Am I wrong or is normal?

Does it happen to anyone else to not make the first move or send the first message because some profiles look so good that you think there's little chance they'll reply?

Ps: Even if is a civilised message and face pic attached.

If I made any grammatical mistakes, I apologize.

The chances of a reply on here for me personally have been a solid 0.5 percent successful so generally I just can't be assed these days to try and perve silently like the voyeur I am 😘

In my experience everyone has a thing that they are looking for and it is always different - you can never tell what someone is actually into until you ask. You will often find you are that thing. Just because someone takes a good photo and is “hot” doesn’t mean that they wouldn’t want you.

If I like the look of the profile, I will message first, I've nothing to lose in doing so. To stop yourself wondering after you've sent the message, delete your sent box..that way you won't know if they've read it or not x

I don’t message first anymore, simply because I don’t have the energy to write out a message and it get lost amongst 100+ other messages.

So just stick around in the forums.

I enjoy writing (Ailsa doesn’t) and the occasional first message we send is always on me to write. I see it as a challenge - and it’s quite fun to figure what to say based on a profile. It doesn’t make a huge difference if we don’t get a response - mostly we don’t.

Couple of points here, if I may.

- I (Mash) have always tried to punch above my weight. I learnt in my mid teens that the best looking girls were often not chatted up, as every lad thought that the girl was out of their league. Consequently, they appreciated any attention, even from a twat like myself. I carried this on into adult life, with similar positive results.

- You will be surprised how few messages people receive. (Some on here might receive hundreds a day, most do not). If you craft a message that shows you have read and understood the recipient’s profile, and you have something that will meet their stated requirements, you will have a better chance of a response. This seems like stating the obvious, you’d be surprised how many of the people sending messages don’t understand this.

- Most importantly, if someone thinks they are “above you”, then they are not worth knowing, no matter how physically attractive they might be.

I've never subscribed to anyone being "too good for me" or "out of my league" mantra.

If I like a profile, I will reach out and contact them. They'll either respond or ignore/delete the message.

Some people will not find you attractive and that's okay. Life goes on.

What's classed as setting the bar high? Most women just want attraction.

If you don't send a message do you honestly think she's gonna send one ?... Maybe some do but in the big picture l'd say they don't , they're too busy with the rest of the messages

This is true even if is not me. I always read profiles to bottom because I thing this is the first way to know them better and always my messages were civilised and no organs pics just face. Maybe I have some issues on my English grammar but I do my best to improve as English is not my first language.

I don’t think there’s anyone on fab I would not message because I think- ‘oh they’re too attractive to be into me.’

But there are people I think- ‘there’s no chance I’m their type.’ I still message them though. Because clearly I enjoy rejection.

quite right, but still doesn't stop us looking at someone and thinking "jeez, they're one of the beautiful people"! Tbh, that'd almost certainly mean they'd be put of our interest too

"

I did approach and I was approached, I didn't say I never did it. Regarding my opinion about really good profiles- maybe because of my submissive makes me think like- Gosh she/he/they look so beautiful I don't think someone like me can be the cup of tea that they like.

Maybe I should stop writing so I don't end up embarrassing myself."

I think most people would reply to a well written first message and it doesn’t need to be a novel. And if they don’t reply just block them so you don’t waste your time messaging them again I wouldn’t say anyone looks to good to message tho
