"I always try to avoid asking how their day is/how they are/what they’re up to because it’s soooooo tedious having that conversation loads of times. I usually just send a joke. " This is a tricky one. I fully agree with you, but also on the flip to that I as a person am just like thst. If I'm talking to somebody I'd like to get to know I am genuinely interested in how their day is. On one hand it is a polite question (that can be genuine) but on the other it pretty much is basic small talk. | |||

"I’m not a woman so can’t answer but surely women answer messages from guys they fancy? So even if you write the nicest messages if she don’t wanna rip your clothes off she’s not gonna waste her time. " If someone has taken the bother to write a decent message I always reply even if it's a thank you for the message but no thank you. Think it's the polite thing to do if someone has gone to all that effort | |||
"Now play nice all, this is just a post to see your own opinions and what’s worked and what hasn’t for you. As a single guy, on an app absolutely saturated by men who sometimes ‘struggle’ to get what they want and then resort to abuse. I genuinely feel sorry for all of you women and couples out there. Even some men get that abuse. Now I want to know, what kind of message would make you stop what you’re doing and actually read what’s been wrote? A long, thoughtful message, a short probably copy and paste message who’s being used on everyone? Personally, I’ve noticed what works for me best is including a couple of recent photos, reading the profile and commenting about one thing and then asking how their day is. It’s all different for everybody though isn’t it, it’s a crazy playground out here and it’s genuinely like finding a needle in the haystack. C" You have it spot on, read a profile and send a message in relation to what is said | |||

Think it's the polite thing to do if someone has gone to all that effort" I’m sure that works for some of you on here. I understand from reading and speaking to many women that not all reply for fear of abuse, or trying to initiate conversation when it’s not wanted etc. Personally it doesn’t bother me, if a woman deletes my message without a response I know where I stand and I move on. It actually doesn’t take that long to write a message. Especially when some chaps copy & paste. | |||

I know who I am and who I quest and oddly enough that tiny proportion of special ladies like that about me | |||

I thought to myself , hmm things ,what are things ? So philosophically I replied Some things are good and other things most tragic Do I win a prize ? Still no reply or prize

"As a couple a message that actually acknowledges that fact. The content varies but essentially a message where they speak to me as a grown woman not an object" Thank you, fantastic reply. I think that’s what we’re missing on this app. People forgetting how to speak to somebody like a real human | |||

"Say a woman gets 50 messages a day, some might get more and some might get less but let's say 50. Let's also say she works all day so doesnt reply to the messages as and when they arrive. So she comes home, gets fed and watered and does whatever else and then sits down for a couple of hours for Fab. So opens her message box and theres 50 there to be read. I would guess that the ones with the attachment icon on them might grab her attention first as she gets to see a pic along with the message. So she gets through those, maybe half of the total, let's say 25. To get through them she has had to evaluate the pics for attractiveness, read the message big or small, decipher the thing as a lot of people will have written in their own style which when written down doesnt translate as well as spoken, decide whether she's interested or not and then delete or keep. She's not gonna reply right away as she has another 25 to get through, plus she doesnt want to seem too keen and when she came online in the first place she was hoping to chat a bit with her current friends or on the forum, and also perv at new men or old favourites. By the time she gets through the 50 messages it's late on, other guys have seen her online and have been messaging her too flat out, she's done a bit of flirting too on the forum so she's spent a bit of time checking out profiles and thinking of witty but playful replies. It's now nearly bedtime but she has time to reply to 1 or 2 of the messages she liked but the others will have to wait, it's ok though because the guys are secure enough to realize that read but not deleted means dont give up hope(nothing more), you might still hear from me. She goes to bed and does the life thing the next day and when she goes onto Fab she has 50 new messages to get through, today isn't just as bad though as some of the messages are from impatient and insecure guys and are either rude or downright abusive, quick delete and block. This gives her more time which she spends feeling disillusioned about the men on Fab and she adds another level to her wall. That dragged on but say this scenario, give or take a few changes, is typically average. The best advice I could then give is send a pic and a personal message, not too long but not too short, and hope for the best. If she does delete you're in with a chance "That’s exactly how it is. I’m flabbergasted a man actually gets what it’s like for us women here | |||

That’s exactly how it is. I’m flabbergasted a man actually gets what it’s like for us women here "Oh quite a few of us get it. Just % wise it is low | |||

I’m not being big headed at all (as actually quite insecure!) but I had over 150 messages on Saturday, it’s great.
