"Ok so this is probably not going to win me any friends. Maybe even a bit of abuse. But does anybody else find it odd that loads of lady’s profiles read like a school rule book: “Do this. Do that. Don’t do this”. Either there are loads of super patronising ladies out there or all the ladies are getting inundated with inappropariate messages from guys with no f****** clue how to act, leading them to write these profiles that read like little lessons in how to behave. I guess it’s probably the latter. Bloody horny dumbass dudes harassing women, messing it up for the rest of us (!)" I pass them as they are full of bs lol | |||

"Second one. Although I pretty much have nothing on my profile but I can tell already why women would put it.. So far Iv been offered adult work, money for sex to mention a couple and Iv not long joined. " You're saying that you don't want money for sex?! Or adult work and that you're purely on here for your own enjoyment? haha it is interesting the offers you get, some very bizarre ones at times but each to their own. | |||

Haha Some very bizarre, weirdest one was a bloke offering to come and live with me for however long I wanted I replied asking if he was serious or if it was a joke I didn't get and he said he was serious. No, nope, never do I want you to live with me | |||

"Have to bear in mind man that on any site like this there will be a fairly high percentage of nutters so if women are getting psycho messages can see why they would try and avoid getting the same again , but to completely contradict myself , there is no doubt that a few of the profiles are seriously over the top , if trying to put every sane guy off , they definitely work " Nutters and psychos are probably the last people who are going to read the profiles and follow the instructions. | |||

I wonder if he'll ever get that reply Not sure what my oddest request has been. Someone offered me cheese for sex once.... I wasn't tempted honest. | |||

"The bad guys only make the good ones stand out. It does get to a point where you feel you need to put certain rules on your profile but the decent men will be doing that stuff anyway...won't they?" I agree with this. I think those that should read your profile never will, so may as well write it for those that want too read it | |||

This I find if I have a few messages along the same line I will sometimes adjust my profile accordingly to get a point across. | |||

Some of those women protest too much and get a little bit up themselves imho I block all men and do my own searches. My profile is minimal as I'd rather chat face to face x | |||

"Yeh my profile is a bit demanding/ranty but it wasn’t always like that. When I first joined it was pretty much happy smiley it changed following lots of random inappropriate messages. No bs " I don't think it is that demanding/ranty, it is done in a nice way and you have tried to keep it warm and friendly. My profile is similar. It has evolved somewhat over the 18 months I've been on fab and I do try to keep it up to date. I am conscious of not making mine too ranty but I do want to make my preferences and limits clear | |||

"People dont read profiles and totally ignore your preferences ,so we do get frustrated. This can lead to a clear list of dos and don'ts If this sort of profile isnt for you,just pass it by. Miss" Agree with this | |||

" Men are told often we do t know how to write profiles or messages. Hats only because not many women ask or start threads asking. There's some awefuly unattractive profiles out there, regardless what the reason is. " This is actually a fair point. I guess as women even those with little on their profile get several messages a day. So they don't feel a need to get any profile advice. I agree though. I've seen some very unattractive negative profiles. *goes to check own profile text* | |||

"People can put anything they like to on their own profile but my personal observation is that it’s not always what is written but how it’s written. Sometimes people are sincere, sometimes humorous but the ones that I would avoid are the ones that have a demanding, ranty tone because that’s at odds with what I would be interested in reading. If we’re saying that people don’t read profiles anyway, then what do we achieve from having a demanding, shouty profile text? Our profile is the window to us. I look at it that it’s not about deterring people I don’t want to meet but it is about attracting the ones I do want to meet. " | |||

And that maybe what causes lack of trying in profiles to exist? Mine isn't working, so don't ask me? | |||

"Mate. Forget about marina and Ikea you are confusing yourself. It’s very simple. If you are queuing to get into a restaurant and there are 900 idiots at the door behaving badly also trying to get in the owners might end up telling all of you to piss off and close up shop. Get it?" There's a fair chunk of us that don't tar all men with the same brush, in fact, you can assume any verified (by single males) single female doesn't or she'd not have met any. If a woman has specified something on her profile that means you're not what she's looking for, don't take it personally, move on to a lady who IS looking for what you can offer. Too many guys blame their lack of success on here on others...fab is what you make of it, male or female! | |||

"A question for you OP. How do any other persons actions on here mess it up for You? You are responsible for your own interactions those between others have no bearing whatsoever on how you may interact with any person on here. I'm not quite sure if this is a look at me thread... at least it worked ...or another ranty why can't I get a meet thread dressed up as white night on white stallion with his lance set to fight all comers in this weeks chivalric jousts. But just like Ikea if some people don't read the instructions and then find they have a couple of nuts left and a wobbly wardrobe it's hard to open the door in the back of it to find Narnia." | |||

It's like this ladies if your a woman with dumb sexual stuff on your profile expect to receive dumb sexual messages and then to put dumb sexual stuff on your profile and then outlining dumb sexual messages you don't want from guys its obvious to me that renders you full of shit, ah hypocrite. *crowd cheers* | |||

Do you think people at ikea customer service had ever referenced Fab? CSA - "Look, imagine you've read the perfect profile on Fab. They were everything you hoped for. The right size, and would look lovely in your bedroom. You get them back to yours, and after a few minutes usage you realise it's not what you'd hoped for, as the promises just didn't deliver. Well, that bedside cabinet is like that, just send it back in the morning" | |||

"As women, the majority of us get a never ending supply of shit in our inboxes....I would imagine the lists are to save people they're not interested in messaging. Obviously this doesn't work for the most part cos 90% of people don't read profiles. I went for a faq section rather than a list of dos and donts " never heard it called an inbox before, but nice one! | |||

That’s what I’m talking about. “Do this. Do that”. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could all just be cool and stop bossing each other about? Look, some peeps have misunderstood me. I don’t take it personally at all if I’m not someone’s cup of tea and don’t blame anything on anyone. I’m just making two points: 1. some profiles do sound very bossy. I wanted to understand why and I realise - because many women in this thread confirmed it - that for many it’s because of these rude twats spamming them; 2. having women’s inboxes flooded with inappropriate messages might make it harder sometimes to connect because some women get put off and leave the site altogether and others take days to reply because they are busy deleting hundreds of unsolicited dick pics (I know because some have said so). | |||
