I don't think it's quite as straight forward as looks. I'd actually say if you put your personality across here and get involved in the threads that you might have more luck with the sex  |

It's 'soul destroying' because men allow it to be. Too many men let women have the control, jump through too many hoops and justify entitled behaviour to get sex. This site would be a lot easier for men if they knew their worth, acknowledged what they bring to the table, only approached people they genuinely feel they match with and didn't let a pair of tits dictate their self esteem. If a website makes you feel bad, it's time to take a break and work on yourself. |

What she said but far more eloquently than I could.
I’m loving my fab time.
Or maybe I don’t have a soul to be destroyed. |

I'm on both dating sites and here and it's more frustrating than soul destroying for me as dating has changed so much.
Back in 2014, I could go on a date every week, sometimes multiple. Now, I've had 3 dates this year.  I recently got asked on a date after really hitting it off with the guy, only to be ghosted 24 hrs later. I currently have 174 matches on Tinder and none of them have potential to turn into dates - yes I do message first only to get unmatched or ignored.
Fab however is a different story... I can get can get meets like I could get dates back in 2014.
It is what it is. Fab fills the void until something more permanent comes along. |

Sorry totally disagree, may women don't care if you have the body of a Greek God, they want personality and conversation, someone to feel comfortable with and obviously attracted too.
Now I can be attracted to most body types as long as the personality is great.
What I hate about here is a lot (not all) men it's all about the cock & body - the here's my cock sit on it attitude stinks hardly makes me wanna drop my knickers.

It's only "soul destroying" if you allow it to be. I guess both here and on dating sites there are more men then women. Therefore, you do have to stand out, one way or another. Some rely on looks, others put effort into their profiles, get out in real life, attend socials or events.
But also, OP, look at it from the woman's point of view. How am I supposed to know whether I am interested in the person when all their profile is saying "here to meet x, y, z", "looking to explore" or similar, with absolutely zero personality? I'd rather just move on to someone who has made an effort, put some info in their profile, something that shows me we may have something in common. |

Knowing an amazing single 39 year old man on here who has amassed 14 incredible verfications in 8 months I have to disagree.He does not even have a six pack/Instagram bod.The OP's profile is completely dull and shows no effort and would be an instant no from me.
The man I met wrote me a brilliant respectful first message and his profile is excellent.
I love the fact that men have to make an effort here rather than relying on looks. |

I think fab and dating sites give an unrealistic view of the number of people you're likely to be compatible with. Pre internet you'd go out for the evening and maybe spot one or two people you liked the look of. Chances were they'd both be uninterested but you'd be with friends who could soften the blow. On the net you're faced with tens or even hundreds of seemingly compatible people, your sole purpose is to link up with them and you're probably on your own while surfing. No mate to buy you a consoling beer and chat to. In short meeting potential partners wasn't the sole purpose of a night out or any social situation usually you weren't alone , now it seems to be a solo occupation and any rejection has to be dealt with in your own. The entire purpose of being on certain web sites is to meet someone and if you don't you feel you've failed. |

He's been on here for 3 months, so his profile regardless that he wasn't asking for it to be critiqued can be worked on.. |

I met Mrs on Tinder about 18 months ago and definitely don't have the gym fit body.
Perseverance and being in it for the long game is key. I believe there's someone out there for everyone. |

That’s really not true on the full package and Instagram body - I’m living proof. But confused as you have a good recent veri from a social so you’ve got somewhere - more than many - and that will help meeting others. Do you think your profile is doing you justice? Perhaps your negative mind set is coming across in messages? |

I'd also agree with a little bit of work on your profile mate. It tell me little about what you're looking for or what you can bring the table. Not being critical, just some friendly advice. Mr |

I think sometimes people forget that when they engage with a profile on fab or a dating site it’s not a computer game, there is a real person on n the other end. Talk to people as you would in a cafe or a supermarket, rather than a brothel. The way we meet people has changed really dramatically but the people haven’t, they still want to feel special, to be treated with kindness and respect, and to have that spark.
You wouldn’t walk up to someone in a cafe, say “fancy a fuck?” and expect them to react well to it, so why would they do so on the internet?

Totally agree.I find it amazing the messages I get from men expecting a response.
If message consist of more that 5 words its a miracle.
If that's what's you say to a person in a bar then you will get nowhere with me.
