Maybe you are better looking and fitter than the Mr in their profile so he is blocking you ?
Or maybe, you just dont meet what they are looking for.?
Either way just accept and move on, you will succeed eventually |

If you received a polite "no thanks", would you accept it graciously, or would you like many others, then try and initiate a long and pointless dialogue ..asking for explanations etc?
You can't force people to reply; there are so many pointless threads in this vein.
Even the FAQ's ...or site guidelines, state that;
"It is not rude, not to reply". |

But then I wonder is not making an effort backfiring on me?? |

We get alot of messages from people who are of no interest to us but always try to send a polite reply.... it's the persistent ones who annoy us! Clearly don't remember sending the same copy/paste message the week earlier |

We get this alot people seeing your looking for a male so they message without reading further.
And to the op they may just not fancy you. |

ok, think like the lottery, you gotta be in it to win it. Giving up and not making an effort guarantees failure.
Try changing your pic to something a little more 'teasing'.... ( put the full naked one in your private ones for a bit). Try torso with jeans, open, boxers showing etc. Maybe the people you are contacting would prefer to unwrap you rather than see you fully naked.
Im not saying your pic is wrong or anything, its just that sometimes a change of pic or change of attitude on the profile attracts the right people x |

In all honesty I would accept it and have the whole two times that someone did that!!!...
I guess there's alot of people (mostly single men) with issues that have caused basic good manners to be eradicated off this site, now it is common practice to just ignore people??
Maybe I'm just different, if I make the effort to put a message together to someone who's criteria I meet I would expect a reply, but if I didn't meet their criteria then I wouldn't expect owt |

"so many messages recieved every day by girls that they cant look at every one. just keep trying "
That old chestnut ....... 'I have 200 messages in my inbox, cant read them all'....... maybe that is true for a newbie, but surely the numbers go down in time, or do you think ladies stay massively popular the whole time they are on here??? just a thought! |

A profile is only a vague description of what people want. It would be like a novel if everyone tried to explain all their likes and dislikes.. Short and to the point.
So doesn't mean u fit their criteria..
If they reply or not, they are not interested so does it really matter cos its not gonna go any further..
Why worry about the actions of a stranger u will never meet or converse with
Concentrate on those who do show interest |

In an ideal world, yes it would be reasonable to expect a reply. Many think they do meet the criteria as set out in someones profile, but these same people are often wrong - it is plain to see, that many do not read the profile thoroughly enough.
You have to accept that there is no way you can force people to use this site in the way you would like them to
You can "expect" away to your hearts content, but ultimately you are wasting your time as it is unlikely that it will ever be mandatory for the recipient of your message to reply ...which is why I see these threads (and there have been many similar ones) as pointless. No offence intended. |

You do not need to explain your sexuality to anyone.
But..... I do think it would help you if you explain your situation re your children etc as many will just assume you are married .

There is a parallel here between Fabswingers and conception. The Ms are the sperm. The F and MF are the egg. Imagine thousands of sperm trying to get to the egg. They are not all going to get a polite no thanks are they?

Nigel lol,
nice to know someone shares my frustrations
Suppose it does all come down to the m/f ratios being so not in our favour, getting numerous messages they can just delete delete delete without batting an eyelid, now if they were only getting one a day or every other day I bet you would see a change in response lol |

"Statuses moaning that you can't "get a shag" on here won't help your cause! Its not guaranteed that you get a shag on here, you have to make the effort! Good luck "
Don't you think lol
I know it's not guaranteed but did imagine a site full of sexually open minded folk it would be easier to find someone local to have some fun with than going up down and chatting someone up?
The reality to me is that this site for a single male is bloody hard work!!! Sending mail after mail, making an effort with what you write trying to stand out from the crowd without sounding pushy or cocky... Trying to guess weather they want a filthy talking kinda message or a more friendly approach only to end up with delete delete delete!!!
I don't take it personally but it does become frustrating!! |

It's so much easier to just go out and chat someone up as there is so much more competition on here than in a bar. So if you are just looking to hook up with people, go out. I use this site to look for different things from normal. So i'll still go on nights out with friends to find my ususal type of girl, but i'll look on here if i want fun with an older woman, or a couple; the kind of thing i wouldnt typically get from a night out |

I always read the profile before the message unless I can see from the message they haven't read my profile, so instant delete, ie I'm in a hotel...
For me, your profile would ensure a delete without reading from me. A pic that shows you as a "geezer", a profile devoid of any information apart from you expect a clean woman: axiomatic I'd have thought, , too tight to offer to share hotel but wanting to go to someone elses gaff. I know on here you've mentioned your situation, very few people read the forums so, as it is you come across married, selfish and dull.
That's just my impression...but I doubt I'm alone in my thinking. |

if i send a polite message and it gets deleated i do think a no thanks would be nice but i dont dwell on it ,but if i get a no thanks then that to me is fair enough i move on, i never go on hagging then on why ,yes it is frustracting but thats life |

I reply to everyone who meets what I'm looking for, as I clearly state I won't respond to those that don't!
Of the 60 or so messages I've received this year, so I'm hardly inundated so could reply to all, I've responded to three! |

Funny how people interpret things?? And cheers for the heads up ill have a re think
See there's me thinking my pics fairly normal, no cock shot that everyone moans about and not showing nowt to ideally gain some interest?
Again I've kept info to a minimum thinking I would get questioned and maybe build up a conversation
And thought emphasising I'm clean and play safe by wanting the same is a good thing
And it's your assumption that I wouldn't share a hotel as I would, but again goes back to the logic of keeping things to a minimum |
