Reading and Aberdare

I’m just wondering why Men here either can’t read or understand what they are reading?

Should I try in Welsh?

Use your filters and block men from messaging. It's the easiest way.

The ironic part of this thread is that your profile actually tells single men that their messages are welcome......

Restrictive how? By not letting men message which is what you want??

People put in their profile or a status saying no messages, yet leave filters open, and complain when people message.

You gotta laugh right.

I would say 75% of messages I get they blatantly have not read profile even to begin with let alone follow. Endless faceless messages. I am at stage where I can barely be bothered to open messages now, they sit there a while until I blast through and ignore. I really do not understand why they think they get anywhere with people?

Filters are the way forward!

The ability to read however, well that’s a debate on itself.

Or perhaps having the ability to read but not process what you have read if I was to be more pedantic.

Any how, I passed my last reading test…

Lots of pretty pictures is all I can remember

So based on that anyone who does message can read and comprehend completely.

Yep. Just came to say that you have a typo. Your profile says messages from single men are welcome.

So your profile states - copied & pasted "Single men, if we are interested we’ll contact you. By all means wink or fab our photos, but your messages are welcome at the moment"

How can you complain they can't read? You welcome their messages!

You've maybe got a typo going on their but they can infact read, you just can't read yourselves.

Hey OP.

Filters are great. Sure, it might mean you have to message first, make the effort to reach out but it'll also mean that you don't receive messages that have you starting threads like these.

Why not take control of your experience on here? Single men can still Fab your photos if that's important to you. They can reply to your messages. They just can't send you the initial. If I was unhappy enough to start a thread, I'd start employing filters.

Maybe because some men are just like some couples and some single females on Fab. Not reading profiles properly isn't isolated to just one group of Fab users, it's universal. Why this happens? Not a clue.

It's because so many of the 'other' users are naïve and see the world only from their own perspective imagining that other users are here for painstakingly long study, comparison and selection.

You’re either seeking men or you’re not

If you are actually seeking men then sadly due to the nature of this site you will receive messages from men you may not find desirable so you then have the option to delete and or block

Vague statements stating MEN can’t read is pretty contradictive after READING (not the city) your profile shock I’m a man and can read what are the chances

Thank you all for pointing these things out.

It’s refreshing to know there’s some fantastic intelligent articulate people out there.

I did prove my own point, some men can’t read (or read what they’ve written - that’s something quite different in a neurodivergent sense)

All these comments are welcome and far better than

Just “nice tits”

Understood but because you are looking for men you can’t filter individuals so if you get unwanted messages, as I say, delete and or block are your only options a filter as explained will potentially stop someone who could be suitable for your needs so it’s tricky but enjoy and good luck

Let's be fair here....it's not just men.

How many couples profiles on here also don't have the ability to read a profile before messaging.

It's a frustrating process, but very rewarding when you find the right people.
