Some do, some don’t.
Bit annoying when people don’t, but I use it as a filter. If you can’t be bothered taking the time to read my profile, what else can’t you be bothered taking the time to do? |

I find that men who message like that are just checking which women near them are online - they are often the "anywhere, anytime, anyhow" men. Not for me  |

I can safely say a lot of men don't. My profile only has looking for woman on it. It states in the text no men or couples and directs couple to my couples profile, yet I still get numerous messages from men. I don't want to block men because I happily chat to people from the forums |

Trouble is we are taught from a young age when we meet someone new to ask 'Hi, how are you'. It's polite, a sign of manners.
A percentage of these polite questions will be piss takers not sure if above or below 50%.
But they are not being rude or offensive if mentioned in a genuine way.
Would you prefer if they asked 'Hi, can I bang the Mrs'? As an opening line |

We do photos first, then profile and then usually realise one of us is out of the age range!! No harm in looking though |

We'd say 10% do which rules 90% out, filter works perfectly.
We will say it's not just single men though the numbers for couples are similar but we assume some of them are the male alone. The filter works just as well here too |

The ones that clearly haven’t are the ones we simply ignore. Not going to bother getting into a dialogue with them, they obviously only look at pictures and can understand simple 1 syllable words such as yes, want and fuck. Some reason no doesn’t seem to feature to highly for them. |

Out of all the messages I've received this week, only 3 had bothered to read it.
Many where copy & paste messages - funny when you're sat with one of your best friends, our profiles couldn't be more different, and she recieves the exact same messages.
Too many to count included cock pics.
A few dozen meet me now requests.
Similar asking me... What looking for, or a badly written porn script.
It's a good job, I've got a sense of humour!

Must of had about 3 or 4 this weekend alone. Astonishing really how they expect to meet on here, but then again, if there going to send as many 'copy & paste' messages i suppose the law of average must kick in along the way and get at least one reply. I wonder if the people who do the 'copy & paste' messages are the same people who moan that they dont get any meets ?? |

I read them, within limits. A profile should be of a reasonable length, not a chapter from a novel. Also, the chances I'll decide your profile is worth the effort is proportional to your ability to spell and punctuate correctly. |

"Ours clearly says don't bother asking how we are but...Guess what, at least 10 messages a day asking how we are!!
Yeah, and don't get me started on people who don't even read threads in the forums properly.
Anyhoo, how are you?
we asked for that really didn't we?! "
Yeah, soz, was just being a bit flippant lol.
We make sure we read a profile, and check out if they are looking for the same as us etc.
We get the same sort of thing, as well as people asking if Jayne meets alone etc, we just delete and move on. |

Although you do get the overly obnoxious bibliographies spaning over 1000 words long with no bullet points, paragraphs or any kind of structural order.

People who don't read profiles, especially mine when unhidden, are only wasting time. I explicitly explain what I'm looking for and even my thought process in filtering through the messages. Receiving a load of messages from men that don't meet my criteria is actually only a waste of both of our times. |

Sadly despite our effort to create a profile so many don't read at all. It's reasonably long but not miles.
Wanna meet?

How are you?

No absolutely not. if a profile doesn't interest me i move on. Would be foolish to contact them haha 
For the record i must say though with regards to poorly structured profiles; there seems to be an underlining notion some women have and go with the idea that because they are in such 'high demand' they can set their profile as an obstacle course followed by their 100 commandments as opposed to a good introduction to themselves.
That i find distasteful and puts me off straight away |

I always read through - you’ve got to.
There might be something on there which you don’t like or that you’re not.
What’s the point in messaging someone who you’re clearly not the type for!
It makes me chuckle when people say ‘No Asain men!’ And then message me. I never point it out but I’m white British Indian mixed race. Doesn’t bother me but if they found out half way through... what would happen?! |

"I read them.
That's why I don't message anyone to see if they're interested in meeting......
i do not send any message too only view due to it being a waste of time sending loads and nothing in return "
I've yet to see a female profile that's looking for anyone who slightly resembles me. So why bother?
Obviously no female member looks at mine and likes what she sees so my inbox remains empty, other than friends I chat to.
It simply saves any time being wasted. |

I tried a little experiment over the last week.
I made all but a few of my pics friends only & removed all my profile text.
When I had a quite descriptive bio, clear lines on what I was looking for, very clear lines on what I wasn't looking for along with message & profile types I wouldn't respond too I was some days getting 150+ messages.
This week, I've been getting 10 a day at the most!
I'm amused, but obviously now have a dilemma.
Leave it as it is right now, and don't have to waste my time, skimming through, deleting messages & possibly blocking people I'm not intrested in?
Or change it back as I could potentially but putting off people I may be intrested.
Jeeez... I'm giving myself a headache! |

If you're really keen on experiments, do it for at least a few days and over a weekend. 'Friday night wanking pissed men' react differently to profiles than 'Monday morning sober men at work' do.
I did that with the current experiment, even left myself logged on while out & about, slightly out of my usual area.
Got a busy morning, ill try the changes later today x
I think it times out after 5 minutes and shows the profile as 'offline' until you reload the page or click on something.
Good luck. x
It does?
Didn't know that!
Tbh, I had no signal all day Saturday, too much interference round Preston Park.
The amount of views I've been getting hasn't dropped, it's just the volume of messages
Profile change done, I've started a thread to report my findings I looked you've put pics in friends only is that only change? I always engage brain even when I'm sitting on it ha"
Part 1 was remove all pics & text.
Part 2, pics still friends only, but I've put my bio back up |

"I tried a little experiment over the last week.
I made all but a few of my pics friends only & removed all my profile text.
When I had a quite descriptive bio, clear lines on what I was looking for, very clear lines on what I wasn't looking for along with message & profile types I wouldn't respond too I was some days getting 150+ messages.
This week, I've been getting 10 a day at the most!
I'm amused, but obviously now have a dilemma.
Leave it as it is right now, and don't have to waste my time, skimming through, deleting messages & possibly blocking people I'm not intrested in?
Or change it back as I could potentially but putting off people I may be intrested.
Jeeez... I'm giving myself a headache!
Try leaving the pics as they are but put the old profile text back on. Another experiment, see what happens.

ahhhh OK well the bio looks great it makes sense to me, you want a guy when he approaches you to engage you with interesting intelligent humorous conversation and send you a face pic before you will consider a reply I didn’t see anything about height other than you are 6' and the pics you show are OK but then I've seen your face and body pics |

"Most are saying they read them, before this thread I'd have said most that send me messages haven't read my profile BUT now I'm thinking (if people are being honest in this thread) they read profile like they state on here, see they're not what the persons looking for but message anyway because .......... well I'm not sure!
because women are in short supply maybe
That's no excuse for not reading a profile though!it is......... You've got to get in quick before the other 1143 guys who havnt read it
People who don't read profiles, especially mine when unhidden, are only wasting time. I explicitly explain what I'm looking for and even my thought process in filtering through the messages. Receiving a load of messages from men that don't meet my criteria is actually only a waste of both of our times.Hey i read profiles I'm just offering reasons why many don't...... I agree about wasting time but a great percentage of people actually are wasting their time coming here
Ah, misunderstood your point there!
They aren't wasting their time coming here, they just need to understand the whole point of the site properly!
What is the whole point of the site?
It's not instashag.
It is for some people. "
It's a swinging site. Therefore not instashag. |

"I try reading all profiles
Although you do get the overly obnoxious bibliographies spaning over 1000 words long with no bullet points, paragraphs or any kind of structural order.
(Like bruh )
Those ones i tend to avoid
Would you still contact that person though?
No absolutely not. if a profile doesn't interest me i move on. Would be foolish to contact them haha
For the record i must say though with regards to poorly structured profiles; there seems to be an underlining notion some women have and go with the idea that because they are in such 'high demand' they can set their profile as an obstacle course followed by their 100 commandments as opposed to a good introduction to themselves.
That i find distasteful and puts me off straight away "
It's not an obstacle course if you fit the criteria |

I did my own experiment over the last couple of weekends - one with pictures, one without. I'm now hidden again as I got fed up of the faf messages I got from both. Although, I got way more when I had pictures out! |

Of course not, I explicit make it a perogative of mine to close my eyes and click on a profile on the hot pics page and use (,copy and paste,) my most effective chat up line that makes the recipient moister than an oyster; "sup bby wan sum fuk". Sprinkle a blurry cock pic and recline in my chair as the universe guides their head towards my appendage |

Nope they don’t, they look at the pictures then message. Or maybe that’s just my experience? |

Some profiles are so vague and empty that it's sometimes quite hard to make that first contact when you've got nothing to work. Not saying that's your profile, just in general.
One of the problems is people say that the kind of first they dislike are those that jump right into talk of sex. But it's a site based around that and a lot of profiles are tailored around it with nothing else.
I got given advice when I first joined here saying I should tell people about the side of me that isn't on fab. My hobbies, interests, that they wanna know who I am. It hasn't gotten me anywhere, I still haven't met anyone, but I get the point they were making.
So if you don't have a bit about your vanilla life outside of Fab and it's just all about the sex / swinging side of it, then you're more than likely to receive messages that are either boring, generic or off-putting.
POF is exactly the same. If there's nothing on a profile, how do I approach that person? What do I say? I tend to not bother with those kind of profiles because they come across as lazy. And I can't be arsed putting in the graft to talk to someone who just isn't that bothered herself.
Sometimes it's better for women to take the initiative themselves. That way it might stop the boring, generic ''hi'' or ''how are you?'' messages and spark a genuine conversation, so long as the woman's first message is something they themselves want to read. I tend to think men try harder with profiles with than women, I don't know why because I don't think the profile and personality of the man is what sells the women on them. It's attractiveness. |

a quandary, could you change my mind? |
I always read the profiles, probably why I send so few messages. |
Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
Why read when there are pretty pictures?
To be fair I do read profiles that are witty and engaging. If they’re long, demanding, up their own arses and fucking boring then I’ll give up and not bother with messaging. |

You haven't read many male profiles on here, have you?
The majority are "will fill in later" or "am horny". There is absolutely nothing about them, apart from the fact they are male, have a functioning appendages and want to use it in any hole available! |

For me it's simple, if the profile is boring and or written in text speak, I won't spend the time of day messaging them. I prefer to talk and meet with people who put effort in as you know it will end with better fun than with people who can't be arsed to spend 5 minutes writing something about themselves or what they want... |
