Single guys, what's the issue?

Hi, so don't panic this is not a whinge fest.

Just would like to get some clarity for myself and the other single guys here, why single guys seem to be so demonised and what makes a good single guy profile (not all of us are loonies/weirdos! Lol)

Keep it honest and keep it polite.

I don't think single guys are demonised at all, at least not the decent ones who go about their Fab business with respect and consideration, and don't have their expectations set too high.

The thing is single male profiles outweigh all others by at least ten fold and supply and demand dictates that not everyone is going to have success all the time - unfortunately there are some single guys that don't get that, and who sign up to the site with expectations of it being instashag and become disillusioned and whingy when it proves to be quite the opposite.

The key is having a decent profile and pics (do a forum search for "Profile Advice" for some great tips on how to address that), being active in the forums, sending well thought out tailored messages and more, whilst being respectful and considerate, having patience etc.

idk, a lot of men are shit, or have a shit approach to women at least.

burn them.

and, according to psychology, we remember the bad things easier than the good things. i have cPTSD and when it's functioning well i don't remember the shit things, so do like men sometimes.

Many of is love the right single guys. If our energy and time is depleted by half-arsed tossers, then it reduces our potential to have a better life.

Profiles that say they're looking for sex but without much finer detail about themselves are just hopeless.

A piled up inbox full of fancy a fuck messages are similarly a pain.

Some of this suggests stupidity or lack of empathy towards us, which aren't good starting points.

Profile tips etc reveal tons that they can do. But don't bother.

I don't feel demonised on here everyone is very friendly, there is a lot of competition and the more effort you put in the more luck you have.

A positive attitude helps when writing your profile and chatting with people

yeah women can do too.

mostly men tend to pester, i find that anyway, and a lot seem to be clueless about how to act towards a woman.

don't forget this is a swingers site also so the elusive single female is often sought out for that fmf 3sum more than a man would be.

We don't get many messages from them but I guess our profile and requirements put them off.

I know and it's something that has been discussed for years, it shouldn't say "not looking for single guys" just because someone has every filter turned on. It should state my preference which is looking for single guys, it should simply say "not accepting inbound messages"

It does get frustrating, but as others have said be patient. Some of The ladys get literally hundreds of messages a day, so of course they cant consider them all in depth.

Try adding in being over 45 to the equation like me and see how many more women are off your short list! I still get a few new meets a year andvtry to stay in touch with those I meet. I think theres only one lady whom I only met once.

yip that's what makes a single guy profile stand out of 100s to me anyway

Chicks on here can afford to be picky...given the ratio your always gonna be another faceless profile

"What makes a good single guy profile (not all of us are loonies/weirdos! Lol)

I should actually answer the original question!

A good male profile for me is one that had pictures of a guys full body, a picture of his erect penis (standing sideways to camera, hands by the side of the body and penis hanging free) a picture of the guys face (if he's happy to have one public) if not he should send it with the first message.

A profile showing a bit of humour is what I like, also everything spelt correctly. No legal warnings or any other bull shit.

.

With single men being the most common on fab its just about women and couples having a more of a choice on who they want to play with,

Apart from having some decent pictures and something written about yourself I don't think you can do that much to improve your profile, If they find you attractive and when chatting they like your personality your chances on meeting will improve

3sum. Having others to help is great, glad you are getting better and enjoying life best you can. Important to keep thinking forward. I my experience people with PTSD tend to struggle with going in the right direction, but facing the wrong way. It's difficult to see my friends struggle with it, as it is so challenging to shake off/overcome. Medication helps too of course. I suffer with (diagnosed) bi Polar disorder, Tourette's and I have some of the symptoms of PTS (anxiety based things) which I take medication for. Difficult because these things have very little to do with my vibrant and people living character.

For me I wouldn't email you on that reason as your profile says no single men.

I know people won't meet me possibly on number of veris and I am not biggest of guys in terms of muscle also I don't accommodate.

My veris clearly state I am a rounded indervidual who is genuine, polite and does play.

It is up to the people that I talk to decide if they want to meet me or not some will some won't

Good advice Thankyou. I certainly don't have any 'entitlement' issues myself but it can be a little demoralising for anyone to be constantly knocked back. That's not a whinge, just an observation. I think maybe it's just unfortunate that numbers of men so heavily outweigh the rest (or so it seems) great post

Dick pics...partly because guys see that as their sexiest assets and also because they are making sure you won't be disappointed by their size. A lot of people are quite specific about that.

I have no idea what constitutes a decent profile to others, everyone wants different things within it and as often said here you can't please everyone so all I would say is please yourself and have your profile your way rather than what you think it should be.

Decent pictures are a good start but to me a person has more of a chance putting their personality across through the forums or if you can stick it out the chat rooms also.

(This from the person with the shittest profile text ever)

1. be genuine

2. be polite

3. make sure you treat your stableboy like shit

4. make sure your horse is white

5. make sure you agree with everything females and couples say

6. make sure you acknowledge all single guys are the spawn of satan

7. make sure you bow down to the cliques

8. make sure you know you are only good for boot licking and chastising

This is how you ensure you have a good single guy profile

"I have no idea what constitutes a decent profile to others, everyone wants different things within it and as often said here you can't please everyone so all I would say is please yourself and have your profile your way rather than what you think it should be.

Decent pictures are a good start but to me a person has more of a chance putting their personality across through the forums or if you can stick it out the chat rooms also.

(This from the person with the shittest profile text ever)

This isn't about profiles...

Ok, I must have read the line in the op, what makes a good profile incorrectly then.

I stand corrected! Sorry i was sort of reading and wiping my ass at the same time, you know? "

Don't admit to that, you're practically saying men can't multi task ffs

Let's be honest... most guys on here are complete morons.

Unfortunately... after I've read 100 messages from idiots.. if the 101st one is off a nice guy then I'm already too annoyed by then to try to be nice.

I only meet single guys and I don't have any problem with them whatsoever. I rarely get bullshit or hassle from them, and the men I've met on the whole have become regular playmates.

I like to see face, body and tasteful cock pics - either on the profile or with the first message - but not action shots.

A literate profile text, with a bit of humour...general info, what he wants, what he has to offer. Veris on display because I will check them back. Coherent messages tailored to me.

I don't discriminate against married or cheating guys, because that would be hypocritical...if I like a man I'll meet him regardless

Genuinely single is someone that is single by every single definition, no husband no boyfriend no significant other, as opposed to the people that say they're single but have a significant other who is unaware. Genuine single people of a certain age, in your words, must have something wrong with them.

"I don't think single guys are demonised at all, at least not the decent ones who go about their Fab business with respect and consideration, and don't have their expectations set too high.

The thing is single male profiles outweigh all others by at least ten fold and supply and demand dictates that not everyone is going to have success all the time - unfortunately there are some single guys that don't get that, and who sign up to the site with expectations of it being instashag and become disillusioned and whingy when it proves to be quite the opposite.

The key is having a decent profile and pics (do a forum search for "Profile Advice" for some great tips on how to address that), being active in the forums, sending well thought out tailored messages and more, whilst being respectful and considerate, having patience etc."

Couldn't put it any better.

Are they demonised? I've never been aware of it. It's very hard here for single men, but I wouldn't be having as much fun as I am if they weren't here. There's a disproportionate amount of men here, so it'll be hard to get anywhere but some manage quite nicely. It is a minefield though, a lot of messages I get are from blatantly fake profiles, or fellas who are far away, passing through or who want to Skype or kik me! I don't tar all single men the same though, as there's a kernel of perfectly sane fun fellas in there too.

Our problem with single guys is two-fold.

firstly, many of them aren't single, the numbers of "attached" but claiming to be single has risen a lot over the last couple of years.

Secondly, as the numbers of single guys has risen, so it seems has the idea of this being some form of "instashag" site, which generates an attitude of expectation.

Not all (genuine) single guys are bad, but the swarms of numpties means its harder to find the good guys.

What is as a couple would look for in a single man is not necessarily the same as what a single lady would look. There are single male profiles that I might go for if I were single and looking for a one-to-one NSA relationship, but we wouldn't touch them with a barge pole as a couple. Reason being, is because their profile reads that they are focusing on single ladies. As a couple we are very aware that we are only afterthoughts for many single men because there aren't enough single ladies to go round. So for us to take an interest in a male profile, it has to be suggested that the man in question is genuinely interested in swinging and understands the dynamics of playing with an MF couple. We also look for a man who demonstrates sex appeal in his profile pictures, and we look for a man that we think we can get on with socially.

No ones demonising anyone.

Think how many people do the lottery each week. Most win nothing, but they keep trying week in week out. They don't complain that the lottery is demonising them.

They have optimistic hope and patience.

This Fabs thing, is heavily biased in numbers in favour of ladies.

So the men here have to make their own way to stand out or become interesting to others, and increase your odds.

You won't do that with;

cock pictures;

sentences of 3 words or less;

profile that's the same as others;

Say something of yourself, what you're looking for, and keep it interesting or relevant to you.

If you've got an imagination, use it.

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum

I love single men, and to be honest the profile isn't what draws me in. Its a decent message and a pic or two that does that.

However there are certainly some men on the Fab forums, even on this very thread, that don't help the image of single men at all. You know the ones: 'all women on Fab are up their own arses', 'the women on here are ugly and don't deserve the types of men they're after', 'if women won't meet me then they're all fake, or ugly munters'.

Seriously fellas, how is that supposed to help your cause in getting women to be attracted to you? You'll get noticed, sure, but not for what you were hoping for.

We once blocked single guys from messaging us, because we don't need to meet any more. However that action also blocked single men, including our own friends, showing up on 'who's looked at me'. We concluded it was important to us to know who's looked at us. Also every now and then a gem comes along who we might have missed.

It's not really like the lottery. Some men get meets all the time, some men will never get a meet. It's probably a lottery for the men that fall in that middle ground.

Honest answer

The simple abundance of single guys, results in for every 1 who reads a profile and makes an effort there are far more who do neither just spam one line messages to couples with no intrest.

For every one, who shows up, there are tons motpre who pm ping pong till they bust a nut and then fail to turn up.

As such we only meet single guys at clubs, where profiles don't matter.

Tried to find single on wiggles birthday.. 10 pluss pm latter the guys answer was "ohh you to far away" he was on other side of town centre.

I take everyone as an individual. So tbh it's up to the single guy to sell themselves to me if they want me. I hope I'm treated in this manner too As I only message guys I'm really interested in or who have made the effort. Although I'm not put off a FaF message if I can see a twinkle in the sender's eye.

this is so true sadly guys you may not like to here it but it is.

if you cant entice through you personality through messages you will struggle more than those that can,

but there is a answer to that problem its called the club scene but once again that will only work for you to if your the kind of guy that can hold a conversation in the flesh .

i feel to many guys see sites like this as a easy option dare i say a lazy option even and then start throwing there dummies about when that belief is proven untrue ,

Quick search of the forums for socials ! Then look for local ones, amble along to local clubs and chat to people.

Every single meet i go on i have zero expectation of playing. I go on socials and meets to be social and meet new people. If anything does happen thats a bonus

I don't think single men are demonised, there are some men who act like twats but then so do some women and couples. I have a great time on here I've never felt demonised. I do feel embarrassed sometimes when I see or hear about the behaviour of some other guys but the more men who act like doofuses the less competition there is
