I'm I too young looking, for women?

This is more of a complaint than a question, but I’d like some insight. I’ve been messaging women on Swingersite, mostly local to Edinburgh, about meetups. Honestly, it’s been frustrating. Most of my messages get deleted without a response, and the rare replies I do get are often odd—some even end with things like "happy fapping," which makes me think they’re automated.

What is it about me that women on this site don’t like? Is it because I look too young? I’m not traditionally masculine enough? Should I just give up and come back in 30 years when I "look the part"? I’m 33 but often get told I look much younger—like 18 or early 20s. People say things like, “Oh, you’re cute, why are you single?” but that doesn’t help when I can’t connect with anyone here.

I’ve tried tweaking my profile. I even created a new one with a better name because I thought the old one wasn’t working. The messages I send are consistent with my interests and kinks, but I feel like I’m still not ticking anyone’s boxes. I see profiles looking for straight, single, preferably younger guys, and I wonder why I don’t fit that description for them.

To be honest, I struggle with writing messages. I’ve even had to use ChatGPT to help me draft them. They say online platforms like this are great for introverts, but what good is that if introverts (like me) don’t know how to start conversations with women—especially when they’ve never had much success doing so before? It’s pretty depressing.

At this point, I’m considering giving up. Maybe I’ll wait until I’m 50 and look “mature” enough to be taken seriously. It feels like women my age are looking for someone more traditionally manly or financially established, and I just don’t fit that mold. I’m quiet, well-mannered, and act mature for my age—but apparently, that’s not what people want.

As for clubs, I’m contemplating whether to check out the After Dark Club in Edinburgh. The entry fees are steep—£20 for membership and £40 for men—and it feels like a gamble. Maybe that’s why there are more men than women at these places. Is it even worth it?

Anyway, just thought I’d put this out there. I’d appreciate hearing any thoughts or advice.

You have only been here 4 weeks, that's nothing.

Look to get to an organised social, or a club.

There are no guarantees on anything

Yes for some people.

No for some people.

If you are relying purely on direct messaging to live the lifestyle then you will find it a struggle... most men will.

Compliment it by engaging on the forums, going to socials and events.

If Fab is affecting you personally, there is no harm taking a break and coming back into it fresh.

Sack off the ChatGPT and be yourself. You can’t be relying on that if you meet in person.

You do look too young for me op but as I could theoretically be your grandmother it's hardly surprising.

I think you're blaming your lack of success on things like age and financial stability etc when in all probability it's down to sheer weight of numbers.

If it's impacting you negatively step back and reassess your expectations.

Good luck

yes to some you'll look to young however you main problen is your a man and like most men on this scene you'll find it very hard ..men out number women / couples on this site by silly percentages and then add in attraction and that most people are not attracted to each other ..

swinging is a lifestyle not a free sex site so try and engage the lifestyle if you can but even then theres no guarantee you will get anywhere..

AfterDark is a friendly enough club. You have to be prepared to go out your way to start conversations and mingle with others though. If you’re quite an introverted person, a club may not be the best place for you and it’s not guaranteed you’ll get lucky.
