"We have asked anyone who wants to contact us to read our profile totally and reply with a certain word. Is that difficult "
No, it's not difficult at all but for some guys they only see what they want to and simply just don't read profiles and the content fully and properly.
Genuine males will read profiles correctly and act accordingly. |

Just my opinion but I'm a genuine person and when I see that on a profile it puts me off. I'm an adult looking for some relaxed fun, I don't want to have to do things a certain way or follow rules imposed by one half of the equation.
Could it be the genuine people are not contacting you because they HAVE read your profile? |

Conversely, I get my meets on the grounds that my Profile plus my style of approach followed by two-way dialogue conveys being Genuine to those with whom I'm liaising.
Thus, it means different things to different people. |

This, if I see the word thing I would think nope not jumping through hoops for you.
But also a lot of people do look at the pics and message it's soon easy by looking at their profile and seeing that they don't match what you are looking for |

It puts me off too, I don't reply to people who request a certain word be said. And also what at the end of the day, is there to say, that that person has even read MY profile. X |

I ignore the code word or spell it wrong or choose my own. People still meet. |

If I read a profile that ressembles a tick list of likes and requirements and then at the end says ‘include the word ..... to show you have read ‘ then I simply would never ‘apply’ . |

In fairness, they’re using the site the way they want to - by messaging the people with pictures they like. Annoying when that’s not how you like to use it but that’s where it makes a quick scan of messages easy for you before you start to read properly. |

Your profile is fairly difficult to read to be honest as it's just one block paragraph with little punctuation. The word you want them to write is hidden among it.
I had to read it a couple of times to pick it out, but then it's early and my eyes haven't woken up yet! |

"Do people still have that on their profiles nowadays,It's very off putting and no way would I use it.
No way would I read a profile anyway "
Exactly some people know too many word's for my liking. |

To be fair there is not that much to read information wise, apart from the no hair and you will contact single guys if you want to meet them, there is not really much about your actually selves and what you are looking for and the sort of people you want to meet and the things you like sex wise. |

Yeah I admit I would have given up the moment you said allergic to hair. I'm not bic razoring my scalp for sex. As like many here we here for fun not to perform a circus act just for you to even chat to us. |

The trouble is, that if its a bloke looking, many of them only have one eye and that's usually focused on a hand in its field"vision"
Sorry to rabbit on with this bit of nonsense |

Not at all.
I eventually had to because of all the "straight guys looking for women"
Who kept sending "Hi" messages!
Now I know they don't read it
So instant delete and get abuse!
Just shows the morons for what they are! |

I have learnt that some people what they write on their profile and what they say in their messages don't match. Profile is just an advertisement really.  |

There is a large group of people on here with a check box list or treat it like a dating site
It's a social site! You don't stand in a pub with a large sign listing the type of people you will only chat to- it's a process of illumination.
I love this site but some people need to lighten up and not take themselves so seriously.
And before I get attacked this comment is not aimed at anyone in this thread it's just a general remark
Happy dabbing everyone and enjoy yourself |

"I bet you can’t find our code word!
You have an essay as a profile. Why?
To put people off "
To put people off so you don't want to meet people then that's a bit odd ! |

If you want to do yourselves a big favour get rid of the reply with this keyword instruction.
It comes across demanding and many here will simply not apply.
Generally we are not seeking to apply for anything. It smacks of entitlement.
To then post a complaining thread that some don't follow your instructions further suggests entitlement and a perception that by meeting you are doing the other some favour!
People make their own choices and will seek those they feel some affinity with....being told what to do by demands on profiles does not sit easily with that...
But it's your profile so feel free to ignore this and do it any way you want

But your missing the point too..it's about meeting people you want to meet..having certain things on your profile text makes it clear on who and how you meet..if you do not have these thing set out you just get bombarded with unwanted message asking the same thing over and over again ..no offence, put as a single male on here you probably do not get bombarded with lots of message each day on the lines off ..fancy a fuck..I am free now to come and fuck you ..text me..and so on |

Exactly this.
The long(ish) profiles and keywords are there as a way of sifting out the wasters who can't be bothered to put effort in at any stage and just treat Fab like a dark alley behind a school disco.
No wonder so many singles complain if they can't grasp the idea that they need to put SOME effort in. |

Do you find it hard to satisfy a woman who has very specific needs and desires, or do you assume it's your way or the highway?
Asking for a friend. |

It would seem that even with the keyword you demand that you still get those messages..... |

I have actually asked the question about one line messages in another thread on here and the general theme was that if they liked the profile or the pics then many would still reply. I guess it's the overall package people go for.
The point I was making was simply ignore, delete, block or say no thank you.
And no as a single male we don't get 100s of messages but we can still be just as choosy about who we meet. It's nice to get that choice even if you do have to pick through people that may or may not be blanket mailing in the hope of a reply
You will be amazed just how many people sign a legal document without reading it |

Yes you're tight. It's a process of elimation. And if somebody wants to start that elimination process early on so they don't waste time on people who ultimately won't make the grade, that's up to them.
By the way, who put YOU in charge of how people use Fab? |

As a couple we do not like just to simply ignore or delete or block,we always try and reply to any messages we get ..but we have filters in place in our profile wording to hopefully filter out the standard fancy a fuck ..I'm free this morning at 6am to fuck you..if we do get this type of message then it's clear they have not seen our full profile, probably just seen a pic and hit the message button..these type of message will get deleted and not replied to,because if they can not be bothered to read a profile, then we can not be bothered to reply |

Yup. They'll be the same people whinging on the forum about why they don'g get replies or meets. Yet the penny never drops. |

And then you take your precious time to read a profile and there's nothing on it to help you decide if you want to meet them.
I don't have time to waste on useless profile text. |

No one it's always been like this on here- it's a small price to pay for a great site that puts you in touch with so many great people. You are always going to come across people who don't play along or have their own approach to how they choose to contact. It will never change

Do not pass go do not collect two hundred dollars.
I know why people do, to check that Single males or couples have read the terms and conditions and understand what the profile wants, as so as not to waste their time or yours
But if people just communicated a bit better with people instead of listing SMALL PRINT |
