I like people to tell me why they're contacting me in the first message. I don't want to deal with the medium of small talk to get to the point.
Then, if it's just the usual wanna fuck nonsense then I can just go straight to a no thanks 💜 |

That’s interesting. It’s definitely hard to start with small talk and pivot to a flirty or sexy conversation so that’s a good opening topic.  |

On the whole I don't want them.
I did actually put my perfect opening message on a thread the other day while my filters were down. I thought at least one person might notice and use it but no such luck 😂 |

I like upfront but not into sex talk, as too many just message, whilst they want. You need to make it clear from your tone and content, that you are not doing that. Otherwise, if you're friendly and respectful, then it's not off-putting and I'll take a look at your profile, to see if we may match. Avoid emphasis on the sex OP, for most of us. And have a profile that's good for you |

The "what would it take to fuck you?"...was soooo out of character for you, Jülië. I should have taken it for gospel. 😉 |

Was it ‘how you doin’ said in a Joey Trebbiani voice? |

"A “hi” is sufficient if you have a good profile to go on.
Not for us it's not.
Ok. But it is for me. Crazy how life works huh. "
You beat me to it. When I used to message there was no rhyme or reason to success. Sometimes a simple 'Hi, how's you?' would get a better response than a longer one. Sometimes humour, sometimes not. It's all about the follow up and maintaining chat. Decent chat. Not boring shite. |

Sometimes a funny one line opener is good. Sometimes a simple “hi” does the trick. It really all depends on how good your profile is. I’m looking at that before I open the message. |

"What do ladies like to receive as an opening message?
Hey how are you seems like a copy and paste job but launching straight into what turns you on seems a bit presumptive and rude also. "
OP, there is no perfect message. Just say what you want to say.
Anything written by committee here will almost certainly sound contrived.

"I responded to a ‘Hi! How are you tonight?’ message earlier. Cute couple. Gorgeous profile pic. Local. Had a brief chat.
They’ve gone unlos already. 🫥"
😂 Jesus what did you say for them to go UNLOS? 😂 |

Possibly, like you I check the pictures and bio anyway. I find women don't tend to do the witty one liner and just do the 'hi' thing and throw in a nice comment. Because, let's face it most women on Fab are nice and good at short, sharp and to the point. And of course, men aren't inundated with cold call 'Hellos' |

I’m trying not to take it personally. You’re not helping!
It could be worse...
I sent a face pic once and they blocked me 😢"
Same. It’s tough out here. |

I am sure in both instances we were just so good looking we gave them insecurity issues.  |

Don't talk about sex to a stranger get to know them and then maybe add innuendos but you'd be I'll advised to hit someone you've never spoken to and are unlikely to meet with sex as your introductory message .Really don't think sex think STRANGER . |

Honestly I’d rather some (or most) just didn’t. Rarely do people take time to get to know me and none ever read the profile. Way too many choose to ignore my wishes and be pushy in meeting when it says clear on the profile I don’t do private meets and why
If someone is going to an event then gladly message me and let’s chat but most just want to meet asap and that’s never going to work |

I look at the profile before I even open the message… then what level of effort I’ll tolerate/reply to depends on compatibility.
A simple ‘hi’ from a guy with a decent profile, clean and clear pic, and a realistic distance or suggestion on how organising a meet would go logistically works fine. |

"I guess it helps if you’re relatively local too! "
Distance doesn't mean anything to me.
I go for guys I like not guys that are convenient.
Which is probably why I never have sex.

I sent a face pic to one woman only to get the reply "Fuck off, you're ugly"  |
