Hey fabbers. Im new of sorts to the site. Have been scrolling a little while trying to work it all out. I know im no 10/10 but a good 7 that looks after himself, clean, tidy, of a good size and yet anyone i have got in touch with hasn't even responded. Anyone with any clues, hints or instructions as to what i can changed or learn it would be much appreciated x

There’s no perfect working way to get a response here, we’re all different. Getting your personality across on a message is always difficult, my advice would be to seek out social events in your area and get yourself on the guest list, ive been far more successful doing that than messaging profiles on here.

To be honest the reality is, women and couples get swamped with offers and most aren’t actually looking to meet anyone.

Fab can be difficult - men often feel ignored, women swamped.

There's no guarantee. But if you make your profile as appealing as you can (good text and pictures), read and address profiles when you message, and respect people's preferences, you'll be doing better than a lot of men. (Messages with full sentences help. "Hi", "x", "wuu2" etc are little better than spam)

When you say you’re new to this, what do you mean? Swinging? Or casual? Or just sex in general lol.

Also, people talking about the gym would put me off, purely because it suggests that they’d be after someone who does/ looks the same and that’s not me. I’d suggest writing something about your “type” so people know if they’d meet your expectations.

I’d be careful with posting uniforms as well as a face pic. Unless you’re not actually a firefighter lol

Tbf you already have a clear face pic up. Remembering that you can't be attractive to everyone would be a good start. You will find your person eventually OP.

Well I can assure you that I also was not born yesterday.

I can only really speak for myself, but being helpful on the forums is just something of my nature, of which I'm confident there's plenty that are similar to me from speaking to several of them. People often try and take "helpful" as naivety though, something that anyone that knows me would not describe me as.

But through that digression the point I'm making is that deceit is fairly easy to spot for anyone who wants to open their eyes and look

Ok let’s see if I get away with this. I have always thought it meant along the lines of “granny I’d like to fuck” but I think the OP maybe didn’t realise it’s pretty much only for ‘females’ ie granny not grandad in common usage these days. I can already feel a timeout coming.

There are many factors at play when contacting someone and expecting a reply. People have to be interested, attracted, and having the time and space to reply. Many messages slip through the hundreds of messages net.

It can be quite disheartening as a single guy I guess.

Not that I think your advice is wrong or singling you out Sally, but I don't understand why so many people rarely advise in these posts (there's many) that the way to get your 'foot in the door' is not to treat this place like it's tindershag. This is something that judging from what OP has said here and in the profile he sees it as. From personal experience, you're infinitely more likely to get as the op said; interest, if you actually go to the swingers clubs...

I have friends that was badly injured risking their lives for people they don't know and 100% should be against the law like in america. There is nothing on my profile that is not even close to even bending the truth. This is me trying to learn the modern way of dating/hook ups. Take the pee all you want but manage 19 years with one person and see just how out of touch you too would be on the dating scene.

Fab is a brutal place for pretty much every guy on here.

Embrace the fact that you’ll only find a very VERY small percentage of people willing to meet you, and they’ll take a lot of finding.

We don’t know you, so write a profile that best reflects you. Use it as a shop window, dress it up nice and it may entice.

The "Nicest" replies don't mean it's helpful to the OP, being nice isn't necessarily honest either.

Still stand by that what I said that threads like this are usually a wild stab at somehow realising the site as tindershag, several other things have been said since that make this more evident. But then I know I'm cynical.

You are probably good enough in terms of being attractive and having complementary interests so you're not a failure who couldn't make it.

But there has to be that elusive spark that's perhaps just found with 1% of matching people and you also need to be top of the list, of the people that they are choosing from at that time.

When this isn't achieved, there's no response. And one can not make it happen. One can only do the best to show you at your clearest best, in all the places that the right people will be.
