FabSwingers.com forum: What to say when messaging ladies?

By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

The only chats I've had on here have been forum related. Whenever I have messaged anyone who I find in local searches they usually see my message but never reply.

I have never opened up with a sexual message and always been polite and read the profiles first but it always leads to nothing. Should I be asking about sex to get a reply?

PS happy Easter everyone

Your profile doesn’t give much away. Everyone is different, but as a couple we like to see a bit of info on the people that are messaging us, so we can see if there is something that appeals to us or if they’re not our cup of tea.

It's not just your message that's important. It's the whole profile.

I want information and photos or I probably wouldn't reply.

The issue is your profile. There's nothing there to pique interest or stand out. Women will often look at the profile first before even opening the message.

What I don't get is I see some men have profiles with very little text and only cock pics or no pics at all and they have been meet verified by women who they have met through this site.

I wonder what they're saying in an opening message to get attention.

Make yourself stand out, be active and use all parts of the site. Get involved in things. Put effort into your pictures and profile. Messaging really isn't very effective, you're better off spending your time doing everything you can to make sure you get yourself noticed by the people who are actually looking for someone like you. If they like what they see then they'll make themselves known. It worked for me.

There is no excuse with the current situation to have a tiny profile which doesn't say much about you and no pictures. I just think if the person can't make an effort with that, they are unlikely to make an effort later when we meet.

You need to make your profile more appealing and intriguing otherwise when people read your message and check your profile after and end up nothing to see , they probably won’t bother to respond.

That’s what I do so it’s my humble opinion

Nothing ventured nothing gained,

You may as well, civilised conversation never really works on here unless you look like a male Adonis and you can call her a dirty slut and she'll still want your babies or try and fuck you into a relationship then the sex stops.

Profile, profile, profile. When someone messages me this is my process:

1) did they send a face pic and if so do I like it?

2) check profile to see how near they are to me as I’m looking for local people only

3) check profile to see if they can accommodate- sometimes that helps

4) read profile info to see if I can get a sense of whether we have compatible interests, senses of humour, situations etc.

5) look at public pics

If all of that leads me to think we may get on I’ll send a reply. I hope this helps op

Exactly this. If someone can't be bothered to spend 20 minutes writing a decent profile, they're not going to make an effort elsewhere.

As for people who have veris and minimal text they may have met elsewhere or they might have something else that makes then attractive.

No need to get shirty!!!

There are plenty of people on here who make effort so saying "I've not made the effort but I would" just isn't cutting the mustard.

Would you chat up a woman who made zero effort and assume that she might bother if you meet up?

And yes actually I probably would. If I saw someone was local and I could see a picture and some text then it would intrigue me to find out more about her.

I think women could post a picture of their knee cap and still get chatted up.

A fab profile is an exercise in self marketing. The items that have better packaging and marketing will likely attract more attention. Not likening people to products but it's a useful and valid example.

Nothing ventured nothing gained,

I read you there

I'd leave it at reading if I were you - I only engage in what I would class as "civilised conversation" when I first talk to people, am by no means an Adonis and wouldn't dream of sending a fuck and cock pic message as an opener and yet I'm more than happy with my experience of the site.

The advice above about your profile is excellent - what you also have to rem_mber is there are more ways to approach the site than sending cold messages to people.

In fact in 4 years here I can tell you precisely how many "cold" messages I've sent to people I've not interacted with before - 6!! And yet I've met people (none of whom were from those cold messages).

The key is finding an approach that works for you, adopting the right attitude and expectations and coupling them with a decent profile and pics - I also find it helps not to make it "all about" meeting or even chatting to ladies adopting an "if it happens it happens" stance will make it seem so much better

Exactly this. Most, if not all, of those whom you message will check out your profile before even thinking about looking at your message - and this is why a lot of messages go unread, which can lead to you wondering why you bother and so on.

You may have written the most perfectly crafted message, the best message they'll have ever been sent, but if they don't find your profile appealing, it will all be for nothing.

Something else you must consider that is perhaps THE most important thing of all.

YOU may feel that you tick all the boxes that someone is looking for.

YOU may feel that you meet all of their requirements and can give them exactly what they are looking for.

THEY may not agree but more importantly, they have to fancy you for it to happen and, I think, a lot of people on fab are simply failing to appreciate this, somehow thinking that fab is different to the real world. Maybe some who come onto fab make the assumption that others are here to shag anyone and everyone and, essentially, haven't understood what swinging is about at all

I thought a well written message with pictures would of been enough to atleast get a message, but no.

I will up my game after lockdown. "

But is that what you’re doing?

YourNewMaster hits the nail on the head here.

We (as in both of us) have to feel comfortable, interested, intrigued, and entertained. This starts, continues through the social, and into the bedroom. If either one of us isn't sure at any point, then it doesn't happen.

Everybody has their own preferences when it comes to fancying people too. And a lot of people fancy the mind as well as the physical. If we can't connect, then that's over 50% attraction lost immediately.

The only chats I've had on here have been forum related. Whenever I have messaged anyone who I find in local searches they usually see my message but never reply.

I have never opened up with a sexual message and always been polite and read the profiles first but it always leads to nothing. Should I be asking about sex to get a reply?

PS happy Easter everyone

Honestly I wouldn't bother, there are more effective ways to spend your time.

For me too

Although if they are really new I may extend the hand of welcome, but that'll be about all

I only blocked you because it’s what I do when I disagree with a guy on the forums - it’s because I’ve had so much abuse in similar situations, so I don’t take any chances now. I’ll unblock if you promise not to do that!

This is sad actually. Your fab experience must have been a bitter one to resort to such an extreme measures for merely disagreeing with someone

Not all of it, by any means, but there are enough unpleasant people on here (I’ve received plenty of abuse just for existing, not even over a disagreement) that I consider it a kind of self-defence.

Right? I’ve had so many like that and it’s like mate, I’m sitting on my sofa in ugly trackie bottoms and no make-up, just like I have been every day for the last nearly 4 weeks!

OP.

It's often difficult, but really, there's no one definitive answer, nor response or approach to anyone.

It comes down to one common denominator, that is, how you "SELL YOURSELF" in your profile and how it follows from there.

Look at your profile first & try to look at it from the perspective of someone else looking at you and how they'd view you as a potential meet!

You have to tell others how you are, what you can bring to a meet, plus what you'd contribute too.

Equally, when approaching people you are interested in, check their profile fully. Try to pick up on their "signals", ie, what they're saying about themselves, their likes & desires, and what they have in common with you.

Then tailor your response approach to them in turn. Inject some subtle humour, be polite, but don't sound needy.

It's an emotive balance of wording and putting your message across but with practice and sometimes the feedback that some give, you'll learn what works and what doesn't!

Good luck.

Sometimes people aren't quite sure where to start and fall back on a generic question? I can imagine some frustration if asked repeatedly but that reaction comes across as a bit disproportionate.

You’ve really got to base your first message as an introduction and a bit about yourself then try to link it into what the lady says about herself on her profile

OP I think you should just do you. The right woman for you will respond to just that. It might take time but better than trying to be or do something that is not you. Happy Easter to you too
