So what are your thoughts on responding to a couple who have "fabbed" some of my profile pics but whose own profile suggests Im not there type ? Dont want to be a pain by messaging someone who's not looking for what im offering but on the other hand they did "fab" my pics.

"You could always send a polite "thanks for the fabs" message. If they don't respond you have your answer  "
This is what I tend to do.
If I don't get a reply, I'm still happy someone liked my picture! |

Personally I think it's weird to send a message if you blatantly do not fit what someone is looking for on a profile. If I fab a pic it's because I like it, it's interesting/fun, looks sexy etc. Which does not translate to wanting to meet someone. I used to fab a lot of pics but got fed up with the messages of entitlement that I would then receive - how dare I fab a pic if I then didn't want to travel 400 miles to shag them! So I rarely fab now. So just enjoy the fabs on your pics and, I would suggest, only message the fabber if you are within their requirements and geographically within reason. |

This is why I don’t fab pics! You can guarantee that minutes later you’ll get a message wanting to chat etc. and wondering why I don’t want to meet because I fabbed their pic. |

"I hardly get any views on my profile and people very rarely read my messages. I’ve had about 2 replies since joining and both been negative replies. I guess there’s something wrong with me "
Many women view in stealth and don't show on your Looked at me page.
You have 3 veris so 3x better than many men. |

Go to socials and clubs to meet people ...chatting and meeting via fabs is a long game. |

"We fab pics for all sorts of reasons but if we want to engage with someone we send them a message. We don't check who fabs our pictures."
This, on a impulse its usually for a genuine admiration of the image, one of us has an appreciation for the art, the other puts up the snaps on show 
Likewise engagement with anyone, including some that have fabbed ours is because why be coy? If you want to go to the next level, someone has to make the first move.
Someone we both adore, really adore, thought we'd never go with them but were astonished by getting a message saying that we were interested in them. That wouldn't have been known if it had been left to fan pics tennis. |

This is what I've always done in the past and has led to some great chatting and connection |

This fabbing a pic doesn't mean i want to meet them or even chat |

I send a brief 'Thanks' message, and try to reciprocate with 'Fabs' of one or more of their pics...
....usually that's it, but occasionally it leads to exchanges of messages - sometimes with a view to something more...  |

"In all honesty, we would never message and just see fabs as just a small compliment.
We fab if a pic stands out or we can see that there has been effort or an attempt at originality."
Fabs could be improved though if we could maybe have a thumbs up or thumbs down. |

I don't think many people fab pictures expecting to receive messages in return. For one thing it's perfectly possible to like a picture but not want to meet or engage with the subject of it for whatever reasons(s).

I can’t see that sending a polite “thank you for the fabs, I have read your profile and I know I’m not what you’re looking for but just wanted to say thanks, it means a lot” kind of thing would be a big problem.
You acknowledge that you have read their profile and that you’re not expecting anything and if they want to take conversation further they can.
Just my 2 cents |

Absolutely! Also, if you're really not what they're looking for then they will filter their message settings so you can't message them.
We've reciprocated to pic fabs with a few fans of our own. After that, a wink or a message from them usually follows. It's a great way to test the waters without being full on. |

If it helps, we wouldn't send you a message if you fabbed one of our pics |

I often fab pics purely because I like the images, or appreciate what I see, not because I’m always interested. As others have said above, a polite thanks for the fab message sounds like a great way of finding out if they’re interested! You never know, maybe they’re in the middle of messaging you right now!

My answer to that is you can like and appreciate what a person looks like but your text in your profile might not be what they are looking for.

I fab pics of all sorts of people, some I've no intention of meeting, just because I appreciate the photo. If they then message with a "thanks for the fab" I'll either reply in an open chatty fashion if I'm interested, or with a "you're welcome" and nothing more if I don't want to take it any further.
I don't object at all to a thank you message, but my enjoying a photo doesn't necessarily mean I want to meet up. I do find sometimes my fabbing a picture ends with me blocking the profile because they've read a lot more into the fab than was intended and no amount of "thanks but no thanks" will convince them otherwise. |

Some times send a polite thank you but also read their bio and view their pictures see if anything I may like to fab and might just have a non sexual normal chat people are interesting to get to know without it leading anywhere. |
