Admittedly we have a lot to read on our profile but you could find out a lot about what we're looking for before you message.
The amount of messages we get with words like "how are you" or "hi" or "nice boobs" and many more effortless comments.
We would love to here from guys that have read our profile and would really like to chat with us because if there's no connection it's not going anywhere and we know there's some lovely people on FAB.
Not really having a rant honest.
I'm sure there's others on here that feel the same. X |

"Because they can't wank and read at the same time."
It's true. Took me forty-five minutes to type this out while I whacking off to Countdown at the same time.

More Men on the site so you will get more that don’t read profiles properly, Some Women and couples don’t read them as well |

Most seem to read ours tbh, and it's fairly long.
We're not too fussed about someone's first message either, as long as it's legible, it's initially all about physical attraction.

Yep...everyone's guilty... I am filtered to the hilt... still get the odd msg (when I remove them for forum games) from ladies and couples who refuse to read  |
Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
I read profiles before messaging because so many state "no beard" or "must be bi" or such and I feel stupid if I get caught out and message anyway.
Also many couples and women hide a title phrase that needs to be included, non adherence usually ends in immediately being blocked.
A lot of profiles are tediously long-winded though.

Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
I always read profiles to see if the person is compatible to me. I have a base message that I adapt if there is something that is relevant to add or remove. If the profile is blank or low effort then I send it as is as it’s pretty long. I used to spend ages sculpting the perfect message to be ignored so I use a default ice breaker to get the same response. |

I think the clientele is getting younger and in the world of available porn they think sex is magically instantaneous with a picture of a dick.
Walking the canal today I walked past two elderley teens. One said; that lass on the canal boat was gorgeous. I'd love to stick my penis in her arse.
This is the world we live in.
It's sad, destructive and of little value to anyone. I'm just glad I fell in love prior to the internet being successful. Bring back CD rhom.  |

Probably because of the exact same reasons why couples and women don't read them also I'd say. It's not just men who don't. |

Somewhere off the edge of the map... 'ere there be monsters |
If I were to guess... I'd say it's because to a lot of guys, this is seen simply as a hook-up / fuck site. And it's also (to them) a numbers game. Now here's the important part... the amount of women on here for the exact same thing / same standards, while probably miniscule, only has to work for them once or twice in order to reinforce the behaviour. Now they know; throw enough shit at the wall and eventually some of it will stick.
Like, that MUST be it, right? Otherwise this behaviour would have died out long ago if there was truly zero success / results for it.
This is coming from someone who has never, nor will ever, play said numbers game, however. So I may be completely, utterly wrong on the matter.  |

Profile-reading and message-writing are just pathetic ways of wasting time.
Either she fancies a fuck, or she doesn’t – simple!
Answer: “No”, or her address!
You’d be surprised how many women do, if you ask them at the right time of the evening.

Because there are large number of people who are convinced that they personally are so special that they are the exception to every rule, and can just do whatever the fuck they want.
Unfortunately, in addition to harassing women on Fab, there are also currently quite a few of them running the country. |
Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
The issue is simply because people request personalised, well written long winded introductions which 99.9999% of the time, will just end up being ignored. A simple hi would suite us down to the T, because we would look at the profile and then decide to engage in conversation, depending on the conversation and the ability to continue it, we would then decide or not if that individual was for us. Fab should have a like button and you can only message someone if they like you back, people always mention the 5 seconds first impression and a pic would do that. happy fabbing |

If it's obvious no reading has taken place straight delete, if we have zero interest in the profile straight delete. Harsh we know but that's how it's developed, not dealing with the whys or follow ups, fab's much easier to manage now and we don't have to ask ourselves that question any more, op. |

Would be nice but most, not all got "XX" as their descpriton, others 8inch only and so so on well ladies here should write to administration to restrict messaging to them if their dicks is not long like an elephant nose ?????? that would solve half of the problems 2nd part with skin color - ah that's not rant just harsh reality and some of sarcasm with tone of realism on this site ps.

It's a tricky one. I always read profiles, but then I always try to start a chat the same way I would in person - with an introduction and asking them how their day is going. It can come across like I've not read the profile, but anything else just feels unnatural.
If I read a profile and know I'm not what they're looking for, I just don't message |

Look at it this way.
It's a good thing that some people don't read profiles.
Any halfway decent human should have at least a basic grasp of how to communicate with other humans - and if they don't, you want to know RIGHT NOW - not later.
So a shitty didn't-read-the-profile message is in fact a godsend - because that person has done you the courtesy of telling you right upfront, in no uncertain terms - that you absolutely do not want to communicate with them, let alone meet them.
What a wonderful timesaver for you!
You could never accuse someone like that of being a timewaster right?
This is why I despair at people who write long laundry lists of dos and don'ts on their profiles (fair enough if you have very specific requirements - I'm talking obvious stuff like "don't send me 17 pictures of your cock and no face")
Why on earth would anyone hand a dickhead and instruction manual on how to fly under your dickhead radar?
Makes no sense

To be honest, us men have a rough ride on Fab and that's nobody's fault really.
Make effort, get no response. So you start to make less effort. Its natural.
Also I hate it when there is a word that you have to take from the profile and put in the subject of a message. I always mean to but 99% of the time forget to. |

I have ranted on my profile before. Getting dozens of dick pics a day got on my nerves. The crass messages. That's why people write their profiles like that - it's a reaction. An understandable one, but not effective or helpful in the long run. |

Tbf I think it's because "most" men, don't want to have to graft to get something they want and feel pretty entitled to receiving it! I always read the profile to the little details but even then its a struggle to find someone up here due to sheer numbers of M to F ratio, us lad that do often don't tick boxes or are over looked but that's more than understandable and I never take it personally.  |

I do get that, but it's very off putting. They make it seem like you're going for a job interview and should be highly honoured if they so much as give you the time of day. The fact is the vast male / female imbalance on here caused frustration on both sides. |

I rarely read profiles but then again I don't send messages so one doesn't have any effect on the other.
I haven't read all of this thread either but I'm sure there are no surprises on it as it's been discussed before.
Every conversation I've had in the last two years has been initiated by women.
For each and every one of those conversations there have been twice as many hi, hru, nice pics, phone number now messages from other women.
These are not new accounts and are all very well verified and often prominent forumites so the not reading profile finger can be pointed in their direction too.
When it all comes down to it though the people who most rants or observations or instruction manuals are aimed at don't use the forums and for the few that do they aren't going to take advice given here if they can't even read a profile. |
Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
Us male profiles are also a victim of other men not bothering to read what's in our bios. (E.g. "couples" contacting us)
Or maybe intentionally ignoring in order to force their own narrative  |

I'm finding the same issue with couples on my single profile.
The tag line states only looking for women. The first paragraph states will only meet women. If wanting to meet a a couple to message the couple profile.
Today alone I've had 4 messages from couples asking what I'm looking for. I generally answer and say women only then they disappear.
It's frustrating but hey, after years on here, I've come to accept it. |

I read the profile and to be honest just read a lot of statements and wants/not wants so I’d argue there is nothing to provoke a meaningful conversation start. I think this is a common issue with profiles. It’s not actually a direct criticism but I often don’t see a starting point so I guess how are you? Is an invitation to chat if the senders profile is of interest. |

I do think a lot of the issues come from the fact that there are alot of people joining who maybe don’t actually understand the lifestyle and just think this is like Tinder or PoF
And somehow think that a quick one liner and a pic of their cock is all they need for you to suddenly want to jump their bones lol

It confuses me too. If I'm going to send someone a message, it is because I think that they are what I'm looking for & I match their needs too. It makes sense to indicate in my message the bits in their profile attracted me too them & the things that make me "what they're looking for"... or am I just over thinking things?

I’m not sure if this is sarcasm or not so I’m going to assume it is for a second but you’re not actually far off. I read everyone’s profile when I think of sending a message if there profile has something that is worth responding to I will right a nice custom message to it. If it’s just someone moaning about something or a blank profile they get my standard ice breaker. Of the last 50 messages I’ve sent 30 are currently unread the other 19 were read and not responded to or flat deleted. 1 got a response to as to say that my copy and paste message was read and deleted and I got blocked. Maybe deep down I’m just not attractive enough and I have a false self worth but I do invest my time to try and get to know people and it feels like im wasting my time |

Can't women instigate conversations? See how good you are at starting one with a complete stranger. I normally kick off with a simple "Hi", it's how I'd greet someone in real life. Obviously that's not good enough, my opening messaging efforts are at their bare minimal. |

A smidge of sarcasm but mostly truth.
You are attractive. Some will fancy you and some won't.
Some will have had a shitload of crappy messages and be in a bad mood and delete yours ... because red mist.

You can spend 10 minutes writing some long winded message, and get exactly the same response as a simple "Hi", message deleted. Hence why I've given up on putting any effort in. |

Yes. I instigate conversations. It's not rocket science. If you know that a woman is likely to have dozens of messages a day and all you write is "Hi" I don't have a lot of sympathy. |

Anyone who's been on bumble knows most women can not instigate conversations beyond the "hi, how are you", the same level of message that gets men mocked anywhere else.
However I do completely understand why most men don't bother reading the profiles - the cost return ratio is abysmal. You can spend all day reading profiles and writing well thought out messages but they're almost certain to get deleted / ignored.

There honesly isnt much you can do beyond a straight forward profile with clear pics. Messages are mostly not read so the content is irrelevant. There's so much luck involved. Its more a lottery than anything personal. Similar sortof odds too.
All my meets where from couples messaging me first. Always brief one liners too ironically.
Timing is more important. After 10 pm forget it . Load photos up between 6pm and 8pm and see if you get any interest. Think of it like fishing.
Also , dont ask for help as you will get some folks crtisising you for moaning. |

There's no magic formula but after more than a decade on here here's my 2p's worth.
If a profile is too long most won't read it and if they do they'll speed read and possibly miss important stuff. The more specifics you put in the less likely anyone will remember to read them all.
A two line profile won't be looked at either. Keep it short and sweet and to the point. Much like any decent advert, because that's what it is.
If you put too many photos in then some will just get caught up browsing them and forget the words you've typed. As long as people can clearly see what your bodies look like (clothed and unclothed preferably) then that's your ideal start point - face pics in public are a personal choice.
And if couples and single women get pissed off due to the quality of messages they're receiving? Change your behaviour, block incoming messages for a while, do the hunting yourselves and send your own opening messages. That way you can guarantee everyone you message is someone you may well be attracted to and interested in.
Stop waiting for people to find you. It's lazy.

Absolutely. These, thankfully, rare, ones are much more annoying.
I'm not looking to meet men, one chap had the gall to tell me that women don't know what they want, so it was worth messaging, as most change their mind.
Seriously! I'm 48 years old and bloody well do know what I want, as do the vast majority of other ladies on the site.  |

I personally, do my best to keep the messages relative to their bio and I say a little about me, but I personally find it tricky sometimes to be creative with the messages. I do tend to say hello or how are you? Because for me, if they respond it means they are interested but also it helps me to build rapport and a connection with them.
I'm not great with conversation if I don't have much to go off apart from their bio stuff. I am thinking of going to some clubs though as you then get to see people in person. I just find it tricky sometimes to make conversation on here if others aren't as open to chatting as I. |

"Look at it this way.
It's a good thing that some people don't read profiles.
Any halfway decent human should have at least a basic grasp of how to communicate with other humans - and if they don't, you want to know RIGHT NOW - not later.
So a shitty didn't-read-the-profile message is in fact a godsend - because that person has done you the courtesy of telling you right upfront, in no uncertain terms - that you absolutely do not want to communicate with them, let alone meet them.
What a wonderful timesaver for you!
You could never accuse someone like that of being a timewaster right?
This is why I despair at people who write long laundry lists of dos and don'ts on their profiles (fair enough if you have very specific requirements - I'm talking obvious stuff like "don't send me 17 pictures of your cock and no face")
Why on earth would anyone hand a dickhead and instruction manual on how to fly under your dickhead radar?

I can't see that you've done a "check my profile" thread, but I'd say the big issue might be if you're married (can see a wedding ring) but you're not clear about it. i did one a year ago but got shouted down so left it. Did you read the whole profile it’s the last thing on it."
You don't say you're married. You just say you're in a couple. Not clear if she's ok with it or you're cheating. |

"There's no magic formula but after more than a decade on here here's my 2p's worth.
If a profile is too long most won't read it and if they do they'll speed read and possibly miss important stuff. The more specifics you put in the less likely anyone will remember to read them all.
A two line profile won't be looked at either. Keep it short and sweet and to the point. Much like any decent advert, because that's what it is.
If you put too many photos in then some will just get caught up browsing them and forget the words you've typed. As long as people can clearly see what your bodies look like (clothed and unclothed preferably) then that's your ideal start point - face pics in public are a personal choice.
And if couples and single women get pissed off due to the quality of messages they're receiving? Change your behaviour, block incoming messages for a while, do the hunting yourselves and send your own opening messages. That way you can guarantee everyone you message is someone you may well be attracted to and interested in.
Stop waiting for people to find you. It's lazy.

I think if people are going to bother to message me off their own bat, they can read my profile. If it takes them longer than two seconds to read it and they get the hump - I don't GAF. I'm not bothered in the least. I message men too. And I read their profiles. It's no effort at all. I don't block men because I like to join in the forum games etc. If people think it's lazy, I also don't GAF because I am here for me and no-one else. |

"Why bother reading profiles or writing a decent message. Most women and couples delete it anyway.
I’m not sure if this is sarcasm or not so I’m going to assume it is for a second but you’re not actually far off. I read everyone’s profile when I think of sending a message if there profile has something that is worth responding to I will right a nice custom message to it. If it’s just someone moaning about something or a blank profile they get my standard ice breaker. Of the last 50 messages I’ve sent 30 are currently unread the other 19 were read and not responded to or flat deleted. 1 got a response to as to say that my copy and paste message was read and deleted and I got blocked. Maybe deep down I’m just not attractive enough and I have a false self worth but I do invest my time to try and get to know people and it feels like im wasting my time

Ok I’ll make it clearer but i though that it’s our couples profile where we are together. |

"Look at it this way.
It's a good thing that some people don't read profiles.
Any halfway decent human should have at least a basic grasp of how to communicate with other humans - and if they don't, you want to know RIGHT NOW - not later.
So a shitty didn't-read-the-profile message is in fact a godsend - because that person has done you the courtesy of telling you right upfront, in no uncertain terms - that you absolutely do not want to communicate with them, let alone meet them.
What a wonderful timesaver for you!
You could never accuse someone like that of being a timewaster right?
This is why I despair at people who write long laundry lists of dos and don'ts on their profiles (fair enough if you have very specific requirements - I'm talking obvious stuff like "don't send me 17 pictures of your cock and no face")
Why on earth would anyone hand a dickhead and instruction manual on how to fly under your dickhead radar?
Makes no sense

I apologise on behalf of my fellow man on here! Being a single guy on here sucks as there are so many clowns that ruin it for the rest of us! Ladies, I can only imagine how frustrating it just be, but some of us are good eggs I promise..! |
Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
As a single guy on here who has been here for 18 months and only managed to meet max 4/5 people and almost all of them were for coffee only. I can honestly say. Ive sent maybe 100s of messages if not 1000s I did try to personalise them whether it was to a single female or a couple but you so rarely get a reply it becomes so monotonous reading profiles which are all so similar especially if you’ve just read 10 previous before they get to yours. I appreciate this is really hard for everyone but it’s a nightmare for single guys. |
Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
I think a lot of people on here including woman and couples don't bother to read. The amount of friend requests I get from single woman and couples is unbelievable and yet it states in my profile that I don't accept random friend invites. |
Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
I'm probably one of the few guys that always reads the profile before messaging. Sadly the amount that dont read make it hard for genuine guys |
Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
Judging by your profile picture, they won't be able to read your profile after seeing your pictures. |

Most of us will read profiles. Unfortunately, some will ignore it and chance their luck anyway.
Whether we read profiles or not, it doesn't affect our one in a million chance of actually getting a reply :D |

With me there's alot on here who are just more interested in bigging themselves up and creating a profile of crap, Sorry but get an Instagram account instead.
Women that don't do meets or chats, only speak to site supporters and the famous "not meeting at the moment but make themselves out to be lady marmalade on their profile

I always read profiles.
First I look at photos to see if there is a attraction otherwise no point reading , then I read and try to see what are the likes/dislikes wants and not wants
if is a short read and not much give away I try to be polite and introduce myself and say what made me contact them . a d I always make sure to mention that if they read the message doesn't mean we have to meet and fuck lol.
the frustrating bit is that many timewaster and I mean couples and females do not even bother messaging back saying thanks but no thanks is only polite . so I think the males get a lot of slack on here when is not just them |

No reply is a reply. It's in the rules for the site. Many reasons why people don't reply. One of my main ones is that men keep messaging days, weeks, months after I've said no. |

How are they time wasting if they don’t reply to your message ?
Surely you decide to send a message on the off chance you ‘may’ get a reply or are you arrogant enough to think you are entitled to a reply, just because you sent a message ?
It’s also polite to read the FAQ on any site you join. Especially the bit that says ‘no reply means not interested’. |
Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
Can’t we on here at times … I’ve sent many a polite message not just fancy a fuck, and some don’t have the decency to reply.. I might get a reply one in every 30 sent.. so get your rant but works both ways |
