"I agree it is rude - but as we know a lot of people just look at pics and dont read profiles before they send messages (its a shock I know). And more often than not the husband is nowhere to be seen...." Agreed. Don't moan about people only writing to the female of the couple when your profile pics pretty much exclude the male. If you're not sure how to present him apart from his cock entering you then take a look at the more successful single male profiles for examples of good pics. | |||

"Because they only want sex with the woman. The husband is just someone they have to put up with. " I wonder how far some 'straight' men will go in terms of bisexuality in order to secure a hetty shag. | |||

The profile is man's name first and first two pics are of the man's cock. | |||

"So, OP, as you say in your profile that you will initiate contact with single guys, do you in your initial message make it clear that they need to talk to you as a couple? Surely any ad-hoc nails from guys would just get binned anyway as they blatantly haven't read your profile to begin with!" when we in our normal life meet people the dont ignore one of us so why the hell shoulld we on here have to tell people that they need to address both of us and when we reply or initiate any message we ALWAYS add at the end rich n kirsty | |||

Lost count of the number of times we used to get the same message on our couples profile as Fox did on her solo one! | |||

"why do most men when inboxing us only address me kirsty its as if my hubby doesnt exist at all " not this worst thing in the world and can be telling don't actually complain about it.... but instead turn it into an advantage and use it as one of your selection processes.... if they don't acknowledge there are two of you... scrub them off the list... simple as! | |||

The profile is man's name first and first two pics are of the man's cock. " I should have made it clear I was referring in general to couples who say they have this problem but the OP's profile still proves my point. There are just pics of his cock. You don't need to imagine what would be said of a single man's profile that just contained cock pics. If you're on as a couple then pics should be displayed of the both you, not just giving an idea of her body type/looks and sweet FA about him apart from he has a penis. | |||

"so because you can only see his cock you can ignore him hmmm ok " not quite what I think he is saying.... without putting words in his mouth... but i think a lot of couples profiles use pictures of the women as "bait"... so you get a lot of profiles that have a lot of pictures of women but only one or two of men.... ... it doesn't always help the perception they are "equal partners" | |||

"so because you can only see his cock you can ignore him hmmm ok " No, I'm saying if you have pics of him and not just, what is only assumed to be, his cock there's less chance of him being ignored. | |||

"and we have pics that are only available to people on our friends list " The point Mr M (and I agree) is making is that showing more varied pics - full body, but not face - will give viewers a better idea of BOTH of you. It's not an excuse for only one of you being addresses - but the tendency for many couples to use the female as bait, or eye candy, to lure in viewers and messages does tend to result in the potential for less attention being paid to the male. | |||

"So when we are looking for guys only to join us they want to see pictures of the guy? More so its not seen as disrespectful to ignore the fact you are talking to a couple? " But you're not looking for guys only, are you? If and when you do then yes, juggle your pics accordingly. At the moment your profile states you are also seeking couples too. Do you expect the female half of another couple to contact you based on pics of your female half alone? | |||

"Regardless it is rude and aragont to ignore the fact it is a couples profile. That is the point what pictures are displayed does not matter. " but it does... would you meet someone without pics? i am only going to talk for me... but if i look for a couple, I want to feel as it both people have contributed... and I want to get a feel for both people!... the wording of the language is part of that... and pictures are another.... | |||

"Ours is a couples profile written by a woman from the female perspective mostly full of pictures of me So because of that I don't mind at all if initial messages are directed towards me,I get a mix of both,most are complimenting the pictures anyway,but if in subsequent messages where meeting up may be on the cards hes ignored then its going nowhere fast really,have to add that its not often the case though and the majority of men that I talk to are more than aware im part of a couple " That's fine, you're a couple who aren't looking for couples *I've triple checked * so pics of him aren't necessary. If the men continue to ignore the fact you have a partner when you've reached the stage of potentially meeting them then that's just ignorance. | |||

"we do go after what we want but that isnt the point we was trying to make its obv that some on here think its our own fault " I don't think anyone is saying it's entirely your fault. You posted asking a question regarding the actions of single men. Several have responded with suggestions as to why - not laying blame at any doorsteps. If you seek opinions - don't be surprised if some are not what you were expecting, or if some suggest that there are things you could possibly change/do differently to improve your situation. Single guys often post about messages being ignored. Single women often post about the lack of quality in messages. Couples often post similar complaints to yours. The guys get slated by most. The women get fawned over by males saying 'that's not me' - and the couples often get similar advice to that which has been given on this thread. It's not personal. | |||

"we do go after what we want but that isnt the point we was trying to make its obv that some on here think its our own fault " no one has said it is your fault entirely... but no one has said you are blameless either! sometimes you need to be able to look yourselves in the eye and ask "am i doing everything I can to help myself?" for example... if as you say you go after the people you want, then the selection process may need to be looked at... and the way you present yourselves may also need to be looked at... but a "victim mentality" isn't really sexy either.... | |||

"we do go after what we want but that isnt the point we was trying to make its obv that some on here think its our own fault " Not saying it's your fault at all. I was just suggesting a reason why they might just address the female half. It is actually very rude to just chat to the female in the couple. But it's pretty obvious why men do it. | |||

"Are these men that message you the male half of couples or single men? If you're not looking for single males at the moment as it says on your profile you can block them from messaging you,that would be some of your problem sorted " to be honest its not a prob we just ignore the ones that only address one of us we dont want to block all single men as sometimes they can catch us at the right moment and .... lol and theres some men on here we wont play with but have a bloody good natter to | |||

"ok so because of the way our profile is set out and the way our pics are and the way we present ourselves on this thread is an excuse to ingore one of us when sending a message what a load of ......" again you are twisting what people are saying..... YOU can actually help yourself to "Help yourself!!" it is not an excuse for people to do that at all!! but YOU have a part in the narrative in how YOU want to be perceived.. and people have suggested ways that YOU can help to come across as a couple better than you do at the moment | |||
