Hello OP,
Consider how you approach people, don't just write 'Hi', 'Fancy a chat' or any other generic one liner, It WILL get you ignored. Messaging like that doesn't work on Fab like it does with instant messaging services. Can you imagine writing Hi, waiting three days and then getting a msg back saying hi, to which you reply how are you and have to wait another three or four days for a reply? Read profiles and discover some common ground to write about. Never be so crude as to send messages like 'Hey im free monday. Wanna come to my place and let me use that pussy?' You wouldn't say that sort of thing in person, so don't say it online.
Now, providing you have sent a message that will entice them to look further they will 99% of the time look at your profile before responding. So now you have to sell yourself. You've had four months to fill out your profile, but it still doesn't leap out of the screen at prospective meets. To sum it up your profile says very little about you and is unlikely to appeal to many, if any.
We accept that we are outside of your preferences and therefore our opinion might not matter to you, however as a couple that do meet guys of your age, one look at your profile would put us off from looking any further. Sadly, it is bland and doesn't stand out. It shows that you have taken no time whatsoever to use your profile to make a positive impression. Nobody knows you as well as you know you, and if you have nothing to say about yourself it could be interpreted as there is nothing worth saying about you. That's probably not true, but would you start a conversation in person with someone if you thought you would only get single word answers because they have nothing to say?
Write something about you, what you have to offer, what your limits are etc. Basically - make people interested in you. As a single guy you are already fighting an uphill battle. That doesn't mean you won't have any luck, but you really need to look at your profile, so as to ensure you make the best possible first impression which may help elicit replies.
Dick pics are not the way to promote yourself, especially not as a profile pic if your trying to show your maturity. Everyone knows what a dick looks like, and believe it or not very few people actually want to look at row upon row of cocks when they look at a profile page and if someone really wants to see it they will ask. Smiling face pics are invaluable. Next time it's a lovely day, get out and take some selfies somewhere nice; you can always blur your face out if you are uncomfortable showing it.
However your profile is not everything. Getting involved with the forums and the chatroom are both great ways of getting to know people with no pressure and no first time nerves. Rather than relying on a message, show your maturity and join in conversations, you never know someone might take an interest.
You could also get off the site and meet people socially by signing up to an organised social, where you may meet many people from the area, and perhaps make a better impression face to face than via the Internet. It might be a little nerve wracking the first time, but what harm can having a coffee or a pint with a stranger really do?
Some will give you a chance, some won't, but we wish you luck |
