Ok wee bit of a rant:

Profile states looking for M,F,MF,MM,FF etc etc aged 18-99.

You message that profile (politely) then receive a reply (woo hoo!!) sorry you’re not my type.

Sorry? What’s your type? - every adult within 100 miles according to your profile.. then said profile puts an update on saying “getting sick of all the messages I’m gettin” - well you’ve cast a bloody big net darlin…

Just a little bit of effort wouldn’t go amiss when setting up the profile and some of these are over a year old.. this happens a lot..

I mean I should be happy that they bothered to reply at all.. maybe they just thought I was pig ugly…

Your profile states that you wont take offense if your not someone's type.

Sometimes saying you're not my type does mean just that, they do find you pig ugly

Their view is, of course, subjective

Either way, it's just a more polite way of saying they aren't attracted to you

The fact they do reply is good, because we hear so many complaints from folk saying they rarely get any of their messages answered

As for their lack of filters, that's their problem, not yours

You only make it yours by going 'on one' when they politely decline your advances

That attitude says more about you than their lack of filters says about them.

Sorry, but I think this post doesn't reflect you in a positive light

It was meant to be humorous and a bit tongue in cheek .

And I don’t ever take offence as there’s plenty of fish out there - but it can’t hurt to write in your bio but what you do normally find attractive? Plenty of profiles are very precise in that regards and more power to them. Saves everyone time.

Your post was definitely lacking humour.

Happy fishing!

Also, you don't state what YOUR type is in your own profile either

To me sorry your not my type normally suggests the attraction isn't there.

It would be impossible to write everything in a profile that you find attractive and don't find attractive, as it varys so much from person to person.

Get yourself on some different sites then

There are sites for chunky guys and those that admire them

The dynamic is very different to Fab, bigger guys DO struggle here, especially ones on the shorter side

As a bigger guy, over 50, who is also a short, hairy, bald, speccy slaphead, I know first hand it's an uphill struggle

I don't moan though cos it's my choice to be here and besides, I accept that whilst they don't want to fuck, it doesn't stop me being treated with respect and friendliness

What she said ^ It's a nice way of saying there's no attraction. It's a hazard of fab life, take it for what it is and move on. Swim into someone else's net, there's plenty out there

If you wrote all your likes and dislikes your profile would look like you are ranting.

Plus what we find unattractive on one person could look attractive on another.

Yes some profiles could have some ideas of what is attractive to them - we have it in ours, but it’s there as a guide and we hope that we will attract likeminded people due to our profile.

I was more bothered that the said profile put a post up saying they were getting too many messages - I wasn’t particularly bothered about them

saying I wasn’t their type in fairness..

I like tall guys with dark hair, olive skin and brown eyes. Doesn’t mean I’m attracted to every guy who fits that description. They can look like that and still not be my type.

If I put this on my profile, every guy who fitted that description would definitely kick off “but I look like that!!”

No I get that totally - I find myself attracted to different types of women and if you were to ask me what it is about them sometimes I couldn’t tell you, sometimes I could though…

If you don’t have any preference then that’s fine. But if you do, state it…

If women write a long list of what we're looking for, we get called high maintenance.

Also, attraction is subjective, someone may be tall and athletic and within my desired age rage but that doesn't guarantee that I'll be into him. Plus I'm just as easily put off by a status update, photos or certain pet peeves that may be in their profiles or message.

Status updates that contain the word nasty?

Its an easy way to filter out people if they don't have a selective and informative profile as you would like them to.

I must be your type?
