When we first joined we had our preferences, set to men and woman only. As we do like a MMF 3some, we thought we add change preference to include men.what a mistake to make. One line messages(one word in some cases),random friend requests, requests for meets when profile says we cannot do last minute.....In fairness a couple of good ones have got through and have been added to the to do list, but generally most of them were pillocks...Oh well a lesson learnt i think..Time to update our profile

Score one for idiots if this site ... Once again feeding the general negative opinion of single guys and making it continually difficult for decent genuine men to get anywhere on here.

Not all single men are idiots and it would be wrong to put you all in one basket, but unfortunately there are a few that ruin the reputation for the rest. We've had the same experience as the op so it wouldn't be their fault for giving a negative perspective about certain single guys.

If you were bombarded with unsavory messages from the same group of people, what would your perspective be like?

Not my experience, not at all (have a single f profile on another site too)

Suggest on here you always look for the guys yourself. Far higher success rate I find and you can browse, read the profiles yourself to find the right type.

"Score one for idiots if this site ... Once again feeding the general negative opinion of single guys and making it continually difficult for decent genuine men to get anywhere on here."

It isn't difficult for 'decent' and 'genuine' men. When they send crappy messages with spelling mistakes, grammatically incorrect, poorly punctuated, with no regard for what's in a profile and basically dire content, why should they be rewarded with sex? If they can't make an effort, they can fuck off. I don't meet men for sex, I'm talking about a female friend on here who showed me her messages. Happily, I was there to have sex with her. If all these men had tried a bit harder and put in a modicum of effort, they might have got a shag. They didn't, so they didn't - an elegantly simple cause and effect situation.

If men have well written profiles, have good photos, can write a well written message and have a personality and character, they will get sex a lot more easily than those who fail in one of more of these areas.

I'd treat each individual idiot as just that and move on up, of course, couples/females can on the odd occasion be arrogant and 'unsavoury' Honestly, does this really happen to the extent people say? If it did everyone would have all the monstrous men blocked or not be here at all.

More of a confession of state rather than an admission of guilt.

like i said a few were considerate and could talk about more than sex, and were added to the to do list. But unfortunately the majority do spoil it for the genuine ones. We do have sympathy for the genuine guys on here, but we do t have the time patience or inclination to deal with the wally brigade....

I suppose the question is where is the merit in posting a whinge? It does the good guys no favours as the comment is decisive and even if not the intention shows one group in a bad light, and the idiots will carry on regardless Im afraid, they're idiots afterall.

If you block and find your own men, you avoid the need for posting negatively and spreading negativity.

Voila!

Thanks for sharing. I think I'll keep my preferences to include single men though as the "pillocks" are easy enough to ignore/block. Maybe my pictures are so hideous though as I don't seem to suffer the inundation of messages on either this profile or our couples profile that you hear many moaning about. ... Unless the majority of guys maybe do read the profile? Either way, I'm happy

I only met single men, seldom had a problem so can't really share your negative view.

Thus

And it applies to both sexes!!

Anyone who very distinctly highlights that they are not your type very quickly is doing you a favour. Things are not strung out, for you to find out, when face to face, that they are just not for you. So you can almost thank them for being so honest and obvious.

I meet single men, don't rush into bed at the 'fancy a fuck' message receipt, but appreciate someone who 'gets me', rather than needing holes to fill. A bit of chat, banter and speaking on the phone filters things down to the right meets. This helps, especially if time is limited and can't meet at the drop of a hat.

I'm not suggesting all other men are idiots ... But a clear example here of how the few ruin it for the genuine, decent guys ... Even if some do/did get through, other genuine men now potentially miss out.

Not to mention, the OP's experience adds to negative light in which single men end up being held in

Not everybody thinks that the behaviour of some individuals represents the behaviour of all....Some of us have a bit of intelligence.

Having just checked out your profile (and arse I am totally jealous of) it's definitely not that you're hideous!

Therefore why some are inundated with 'fancy a fuck' and some of us aren't I can only guess. My single profile practically invites dirty banter but most blokes are polite and either say hi or comment on my probably too long profile.

Fancy a fuck has never even been said although been asked to Skype, thought it was a parachute based sport first time a bloke said it.

It certainly isn't confined to the blokes on here, probably just seems like it as that is the biggest portion of the site. I would say that it's proportionally similar the number of messages I get from couples and the occasional single fem where it's clear my profile hasn't been read...as for those sort of messages spoiling it for the genuine, decent folk; that's not the case for me otherwise I'd have blocked all single guys because of the "Fancy oral today?" message I received from a bloke this morning...(I didn't, so you gorgeous men can still message me )

I always go looking. I put something on my 'looking for' list every few months but get annoyed after a few days and take ot off again. Much easier to go looking for interesting people.

Yep, single women, tv's and couples can be arseholes too. That's why I don't have anything at all on my list. It's definitely not just single men that are odd.
