"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 " How many women messaging you first? If women message me, than it's 99%: " Hi! How are you?" " What are you into?" Pussy/ass/action photo I don't mind, just for reference... | |||

"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 " 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 try to behave with more or less success. | |||

"Messages. Nothing else. I don't have fabbing on my pics and there's only 2. I don't look at winks. When I've wanted to contact a guy, I message him. And start the conversation. " Women can have success with any kind of approach here. | |||

"I had an incredible first message this week... A lengthy rhyming poem using details from my profile to obv show he'd read it. Puts any other message to shame now.

"Talking to me like a human being and not just a fuck hole would be lovely. Also acknowledging that I have a profile. You know I do. " You are nice. | |||

"Hopefully a genuine person writing a polite introduction message. Have had to block males again.Was getting some very disturbing messages." 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. | |||
"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 found these days the best approach is when I message them first. " 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. | |||

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 | |||

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.

"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'. " 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. | |||
"I get winked at then wink back and blocked … I am clearly missing something.. says he ( waiting for one particular wink today ) " It's as common as match on Tinder and never get a reply. | |||
"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." That message was really deep. Makes you think about important things in life. I'd fall for that too. | |||
"I get winked at then wink back and blocked … I am clearly missing something.. says he ( waiting for one particular wink today ) It's as common as match on Tinder and never get a reply." Women get this too - I find most of the men I match with on Tinder or Bumble etc never reply. | |||

"Is it the power of the pussy or is it that women just happen to be in possession of the thing (pussy) that guys consider as the prize to conquer?" 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. | |||
| |||
"I never look at fabs or winks. A decent message would suffice x" 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 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! | |||
