There are too many rude people on here who don't reply to my messages!

It's not rude not to reply.

Some ladies and couples get hundreds of messages a day so it simply isn't possible for them to reply to everyone. If you don't get a response, you can safely assume they aren't interested. If you're getting a lot of "no-replies" then you should consider your profile and the messages you send. Are they giving the right message? Are you standing out from the thousands of other guys on here?

there are lots of threads on this subject daily, so you may not get any answers.....but read the above comments that you can find from Admin on the FAQ

If your getting frustrated your on the wrong site.

The only real answer is, don't send out messages then, get a good detailed profile and wait on people messaging you.

Ten messages?

Complaining's never good but at least give it 3 months and 100 messages.

I know exactly what you mean Paul. It's the same scenario with me. I'm very respectful when i message anyone. Always send a tasteful pic with them. Don't stalk them when they don't reply yet 9 times out of 10 they are just deleted. And this is even after i say 'tell me if you're not interested and I won't bother you again'. I bet if we were to do the opposite with our messages we would get a response.

When you get junk mail though your letterbox, do you write back to them and say, "No thanks" ?

In all honesty, never expect a reply and you won't go far wrong, although the OP's profile is probably whats letting him down, its a bit confusing, as well as hinting he's looking for cheating ladies

I'm not one to moan if i don't hear what i want to hear. I'm not that type of man. I understand that i won't be everyones taste. I would rather hear 'no thanks' than nothing at all!

I suggest you make your profile more interesting it might help. Your pic is also very blurry. It could take months for you to get a meet. You just need to wait.

There really is nothing special in your profile to make you stand out against the other ten billion males. It's badly written, has no info and just is not interesting.

haha nice reply,

Ive been part of a cpl on another site a few years ago and our inbox would fill up faster than we could empty it, most of the time we would look at their profile before we even open the mail and if they were not what we were looking for we would just delete the message without reading it. we didnt want to be rude but we just didnt have the time to go through them all.

its abit of a shock now im single the only thing filling my inbox is cobwebs lol

Having looked at your photos. Well, tbh, you've got two identical pictures up there which look like they've been taken in a squalid bedsit somewhere.

Ask yourself, "If someone sent you a photo like the ones you have, would you want to meet them?"

Have a read of this:

Says you are looking for women only between ages of 18-45... So is near enough everyone else on here so you really do meed your profile to stand out from the other thousands of peoples also looking for single women.

Assuming you are not trying to punch above your weight and bag a real babe...

Try walking up to 10 random women in a pub and ask them if they are interested in a shag.... see how many say yes.

You may not be typing "do you fancy a shag" in your messages... but let's not try and fool anyone here, we all know 'why' the message is being send, no matter how it is worded.

10 messages and moaning about no replies.... implies a fair bit about where your expectations sit regarding women on swinging sites.

Yep… Paul, hate to knock another nail in the coffin but I totally agree with the others, your profile is bland, boring and there isn’t much point in crap pictures never mind two identical crap pictures.

However, IF… IF… IF… you fitted our criteria (which you don’t) you would definitely get a reply and I dare say the chances are the same would apply to everyone else.

Ask yourself this question… IF I am what these people I am messaging seek why would they not reply? Why do you think they are on this site? They are here seeking what THEY WANT and it seems so far you are not it. Accept the fact and move on and if possible expand your criteria, the more limitations you impose so your market place reduces.

One last thing, your profile looks more like the type one would find on a dating site, this is a swingers site and not quite the same thing.

To be honest your profile isn't doing you any favours, in particular the photos ..

Firstly you have 2 photos, both of them are exactly the same and neither of them are favourable ...

Get some decent information into your profile and for heavens sake delete those pics that look as though they were shot in an overnight vagrant shelter ..

think maybe you could hit one in ten if you above all read the profile - some people have blocks on single men for example and couldn't even reply if they knew you had messaged them. The most important thing is read between the lines and like life there are lots of people you won't get on with and plenty you will so talk to the person or people rather than making a bland remark - the brain after all is the clincher.

As the above posters have said, put some work into your profile and give it some time, it ill reap rewards in the long run.

I'm sure you're a nice guy, and better than many on here.

But to be honest, in your pics you look like Rigsby.

And you look like you're living in one of Rigsby's squalid flats.

Get the camera and head out to the local park on a sunny day. (not for the cock shots though...)

Better pictures all the way is what i would advise. When i added more and started sending them out with a personal message it got so much easier.

"When you get junk mail though your letterbox, do you write back to them and say, "No thanks" ? "

having taken the time to read the profile and determined i meet what is requested both in interests and preferences.

composing a respectful message, with pics if asked for.

to have that described as 'junk mail' is pretty annoying

I think that is the point... you have to stand out in some sort of way...

be that contributing to the forums, or taking time and thinking about what you put in a profile... or going to socials... or going into the chatroom and just getting yourself known...

to the OP....and the other people who complain about getting not getting replies...

if you know there are hundreds of people out there.... look at your own ads..... how does yours stand out??

hand on heart... would you answer your own ad?

I'll tell you what you're doing wrong...you're a single male!

Fact is, there's lots of us, this is not a place to look for an easy shag.

So accept that, maybe use the site for the forums, chatrooms first and lastly to try and meet, don't take things personally and have some fun looking and talking. You'll eventually find someone who'll like to meet you.
