First time for me,so i was wondering why do couples and females in there profiles insist on telling you not to start a conversation with"hi,hiya or how are you,or some other short way of letting them know you are there,i mean if they where in a club/pub and someone came over to them would they expect a full page conversation straight away or a polite"hi how are you or the famous Joey line even"how you doin lol,just sayin like

Competition amongst single men on here is so high, that you have to make yourself stand out. If you can't be bothered to put in a little more effort than just a few words, then I'm afraid you won't get noticed. It's all about first impressions. A man needs to prove to me he has taken the time to read my profile and make his opening message to me personal, otherwise I don't even bother checking out his profile, I'll just delete.

And that's maybe why you have no verifications yet after being here for 4 months.

I agree with playful minx

Are you only sending "hi" or are you actually speaking to us like human beings rather than a piece of meat?

I will generally reply to all that send me a polite/funny/original message.

You need to be different

Why would it collapse ? There are still plenty of couples and females to more than keep it going

given the crude and ridiculous messages lots of men send , i see nothing wrong at all with a pleasant 'hi, how are you?' at all..i always check out a profile before even opening a message, and if that appeals, and their criteria are similar to mine, then i'll happily respond...don't need an initial essay,nothing wrong with a polite ice breaker at all...

Totally agree and understand about competition being high on here,but surely a polite"how do you do"is a ice breaker rather than reams of bullshit from a guy you have never met,and most defo has never approached a female without a simple"hi my names Dave how do you do".Being single is hard enough on here just on its own and you want to challenge us from the off haha x

If you walk up to someone in person and say hi the introduction is more than just what you say, they can see your face, your build, the way you carry yourself, your confidence.

Women receive literally hundreds of messages a day and when all they see is "hi there" and a blurry picture of a cock or a tattoo as a profile pic then it's inevitable that it may get lost in the deluge of identical messages.

The irony of this post is that rhe man will inevitably be judged as a peice of meat by whoever he messages.

Op 99% of the time on here unless you get the perfect line for the person your entire approach is judged purely on the first impression of your looks.

All the "dont just say hi" or any other rule or bollocks goes right out the window if they fancy you.

And if they dont it doesnt matter if you wrote a message worthy of Oscar wilde you're still not getting laid.

So send a simple polite message, use anything on thier profile thats relevant to start a conversation (although women/couples rarely have anything as an ice breaker on thier profile) and attach your pics.

If they fancy you they'll reply if they don't they wont.

They can ask whatever they want to.

You can ignore them, by not messaging at all or sending them whatever you wish to.

Imagine who gets the most success.

The problem is that most of the messages that come in are "hi how are you" and we've no idea if our profile has been read, if they suit our needs etc. When someone messages to say "hi I'm x and I see that you like x, so do I, I also do x y and z which may be of interest to you too." Then we are way more likely to pay their message more attention than the endless 'hi' ones

I never go purely on looks at all, a man has to prove he has an attractive personality too for me to feel attracted to him. So you're theory is wrong where I'm concerned. I can't speak for other women of course.

A lot of it is luck, if your message gets spotted and you match what they're looking for. Women pretty much have their pick of guys on here so it is difficult.

Personally I've found the forums a great place to get myself some exposure, join in the banter and show your personality. It's working for me so far!

I'm posting daily on the forums and getting involved not had much interaction but getting gradually noticed!! At the end of the day it's a tough gig! I'm gonna go to a club in the near future and try that side of things before I decide to give it up.

Your profile is a little brief, maybe add a bit more about yourself? I tend to find that if I flirt on the forums unless they're in stealth mode I'll see a few women look at my profile and possibly send me the first message. I by no means have an amazing profile myself but I have had lovely comments about it being well written and interesting. Just a thought

Right there where you said "too"

An attractive personality "too".

So you your initial judgment is still the look witty message isnt changing thier face.

But " hi how are you" doesn't stand out, it won't get you noticed in amongst loads of other "hi' .

"First time for me,so i was wondering why do couples and females in there profiles insist on telling you not to start a conversation with"hi,hiya or how are you,or some other short way of letting them know you are there,i mean if they where in a club/pub and someone came over to them would they expect a full page conversation straight away or a polite"hi how are you or the famous Joey line even"how you doin lol,just sayin like

If you walk up to someone in person and say hi the introduction is more than just what you say, they can see your face, your build, the way you carry yourself, your confidence.

Women receive literally hundreds of messages a day and when all they see is "hi there" and a blurry picture of a cock or a tattoo as a profile pic then it's inevitable that it may get lost in the deluge of identical messages.

I've sent both types of messages and got no where and I do think a lot of it comes down to luck. Every time I read one of these type of threads it can have a different answer as in not the best photos, not correct verifications or been on along time with no verification

A lot of it is luck, if your message gets spotted and you match what they're looking for. Women pretty much have their pick of guys on here so it is difficult.

Personally I've found the forums a great place to get myself some exposure, join in the banter and show your personality. It's working for me so far!

I'm posting daily on the forums and getting involved not had much interaction but getting gradually noticed!! At the end of the day it's a tough gig! I'm gonna go to a club in the near future and try that side of things before I decide to give it up.

Your profile is a little brief, maybe add a bit more about yourself? I tend to find that if I flirt on the forums unless they're in stealth mode I'll see a few women look at my profile and possibly send me the first message. I by no means have an amazing profile myself but I have had lovely comments about it being well written and interesting. Just a thought "

Your profile is very good with good photos too, I'll definitely do need to do a bit more with my profile.

"I agree with playful minx

Are you only sending "hi" or are you actually speaking to us like human beings rather than a piece of meat?

I will generally reply to all that send me a polite/funny/original message.

You need to be different

The irony of this post is that rhe man will inevitably be judged as a peice of meat by whoever he messages.

Op 99% of the time on here unless you get the perfect line for the person your entire approach is judged purely on the first impression of your looks.

All the "dont just say hi" or any other rule or bollocks goes right out the window if they fancy you.

And if they dont it doesnt matter if you wrote a message worthy of Oscar wilde you're still not getting laid.

So send a simple polite message, use anything on thier profile thats relevant to start a conversation (although women/couples rarely have anything as an ice breaker on thier profile) and attach your pics.

If they fancy you they'll reply if they don't they wont.

I never go purely on looks at all, a man has to prove he has an attractive personality too for me to feel attracted to him. So you're theory is wrong where I'm concerned. I can't speak for other women of course.

Actually no you just proved it correct.

Right there where you said "too"

An attractive personality "too".

So you your initial judgment is still the look witty message isnt changing thier face.

But looks will get a conversation startes."

So how comes my current FB's profile doesn't even have a profile picture? It was his message that attracted me.

Any self respecting man wouldn't allow himself to be dictated to in order to get a shag. The only messages these needy and unrealistic profiles receive are the ones they deserve

No he didn't. We chatted for a while, then once I knew I liked his personality, we swopped face pictures. I never send my face picture out either straight away, as I appreciate a man who wants me for my personality too.

Ah that pretty refreshing to hear something like that, gives a bit of hope. I wrote a message the other day that was polite detailed and personal to her profile and I giggles at a couple of jokes I added too. It was deleted and not even sure it was read.

Fair enough , your profile doesn't suggest you would ask people unrealistic demands that's why your probably enjoying the site and getting to meet people you want

And if they dont it doesnt matter if you wrote a message worthy of Oscar wilde you're still not getting laid.

So send a simple polite message, use anything on thier profile thats relevant to start a conversation (although women/couples rarely have anything as an ice breaker on thier profile) and attach your pics.

If they fancy you they'll reply if they don't they wont.

I never go purely on looks at all, a man has to prove he has an attractive personality too for me to feel attracted to him. So you're theory is wrong where I'm concerned. I can't speak for other women of course.

Actually no you just proved it correct.

Right there where you said "too"

An attractive personality "too".

So you your initial judgment is still the look witty message isnt changing thier face.

But looks will get a conversation startes.So how comes my current FB's profile doesn't even have a profile picture? It was his message that attracted me.

Did he attach photos with his initial message? No having a go just curious

No he didn't. We chatted for a while, then once I knew I liked his personality, we swopped face pictures. I never send my face picture out either straight away, as I appreciate a man who wants me for my personality too.

And didn't read your profile

He did read my profile and the fact he apologised for not attaching a face picture with his first message, proved to me he had read it to the end

Ah, so in reality we can't win? "

Win at what ? I didn't realise we were playing a game ?

Are you only sending "hi" or are you actually speaking to us like human beings rather than a piece of meat?

I will generally reply to all that send me a polite/funny/original message.

You need to be different

If your so happily married and only on here because of a break down in your sex life with hubby seems odd that youre looking for so much more than fuck and go?

So if he turned out to be minging he would still be your FB?? These unrealistic expectation for men on here to jump through hoops and 'make more of an effort ' to meet people are beyond a joke . Any self respecting man wouldn't allow himself to be dictated to in order to get a shag. The only messages these needy and unrealistic profiles receive are the ones they deserve

I've never expected a man to jump through hoops for me, that would be very unappealing to me if a man was willing to do that just for sex.

Fair enough , your profile doesn't suggest you would ask people unrealistic demands that's why your probably enjoying the site and getting to meet people you want "

Loving the site,thank you

Anyway, back to the original thread purpose, OP, you have had a few successful meets so you're obviously doing something right. So I would suggest you keep doing what you've been doing. A little humour (not a crap joke) in a first message never goes amiss with me...have you heard the saying about laughing a girl into bed

I'm assuming because you don't appeal to them for whatever reason. We all can't find everyone attractive, that would just be a weird old world

One of my friends showed my her fab inbox, 950 unread messages, another one regularly has around 500. They really do get that many, if they were to reply to every single one they'd be there all day as the messages keep coming.

"First time for me,so i was wondering why do couples and females in there profiles insist on telling you not to start a conversation with"hi,hiya or how are you,or some other short way of letting them know you are there,i mean if they where in a club/pub and someone came over to them would they expect a full page conversation straight away or a polite"hi how are you or the famous Joey line even"how you doin lol,just sayin like

given the crude and ridiculous messages lots of men send , i see nothing wrong at all with a pleasant 'hi, how are you?' at all..i always check out a profile before even opening a message, and if that appeals, and their criteria are similar to mine, then i'll happily respond...don't need an initial essay,nothing wrong with a polite ice breaker at all..."

Totally agree! A good profile will always work wonders. And also I don't get the mythical 100's of messages a day!! So if your profile is good then I will most likely respond.

If they fancy you they'll reply if they don't they wont.

I never go purely on looks at all, a man has to prove he has an attractive personality too for me to feel attracted to him. So you're theory is wrong where I'm concerned. I can't speak for other women of course.

Actually no you just proved it correct.

Right there where you said "too"

An attractive personality "too".

So you your initial judgment is still the look witty message isnt changing thier face.

But looks will get a conversation startes.So how comes my current FB's profile doesn't even have a profile picture? It was his message that attracted me.

Did he attach photos with his initial message? No having a go just curious

No he didn't. We chatted for a while, then once I knew I liked his personality, we swopped face pictures. I never send my face picture out either straight away, as I appreciate a man who wants me for my personality too.

Ah that pretty refreshing to hear something like that, gives a bit of hope. I wrote a message the other day that was polite detailed and personal to her profile and I giggles at a couple of jokes I added too. It was deleted and not even sure it was read.

This the normal way it goes on here unfortunately.. I don't buy this I get thousands of messages.. It's only courteous to reply with a thanks but no thanks.. Ignorance..

One of my friends showed my her fab inbox, 950 unread messages, another one regularly has around 500. They really do get that many, if they were to reply to every single one they'd be there all day as the messages keep coming."

I'll respond to a "hi, how are you" message but only after looking at the profile. If there's no pictures and no information then I'll just delete the message because if not you just message someone for an hour then realise they're not your type and politely decline their offer of a meet only to be called a fat slag.

I'll answer "hi" if it's a good profile and they're attractive. They don't usually go together though - "hi" messages are often from the profiles that say "fill in later" and have one shady cock pic.

True story I never complain about 'Hi there' messages because I understand it's a difficult place for most guys. Having said that, an intelligent or witty comment on my profile or status is far more likely to get a response out of me. There's lots of good bodies on here - there's a shortage of wit and charm!!

Exactly - instant connect. Men need to understand that expressing full-on lust before a woman has given them 'buying signals' can be very off-putting, flattery is usually dismissed as insincere (because sadly it usually is) but wit and charm can instantly make a connection, and that's what many if not most women are looking for I believe.

I am not interested in the fact that a man wants sex, I want the man that wants ME.

I don't get hundreds of messages a day..maybe half a dozen. But then I have filters and am not a photo whore either.

I respond to opening messages "if" they fit my requirements or make me laugh 'with' rather than 'at' them.

I don't see why I should bother with those that cba to read my profile- that's their lookout.

When you approach someone out in the real world there is much more than just hi how are you? You have body language and other non verbal communication. You don't have this on fab so you need to say more in your opening message to spark an interest.

If you walk up to someone in person and say hi the introduction is more than just what you say, they can see your face, your build, the way you carry yourself, your confidence.

Women receive literally hundreds of messages a day and when all they see is "hi there" and a blurry picture of a cock or a tattoo as a profile pic then it's inevitable that it may get lost in the deluge of identical messages.

I've sent both types of messages and got no where and I do think a lot of it comes down to luck. Every time I read one of these type of threads it can have a different answer as in not the best photos, not correct verifications or been on along time with no verification

A lot of it is luck, if your message gets spotted and you match what they're looking for. Women pretty much have their pick of guys on here so it is difficult.

Personally I've found the forums a great place to get myself some exposure, join in the banter and show your personality. It's working for me so far!

I'm posting daily on the forums and getting involved not had much interaction but getting gradually noticed!! At the end of the day it's a tough gig! I'm gonna go to a club in the near future and try that side of things before I decide to give it up.

Your profile is a little brief, maybe add a bit more about yourself? I tend to find that if I flirt on the forums unless they're in stealth mode I'll see a few women look at my profile and possibly send me the first message. I by no means have an amazing profile myself but I have had lovely comments about it being well written and interesting. Just a thought "

I can appreciate some of the sentiments being expressed - but as much as some people want to feel engaged as individuals (and not just blanket emailed) a this is something which requires give and take.

Maybe its just me (and possibly the reason I don't meet much off here) but if Im engaged in email conversation with someone, I want to feel that its a two way street. If I get to feel I'm doing all the work in what is rapidly becoming a one sided conversation (because the replies are lazy, monosyllabic etc) then I just lose interest and stop emailing.

If there is an expectation that someone should engage you, you have to be engaging back. Because watching some poor sod do all the work - and keep doing it - marks, to my mind, a lack of respect and desperation just as much as sending out a hundred 'FAF' messages and hoping for a response.

Having more than just generic crap on a profile helps (and thats true of whomever you are). How the hell anyone is supposed to craft a personal response or engaging opening message when a profile just says 'Im a 32 year old woman and Im here to meet men'? Yes its an extreme example, but looking to your own profile may help in getting better responses - single males are told this day in and day out. Well its true of everyone. Or just acknowledge that you just want to see the package and make a physically based judgement - there's not shame in it, just don't hid behind the pretence of wanting something more intellectual!

Some would argue - well that's just how it is, but only if its allowed to perpetuate.

Its a shame (than generally) people aren't treated as equals (until they are allowed to prove otherwise) and held to an equal standards. I think there's a huge amount of self respect in doing so - and if that gets me one meet every five years so be it - but Ill be damned if I'll compromise myself for a meet.

I see a lot of messages guys send ladies as my friend on here shows me some she receives and so I can totally understand where all the do's and don'ts come from and why most messages go unread or deleted as some of the crap guys send is unbelievable.

On the flip side even if you tailor each message specifically to the profile you are messaging and construct it carefully to be appealing and honest and friendly it usually makes naff all difference. If it did then guys would do it as it would get results. Yes you may get the odd reply you otherwise wouldn't have but it's still a very very low response rate, I know from experience!

A guy's time is better spent sending a high number of messages with little investment of time to each and just play the numbers game. They may not be the type of messages some ladies want to receive but that's a different thing to what is the most efficient use of a guys time.

Personally I don't send many first messages at all, it seems fairly pointless. I will message if someone shows any sort of interest or in response to forum posts ect but I generally find other features of the site better for attracting attention than an unsolicited "hello" message.

It is quite simple really OP. They get many more messages than us single chaps. Can you just imagine an inbox with 100 messages that all say nothing but 'Hi'.

Why do people treat messages like a face to face conversation?

It's not as if there is a character limit like on twitter.

Let's make a comparison here. What if you were writing a letter to someone. Would you go to all the trouble of sitting down with pen and paper, addressing an envelope, going to the post office for a stamp and sticking your correspondence in the pillar box to just say 'Hi', then waiting for days on the off chance of getting something similar in return before responding with 'How are you?'

Treat your message as you would a letter and actually write something worth reading. Ask any questions you may have for them right there. Of course, it also helps if you have a reasonably decent profile as the majority of people here will look at your profile before they even consider opening that message.

I don't mind a conversation starting with "hi" but often it's the only word they write

Your "hi" is the same as the other one hundred "hi"

"Please don't send a joke as a initial message.... I tried this once and got blocked

I wrote .... hello what does a serial killer say to woman? She replied " What " , I replied " Does this napkin smell like clorophorm "

She deleted and blocked me "

I'd have laughed.

"Competition amongst single men on here is so high, that you have to make yourself stand out. If you can't be bothered to put in a little more effort than just a few words, then I'm afraid you won't get noticed. It's all about first impressions. A man needs to prove to me he has taken the time to read my profile and make his opening message to me personal, otherwise I don't even bother checking out his profile, I'll just delete.

That's how I ended up with my other half! Funny thing was we were not what the other was looking for, in fact we're polar opposites in everything, but his opening comment was something funny about my profile. I replied in kind...three years later we're still together!

Exactly - instant connect. Men need to understand that expressing full-on lust before a woman has given them 'buying signals' can be very off-putting, flattery is usually dismissed as insincere (because sadly it usually is) but wit and charm can instantly make a connection, and that's what many if not most women are looking for I believe.

I am not interested in the fact that a man wants sex, I want the man that wants ME. "

Em.. Would you not be better on match or elite or even pof then??????

See now that's the sort of thing that appeals to my humour and I'd respond, it's different

"They can ask whatever they want to.

You can ignore them, by not messaging at all or sending them whatever you wish to.

Imagine who gets the most success.

..the fit ones?"

Respecting others' advice in their profiles is Imo a sensible starting point
