"Surely it can’t be just us that REALLY gets the hump when people simply don’t read a profile before messaging ? We aren’t up ourselves, don’t think we are all that, just have a very simple “wish list”. And when our profile is preceded with “not meeting atm due to health problems” surely anyone with a modicum of common sense wouldn’t ignore that and ask for a meet anyway?" It's not just you. We recently asked a guy if he'd actually read our profile. Yes, 6 times he said. He'd winked. We say don't bother winking. He'd sent a friend request. We say don't send them. He sent a cock pic. We say don't send them. He didn't send a face pic. It's the only thing we ask for. Skim reading while typing one handed and scrolling through the pics, I get you might miss a bit of info. But to indignantly claim to have read it 6 times??? Fuck off, that's bollocks. M | |||

"They’re either chancers or just arrogant wankers. I assume mostly the latter" Would agree with this, you only need to read the first few lines of mine to see if it’s worth reading on or sending me a message. | |||

"OP why not hide your profile if messages irritate you ? People might be contacting you to arrange a meet for when you have recovered from the illness. " Not judging by the content of the messages. And why would a straight guy contact us with a cock pic when those are two things we aren’t looking for ? I get the hiding profile point. But why should the onus be on us to hide a profile that states exactly what we are and are not looking for ? | |||

Ah this is always a problem on fab My profile has changed over the years and gone from 7 years ago ‘happy newbie a little about me’ to now ‘slightly demanding shouty Bitch’ haha Not because I actually am a shouty demanding Bitch (well ok has been known on occasion  ) but it’s really because it just would be so nice if my profile was read , understood and then used to decide whether or not it’s worth messaging me haha
I don’t want to waste anyone’s time if they aren’t what I’m looking for just as much as I really don’t want to have to waste my time replying they aren’t
The joys of fab lol

"If they read your profile they won't realise you aren't meeting. They might have missed the header in capitals. " If the main profile text discusses meeting it's confusing.
If the 'looking for' list is full, the profile shows up on searches. | |||

"The site provides tools to alleviate unsolicited messages. Your choice whether you choose to use them or not op. I started a thread called junk mail a while ago.. it basically said in the real world you receive junk mail on here you can block incoming mail , if you choose not to block your mailbox you have to accept some junk mail just like in the real world Hmmmm, what would I do. "If we're planning to meet (as we currently are) we welcome unsolicited messages. We do nothing more than wish they read our profile. It's pretty fucking simple. Yes, we could look ourselves. It's a lot more simple and time effective (for us) to accept incoming messages And sort the wheat from the chaff. M | |||

I do, do my own searches, and if I spotted someone I liked the look of then yes I'd message them My comments here were in line with the original OP. About people not reading profiles, sending messages to people they are totally incompatible with. Despite stating a height preference it gets ignored. Yesterday, for example. A gentleman 5'3" messaged me... That's a full 8" below what's on my profile I can choose to block messages from folks, but height isn't one of the options | |||

" I don't know what the answer is ,maybe block people messaging for a while and keep in touch with friends /prospective meets. Miss" We do/have. I don't know be we seem to get far more unsolicited friend requests than I guess would expect. I can only assume because have profile pic and one public, personally I have no interest in anyone just dribbling over our pictures, take that how you may .
So they think we'll just open up our privates to them with no kind of introduction. Also to many friend lists are like ASBOs, badges of honer to show how popular they think they are . If you want to see us simply contact us, get to know us. If you only want to do that because of our pictures then, your not the kida folks we particularly want to meet | |||

"I won't block an entire gender, because a few idiots can't read. As for efforts & rewards. I'm doing pretty well, thank you | |||
