Block men from messaging. Problem solved. |

Happens too often. I even abridged my original profile so that the poor dears didn't get overstretched whilst reading it. It's a short cut to being blocked and they will never realise why! |

If people read my profile there is a reason why my profile is set for anyone that can message me sometimes it's just common sense for people to actually read a profile instead of just thinking what you are |

"It's not just men but also couples and single women still wink and invite us to bi parties etc. We are both very straight and Rosie has no interest in women at all which is clear in our profile"
Exactly, we get same on our couple profile and on this one I've had couples message me, despite me not meeting them. |

But it saves so much effort. You are only going to have gay and bi men messaging, you are not going to get genuine straight men messaging to set you up with a female, very unlikely on here. Block single males and problem solved. I have blocked TV from messaging me as I know many would from past experience, so rather than moan on a thread if they had I have set my filters  |

I don't tend to read profiles if they are hella long I get bored after first chapter if only ppl make them short and sweet think mines as short as I can make it now! Short and sweet and to the point and yet ppl don't read it right? I don't block anyone as I like to arrange socials and they are open to everyone...but if you have particular preferences put them at top of your profile in block capitals....maybe they will get read quicker ....want a essay!
But you get my point I hope x |

OK, so I read your profile and nowhere does it say you don't want men to contact you (when they are horny) or you don't want to be sent dick pics... you simply say you are straight ( which btw on fab, that doesn't really mean much) - plenty of "straight " men on here that "swing both or multiple ways ".
The idea that all people will be respectful, decent, kind, ( read your profile or read your profile and not message you to try to get a quick shag) is simply not realistic...many human beings will simply not show you that level of respect, or treat you with the same decency you would them (more so on a sex site where they are anonymous), and no matter what you do, you won't be able to change that.
So here are the only two options... you block all men from messaging you (which is what I have done) or you allow everyone to message you and also accept that there will be some rude/undececent/unsolicited messages (which you can block and ignore).
And please don't misunderstand my comment, I'm not saying this to be pretentious or passive aggressive, as I honestly don't know if you opened the thread because you are genuinely sick of those messages or you are more amused by them than anything. Either way, all the best to you!

Do people read profiles?
I'm my personal opinion I think the vast majority of chaps on here refrain from glancing any further than the first line of a profile, they are never sentences!
These afore mentioned chaps read that previously mentioned line then head straight to the (.)Y(.), /^\ * /'\ photographs, get their whallopers out to give it a gentle caress. If they can multitask  they ask if that person would like a good bumming or to have their pussy licked for hours before... all while spanking their monkey, therefore their brains are not fully engaged in the task at hand, please excuse the pun.
The short answer to your question OP is...no. |

I would say 70% do not read profiles, males that is, and it says so much about them. If they cannot be bothered to take a minute or so to read a profile how will they cope with the full process of an actual meet? It seriously puts me off personally |

Yep. Happens all the time.
Got a message this morning asking to meet for a quick fuck 
How do they expect me to believe I'll actually be satisfied by them when they can't even be bothered to read my profile.
Cba to read that then why would you listen to to what I like, need, want.
Or there's those who read it then decide to ignore it, because clearly THEY are the exception.  |

You know you have dodged a bullet when they get argumentative or insulting if you tell them to read profiles first, it reveals arrogance in those people. Some of my best past meets on last profile were by coincidence with people who fully read my profile. Might just be my experience but I view it as a good indicator |

What I personally find irritating is when people read my profile far enough to read my required message title, but not far enough to read that I delete people without profile pictures outright!
You’d think reading the full thing would be in everyone’s best interest  |

I have written ‘not answering hi or what are you looking for messages anymore’ right at the top of my profile text.
I still get ‘hi’ messages especially from straight guy profiles, that’s further down the text, that I’m not meeting anyone who claims they’re straight but want to fuck me.
Starting to think they’re taking the piss |

Most don’t bother reading profiles . Just blocked a newly created account that stated he was from USA. Kept asking for a relationship. Tried to explain I wasn’t interested but kept messaging me. He is blocked now so end of the matter |

I do something similar.
I frequently respond with "You clearly got distracted by the photos and didn't bother to read the text." Or "Ever considered reading profiles before messaging?" if it's graphic or weird.
If it makes no sense I send "Eh?"
I have been known to get apologies |

"Point is.....People shouldn't need to block anyone!
Why? There are lots of good reasons to block people. "
Ofcourse there are lots of good reasons, I meant in general.
Obviously if someone is being abusive etc...block.
Just because I'm not looking to meet X,Y and Z doesn't mean I should block them.
They just need to read the profile. |

As discussed on another thread, other people sometimes do things differently though, don't they? I can block whoever I want for whatever reason I want. |

Lots of people can't be arsed reading profiles and in my experience is more often than not well verified people who are the biggest culprits.
Apparently there is an unwritten rule somewhere that says men don't really mean a word they say on their profile and those with more than 100 veries are exempt anyway.
That's why mine is worded the way it is because it puts the tyrekickers off. |

"Nah, it'll never catch on...
Until fab introduces the option for profile owners to set multiple choice questions that must be answered by anyone, before they are able to send a message. "
This would be good, and if they dont meet the criteria, for the type of person you're looking for, they cant message it is frustrating when people dont read your profile bio. |

And?
Don't let others affect you. If something isn't right for you just move on. It's only the Interweb they are not sitting next to you annoying you with there ways.
The real point is some take it way to serious like fab is there whole life and miss the point of it should be about having fun and the good times they desire. Delete block move on do what ever but don't let it bother you in anyway as it will affect your fun and you will become one of the moaners instead of one of the ones laughing and having fun on here |

Have to kind of agree with this. There's so many 'straight' guys on fab who enjoy sexual activity with men that I think some people just try their luck with everyone despite what their profile says |

Many of them genuinely believe they are actually straight as they are ‘only’ attracted to cocks and not the rest so can not possibly be gay or bi. Deluded to say the least |

I get your point but when you're constantly blocking or having to ignore messages etc it starts to take the enjoyment out of it. There needs to be a balance - Respect of boundaries and the pursuit of enjoyment. |
