"Difficult. I know some people simply give up on keeping on top of messages so unread just may mean missed. Some people just delete everything to get to inbox zero.

Although sometimes the first stays unread and is deleted because of we've seen enough in the summary to know there won't be compatibility.

"If you have messaged loads of people and got nothing back then your approach must is off. Maybe you need to look at a different way of going about it" Lol, I've varied the approach and different approaches have yielded different results! so no way of correlating the evidence into anything tangible! | |||

"If I'd messaged everyone I was interested with little to no success then I'd worry less about who to try next and wonder more why all the messages already sent had born no fruit? It's pointless focusing on message content and neglecting the important bit - your profile. Some people could send us a simple 'hi' and if their profile impressed us and appealed we'd reply. Others could send a detailed, well constructed message and it'll go unread as we view profiles long before opening a message. There's no point if the sender is the polar opposite of who we'd be interested in meeting. Focus on the things you can do to improve your chances, not the things that should come second. A" Thanks for the reply! So in my experience, only folks who view my profile are men, even women. Who reply rarely view it ?? | |||

If you message someone and they read it and don't reply. Give it a day as they might be busy. If no reply. DONT message again. Delete your message. They are not interested. Depends what your message says. Be nice. Start with, hello I'm ( your name) I like your profile and would love to hear back from you if your interested. Just keep one or two cock pics and keep others on friend only and state in profile that you can share pics on request. Yes, I know I've got more on mine but I don't approach first very often. People don't like pushy people. Once a contact is established then you can message more. Good luck | |||

Nobody knows when we perve....I mean 'view' a profile. But we do it 100% of the time before opening a message. And if there's nothing in there of interest we delete the message and often block too. It's the easiest way to work, guarantees there'll be no future approaches from them and saves time writing replies. A | |||

"Oh dear, I don't really think this thread is going to do you many favours OP. Try just taking a step back and think about what you're telling everyone on fab with your status and this thread. 'You've messaged everyone' Then you're mentioning about considering sending a second message. Your whole post screams of desperation. I really do wonder what your expectations of the site were when you joined. 1. Nobody owes you a reply. 2. No reply is to be taken as 'No thank you' - it's covered in site FAQs As others have said, sending a second message when you haven't received a reply to your first will just earn you a block. You've only been on fab for 3 months. Most single men don't get their first meet until they've been here for about a year. You are aware that single men outnumber the ladies by over 100 to 1. Think about how many messages women must get on here from people like yourself. Could you cope with a full inbox every day? People have lives outside of fab. Give them time. Be patient. " Lol, your probably right, it is possibly an expression of desperation, but not for the reason you think, I'm not desperate for meets or sex , despite what the assumption probably is, I'm desperate to understand the etiquette/ logic / process of how people view unread messages. I have a verified couples profile, and have experience the other side of the fence, but I only know our personal situation with regards to unopened messages, and as this thread has already shown, people's opinions are varied. My intent with this post wasn't to change my success rates, just to consider the best way to proceed! | |||

"Honestly, we wouldn’t be interested just because of the amount of dick pics on your profile. Yes we like a dick, but there are so many on here! Hope this helps" Would have to agree, to put it in perspective i get at least 15 messages every day from mens profiles who pictures are just cock pics. Thats me on a guys profile, now imagine the numbers couples/single females get daily. It gets boring after the first 20 profiles. Thats a good and fairly easy way to mix your profile up and make you stand out above the rest | |||

"Haha, I forgot about ninja mode ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() That's another issue then, you're married. I read every single msg, unless I can see from the preview that it's crude. I will reply if I'm remotely interested, or with some constructive criticism of I think they have some promise. Otherwise it's a no. But I also delete all the messages. | |||

"Haha, I forgot about ninja mode ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Well thanks for the insight! I may have a dick pick, but I am a person behind the dick pick haha. And yes, I'm married and have a couples profile, and have done meets, but we are trying solo profiles, and yeah, much different experience this side of the fence. It's brutal honestly lol , I don't think there's one approach that works for everyone, and when you study a profile, and tailor your advances to that person , and still come up empty 9 times out of 10, I do see why people start to be lackluster with their efforts. Still, this has been very insightful and enlightening! | |||

"Having an unwrapped cock having sex would be an instant delete from me and anyone who cares about their sexual health. Even when it's.my wife? ![]() If you have a couples profile on here, verified and you've met from that - then put the profile name on your solo profile so people can reference it. Many couples play separately and do just that so that people can be sure it's the truth. Many single people claim to have had successful previous profiles, say they're part of a couple on here and that they are returning members and that they had elevtybillion veris on their old now deleted profile. All without a shred of evidence. Seeing is believing. Otherwise it's just words on a page. A | |||
