"Well it seems my membership runs out in 5 days time. I'd like to say it's been a pleasure being a member of this site but it hasn't. It's been a complete waste of time and money. There's only so many times a chap can put up with messages not being read, being completely ignored or just deleted with no response. I have lost count of the number of messages I've sent with absolutely no response whatesoever. No wonder this site gets so many bad reviews. Wish I'd seen them before I parted with my money.

"It’s a shame that after 6 months the OP has had no success. He hasn’t asked for profile advice but I can see at least 3 obvious red flags for me and probably for other women too. If he has had advice before and admits he chooses to ignore it though, I guess he feels the only other option is to blame the site and leave which is a shame really. Wonder where the reviews of the site are, I’d be interested to add mine to balance against the negativity. " Runs off to set up a new 'Shagadvisor' website............ A | |||

If people don't like honesty then that says more about them than it does me. Sorry but there's no excuse for being ignorant whether its in the site rules or not. Funny how many woman say they don't have time to reply to all messages yet that have the time to read them all. If you've got time to read it you've got time to send a quick 'thanks but no thanks'. " No public pics and far too much text in your profile, haven’t read it and don’t plan, cut away the legal jargon at the bottom though cause that’s just meaningless, where did you cut and paste that from? | |||

"I am fully aware that you don't have to pay. But I was kind of under the impression that you would be taken more seriously by being a site supporter. It didn't cost me a fiver it cost me £12.50, or something like that. I also fully realise that nothing is guaranteed, least of all 'getting my dick wet'. But I did kind of expect some sort of interaction if only a 'no thank you'.I don't really think it's delusional to expect something, anything. Even just a 'thanks but no thanks' would have been a refreshing change." the legal thing is pointless as 1 you have no public pics and 2 nobody follows thru with legal threats on here | |||

"OP whether you agree or disagree with the fact that people don't reply it's not something you will change - so you have the choice to accept it or not, but moaning about it will get you absolutely nowhere, so you're better off accepting it with a shrug of the shoulders and telling yourself that those that don't reply obviously weren't a good match for your requirements. I find it's far better to look at what you *can* change rather than looking to blame anything or anyone else for the site not meeting your expectations (which I will be honest and say are probably set way too high) - the things you can change are all within your control and a good start would be taking some of the advice provided on this thread and other similar ones you have posted on. The kind of things you can change include attitude, approach, expectations, profile, pics, forum use, social/club attendance and more - all of which are key to finding what you want from the site - they won't guarantee a thing of course, but getting them right *will* make your experience a better one " Well said I don’t care how hot you are I think everyone on here has been ignored at some point | |||

Add to that 1. No pics 2. Refusing to meet for socials 3. Having an aggressive, entitled profile. And Id be astonished if anyone replied to his messages. As you say, whilst he can't do anything about his age or looks, he can do something about 1 to 3. The fact that he refuses to do so suggests that we're dealing with entrenched personality traits. As such he's right. He's wasting his time on here. | |||

" I wouldn't even like to put a percentage on those that find the site meet their expectations necessarily - they tend to go about their Fab business quietly and accept the various site traits for what they are. The common factor amongst the majority of those that find it doesn't meet their expectations though is that they all seek to blame anyone or anything else for their lack of "success" from the site rather than looking closer to home for the answer, which is usually where the problem lies. | |||

" Very true about those at the bottom. I'm not great looking, I don't have a great body, I'm a little odd and not aways at my best socially and I could always get meets when I was looking. If i can do it, almost anyone can. And yes it's partly luck but I do think that luck is influenced by many men on here who will never get a meet simply through their own actions amd ineptitude. In the kingdom of the blind, the one eyed man is king. Even with the huge numbers of men on here these days it's really not difficult for even someone decidedly average like me to influence their own luck | |||

"OP whether you agree or disagree with the fact that people don't reply it's not something you will change - so you have the choice to accept it or not, but moaning about it will get you absolutely nowhere, so you're better off accepting it with a shrug of the shoulders and telling yourself that those that don't reply obviously weren't a good match for your requirements. I find it's far better to look at what you *can* change rather than looking to blame anything or anyone else for the site not meeting your expectations (which I will be honest and say are probably set way too high) - the things you can change are all within your control and a good start would be taking some of the advice provided on this thread and other similar ones you have posted on. The kind of things you can change include attitude, approach, expectations, profile, pics, forum use, social/club attendance and more - all of which are key to finding what you want from the site - they won't guarantee a thing of course, but getting them right *will* make your experience a better one " Perfectly put | |||

"Well if you go OP that's one less person moaning about how this doesn't work for them. And for the majority of males on here it won't either. That's just yhe way it is. Some will be more successful than others. .. all down to luck in the end. I think for the top 20-30% of men it's partly luck. The bottom... no, most of it is about them. Very true about those at the bottom. I'm not great looking, I don't have a great body, I'm a little odd and not aways at my best socially and I could always get meets when I was looking. If i can do it, almost anyone can. And yes it's partly luck but I do think that luck is influenced by many men on here who will never get a meet simply through their own actions amd ineptitude. In the kingdom of the blind, the one eyed man is king. Even with the huge numbers of men on here these days it's really not difficult for even someone decidedly average like me to influence their own luck" My view is that the "secret" for single men is to be able to treat women as human beings and not as receptacles in which to put your penis. That means being able to talk to them about non sexual subjects, be aware of and take account of their feelings, and not present as someone who might be on the sex offenders register. As you say, it's only a small minority of men who here who seem to be able to do that. | |||

I wouldn't even like to put a percentage on those that find the site meet their expectations necessarily - they tend to go about their Fab business quietly and accept the various site traits for what they are. The common factor amongst the majority of those that find it doesn't meet their expectations though is that they all seek to blame anyone or anything else for their lack of "success" from the site rather than looking closer to home for the answer, which is usually where the problem lies." I suppose I'm going by my inbox. 70-80% don't, as was just stated, "get" the big secret that we're people who have our own desires and want to be treated with respect/ made to feel desired and safe. They want, I provide, yes? No. | |||

"As a bi guy who dresses probably inappropriate for me to comment. However, I don't subscribe to the site. I have had dozens of meets both in Northampton and previously Aylesbury area. More difficult now as don't accomodate. OK so 95% are guys but also had the pleasure of meting several couples M/F. Best site I have found. " If you're looking to meet men, you won't have a problem given members are overwhelmingly male. | |||

"Well it seems my membership runs out in 5 days time. I'd like to say it's been a pleasure being a member of this site but it hasn't. It's been a complete waste of time and money. There's only so many times a chap can put up with messages not being read, being completely ignored or just deleted with no response. I have lost count of the number of messages I've sent with absolutely no response whatesoever. No wonder this site gets so many bad reviews. Wish I'd seen them before I parted with my money. Ah well, we live and learn. A couple of points. The site is free. You don't have to pay. Many people do well on the site whether they pay or not. A fiver every 30/60 days doesn't guarantee getting your dick wet. Good luck trying any other sites. They're no different and will probably cost you more. I guess the negative reviews were from people who thought setting up a profile and popping a couple of quickly taken snaps would have others rushing to meet them. Delusional springs to mind.

Perhaps a better way to have put it would be that a lot is made of the number imbalance between men, women and couples on here, but if you take away those that don't get it (across all categories) - it's a lot more evenly balanced. Which logically comes back to if you have the right approach and attitude it's highly likely your expectations of the site will be met, no matter your gender. | |||

There's also the other point that a lot of the guys who don't get it don't actually want to me in my view. My evidence for that is when we organise gangbang parties. We're not really bothered about personality for them. If you look half way decent and aren't a complete tosser you'll probably get an invite. Despite that two thirds to three quarters of people invited don't turn up. | |||

And I'm not so much picking on men. One, as I say, I'm going by my inbox, but two, women and couples will have less issues getting meets almost no matter what they do. I'm certainly not saying that the only bad people/ people "doing it wrong" are men. | |||

" Oh I didn't think for a minute you were picking on men - didn't come across that way at all, likewise about the only ones that get it wrong are men. Yes in the imbalanced world couples and women do have it easier when it comes to getting meets in some respects, my point was more that in the balanced world (where those that don't "get it" are taken out) it's actually just as easy for men (and I say "easy" with guardedness as it makes it sound like it would just be a case of having a profile which we all know it isn't). | |||
