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

Sadly, after months of sending endless messages and getting very few responses and no meetings, I’m struggling to get anything from the site.

I don’t think my approach is bad and I know I’m too forward or disrespectful with messages on here but something must not be right as I’m yet to get any lasting conversations when I do get the odd response so it seems being offered a meeting must be as rare as having your numbers come up on the lottery.

’m slowly running out of people local to me to message but why is it so hard to find a connection with someone for some mutual fun?

I can't answer your question but I do know you're not alone, a lot of men say the same .

Would it help if you took a break from looking for meets and just generally chatted on the forum or in the chat rooms?

OP, you have a veri from attending a swingers club. And from that veri, it sounds as if it wasn't your first time. I'd suggest putting more effort at making connections at the club, letting your personality shine through.

Post on forum threads for the events, see who else is going, try making connections that way?

Your profile comes across as quite negative and isn't very enticing.

You clearly do OK at clubs, so maybe stick with that.

I have a lot of fun with clubs in the past but I did grow disappointed with them. It would seem that it’s easy to be more anonymous guy that talks with a few people at a club than to become one of the regular faces although I am confident around groups of people.

My profile does need work if it’s being read in a negative manner although how I’m not sure?

I always send clear face and clothed full body photos but my replies normally consist of quick judgments… could it be that because I won’t send risqué messages or flash my body parts that these snap decisions are made?

Have you been going to the right clubs and often enough? Yes, we get it, club memberships and/or entry prices can be a lot. But don't expect to become a regular if you only go to a club once in a while. It takes some footwork, but also getting to know the right people and a little bit of luck (we are talking from our own experience).

Have you tried organised socials?

Fab can be a lot of hit and miss.

I have been off the club scene for a few years due to being in a vanilla relationship.

I used to love the clubs but grew tired of never having much in the way of repeat meetings. Too many times I’ve come back from a club with the feeling that I was just used were I dearly want to find someone to team up with and explore our sexuality together.

The vanilla relationships are great with the normal dating but I feel the years of going to clubs might have tailored me into having trouble with the more tame aspects of vanilla life.

I guess once you’ve indulged that you’ll crave that swinger lifestyle.

then what your looking for is even harder with so few women looking for the same ... i guess all toy can do is plug away ...but at a guess clubs will still be your best bet ....all the guys we meet regular have come from the club scene ober the last 28 years and thats 5 guys who we consider good friends with benifits ...

if your looking for a relationship that will include swinging then again it has to be clubs as its a more face to face enviroment ..even thou im not a beliver of these types of relationships as i feel you have to be in love first before the swing side but saying that some do susceed but for everyone that susceeds there are many many more that dont work

For what it's worth OP, I think your profile looks ok and just work on your opening message. It just needs to stand out from the rest of the one liners/dross/obscene messages the fill the ladies inboxes.

So read her profile, check you are what she's after and then make sure your message shows you have read it. Make it light hearted, humorous and a bit random with some appropriate compliments.

The thing is that I always do read all profiles and the verifications so that I can build an impression of what that person is like before I message.

I try to always tailor any messages paying attention to using the silly instruction words that people ask to be used as a header but alas I’m

just not photogenic and women would much rather chat to someone who’s profile is full of spunky cocks next to deodorant cans!

I think some people are under the impression that by being on here it’s going to be like being a kid in a sweet shop but really, the reality is that it’s more like trying to bash your head against a wall.

Your profile picture looks ok and interesting but then you only have one rather poor quality public picture.

A lot of attraction is with the eye so upload some decent pictures.

You state that you’re looking for regular.

That would put us off but not everyone of course.

Hard disagree on this. I often don’t even ask for pics because attitude and personality are generally what makes meets great.

Also I’m pretty sure I can say on behalf of most women, we do not want to see any cock compared to a deodorant can or tv remote or can… or anything else for that matter! lol

How about taking a break from it? You don't have to delete your profile, but you can hide it?

That poor quality public photo has got some “fabs” although mostly from guys that are hoping to find some “straight” cock….. but I’d much rather be using Fabs to meet women.

I have always thought that the best approach with photos is to send clear face and a well dressed full body photo with a message that’s respectable and straightforward.

I certainly don’t have many decent naked or topless shots nor would I send any unasked for dick pics.

I’m just wondering what I can do to tailor my messages and profile as to get some interest from the site and but I guess I’m always going to be let down by my choice of photos.

The close up

Don’t want to be one of them pushy guys but I really have tried to put lots of effort in over the years but I’m just getting nothing back.

I’ll upload some more photos as it seems that my current ones are rubbish and not selling me that well.

I’ve always struggled online as the art of the good selfie is something I’ve never been good at so I really try to make an effort with messages but it seems that for most people, it’s the visual that they first look for, even if their profile states they prefer to chat to people & actually get to know them.

Have a quick look online at how to take a selfie or another method is to take a video and then screen shot a snap where you think your look ok.

A polite message though with a face picture and something to show your body type would usually get a response from us.

Here occasionally, but mostly somewhere else

Nothing worth having should be easy...

My experience of Fab was that I had to put a lot of effort into staying in touch with people, get to as many socials as possible, and that did lead to success.

Dipping in occasionally, as I do these days, doesn't work because I don't stand out enough from the background throng of single men. I accept this, my life is different now.

OP, my suggestion is to commit to it with as much positivity as you can muster. It will be hard....but eventually it will be wet as well!

As others have said, socials (pure socials instead of attending clubs) might be a good thing for you, especially when your profile reads like you're looking for a relationship asich a swinging situation.

If you are looking for more than a swinging hook up, personally I'd suggest adding more to your profile about who you are as a person not just from a sex/swinging/kink point of view.

I'd personally drop the 3rd paragraph, you don't need to say something that you can show purely from behaviour.

Yes people don’t just drop their underwear for you…

Yes you have to invest time, have patience, have some social skills….

Yes you have to work out ways to sell yourself better and give people a reason as to why they should meet you over a.n.other

The site gives you the tools to make it work.. and gives you the avenues to explore

Everything else is on you…….

Yes, it's just another way to get to know people and have a bit of a chat/message so it's not really that hard. It's like going to the pub and having a chat (though there are more naked pics and less beer on here compared to the pub...)

Most people are not compatible with most other people, so it's realistic to have to assess, communicate with and reject very many more people than you ever decide to meet. Even if meeting, some of those won't be a match.

Your expectations have to assume this, or else they are not realistic.

You have to accept the chances of you getting a meet are almost impossible, no matter how good your profile is, though there's always that slim chance, so you just have to keep plugging away. I've had one meet in the last 12 years, so it can be done. You just have to be patient. I'll probably never get another, but I keep trying.

I'm feeling exactly the same! Probably for slightly different reasons but I find it so incredibly frustrating having to filter through all the messages and potentially genuine ones getting lost in my inbox. I do feel like persistence works. I certainly haven't got the hang of keeping up with things yet or how to work out quickly who's genuine. I think I just need to be more cautious with who I respond to rather than wasting time on people who are hear for the fantasy/wank material.

Just be yourself OP. I met quite a few ladies and couples under my old profile just by chatting and joking in the forums. I went to one social and met a lady who's become a best friend. I think it's been harder because of COVID as people haven't been wanting to meet. But things will change. Just be patient, look to make friendships and don't expect more. If more happens then great.

OP. Don't forget that the country is emerging from a Pandemic, which has caused some people to throw up their own defences to ward off anyone approaching them.

Before Covid, it could take a Single Male at least a year to get noticed, given the high numbers of Single Guys on FAB. NOW, it's far longer to achieve any success.

In my part of the UK, I've estimated that 80% of messages aren't even read let alone profiles being viewed.

Your best choice is to get to clubs or Socials in your area or if you can travel to these two elements, it will help.

Good luck.

Maybe that’s because your veri’s are from men and TVs which is at odds with you “not looking for single guys” Women can be judgemental about stuff like that. Not all women though, some will love it as those meets fulfil a fantasy of watching guys together.

As others have said, OP and anyone else struggling should go to organised socials, visit the same club regularly and chat to women and couples there. Chances are you will get veri’s and expand your circle of swinging buddies. That’s what I did and that worked for me.

Good luck chaps

I agree with this. I hate unsolicited pics being sent and will often delete a message (if it's the first) or disengage from conversation for pictures sent without asking if they are wanted/pics being demanded.

There are as many approaches and right answers as there are women on here.

. What specifically about your profile do you think would make the ladies give you a chance over the many other men that might message them? Ultimately people are looking for what you have to offer. If all you have to offer is a bundle of dirty clothes on the floor, you might not get many takers.

Your profile is just like most other single guys profiles on here. It’s all about what you want, not what you can give.

Makes you look a little selfish IMO.

Also your photos could be improved. Trying to understand what you’re actually doing in your profile pic. Plus the other public photo looks like a completely different person.

Stick at it. It’s not so much about putting the effort in, if people don’t like any aspect of your profile then they move on to the next. There are thousands of men on the site compared to ratio of women or couples.

With such a drastic ratio difference people can have multiple profiles that tick their boxes. No doubt they can then choose the best or most suited from the bunch.

Good luck.

Female friends of mine in here tell me they get overwhelmed with messages, that they can’t read them all, and it’s mostly just a random thing that catches their eye whether they read a message or not.

Always remember, in Fab, it is a bit of a lottery, but it’s not personal until you’ve been blocked

Couples and ladies get inundated with messages. My better half does. Not so much our couples one as we don't meet single men.

I have 17 veris by meet. But this is over about 8 years. My personal advice would be to send polite messages, don't jump in to sex chat straight away and include something they have in their profile so they know you have read it and a compliment is always nice. And only message those you would genuinely like to meet. Not just sending messages to everybody in your area. Just treat this as a bit of fun and not the be all and end all. Good luck.

totally agree, look at other mens profiles for ideas, if they have decent veries they doing something right. Also i prefer any dick picks should only be in friends only or even better if requested at later stage

Hi guys, Loving this thread….. Finding this hard work myself. Don’t Judge, but personally feel I would have more luck and interest seeking women in bars and clubs as I don’t count myself as bad looking and am a chatty and intelligent guy. Like the guy that started this thread. Don’t think my chat has been bad. Been pitching for socials I.e. coffee etc. Starting to disbelieve what potential the platform may actually offer……. Happy to receive constructive criticism of profile

In order to progress. Although, pls remember, like a lot of people, I wish to be discreet….

"I can't answer your question but I do know you're not alone, a lot of men say the same .

Would it help if you took a break from looking for meets and just generally chatted on the forum or in the chat rooms?"

That’s a good shout it can be a hard slog at times but being chilled about it is the best approach for your sanity lol

"I’ll upload some more photos as it seems that my current ones are rubbish and not selling me that well.

I’ve always struggled online as the art of the good selfie is something I’ve never been good at so I really try to make an effort with messages but it seems that for most people, it’s the visual that they first look for, even if their profile states they prefer to chat to people & actually get to know them. "

No new public pics op

"For what it's worth OP, I think your profile looks ok and just work on your opening message. It just needs to stand out from the rest of the one liners/dross/obscene messages the fill the ladies inboxes.

So read her profile, check you are what she's after and then make sure your message shows you have read it. Make it light hearted, humorous and a bit random with some appropriate compliments."

In theory, this sounds like great advice and should help; however, I do this all the time and it gets me nowhere. Nothing gets me anywhere. But, it's a competitive and harsh world, and even for those getting lots of fun, it comes with it's own set of challenges

This kind of behaviour is disappointing

You started a thread but didn’t go back and acknowledge one reply on there

Effort in reward out.

Work on your profile. Have enough public pictures and always send face pics with messages.

Have a profile that stands out, interesting text, hobbies and so on..

It can be hard work OP but time and effort put in = rewards out. Build an interesting and engaging profile and be active by chatting on forums, making new friends and contacts and building your social network. Took me two years to get traction on here

When Fab starts to deliver results, the hardwork really begins...more driving than usual, later nights and loads of push ups/more orgasms than normal. Shopping for club gear/fancy dress outfits is hardwork! LOL

Club entry memberships and drinks too all put a strain on the ol' finances.

I'm speaking from experience and have never had so much fun!

Fab! it's MEH when it doesn't work and WAHEY! When it finally does.

That is pretty close to my experience.
