Just a gripe to get off my chest. I can't write what I really want to write.
Almost entirely we ignore very short messages with virtually no words from single men. Today I received one and decided to be nice by thanking him for his compliment.
He went on to demonstrate he either hasn't read or hasn't understood any of our profile.
This is why we never reply to these short messages. It has never been productive. I really should learn.
Gripe over.
As you were. |

Maybe place your stance on singly Men at the beginning of your profile, rather than at the end.
It should help at least limit those messages.
If we're asked any questions where the answer is already in our profile, (and we're quite specific just now), then we'll reply with ...... We're very short on spare time, hence why we have such s detailed profile, you'll find all you need to know there.

We get stupid messages where they clearly havent read the profile and it shows! We tend to delete but we do get the odd one that you can tell thought has gone in to the message and they have read the profile. When we can see they have read the profile even if they arent what we arenlooking for we try to reply out of curtesy as they took the time to read and write a message only fair we do the same  |

95% of all messages we receive are pointless, few words, or only directed at Mrs as though it’s a single profile. I very much doubt most of those people read our profile. Which I don’t really understand. Obviously images are great to see if there’s a possible attraction but we also read a profile. It tells u what that person is about, their wants etc. Why on earth would u not read it ? Or are people reading it and then ignoring what they’ve read ? |

Is it possible that the 95% of messages aimed solely at the female has anything to do with the fact that 86.5% (5 out of 37) of your photos only show the Mrs or another female? |

Would the fact it’s a couples profile and the subsequent text accompanying it not be a clue we are a couple ? Actually no your comment confirms that most single guys fail to read |

"The 5 out of 37 refer to the non female pix above before anyone gets smart "
Mate if my Mrs looked as good as his I wouldn't put any pics of my ugly mug on, I'm just happy he is willing to share the pics. |

That’s exactly what we do. Any decent message get a reply, even if it's a no thanks. Even just banter is fine. I've had conversations about music with people we wouldn't expect to meet and it's all good.
I'm just rolling my eyes at myself for responding to this message given where it went. |

Actually I did read your profile and your message - and I am not trying to have a go. Just pointing out an alternative hypothesis and related data points.
Strangely, I do actually understand the OPs (and your) predicament as I get a lot of stupid short messages from couples as well |

Applauding your post and your gripe. Your profile is very well written and clearly articulates the kind of person/people you are both looking to meet with. Its clear that you are not currently looking to meet with single men. We may have similar interests and out looks, but if we met outside of Fab, I wouldn't exspect an invite into your bed.
Profiles are written for a purpose and should be respected.

But, isn't the issue the fact guys didn't read your profile rather than they write short messages? I don't why the length of the message correlates with a better understanding of your profile. |
