Reading the profile
Jump to: Newest in thread
Is it just us or does everyone receive messages where the profile has clearly not been read?
Now I know our profile is a little long winded but that's because we know what we are looking and we want people to have a clear understanding of us as a couple too before anyone's time gets wasted. A profile is there for a reason right?
Or are we just way too fussy?

It happens so often on here,we get messages from single men even though we aren't looking for them.
We have had messages from couoles looking for Bi females too,when we are straight.Just use it as a filter and delete .

Your not the only ones no, it happens to everyone on here
I wouldn't say your profile is long just people are lazy, if your profile was one line people still wouldn't read it |

It's not just men who don't read - messaged a woman here yesterday, got a reply, messaged her back....
...Then got a reply saying she hadn't realised (until getting my second message) that I was married - and it's quite clearly in the first line of my profile! |

Sometimes it's the profile more than the pictures that turn me on more on fab, especially if it's a greedy girl or a couple who play a hotwife scenario. |

Why is your profile so long? For the record I wouldn't read it all  |

Our profile says, quite clearly, we're not looking for single guys. 9 out of 10 emails are from single guys.
Our profile also says "If you want to drop us a mail please send more than a one line email, we're not asking for an essay, just a bit more than "How are you both? x". We can save you the hassle of asking that question right now by saying we are both fine."
9 out 10 emails from couples are "How are you both?" |

No, it's not just you.
On the rare occasion that I get a message, it's usually painfully obvious that they haven't even read the first four words. |

Not all single guys are arses and we sometimes get emails related to posts in the forums off them. The guys that send "wanna fuck" emails just get blocked.

Yes happens all the time, you just have to ignore them or just block them, some just look at the pictures and then message or wink. But you can't knock a try though I guess. X |

You are not alone.
Take solace in the knowledge that many, many others endure the familiar sight of a little yellow rectangle, bearing a "Hi" with possibly a "how are you?" or "fancy a fuck?". Sometimes my favourite may be there. Just a "do you have face pics?"
Alas, chances are that it is going to be from someone completely unlike what you have painstakingly asked for in your profile blurb too!
But don't give up. Be strong! Be patient! And above all, set your filters!!

Confused by your rolleyes to be honest.
Not every guy that emails is looking for a meet. Sometimes they have questions about something I've posted in the forums and don't want to ask publicly. If I block all single guys they have no outlet to ask.
Sometimes we get chatting to single guys at clubs/parties and afterwards they email us for some chitchat. Again if we block all single guys they can't.
So why the rolleyes smiley? |

Because you have just stated that 90% of your emails are from unwanted single guys, you can stop them by blocking them but you choose not to, hence the rolling eyes |

"I have a well written profile but someone nicked part of it so I have a shit profile now. "
Yeah, someone tried that with me too..nicked a big chunk of my profile and stuck it in the middle of his. But it was so obvious it was like putting a page of Wordsworth in the middle of Spots' first picnic. Reported it  |

Did you read the rest of the post as to why we don't block them? |

We too have a long profile and have stated what age range we are interested in as well does get very frustrating when people haven't taken the time to read your profile we think we will just wait until we go to clubs and socials and get to know couples better there now
Wish you all the best |

I never message anyone first like my buddy told me when he said i should join don't bother let them find you.
And no all have been fine.
I think the trick is to keep it short and brief unlike a lot i see that are just too long winded to bother reading in full.
Less is more sometimes guys.  |

But mostly they don't read my profile I don't read their message. |

It's not just the single guys.
Got a wink today from a couple, swapped a few messages and because the guy was listed as straight we thought we would check he was Bi (We say in the first few lines on our profile not to waste our or your time if your straight, we know some guys for whatever reason don't like to say they are Bi)
The reply was very short "WE DONT PLAY WITH BI GUYS" and then blocked us.

We are fussy, our profile is long and most people don't actually read it. They get distracted by the pictures! |

But such lovely pictures!
...And I still read it all.
Some people aren't even lazy, they just don't want to know. |

99 percent clearly have not done you the courtesy of having even the briefest read of your profile before they send some crass or inane 4 word message sadly |

We get it all too often and delete them all. It makes me laugh when they say 'has a read of your profile and really like it' and we just know it's bullshit  |

Happens all the time I think it is because men are very visual so get aroused at looking at the photos then message straight away x p.s that's not me sticking up for the men!! They still should read the profile it's the most important part of a persons account on here x |

Yeah, we've had similar experiences to that.
We wonder if it's maybe one half of the couple doesn't have an issue but the other does, so then there's the lack of communication. |

And everyone on FAB who has had this problem say "Aye."
* entire FAB community simultaneously says aye *
It's not always because people are ignorant. We've sometimes read a profile, messaged, then spotted something we didn't before which makes the message pointless. Oops! |

It's definitely not just men that don't bother, just a thought 'people read it' but just believe that it doesn't apply to them? |
