of an impact on your mental health. I wouldn't suggest you ask people ' what's wrong with my profile' either as a way to get some form of contact .. unless as JN said 'if you can't handle the truth!'

SO.. Unless you are super confident I'd lower your expectations. These are my views as a very ordinary bloke don't forget.. so don't let that stop you having a go yourself of course

I dont believe its got anything to do with joining a sex site and its a golden ticket to get a shag, its charm, bit of luck, and most of all approachable attitude you got to have to stand any chance.

Men do get the hump, just like women do here but for rightful reasons, but if your profile says anything along the lines of approach me with manners and respect and people do and they just ignore you still then obviously you get the hump, its like saying good morning to a neighbour or someone you know and they blank you, like any person would get bit pissy about it so I would say this works similar way.
