If I come across a profile that interests me and I think he could possibly be a potential future meet I will absolutely send the first message.

I’ve found women mostly start of with like a fab or a ‘flirty wink’ but I’ve also had some just message me but fairly rare ! I’ve found couples are more forward with messages but everyone is different so very hard to say tbh haha

I'm not afraid to message anyone, but it's not necessarily down to finding them attractive.

Could be something they said in the forum, made me laugh or whatever.

I also fab pics because I like the pic, not necessarily because I fancy them.

Unfortunately their ego fails to understand this I feel....

A hell of a lot more since this lockdown started... :D

I've had more winks, fabs and opening messages on here in the last two weeks than in the last two years.

Does being on lockdown make me more attractive, or women less fussy. Hopefully find out when this is all over

If you think about the numbers at play I'm sure most dudes would think they're the only ones messaging. It's simply the care that there's way more guys here than girls.

Not getting a reply doesn’t bother me, not when it’s an initial message. The other one bothered me more, it’s a bit rubbish putting time and effort into someone only to find they’re a bit of a dick. But I suppose it’s better to get the red flags before you meet someone!

How does it confirm that? Anyway, it’s only easy to meet men if you don’t care about things like attraction and actually getting on with someone. It’s much more difficult if we want someone we actually fancy, like enough to want to spend time with, and think we’ll actually have fun with.

I’ve generally done a little better from people messaging me who I actually fancy than me messaging. When I’ve messaged first, the message either isn’t read and lost in the mass inbox or it’d gone straight to delete, so I kinda tend to wait unless I really like someone’s profile.

Couples and especially single females have a wealth of choice on these platforms, which is something that as a single male, you need to come to terms with. I don’t take a good picture facially, but seem to do very well face to face in bars etc., so I like the challenge and pretty frequent rejection of Fab when I do choose to message. There’s someone on this thread who straight deleted me, but they must get 1000’s of messages a week.

Long story short, message whoever you fancy whether male or female sending. Life’s too short.

Yes, we always receive interest, but for me about 95% of the messages I get are somewhere between pointless and disgusting. Just because I get a lot of interest doesn’t mean that equals a lot of meets. Out of the 1,000s of messages I’ve had since I joined, I’ve only chosen to meet 8 people/couples.

I’ve received opening messages from ladies and couples, and I never think twice about messaging a profile I like the look and sound of, and it appears we could be a potential match. There are so many great people to meet in here, it’s far easier to find a match than the “hard graft” an evening in a club as a single guy usually is

But you have only messaged 2! guys and you heard back from one of them. You can't compare that to a single man.

I wouldnt receive thousands of messages if I lived my life ten times over lol I think 8 meets in the 10 months since you've been here is a lot.

I know most of the attention ladies receive is unwanted attention but I stand by what I said about it being easier for women to meet men than it is for men to meet women. Especially after reading what you have written, that confirms it even more.

You seem very keen to make out that your experience on Fab is so hard and awful, but from what I’ve seen you don’t do anything to make it better for yourself.

Yes, I’ve only messaged 2 guys. Yes one of them replied. Turned out to be a demanding creep who was using 10 year old photos to look more attractive. I’d rather not get a reply at all than get one that wastes so much time.

You’ve misunderstood my point about numbers of meets as well. What I said is I’ve chosen to meet 8 out of 1,000s - some of those have turned into multiple meets, and I’ve also met people I didn’t choose myself. My point is that out of so many messages I’ve chosen to meet a tiny percentage of them. Wading through so many terrible messages to find those few people isn’t easy.

To get back to OP’s topic, part of why I don’t message first is that I don’t have time to go hunting through profiles and sending messages. I don’t rule out sending the first message in the future, but I prefer not to. It’s much harder to get rid of people when they turn out not to be what you hoped if you make the first move.

All over the place! Northwesr, , Southwest

My experience on fab has shown me three things:

1) it's easy for a single guy to stand out from the crowd and be noticed. If enough effort is put into his profile, he's respectful and he transmits a good vibe when he speaks to someone the future is bright with promise.

2) the 5-10% of men who stand out will find it easier to meet the women they fancy as opposed to the opposite side of the coin. Since they're rare, they will be in demand.

3) the vast majority of women here have higher standards than the average guy here. The men who stand out will tick their boxes and may be the subject of some "competition" among the interested parties.

So in effect, women find it far easier to meet for sex without standards, but will find quality meets more difficult to come by than the men who stand out.

I have a single women messaged me, probably more couples though. Although I do feel on here men Definatley are expected to message first. But if you had 500 messages day would you bother searching lool

"This thread confirms to me how easy it is for women to meet men and yet some women say its difficult.

How does it confirm that? Anyway, it’s only easy to meet men if you don’t care about things like attraction and actually getting on with someone. It’s much more difficult if we want someone we actually fancy, like enough to want to spend time with, and think we’ll actually have fun with.

Surely you have more chance of finding that than a single man.

Probably, yes, but I still don’t see how this thread confirms that it’s easy for us. If you think it’s easier for us when we message first, it might be for some but for me, I have a 100% failure rate when I’ve messaged first - not so different to a single guy.

It is easier if you message first or never. A woman will always recieve interest. I don't know what you don't get here. It's a no brainer lol.

How many men have you messaged?

You’re a bit rude, aren’t you. You originally stated that *this thread* confirms how easy it is for women, but you haven’t explained in spite of me asking *how* this specific thread confirms that. Yes, we always receive interest, but for me about 95% of the messages I get are somewhere between pointless and disgusting. Just because I get a lot of interest doesn’t mean that equals a lot of meets. Out of the 1,000s of messages I’ve had since I joined, I’ve only chosen to meet 8 people/couples.

As for how many men I’ve messaged, I said that earlier in the thread.

I'm not rude. That's just my opinion from reading through the thread.

You said you have a 100% failure rate when you have messaged first.

"not so different to a single guy"

But you have only messaged 2! guys and you heard back from one of them. You can't compare that to a single man.

You also said..

"Out of the 1,000s of messages I’ve had since I joined, I’ve only chosen to meet 8 people/couples"

I wouldnt receive thousands of messages if I lived my life ten times over lol I think 8 meets in the 10 months since you've been here is a lot.

I know most of the attention ladies receive is unwanted attention but I stand by what I said about it being easier for women to meet men than it is for men to meet women. Especially after reading what you have written, that confirms it even more.

Believe whatever you like. You clearly have a chip on your shoulder, but whether it’s about women on Fab generally or me in particular I have no idea.

No chips here and I have nothing against anyone. I was just saying it how I see it and I didn't misunderstand your point about number of meets.

If I see a profile that interests me, with photos I'm attracted to, and someone who is looking for the same things as me, then yes I'd definitely message first.

And I always prefer to message single men and couples first if I'm interested, rather than being drowned in messages from people who haven't bothered to read my profile and would rather just try their luck

As I'm only here out of curiosity, i didn't feel it my place to message anyone but did message one who looked ridiculously hot and I thought can't be real!

Mostly gets loads of messages but just chat to those who can converse properly and don't use the term 'lol' which already factors out 85%.

Says the faceless profile, not sure you can really complain about the standard of message and conversation you receive, given your profile.. those in glass houses

I'm not complaining at all. I actually get quite a few messages and I'm happy to share pics early on if there is a click. 'Lol' is just one thing that gets on my wick.
