Does anyone get annoyed

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

When people message you asking you what you are into? I have interests listed on my profile. And I'm on here should them give a clear view of what I'm into.. Just gets on my tits to be honest

Or am I over reacting slightly??

Maybe these guys can't put a decent opening message together so resort to asking banal questions

Because a lot of people don't fill out their profiles properly, so maybe they assume others take the same lack of care? Despite the fact some profiles look well thought out before being published

I always check people's interests but I think it's the last thing a lot of people look at.

I.e read profile, check pics first.

This question gets on my nerves too. It says on my profile. Same as 'what you here for?' Or sending just the word 'hi'

It kinda highlights the people who haven't read your profile so I guess makes the block button easier to hit.

No you aren't.. Drives me mental too. I have on my profile please don't ask me this question and it still gets asked.. So I think I'm within my rights to delete those messages because they obviously haven't got as far as the text so don't really deserve an answer!

All received from recent new contacts with well written profiles themselves. Just smacks of laziness and lack of imagination. We don't even read messages like that anymore, if we see that in the first line it goes straight to the bin.

I think it's more a case of feeling like people aren't taking notice of your profile.

It's frustrating when people don't read and just see your pictures and say "I would" whilst clicking the message button.

I tend to read a profile and if they interest me, choose something I want to know more about and use that as an opener

Reply privately, Reply in forum +quote or View forums list

I personally (note:only opinion) think its a lazy persons conversation starter. Its up there with "hi how are you" . Saying that its anazing how many people just have "hi" or "ask me" as their profile rext... ask you what?? Why your socially inept or why english is a foreign concept to you? Nice points scarlet, no innuendo intended x

I find it to be a minor irritant and it marks the sender down in my estimation.

I'd rather get "hi, how are you". Anything you'd say to me if you saw me in a bar and wanted to chat that wouldn't get you slapped will work for me. The huge essays are a turn off as as the oh so witty, highly worked comments.

A simple hello is sufficient to send to check out the profile. Then I will decide either no, maybe or hell yes! If it's on of the latter two then what is said in the following conversation is far more important to me then the greeting.

Doesn't annoy us - just highlights the fact they haven't bothered reading the profile text - as we make specific reference to this!

Just makes it a far speedier decision to hit delete and block

In the ideal fab world we'd want people to read our profile, digest the information & send a well composed message, well the majority don't.

no point getting annoyed just use it as another filter, delete without reading.

along with boo, hiya, how's you, I'm in a hotel, do you take it up the **** etc etc!

I think this thread highlights the problems of being a solo. You can't politely enquire how someone is- delete and blocked, no using a witty opener as people say its cut and paste - delete and blocked, you can't ask someone to expand on a list of preferences - delete and blocked...

A solo must come up with something, funny/ interesting and relevant for every message that he sends out... Even then get judged on avatar picture without having own profile checked out - delete and blocked!

Ultimately solos get judged in the same way

I have done on occasion, it's rather satisfying.

As is replying to "Hi" with "Bye". Bless em, they get so confused!

Replying to some of those who really don't match my preferences gives me a fair amount of mischievous glee.

Not really.

A simple indication that you've read a profile suffices - introducing yourself and a one line explanation of why you 'may' be of interest is good enough.

Doesn't guarantee you won't get deleted or blocked. And you're right - many will view a profile before opening a message and if your avatar/profile isn't appealing/interesting to the viewer then you're off to a bad start already.

It's life on the internet - not just Fab!

I write first messages a few times actually.. I just never ever ask someone what they are into.. Just bluntly. It's annoying when I have interests on my page. First messages vary from profile to profile. With the volume of messages I get it can be annoying if say 6 outta 10 ask me what I'm interested in.. Makes me wanna scream. I just now hit delete.

It's disappointing when you get a message asking for information that's clearly in your profile.

Most of our opening messages are similar in nature they go, hello, we find your profile interesting especially x thing. We are gaz and Elle have a look at our profile and if interested message back, signed gaz and Elle + face pics.

Not Shakespeare but opens the conversation without an essay. Try to tailor each message but that's the outline.

Now that's a better opening message. Than what are you into.

Makes for a better read.

As for what I would like someone to say why list here? I like people to use their own initiative and write a message that isn't such as 'hi' or 'hi how are you' or what are you into? Etc. maybe ask me what I'm looking for from fab? As some people are only looking for sex where I like the social side too. Makes the sex better if you get to know someone first.
