"In all fairness, I think in a sense it's true.. we do have choice but doesn't necessarily mean its from a good bunch. If your looking for a quick bonk then sure it's easy to 'take your pick'. However, a decent guy with good conversation, banter and attraction is hard to come by on here " I know!! We’re really hard to find. | |||

"In a sense it is true. Woman do have the pick of the crop. Not necessarily the best outright but the best of what is available. There is a difference. " Yeah, there's a brilliant description for that above | |||

"Well at least we know who to avoid in the future. Just another male bashing thread. Except it wasn't at all, it was just a question " But you generalise and put down people you have never ever interacted with. How the hell can anyone be worth getting to know with minds that are so closed. One of them on here knocking men fabbed my pics? Why bother if you think the way you do. | |||

" I guess when people use that ‘pick of the crop’ expression they refer to numbers. The crop is what it is and certainly more bountiful for women. That it doesn’t meet their quality standards is a different matter." I shall add that Fab, for men as well as for women, is most probably representative of the general population as a whole, if not in numbers from a gender point of view, at least in body types, personalities and many other characteristics. So I doubt that the men on fab are worse than what would you would find anywhere else. | |||

"Or women in general. Why is it that the phrase " they have their pick of the crop" is banded around so much in reference to women? I see it all the time and I don't understand it. They're may be more guys on here but we have to be attracted to that person too or have something in common with them or them meet our preferences. That soon narrows the shortlist. You see all the time, women saying how mad their inboxes go and there's nothing great in there. What's with people making out that we can have our pick of the bunch without doing our fair share? Disclaimer - it's not a moan, I'm just musing and curious. " Well, statistically speaking it's true. If you say that people are attracted to on average 1 in every 100 people they come across, then women are much more likely to find those men as there are many more men here. For example if we say there are 10000 men and 1000 women here, that would mean women could find 1000 men they are attracted to and men 10. This is obviously just numbers, and there is more to it, in genstat men might find more women attractive than women so men, the number of messages might make it harder to find those men, etc. Also getting a merry with those guys might be harder as there will be more women vying over them. Bit in general, I think finding someone you like on here 'should' be easier for women. | |||

"Most of you clearly have issues but love nothing but venting that on men. Men like me you know fuck all about or ever will because soon as I see you become unattractive and dead to me. And that's because I can walk away and not bow down and simp. One of you had on her profile that she will attack men violently while he sleeps. What kind of mind do you have to even think this?

There are some absolutely lovely guys on here but they are one to a dozen so that's why pick of the bunch isn't exactly the case.

"Usually these do either start or turn in to men bashing (by women too) but this certainly was twisted to be it when it's clearly not. It's about a phrase that is used. This time it's just somebody looking to be butt hurt and looking to be the victim. As for the phrase its about odds. Larger pool of men statistically means that yes women have a better chance of picking a good match. Men on the other hand have a smaller pool to not only pick from, but are competing with a larger pool too. Nothing but the odds being in the favour of women. Which everyone knows anyway. " Works the other way too, there's men on here I would love to message but I don't as I know they have their 'pick' so to speak and probably a lot better option that me, so I would go unnoticed too like a lot of men feel when messaging women | |||

"It isn’t necessarily gender bashing. In general, see the numbers any worse here than offline? How many men do you come across on a standard daily basis. 99% go unnoticed. Here, it’s 95%. We’re up on that score already. Of the ones you may choose to engage with offline, how many strike you as being close to someone who would excite you in any way? Perhaps none at all for many moons. You understand the pattern. Just apply it to the real world and you can see it really is no different." Doesn’t anyone else see the similarity with real life?

We’re up on that score already. Of the ones you may choose to engage with offline, how many strike you as being close to someone who would excite you in any way? Perhaps none at all for many moons. You understand the pattern. Just apply it to the real world and you can see it really is no different. Doesn’t anyone else see the similarity with real life? That it’s not simply a Fab issue or am I entirely wrong?" I hope real life isnt the same!!! After 18 months of a virtual social life, i’ve put my belief in real world interactions not having many of the pitfalls of online communications. | |||

"Usually these do either start or turn in to men bashing (by women too) but this certainly was twisted to be it when it's clearly not. It's about a phrase that is used. This time it's just somebody looking to be butt hurt and looking to be the victim. As for the phrase its about odds. Larger pool of men statistically means that yes women have a better chance of picking a good match. Men on the other hand have a smaller pool to not only pick from, but are competing with a larger pool too. Nothing but the odds being in the favour of women. Which everyone knows anyway. Works the other way too, there's men on here I would love to message but I don't as I know they have their 'pick' so to speak and probably a lot better option that me, so I would go unnoticed too like a lot of men feel when messaging women " Believe in yourself. Of course there is a risk of being turned down when messaging somebody and that risk is the same for all of us. However you don’t know what people really like beyond what they write in their profile. You could well be an attractive option for them. Besides, if forum comments are to go by, most men don’t get loads of spontaneous messages so they notice when they do. Try your luck. Could be worth it. | |||

"That’s exactly how I see it and also why I tend to go for the men who think similarly to you and don’t bloody moan all the time! And yes, whether it’s man bashing or not, people like you are in short supply. Frequently the same men..." You’re right. | |||

Not in lifestyle or communication but the numbers. How many men do women interact with in real life. Same here it’s just that here, the men notice being ignored. Offline, it’s normal to be ignored. | |||

"Pick of the crop, or any other analogy that you might like to use, is a bit irrelevant with all the most interesting and exciting people invariably located at opposite ends of the country, unless of course one or other is on first name terms with Dr Who, or Mr Spock to beam each other together at the speed of light, meeting up is highly unlikely, thus narrowing down the field a bit for both men and women. " Yep. Plus women that women like, but they're straight. A couple they like who only play with other couples and not singles. Blokes that they like who are miles away/in demand/getting close to someone so ya don't wanna cause any aggy/work out they're married and cheating. | |||

"Most of you clearly have issues but love nothing but venting that on men. Men like me you know fuck all about or ever will because soon as I see you become unattractive and dead to me. And that's because I can walk away and not bow down and simp. One of you had on her profile that she will attack men violently while he sleeps. What kind of mind do you have to even think this? " One of you, oooooh one of you. Why not just mention me by name if you’re going to split hairs about everything. Also that’s something that’s written in my profile and if I’m not mistaken, you’re not supposed to critique someone’s profile unless they specifically ask for advice. Every time you comment I keep hearing a certain Mariah Carey song in my head, why you so obsessed with me. | |||

"I rather think that a few guys take exception to the fact we can actually say "thanks, but no thanks" - so they complain publicly (some of them). I think there a re loads of genuinely nice guys with whom I would have a drink, a chat perhaps eventually a bit more. What puts me off a bit is the pressure of getting into playtime within one meet - possibly a second meet if you count the social. I like to get to know people first. Furthermore, I do not necessarily fancy the guys after a meet or two but like them as a person. Does this mean to comply with unwritten singing rules I either cannot interact with them, have a drink etc unless I have sex with them? I dont think that is the case but it sometimes feels like a lot of pressure when really we cannot help whom we fancy and whom we do not." There's loads of decent men on here. They shouldn't take it personally if someone is discussing the bad ones as it's obviously not about them. I think many men assume women should just fuck anyone who asks, hence the 'pick of the crop' rubbish. | |||

"Or women in general. Why is it that the phrase " they have their pick of the crop" is banded around so much in reference to women? I see it all the time and I don't understand it. They're may be more guys on here but we have to be attracted to that person too or have something in common with them or them meet our preferences. That soon narrows the shortlist. You see all the time, women saying how mad their inboxes go and there's nothing great in there. What's with people making out that we can have our pick of the bunch without doing our fair share? Disclaimer - it's not a moan, I'm just musing and curious. " Do they? I must cruise around with my head in the clouds then because I don't see any of that, or even think it.

I read it as yeah, women may get plenty of offers, but if the offers aren't enticing, it doesn't matter how many you get. But like me if someone offered me a mega ginormous seafood platter. Shit loads to pick from and a seafood eater would think I was the luckiest person on earth....but I won't touch any of it coz I don't do seafood. | |||

"I would be really interested to know what would make a message or profile stand out to a lady on here…? It’s so challenging for a man (or anyone) to come across genuine but show a playful side within an opening message. Most messages I send don’t even get opened. Again, not complaining, just interested " You can’t really ask that as it’ll be different for absolutely everyone. Just be yourself. | |||
