Have you gone to organised socials? Gone to clubs? |

Effort in = rewards out. There's plenty of existing threads offering advice and plenty on my profile should you wish to use it. Since you haven't asked for advice or can't be given. Good luck, hope you find what you are looking for.  |

Why do women and couples say this all the time when they have no idea what the experience is like for men?
You can put as much effort in as you like but given the gender balance on here there is a very good chance of your message being ignored or mass deleted. |

For you single men it's generally tough, as you will quickly notice when you scan through the high volume of similar posts from others every week. The right effort gets improved potential for positive results but everyone looking has their own tastes and preferences.
The usual tactics to improve results are to ensure your profile really sells you well. Get to socials and possibly clubs. |

You’ve been on 7 days, already cam verified. Effort in does equal rewards out. There are people here months who can’t even get cam verification by others. But when you read these posts and the women’s replies all the time, you can see that it’s accurate. Effort in writing a good profile, having at least one good photo, sending messages that are tailored to the person you’re approaching, that does pay off as also shared by numerous men who do have success in meets. Lots of guys just send cock pics and a brief chat up line. Then think they worked hard because they copy and pasted it to 50 people. Then post in frustration. I get it’s hard, single men are more than happy to share this, but the person you replied to wasn’t mean, didn’t do anything but offer help as the rules don’t allow comment on profile without someone specifically asking. Most don’t even want to put the effort into just having a profile pic or words in profile. They think that they should be buried in women for signing up. |

It’s not that there’s something wrong. So many men are in the same boat. Hope it gets easier! Definitely take Ms Wood’s advice and maybe also try to get to an organised event. It isn’t easy xx good luck! |

I didn't mean to give the impression that she was being mean. It's just that sometimes people are accused of being lazy or not putting effort into their profile or messages when there's a whole load of other reasons why they might not be getting replies.
This isn't a moan, just want others to be aware that they might be ignored and it isn't their fault so they shouldn't be too disheartened.  |

The only people on here that can get meets within the first couple of weeks are women. We are vastly outnumbered. We are bombarded with messages (unless our filters are on.)
We are very selective and we like to be entertained and amused by you in a non sexual manner initially. |

"I don't understand why women don't put filters on IF deleting massively!
I thought people were fussy!!  "
Because "I'm getting sooo many messages, mass deleting!" makes for a good status  |

Guys. Really get yourselves to clubs and socials. Once you’re no longer an unknown quandary it’ll get easier. But being on here, sex will not come knocking at your door. |

To be honest your profile could do with some work. To be blunt it comes off a bit like you’ve not got a clue what you’re doing here but for some reason are a bit bitter about it... I’d do some work on that and get yourself to a club to mingle a bit. |

You can take all the good advice in the world, but unless you have the body of a young Brad Pitt, the intelligence of Stephen Hawkins and the cutting wit of..I don't know, someone very witty, this site is absolutely useless for single males. You're better off on POF. |

I'm new and not had a problem. I did pluck up the courage to go to a club alone though and that gave me a massive confidence boost. One of my veris is from a lovely couple at the club. The other one is from the one and only couple I met on here. The hidden ones are from a a young lady who winked at me and then cammed with me.I don't know maybe I'm just lucky. |

Do men have any experience of what it's like having a single females profile? To be honest, I'm on the verge of blocking all single men again. I spend a lot of my time here giving advice, in fact, most of my profile is based on that. Quite frankly, I don't know why I bother as some can't be helped.  |

I'm in the same boat. I'm not doing the boring hi how are you messages I'm sending messages with effort in which makes people want to message back but still get nothing back. Starting to think it's my looks. Puts people down with no replies especially if there's effort in the message. |

Yes I agree, I've been here a while and sent many messages with zero response, nothing vulgar or abusive, just normal, convo starters, can't seem to get anywhere??

If being on here and dogging are your only options. You're going be stuck. Like others have said, social gatherings, clubs. Worth searching in the forums to see what's available in your area x
Good luck x |

All of us who do quite well on here are telling you to get out there and you ignore it and just keep sending boring messages from boring profiles. Put some effort in and do something. If you aren’t going to bother venturing out. Go use tinder. This isn’t for you. |

Definitely agree on getting yourself out and about to start. I've been on here for three months. Started with a couple of clubs, got chatting and things have gone great from there. Have met some wonderful people.
I get knocked back plenty but you have to understand we are all looking for different things. No drama required. I'm a middle aged man with a dad bod but I am really enjoying the FAB experience. Better than I ever imagined.
The point of me saying this? It's to the OP and others who aren't meeting people that the advice people give on this thread has worked for me. Just be true to yourself people can see when you try to be something your not when messaging. When you agree to meet actually turn up...that'll put you ahead of lots of single men!
Perhaps take it on board, particularly about your profile content and see what happens!! |

I say this a lot, but I've had the experience of being a single male on here for years before I got together with P on my Bliss By Mouth singles profile which I'm on much less now obviously. I put the effort into it and meeting people early on and from my own experience I found being a single bloke on here an absolute breeze which I believe was mostly because of that.
Replying to 20 odd messages a day when much more active on it is easier than running a couples profile, with the amount of mail to get through and personally I'd hate to be a single woman on here most of all as with working hours and fatherhood etc I'd never have the time to do so.

Just to reinforce what ED says above. I know several men who maintain they have more success on Fab than Tinder and dating sites. They’re sociable, fun company, like to meet people, relaxed if it doesn’t work out and go to socials and clubs to make themselves known to people. Some of them may contribute here or may have contributed to your previous post on the subject. I’m not sure you’ll get any different answers than those you got 4 days ago. |

And if you put in no effort, that good chance becomes an even bigger chance of being ignored or deleted. |

This, or 'get yourself to a social' when that is completely impractical for some people. Don't forget, single males also have to put themselves out there first, as most women don't have profile pics of their face. There may be good reason for this, but it doesn't change the validity of the point.
The only thing I really agree with is that those are the rules of the site.
I closed my male profile. It's easier for me to just go out on the town if I want to meet a single female. |

Hey chin up mate been on here 3 times previously with good success. No matter how much effort you put in msg's unlikely to get reply unless you appeal to them especially from single females
**** Will say though a simple NO THANKS would go a long way to make you not so disillusioned |
