"How many messages do you send out to the amount of meetings you have?
Just curious as i very seldom get sent any messages at all."
As a single guy, you're almost certainly not going to get unsolicited messages. Can't give profile advice as you've not asked for it, but couples and single women don't have to message single guys as they are inundated with requests already.
And as a guide - we do one meet each week generally. Half with regular guys. So we need maybe two, three new guys each month. With just ten guys messaging us each day (and it's often 30 or 40) that's 300 each month and we want three....just 1% are likely to go anywhere. |

If go by probability formula, it should be 10:1 (1 is response not meet though)  |

I find it hard as well, I get an inbox full every day however 99% of those aren't suitable and of the 1%, 3/4 come to nothing.
So even with a full inbox, I hardly get meets..
Now, I am fussy and I don't see the point of meeting someone I'm not attracted to, which causes the ratio to plummet considerably..
Keep on keeping on.. go to clubs (if you can) and be active on the forums. It all helps.
Good luck!  |

We message alot more than we meet. We've got kids and nobody to babysit so our free time is rare, theres so much pressure on finding someone for those free moments that it ends up being a huge let down and we rarely meet anyone now, especially as I want a social first not just a quickie and then never see them again which is what most people want. |

For every dozen messages I send, two or three will end in a conversation.
For every ten conversations, one or two will result in a social.
For every five socials, one will go further.
Using those maths it would take between 100 and 300 approaches to get anywhere.
I'm glad I get approached as well as doing the approaching! |

Really interesting and not so surprising!
I'm loving the maths!
I would suspect that you meet more than many, and having 3 new spaces on your dance card each month is likely to be quite high generally I would have thought!
But going with your more likely numbers of 30 msgs per day, that means there is a 0.33% chance of a meet, from the 900 messages each month. (that's a bugger load of Fabmin)
And some guys might think, right, more messages the greater chance of getting a meet! 300bmessagrs a month should guarantee 1 positive reply... But unfortunately this doesn't stack up, because 300 shit messages still means 300 insta-deletes!
I feel your pain guys! And thanks for the insight! |

Your profile is really well written to the point that it’s possibly one of the best bio’s I’ve ever seen on a hook up or dating site. It’s light hearted yet still so informative that it keeps the reader interested in checking out the photos.
I don’t think I could manage to pull out something at captivating as that but honestly if the bio is anything to go by, you’re a couple that should have an inbox full of messages. |
