What's you prefered first approach?

Fabs

Winks

Messages

My usual approach is all in this order, but leaving a 5 minute gap before messaging.

Won't share my success rate, sorry.

As an extremely handsome*, sexy* and popular* single guy here, I don't mind any kind of approach.

(I know it's the third thread about winks today)

* = Sarcasm or slight exaggeration

I didn't even counts fabs as an approach.

Should I?

It's just means they either like the photo or the person that's in it.

Winks. I send and rarely look at winks sent to me. I just check the profile I've winked to see if they've winked back....I know that's crazy.

Messages. Are like cold callers on the phone trying to sell you kitchens you didn't even show an interest in.

More women check me out when I Fab photos.

Obviously can't comment on the ones in ninja mode.

I send message when someone keep checking me out from a reasonable distance from me.

Otherwise it's just people from the forum.

A message that’s more than just “hey” or a list of demands

A conversation followed by a drink at a quiet pub would be nice

For us there's not really a preference between wink or message. We tend not to be looking too much on here and do most of our swinging/hunting in clubs, parties or just out for the night. So if we get and message or a wink, first thing we'd do is check out the profile. If the profile is someone that is exceptionally our cup of tea then there is always the chance we may be tempted despite not normally meeting off here.

However if it is an opening message with a sort terrible opening line fancy a fuck, meet now etc, etc that's going nowhere with us. One could argue with a wink you get to show your intent, get their potential intrest without the risks of your words in an opening message sinking you

How many women messaging you first?

If women message me, than it's 99%:

" Hi! How are you?"

" What are you into?"

When I've wanted to contact a guy, I message him. And start the conversation.

I wink and fab before messaging for a different reason.

If they are interested, then they will fab/wink/message or any, so I send a message.

Otherwise I will just spend my precious time to write a personalized, confident, positive message.

1. Either sitting in their inbox for a couple of weeks unread, then I delete it.

2. Read and deleted within 1 minute.

3. (Prefered and understandable)

Opened and not deleted, but no reply.

No thanks would be nice, but I understand you can't do that with 100-200 mails a day.

Preferred first approach, there isn't one. You can't guage anything about me from my profile, and a single message summarises nothing about me either.

The way I interact online says more. Some people pick up on that and it's a conversation.

Not many people from my area on forums, so it's not really an option for me.

Have you ever had a meet with anyone from the forum?

I can do that actually, but I thought poems are more vanilla / romantic thing.

Not really for a swinger / hookup site.

It personally hit the spot for me. It meant he stood out a million miles to anyone else in my inbox and that he'd read and respected my profile. I very much appreciated the effort he'd gone too, to do that. Too many on here expect a lot with a little effort.

As a result, he'd got my number within 2 messages.

In the virtual realm where lust and desire mix,

There lies a profile with words that do not fix.

Curvy and busty, seeking the perfect FwB,

A journey embarked on Fab, where like minds play.

Dating, oh the woes, a path that led astray,

Now resigned, but all on the same page today.

Building connections, unveiling the core,

Seeking mental stimulation, and physical encore.

For in this realm where desires unwind,

A friendship blooms, through pleasures we find.

Friends as well as fuckers, a beautiful blend,

A soul connection coveted, moving beyond the trend.

But patience, dear seeker, is the chosen path,

Getting to know a soul before embracing the bath.

No rush to meet, for trust must intertwine,

A foundation built, before bodies align.

And as the desires within your heart unfold,

The Fuckit List within the data of old,

Curiosity beckons, daring to explore,

The realms that passion and longing adore.

CNC, an avenue where trust leads the show,

ANR/ABF, embracing a nurturing flow.

Fisting, an act that demands immense trust,

Being made to orgasm, a surrender, a must.

An open relationship, a brave endeavor,

Where boundaries shift, love hunts forever.

But attached guys get blocked, a boundary clear,

For a heart unattached, is what we hold dear.

In this profile, a glimpse of desires wild,

A seeking soul no longer with hope beguiled.

For in this realm, though virtual and unseen,

Connections ignite, and souls start to gleam.

Most of us not sending "suck my dick", "free now" or "wanna fuck" messages.

I'm getting those messages too from single guys.

If they would read my bio, then they would know they are barking up the wrong tree.

I'd say it's 10% of messages from guys like that for me.

I don't judge an entire gender based on this.

Whatever feels comfortable to you though.

I never look at fabs as interest, I just assume they like the pic and nothing more.

I'll respond to a wink if I like the profile however I think I've only ever winked a handful back & only 1 followed up with a message so it seems a bit pointless.

It's easier to respond to a message than the others because it's more clear they are interested.

It's the best approach I agree.

In the other hand not many women messaging first, even though 90% they won't get ignored.

60-90% a single guy's message will be ignored, depending on looks and message content obviously.

I have and would never send messages like that.

These 'how r u?' messages are so generic and lazy that I am also astonished that anyone would reply to them.

Oddly enough I have received them here and on another site and they are usually from some bloke offering me his services despite a profile stating straight

On F'swingers I believe that if I 'fab' a picture it shows that I like or appreciate the content, it also helps the other person see if what they are showing appeals, more importantly who it is interesting.

If I would like more, hey, a personalised message is the only way and it will, by the very nature of the beast explain exactly why I am writing. I might also send a wink in parallel.

With all of this in mind, I read the profiles before even thinking of messaging...I will look at 'veris' if the person has them, if not then I don't see this with any negativity.

It's very much like any business meeting, I gather as much information as is available to me and then decide my action plan.

Does this work?

Over numerous years, yes although things take time.. that is my experience.

There are too many fakes or rude people about on the male side that spoil it for others and this affects those you write to, as such managing expectations is paramount

"What's you prefered first approach?

Fabs

Winks

Messages

My usual approach is all in this order, but leaving a 5 minute gap before messaging.

Won't share my success rate, sorry.

As an extremely handsome*, sexy* and popular* single guy here, I don't mind any kind of approach.

(I know it's the third thread about winks today)

* = Sarcasm or slight exaggeration

I didn't even counts fabs as an approach.

Should I?

It's just means they either like the photo or the person that's in it.

Winks. I send and rarely look at winks sent to me. I just check the profile I've winked to see if they've winked back....I know that's crazy.

Messages. Are like cold callers on the phone trying to sell you kitchens you didn't even show an interest in."

You have really thought that through, I guess I’ll just need to wait for that wink

It really is a woman’s world here

"I never look at fabs as interest, I just assume they like the pic and nothing more.

I'll respond to a wink if I like the profile however I think I've only ever winked a handful back & only 1 followed up with a message so it seems a bit pointless.

It's easier to respond to a message than the others because it's more clear they are interested.

Mrs "

If you get a fab from someone relatively local, then it's 100% interest.

Obviously the ones 200 miles away just horny guys from the forum mostly.

***Autocorrect is annoying today***

"A simple hi how are you is a good starter for me if I'm in the mood to get chatty with a view to meeting

Honestly I had 0 success with "hello,how are you?" messages on any dating / hookup site, so I guess you are rare and appreciated.

I stopped sending those kind of messages a long time ago.

I have and would never send messages like that.

These 'how r u?' messages are so generic and lazy that I am also astonished that anyone would reply to them.

Oddly enough I have received them here and on another site and they are usually from some bloke offering me his services despite a profile stating straight

Text language is annoying form even women, but usually after 5.75 seconds of consideration, I decide I bite the bullet anyway.

Haven't used " Hi! How are you?" messages in years.

Never ever used text language.

I used "Lol" as a reply to the same 2-5 times maybe.

One lady approached me saying how much she loved my profile but not to bother responding to her as I'm not her type. She promptly blocked me.

Same approach by another lady a few weeks later. We swapped face pics but I looked too similar to her ex and it made her just want to 'punch me in the throat'.

I'm tempted to change my profile to say 'Will fill in later, followed by some long disclaimer about use of my photos'.

It's a woman's world everywhere, if it's about sex. They hold the power of the vag.

It's just slapping you in the face harsher than offline.

They have more men to pick from.

You have less chance to prove you are worthy.

Simple, I guess...

A message. Something that reflects that they've read my profile and get me on some level. Especially my humour.

My favourite was quite a short one to be honest...

Read your profile, where do I throw my knickers?

Made me laugh.

I had the same last week.

She approached me with some wishes no every man wants / admit to do.

Text language and a confusing couple profile with confusing messages.

At some point I asked, if it will be just the 2 of us, or couple scenario...etc.

Followed by " I dunno" and blocked me.

That message was really deep.

Makes you think about important things in life.

I'd fall for that too.

I think some lazy / d*unk people just keep swiping right.

Then just pick the matches they fancy and ignore the rest.

I care about woman's soul and satisfaction, not just their body.

Power of the vag is not a myth.

Not going to have sex with every woman I fancy, just because they have a vagina.

I must admit I'm weak, so quite easily convinced.

If you read a "decent" message, but you don't fancy 100% the guy (not my type, but okay):

1. You ignore him?

2. You send "No thanks" ?

3. You go for it, because he is nice / looks okay?

I turned the Fabs off, I'd turn winks and friend requests off too if it was possible.

Always a msg as first contact.

That's extremely rare and alway blaming the rude guys.

I mean if you read it and liked it, then a "No thanks" take seconds.

I guess you don't like them all and you don't read them all.

Take 2 seconds to be nice can make someone's day better.

Even with a no thanks.

I wish more women like you would be here.

Thanks!
