having looked at a number of profiles,I'm amazed at the number of very aggressive attitudes towards guys.Ok I know they might have had some issues with some guys,but surely this aggression is not going to encourage us nice guys to contact them.

Why not? If you have the mind set that they are AT-AT's on Hoth and you, as part of the rebel alliance, have the job of getting a meet with them - then go for it!

I consider myself privileged that my wife and several female friends are on Fab. I see what it's like for a lady on here.

I am hardly surprised if they end up being a little less than tactful in a profile because of the sheer number of inane messages they get from men each and every day.

For a lady, coming home from work and opening an inbox with 50 messages from guys who think a cock will impress, and who cannot spell....is rather annoying.

It would depend on how negative/aggressive the profile is. But I am certainly not put off by a lady asserting herrself, saying what exactly she wants and does not want.

Perhaps sometimes people get pissed off and alter their profile to reflect this.

I can see why they do it.. changed my profile today - couldn't possibly be any clearer what I want, yet still getting messaged by guys who either can't read, or seem to think of it as a challenge

so.. a lot of ignoring going on here now, rather than ranting.

If I were a man I wouldn't message women with those kinds of profiles. I know it can be a little frustrating at times but some only have their lists of demands and how they block this and delete that,with nothing about what they bring or anything about their personality,except negativity.

Girls can afford to be as aggressive as they choose as many have had bad experiences and it is the only way to get their point across. I am sure most if not all still get inundated with messages anyway. X

We had the same conversation today. I appreciate a lady who sticks to her principles but some just come across as miserable and diva-like. Not very enticing.

It can sometimes be hard to get the balance between being clear and being ranty so some I think aren't as bad as they can come across...some however are just plain nasty, and it's pointless because the ones the venom is directed towards will never read it!

I hope I have the balance right, but in doing that I think I might have a slightly longer profile than I'd like. I don't want to go to the 'lists' way of doing things though as that to me can be a bit abrupt and cold. Each to their own though if it gets them what they want.

A lot of profiles evolve over time and contain text which is there as a reaction to messages received, it is easy to come across as ranting sometimes so we get others to check our profile x

Tbh I don't think they care lovely!

Yep - there are lots of aggressive female (and couple) profiles

Yes there are lots of narcissistic profiles!

My profile is deliberately the opposite - a bit like an andrex puppy on speed when you get into the main body of it - but that's pretty much what I'm like in real life too!

I think it's worth thinking about *why* some women's profiles are "aggressive", rather than just complaining about them...

Like someone mentioned already- often, when women have "nice" profiles, laying out what they're looking for, NICELY, they still get a lot of men who don't respect any of that, and just send messages that are rude/ ill considered/ just really not what the woman is looking for.

Now... If you were getting that day after day, week after week, don't you think you'd want to tweak your profile to reflect more emphatically what you wanted?

And if this was happening over months and months, rendering your fabs experience more a tedium than a pleasure, can you not imagine tweaking your profile stricter and stricter, ending up with something that might be considered "aggressive"?

And let's just have a look at this complaint... You're presenting what's called a "tone argument" - which is that it appears you're saying that women need to hit a certain standard of "niceness" before you'll consider them worthy of contact.

When, in fact, women can put whatever the fuck they want in their profiles, and if you don't like it, you don't have to contact them. Women have just as much a right to be "aggressive" in their profiles as men have to just put a single line of "single guy lukin fr women" on theirs.

Relax, and just contact those women who appeal to you, and stop trying to police the profiles of women.

I think this, and everything you said in your previous post, is why guys need to get an insight into what ladies experience on Fab and similar sites.

Yes, 90% of the men who contact my wife and my female friends send messages that are inappropriate. Not usually rude, but messages from guys who haven't read their profiles and who are not looking for the same things as the lady...or the ubiquitous "wanna fuck lol" with a cock pic. 90% of ladies are not enticed by this tactic!

A friend of mine once wrote an article "How not to be a douchebag" as a guide for guys using dating sites. Because just showing some ordinary, decent respect and recognising that the person you are messaging is a human being (and not a couple of holes for your personal use) goes a long way.

But after weeks/months/years of multiple rubbish messages every day it is hardly a surprise that some women write profiles which can come across as a bit blunt.

I am sure that the "woe is me" statuses and profiles (usually from blokes) are a huge turn off. If Fab ever gets me feeling that way I simply avoid Fab for a few hours/days.

Maybe the "aggressive" profiles are purposely intended to reduce the number of messages a person receives?

Not at all, comes across as quite friendly, with plenty of information about yourself and what you are looking for. If you weren't 200 miles away I might have been tempted to write.

I'm still yet to discover a chap looking for sexual encounters that I haven't thought isn't an absolute arse at the heart of it all, but I keep that knowledge out of my profile blurb, lol, evidently many here need to make their grrr dismay known. I do wonder, does that signalled potential bunny-boiler approach not put some off contacting these bitter types, it does me.

Just an example of the kind of thing women get: on my profile, one of my dislikes is "sub men, I don't dominate" etc.

Now, I don't think I have a particularly long profile, I think it's relatively succinct and easy to read.

But I've just had a full time sub guy message me asking me if I'd dominate him.

This definitely makes me think I maybe need to make that part of my profile more prominent, to stop these kinds of messages in future.

And so if I did that, that's probably the kind of "aggression" people are talking about. So should I just have to deal with every single unsuitable message?

As it is, idgaf about doing that, so won't change my profile. Lol.

But I'm saying it's totally someone's prerogative to write whatever they want on their profile. Lol

An interesting angle on this is, most people that aren't having much success, in one way or another, generally wonder, why are people making a snap judgement about me without giving me a fair chance? I'm not like my profiles reads I'm just not good at selling myself by the written word

These "aggressive" profiles may not be from "aggressive" people just assertive people that know what they want but maybe don't express them wants and needs very well by the written word, yet they are automatically labelled aggressive and avoided. Of course I'm not saying you're not entitled to do that if you wish

We all judge from time to time, usually based on our first impression of someone, especially on a site for casual encounters such as this one, that doesn't mean you are making the correct judgement of them. Of course we're all entitled to do that if it works for us, just remember first impressions aren't always correct.

Of course I'm not saying you're not entitled to do that if you wish

We all judge from time to time, usually based on our first impression of someone, especially on a site for casual encounters such as this one, that doesn't mean you are making the correct judgement of them. Of course we're all entitled to do that if it works for us, just remember first impressions aren't always correct."

So, poking them with a stick you'd discourage?

Personally i can't imagine the sort of guys that would contact the negative ranty people, but they aren't bothering me so i don't think i could care less. I was told mine was ranty the other day. Maybe i would care if i was trying to meet and others didn't get my humour, but as things are I'm not and i don't.

And I think this is exactly it. Those people who have those kinds of profiles are obviously happy with them, or they'd change them. Lol

I don't understand the constant need to go on about other people's profiles.. Message the ones you like ignore the ones you don't.. Simple.....

We may not be talking about "ranty" profiles. I have no issues with a lady quite bluntly stating what she does and doesn't want. I am not put off by someone confidently giving a list of things that are deal breakers - as long as they are not also deal breakers for me. If someone says "no fat guys" then I don't take that as rude, and I accept I am not for them. If someone says "no liars, no fakes, no weirdos" I might write to them.

Though some think I am a little weird!

Definitely affected the OP enough to moan about it.

I've always thought the same...and the stuff about Sydney University.

The best line I saw was "Sydney University, knock yourself out"

If I don't like a profile, if I am put off by the language...then I don't write to that person.

If I am unsure, I probably don't write either.

I do think that a lot of men would find it useful to gain an insight into what it's like for a lady on Fab.

I can see it from both sides and yes we have all had our share of bad experiences me included to the point I was terrified but hey we have to learn from them and move on or get off the site ...... I personally don't see the point in a long profile of duo's and don't etc doesn't it take the fun away of chatting and getting to know them ? I say what I need to say trying to keep it short and are always complimented on my profile

Not pointless at all I find, as it helps me spot them, much in the same way I find it rather useful if certain people keep their foil helmets on.

My profile probably comes across as aggressive but it's not suprising i write it that way after getting messeges from a guy who wants to meet me however he doesn't match my preferences so i said no thanks to which he replied with "well go f**k your self" !

I get messeges like that most days so i tend to be aggressive in my profile !

I do get nice polite messeges aswell but i get more nasty messeges !

I agree. So many people rant about stuff on here in their updates etc I often wonder why the hell they're still here. This site is great and allows anyone to run their profile how they wish. I've adapted the way I use this site over the years as it could get somewhat frustrating but not any more.

We treat profiles like personalities as this and their pics is all we have to go on initially. If it's an aggressive profile we wouldn't be intetested in meeting up with aggressive people so don't get involved. Now profiles that come across as nice, grounded human beings then we're getting somewhere. As for changing our profile according to the messages we receive we're not going to do that, we'll just ignore those, delete or block and keep our profile the way we like it as it reflects us.

And those nice and reasonable profiles, best watch out for ourselves with those ones too I'd suggest, they could quite easily be the cleverly crafted traps of sociopaths wanting to lure you to a game of trivial pursuit before then burning you in the bath.

There's just no way of telling is there!!

That's just a starting point for us but, yes, you're right. There's always that at the back of your mind even after all the convo and social you're still meeting strangers and relying on your judgement.

Me too. Much easier to adapt the way I do things, than to try and change 20,000 strangers.
