Hi, just looking for a little advice, I am ideally looking for a woman FWB in my area, Northamptonshire. I've messaged a number of ladies that catch my eye but almost never get a response. I am always polite and try to be interesting so don't really understand as alot of the ladies say they are looking for similar arrangements as me. Is my profile turning people off? Any advice would be appreciated

Have you messaged all the 18-99 year olds

I don’t think anyone can answer this without knowing what your first messages are

From a profile point of view, it says very little, highlights are you’ll meet 18-99 year olds, message everyone in your area (so it’s a numbers game) and you can’t accommodate

This

Also not much on there, us men have to sell ourselves on our profile (not like that you perverts, stop giggling).

If you don't have anything on your profile and you're trying to attract women with pics only you need to remember women tend to get turned on in their mind rather than looking at pics. So you're profile is pretty empty that's where I'd start.

Let people know who you are, also don't expect women to make the first move as most don't.

OP,

A) Have you searched the forum for threads on profile advice? There are more threads than people on fab so that will give you some pointers.

B) Have you looked at the profiles of successful men?

You say here you’re after a fwb but your status says you’re after a quick fuck. Way to make a woman feel special.

Three pictures of you striking a weird one arm muscle pose and a close up of the old chap standing to attention is not a good selection.

One line in your bio about a lady indulging her ‘naughty’ side (lots of people hate that euphemism) tells us nothing about you.

I could go on but there’s a few easy things to address.

All people interact differently and also differently at different points during the day and week

There is no one stop solution for receiving messages and people need to stop thinking there is

Be yourself, interact, remember the forums are a small percentage of the site, don’t use here as a primary way of meeting people

What are you looking for? Specifically, not fun and games, that tells me nothing.

What do you offer?

Your profile should leave me with a sense of your personality and what you want from Fab so I can gauge if you’re what I’m looking for and if I’m what you’re looking for.

You can’t accommodate, which is a red flag as it basically means you’re married. You don’t really say anything about yourself either. There are thousands of men looking for the same thing as you, if you don’t stand out you’ll have no chance.

I'd disagree with the can't accommodate thing, plenty of people don't won't others in their homes. I see not accommodating as having some common sense.

Does becoming a fwb happen in the first instance? I tried to find one on that basis with it in my profile and obviously this is coming from a woman perspective but I find alot of men saw that and just used it as an excuse to try and meet me and then never see me again or not fully understood there was a difference between fuck buddy and friends with benefits.

I think a fwb scenario probably happens over the course of a few meets instead of "I've met you once, now we are fwb".

That's just my experience with that side of it, maybe some ladies do read you profile and have had the same experience? As others have said, writing more on your profile might help?

Also, I'll have a burger.

Relax a bit.

Definitely go to a club if you can. Think of it as going into a pub you don't know. It can be intimidating at first but you can sometimes take your own booze and it'll be cheaper than a pub overall. You'll get to chat with lots of different people who will introduce you to their friends also. Get your face known and you'll build trust. You could even ask some of them to take some photos for your profile. It takes time.

It’s a heuristic thing for us, just makes it easier to sort through the messages. There are certainly people who can’t, or won’t, accommodate for various reasons but when you are wading through a load of emails you need a way to thin out the numbers. We can understand why a single woman might not want to let a man into her home but less so for men.

It's reasonable to expect that most people will not be attracted to most other people. This would be a realistic expectation.

This most messages won't get a reply, as this means 'no thanks'.

It's tougher for single men here, so they need to ensure that they are selling themselves at least as well as equivalent men. Think less about what you want and more about what you are giving, when you are communicating yourself to others

Look around at the local competition, comparing how well they are doing, with yourself. A quick search should pull up quite a lot of men who want the same. Rate them and do it better

Wait what? Why would it be less so for a man? Why would a man not have a sense of privacy and only allow people they trust in their house? Men are not immune to crazy female stalkers, or women with dangerous dark desires...why would anyone (man or woman) allow someone they only met for a social once, in their house, is beyond risky. The whole "can't accommodate = married" is just ignorant 🙄

This is one of the glaring double standards on fab where a woman will more likely be given a pass or receive sympathy for the same thing as opposed to a man.

That's a complete load of bollocks. Many men are single fathers who have children at home. I can't accommodate because I share a house with family and there are numerous other reasons why people can't or won't accommodate. People seem to jump to this conclusion with single men. I never see the same judgement when it comes to single women.

Perhaps the OP's home is his safe place and his sanctuary, for whatever reason.

OP, just change it from cannot accommodate to simply "accommodate". That doesn't necessarily mean that you ·will· accommodate. It's still your prerogative to refuse. Alternatively you can potentially 'accommodate' at a hotel of your choice.

Why should "accommodate" refer to one's abode?

Absolutely true, and people can choose not to meet people who can’t accommodate because the potential hassle that comes with meeting a married person just isn’t worth it, for us at least.
