So just read a post saying about unread messages , a lot of the replies are saying women read profiles then don’t reply as more then likely not what they are looking for , so get me thinking what are a lot of the most common things women are looking for on here ??

"I'm gonna guess good hygiene and signs of sanity"
you forgot decent time keeping. According to West Country verifications that is what women want in a man.

I don’t think it’s cool to be on time. I like to play chicken on a meet. Who can turn up the latest is the vibe I’m searching for tbh

If you try to please everyone, you're going to end up pleasing no one.

The most common issues that I think afflict most profiles are a) insufficient profile text. Doesn't say anything about you other than you like sex. Give me a reason why I'd want to contact you ("I'm fun", "I'm better in person, promise", "good looking", "great cock" are all pretty passé). b) profile pictures don't make you look all that great. Serial killer scowl, vanilla picture with an emoji over the face, 5647 close ups of a penis in surround sound - it's not that attractive. c) whinging statuses. "Y u stuck up bitches no meet me" is a red flag.

As people say, your profile is your shop window - use it to appeal what *you've* got. (Back to "don't try to appeal to everyone" - if you're a butcher, you'll just confuse people if you put Colleen Hoover in your window)

It’s going to be individual.

The right age, a complete profile that doesn’t disgust you but instead shows some intelligence and effort, photos that you find attractive/hot, verifications that show what you need them to and perhaps some shared interests sexually.

You say that, but it used to be common for guys to say "I know what soap is" like it was some kind of flex.

I know what a submarine is. I've never used one.

I think people overestimate the power of a bizarre conversation starter. It's more likely to make people walk away. (I speak with considerable experience of bizarre messages here or elsewhere - of the options reply, delete, or block, I employ delete or block in response to the bizarre)

The vast majority don't know the difference. Intrigue is rare, irritation or concern is frequent. It's a risky strategy.

I can't speak for all women.

But show an interest in their profile - think about it more like an email than a chat message.

I'd say that at least 80% of attempts at "intriguing" manage to hit more in the region of "psycho", and you don't want to land there.

Common things that peak women's interest on fab (based on my flawed observation 👀) include...

Cake...Henry Cavill...sultry romance novels...Tom Hardy...Girls night out...Jason Momoa...more cake...men reading the damn bio...Not Andrew Tate...good food...sleep...Pedro Pascal...cuddles (preferably from pets)...sexy lingerie...men listening to women when they say what they want...cake again...

I’m always myself I don’t try and be someone I’m not , and it sounds like it’s rare on here which again I find crazy but if I message and I am lucky enough to get a reply if it’s sorry your not my type or whatever it’s cool I respect that and wish them happy fabbing all the best not going to pester or beg it’s weird

That's very normal on Fab. Even if you're doing all the right things (and these right things are my opinion, not law), men outnumber women by an enormous margin, and it's common not to reply if you're not interested (it's in the Fab FAQ).

I'd say that at least 80% of attempts at "intriguing" manage to hit more in the region of "psycho", and you don't want to land there.

Now this is an interesting one so when I read a profile I like I will send a message referencing something from that profile so they know I read it , also will say what I like from that profile , if it was funny , straight talking , same interest whatever but still very rarely do I get any reply’s

That's very normal on Fab. Even if you're doing all the right things (and these right things are my opinion, not law), men outnumber women by an enormous margin, and it's common not to reply if you're not interested (it's in the Fab FAQ)."

Oh i completely get that and it’s completely reasonable too , but then if there is so many different women looking for different things then wouldn’t law if average say someone would then r reply when in fact slim to none do so leads me to believe your all looking for the same kind of guy ??

The vast majority don't know the difference. Intrigue is rare, irritation or concern is frequent. It's a risky strategy.

"Someone who can read and does read profiles.

If they have shown they have read the profile does that get them a reply ? "

Nothing guarantees a reply. Absolutely nothing.

Some people reply based on attraction alone, or attraction plus profile.

You can't do anything to change if someone is attracted to you or not. But if "decent profile" and "decent message" are factors they consider, you *can* do something to change that.

But also we don’t owe any guys “a look in” 🤷🏼‍♀️ we can afford to be very fussy because a lot of us have what we want at home and are just looking to add extra sprinkles to a very delicious cake"

Yeah I completely get that , your very lucky to have the best of both worlds and have a partner you think that highly of it’s rare these days

Is there anything else lol 😂

You don't know any other forms of communication other than gimmicks, attempts to be intriguing, and being generic?

I think they are pretty much all of them no ? I mean I love to have a laugh and take the piss , I don’t take myself to seriously will take the piss out myself , I’m kind caring old skool values but they don’t know any of that until they start talking to me but can’t try and joke in a first message too risky can’t be safe and say hi how are you to boring and generic and if I try and be mysterious well I’m shit at that kind of thing anyway lol so yeah I’m fucked lol

"Hi, I'm X, and (stuff about you). I'm interested in your profile because (specifics). I really like (specifics). I thought you might be interested in me because (specifics), and I am also interested in (specifics)"

I mean, that's a bland structure and you might want to change it a bit, but if you actually add specifics in there that come from the profile and your own interests, it's no longer generic.

It's not that hard. (And no, it doesn't guarantee you a reply)

That’s my point this is what I have tried and do and nothing , I mean I’m not delusional I know I ain’t no oil painting but I thought a few more reply’s then what I do get would of been expected but I was very wrong lol that’s on me obviously completely get that

Low rates of reply are the norm here. Very low rates.

No technique will guarantee you a better reply rate. But generic screams "I'll fuck anything within fifty miles, I'm not sure if I care if you have a pulse". Intriguing/gimmick often screams "my carer had to nip to the loo and I shouldn't be unsupervised"

You have good humour I like it lol , yeah I get that it’s a lottery what one you use and if that person likes it or not just got to roll with it I guess lol ,

So I will ask the same question and I won’t be offended but do you find me attractive? "

As long as you're aware it's a risky strategy.

I don't answer those questions in public. I don't think it'd be right.

Would you like profile advice? Given that you know that most will look at it before replying.

Absolutely go for it "

Your tagline - we’re not all here for the same thing. Tell me what you’re actually here for or use that bit to be funny.

Make sure your age is your age. Either your profile text hasn’t been updated in a long time or you’re fibbing.

Both those things would put me off replying.

"I repeat again, decent human being *that I find attractive*

I’m not hiding it. You have to be both. I find a wide range of people attractive. 🤷‍♀️

Yeah of course it’s a fair statement and you have to be attracted to them , ok honestly I won’t be offended but do you find me attractive?

I would need to see a smile photo. I would need to have a better idea of body shape. To be very honest I struggle when a man is shorter than me. So I usually look for 5’8” or taller. But you have a nice face."

I really appreciate that thank you I guess I don’t smile because I hate my smile , body shape is not so much a six pack more a keg lol I’m a bigger guy hate my body too but im working on it and yeah I know most women prefer taller guys obviously not a lot I can do about that although it’s nice to see your only looking for 5ft 8 most look for 6ft so it’s better lol

"I’d just add men who actually turn up to meet, follow through to confirm they still want to meet and don’t runaway and hide because they’re scared they can’t handle a hot confident woman. I had 5 no shows in a row which was infuriating and totally disheartening. "

And this is what really annoys me they have been given a chance a lot of guys on here would give anything for and fuck it up it’s frustrating for someone like me who is genuine

You're trying to work out how to attract people. That's not my aim here, so different parameters apply.

Trying to get people to budge from their stated position - whether that's commenting on attractiveness, which I have not done, or whether that's "can I message you" - is a bold strategy, on a site where consent is such a vital concept.

C'mon ........ do you REALLY think that with the wide range of women here , they are all looking for similar types of men and expect the same type of sex ?

And if there were such common desires amongst women, would you list them on your profile like a smorgasbord , a wimmens trap ? and reel the poor li'l ladies in ? Tsk on you .....

I have to admit I mean coming from a males outlook I much prefer a sexy teasing pic on a woman’s profile not naked I like a sexy outfit , hold ups something that leaves your imagination running wild so I can understand your point about seeing just cocks lol
