Best/worst "ice breaker" messages.

It seems that the men of Fab are trying to catch women's attention with alternative "ice breaker" type opening messages.

Over the years I've had a few "Can I ask you a question?" openers but I'm now getting a lot more of them, as well as "Do you want to hear a joke?" and "What's your favourite biscuit?".

Who decided this trend was a good idea, does anyone actually respond positively to this drivel (I don't!) and what have been the best/worse ones you've received?

What if they just want to know what your favourite biscuit is? Like for a research project

To be fair it beats sending nothing other than a cock pic or the usual" hi babe wanna meet right now" messages that I constantly get

It's so frustrating, especially when your genuinely looking for a meet and only get offers from faceless cocks lol

Oo err Devon

I find the.. Can I ask a question? Ones frustrating.. Just ask the darn question already...

But they are better than a simple hi.. Or meet now need my cock sucked type messages..

As long as they can say something interesting after that first message and help initiate and interesting conversation after they are better than a cock over a toilet pic as an introduction in my eyes.

I don't mind them.

If I got to a point where I was getting irked by someone's opening line enough to post about it on here, I'd probably have my filters set to impenetrable.

It's a way for a man to say hi, that's not sleazy. Yeah it's cheesy as hell. It's far better than a cock photo (although I do like those sometimes) and a wanna fuk.

The best opening message I've received from someone was a haiku after I had posted about my love of them. They fucked up the syllables in the middle but it worked.

And of course now I get men hilariously messaging to ask me what my favourite biscuit is. Keep it to the forum, fellas, especially if you've messaged me before and I made it clear I didn't want to chat with you.

Well what is it ?

I get a lot of questions asked these days, a few due to the guy being supposedly interested in crossdressing or attending clubs or other venues to meet some of us. They generally dry up when I give them actual advice rather than an agreement to meet and help them. It’s never an interest on their profile that makes me suspicious of their intentions

It's just an "in", isn't it. Like someone who isn't lost asking a pretty girl for directions while he doesn't listen and just stares at her boobs

ah its hard to start a conversation with someone over a message on Fab... Some think just "hi how are you?" is boring and lacks imagination. Bet you would rather discuss biscuits as ice breaker than getting some filthy perverted message? Guys are damned if they do and damned if they don't it seems

Just be normal and introduce yourself. This is like the online version of guys in bars asking if you bumped yourself when you fell from heaven. Just be yourself, not a cheesemonger or filthmeister

"Hi/How are you" IS boring. But whatever happened to politely introducing yourself? I get the damned if they do or don't thing but that's because most messages are "extreme" - either extremely dull, extremely cheesy or extremely offensive. Where's that happy middle ground where they just use basic social skills?

No-one ever told me I fell from heaven.

Fair point. I like the ones where they introduce themselves. Short and to the point though. Not an essay.

As one of those guys I have tried all ways to get a response from the person of interest. Admittedly I havent done the fave biscuit one, but I’ve been me I have sent one liners I have asked questions about the person and still have been ignored. I think it’s down to the person if honest.

Having said that I do get my fair share of messages from guys and it does piss you off to repeatedly be asked the same questions.

Yep, don't need your whole life story or pornographic details of sexual preferences, just a basic introduction.

I hate the ‘can I ask you a question’ openers....

You just did and the answer is No!

I’d rather have a friendly Hey, how’s it going today msg

Yep, it's tedious. A samey or annoying message will put me off but if it's not too bad I still need the profile to be interest me. If it's nowt but dick pics or contradicts itself in any way, then I won't be interested.

Yes you are correct... Its either filth or boring but it's hard to be imaginative. I havent sent an ice breaker message in a long time...its hard for guys when you throw a hundred darts at the dartboard and none stick! I have gotten messages that have not exactly set the world alight but i appreciate that the profile is nice and the women want out on a limb to make contact...that should be the main take from it... I think
