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

Hey! I've been on her for a few months now and really struggling to meet people. I am genuine and struggling to show people that I am!

I've been sending messages like this 'Hey! I'm sure you've had a million messages for guys asking you the same thing, but I've got to ask...... would you like to meet up for a drink or to play? Hope to hear back James'

Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong please?

Thanks for your time!

James

Hi op

Asking people if the want to meet or play in a first message prob won't help.

The recipient doesnt know you so cant say yes at that point.

Best advice i can give,is read a profile fully and make sure you onclude something in the message to indicate you"ve read it.

Try and message those who requirements you meey and get tk know them first

Miss

then I would assume there is no attraction and move on.

We always tend to reply to single men who put effort into a message, showing they have read our profile and ask things about us, big NO NO for grace is if the first message contains anything suggestive or willy pics as some ladies like there brain stimulated first

I always try to include something talking about something in their profile, preferably non sexual and always make sure the title of the message relates to their profile in some way too, as it needs to stand out as single women get loads of messages. I also always attach face and body pics so they can make their mind up. I pretty much always get a reply, even if it's a polite no thanks.

loads of guys are struggling with the same thing. you're probably not doing anything that much wrong, the internet is just like that and makes experiences a lot shallower than real life.

it's the school holidays so that won't help as less people are able to meet.

Address the couples by their names or initials or even their site name. It is more likely to get a response.

Always include face pics. Be realistic about your chances, if they look out of your league then they are.

You've answered your own question as to why you are struggling. They already had a million other guys asking them if they would like to meet. So no you're not doing anything wrong, you're just not standard out above a million other guys.

Haha. If they look out your league they are. I'm sorry that's bs PMSL. How do you know what their type is before he even knows. Scrap that comment mate. Go for who you like. If they say no then they say no. What's the worst that could happen?

I don't think I've ever sent the same message twice. Each message is carefully constructed to emphasise my understanding of a woman/couples preferences and show a little humour as well as what I bring to the table. I don't get heaps of replies however I do speak to a few people almost daily. That being said I would ensure your mail shows it's purely written to their profile and not generic. Also make sure your own bio supports your statements, if your bio says women between say 25-30 and you aren't into mmf for example. Then messaging a couple in their fourties probably wont get you a response.

If you expect to be knee deep in vag after a few months then your showing inexperience. Something youll need here. The other thing youll need is patience. And a LOT of it. I call it the the curse of the single male. Hit the chat rooms. Your local area room. And get to know the regulars. Dont jump in with "oh your gorgeous" type lines. Just say hi. This is a social networking site. To be a successful single guy here takes a imperial ton of patience. Networking. Getting to know people and politeness. And above all originality.there are literally thousands of single guys here who just wank on cam thinking chat is basically omegle. Thousands who think any single lady or cple just want to fuck anything at the drop of a hat. It dont work that way. Its like forming a proper romantic relationship. It takes effort and time. And money sometimes too. Clubs are expensive for single blokes. This is to out the genuine from the wank o cam guys.

In short. Welcome to being a single guy on fab. Its just the way it is.

Hard fucking slog. But ultimately worth it.

I disagree, even when I am not in mood for chatting I still try , say hello, smile, no1 is going to fuck you if you have a face like a slapped arse.

Also if it is a social, spend time looking at people and interests of others going on topics other than sex. It does help

Go to a social, talk to people, don't aim to play right away, get to know people. Attend a club and get the open minded and ready not to play; coming off as someone who just hunts isn't exactly end endearing.

Swinging is as much about networking as it is about fun itself.

People who just want a fuck and go are actually quite rare; meet people and be respectful.

I'm new here bu in this site but in real life I've seen that social interaction goes a long way.

Best of luck

I think you have to have more than one message in your arsenal. That one may work occasionally, but it needs to match the profile.

A lot of messages I receive are very like yours, and I'm sure many of them are from lovely people, but to stand out in the 100 messages a day you need to say something different, pique my interest, make a funny comment, ask me something interesting... I dunno... its difficult....

If a couple, better to address the man or both, but not the lady only, if you chose to follow the advice above.

When we get messages, even on the rare occasion when we allow blokes to get in touch, our effort to reply is virtually zero if they didn't take the time and effort to read our profile.

Their message reflects that.

Many a time I've looked at a profile and pictures (mainly just cocks) and thought no not for me. I recently went to a tea party and was well and truly wrong about not liking them. Socials are about networking and having fun. Hopefully enabling a hook up at a later date!

Nevermind that face pic nonsense. They wouldn't do it so why should you. If every guy stopped sending face pics at the drop of a hat, believe me the women and couples in here would soon stop getting ideas above their stations

One thing I've found out through talking to plenty of couples or single females is that a lot of men come off way too aggressive.

Even if a woman is looking for a dominant man, that doesn't mean that's our first message should be, "you're my slut" or "you wanna be my slave"

You don't come off as assertive. You come off as a douche!!
