What's the best way to make contact? I know a lot of women don't like hi, how are you, and want some effort and usually you can work with what they put in there profile, but what if the profile doesn't give much away,

Try to be original without tearing the arse out of it:

Ie, I'd love to hammer your tunnel of love until you have my cum shooting out of your ears may be very original and anatomically impossible, but may not achieve your aim.

Yeah, sometimes when there's not much to work with the message you send looks like it's copy and pasted and that puts people off, I suppose it's pot luck,

I love messages (and I will always reply to those) which show that the other person has read my profile. Perhaps they pick up on something in my profile and say something funny....

I have stopped replying to messages which are clearly "cut and paste" or boring one liners - often the boring one liners come from profiles which also only state a boring one liner. To me this lacks imagination and therefore, chances are... we would not get on.

If there is not much information or written text on the profile then it can be hard to come up with stuff that can make you stand out, so give us something to work with ladies.

In fairness, this is to some degree the difference between male and female thinking. Often (not always) men write what they think ... and it is more or less overtly sexual and because they(Men) get turned on by this they believe women do, too.

Same with pictures : A picture which is sexy to a man is not necessarily appealing to a woman.

I guess the more successful guys on here try to be a bit in tune with what women like before writing their message... (God help them with that... )

Surely there was something in the profile to make you message in the first place so use that. Otherwise at least refer to it, ie.... You state you are looking for a fb but don't specify what kinda guy appeals to you, I'm ...blah blah blah... If I sound appealing to you please get in touch. And as someone else said, if you can incorporate humour its always a thumbs up from me.

What constitutes a thought out message?

A one sentence message can sometimes show that I have read your profile or do you expect a paragraph plus a full introduction?

This. Mention why you're messaging. It could be something in their profile text, status update or a photo. It's normally obvious to me when guys are messaging purely due to my photos and haven't bothered reading my profile. I find it acts as a filter of sorts. If there is no info at all to go on then I don't get why you'd message them in the first place.

Unfortunately, most options for single males are limited enough as it is! I don't mind sending a message but if I only get a one word answer back then shes clearly not worth the effort.

Just say whatever comes naturally to mind in that moment.

Some women don't even like a simple 'hello' 'hi' or 'how are you?' so you really never know what's going to work. So just click send and cross your fingers.

Either that or become a mind reader

We don't always spend our time around people that we like, so when we're choosing someone to be with from Fab, then we're going to be selective. For many of us our time is limited, what with kids, work, partners - add to that having a social meet, before a sexual meet, and it results in most of us having to play Inspector Clouseau with the information we have to hand.

Profiles are often almost devoid of anything that says other than that this next human specimen is human with a cock. Add that to a message that adds some bollocks into the mix, and it's hardly smacking of someone who's scintillating company.

Assume it's a given that if someone is on fab, and doesn't state they're not meeting at all, or meeting only socially, that they're interested in sex of some sort. Their profile may elaborate on particular sexual interests. If a mail only talks about a fuck on offer, then it's probably some wasted offer, falling on deaf ears.

So, assuming the searcher has something that makes them somewhat distinct from the rest of the species, consider elaborating upon it. Not so much that it's going to bore the pants off people, but enough that could whet appetites.

I think a lot of us want to know why you've chosen us to be your shags - assuming that we're not just one in a long list that you're writing to.

You could consider adding your availability, preferences for travel etc in brief too. It may or may not match the recipients, but if it's a match, then it at least ensures a good footing for continuation.

How we write - the differences between Shakespeare, Dickens, Wordsworth and Joe Bollocks, is a reflection on us and our personalities. Read what you've written before sending off to check that someone could be uplifted, amazed, pleased etc, rather than horrified, bored, sickened or feeling they're reading a tedious demand from another. Can a couple of paragraphs instil a feel for someone?? Check the forums and notice that they can, from a few of the posts up.

Some will check your profile before they really read your message: prepare for that eventuality. Great message, duff profile won't cut it, as well as your profile standing up as good as you are. The old expression about a sow's ear is valid too: there may be someone for everyone on fab but some peoples' personalties and looks will be more engaging than others. Stay realistic and confident about your chances and take personal responsibility for your results - don't blame others, including the recipients, if you don't do as well as you expect.

You have to read the profile and show interest!

I managed to write two paragraphs from a profile that only had xxx as a write up, the profile had 1 private pic but I managed to catch her attention for being creative with the xxx, and yeah, she is stunning

However, be creative, show them that you have a brain and know how to use it. The last thing a girl wants is to waste her time on a boring guy! boring in the head = boring in bed!

I am in no way a stud muffing like most guys on the site , but I feel like I am doing ok.

hang in, be polite, creative, respectful and flirty.

Many couples/female profiles want a face pic with first message and judge you on that followed by looking at your profile at the rest of the pictures.

Your opening message could be full of "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" - if your face and body meet the cut then you may well get a response.
