why are some couples pics majorly under fabbed?

Am I the only one that notices that some couples pictures which are seriously amazing only receive a 100 or so fabs, when obviously if it was on a female account the fabs would be in the 1000s. Why is that, do you reckon? Discuss

I guess it depends on what they’re looking for too, if they have blocked single guys, etc that might account for some

If you block single guys though, they can still look at your profile though can't they? I would fab more couples pics but I'm scared they may see it as a come on and not just an appreciation of art.

Even a 100 or so fabs is a lot. Think I’ve barely got 50 fabs in total since being here.

Some couples block single guys so there’s no point fabbing their pics so I move on

Well I guess that is the reason then, shame the pics don't get the appreciation they deserve though.

We may block single guys from messaging, but we do take note of who fabs our pics.

It's a bit of a balancing act, while we do take note of who fabs us, we'll only contact those who we would have contacted anyway if we had come across their profile by other means.

Of course, you as a third party have no way of knowing that!

It's obviously your decision but you could potentially be missing out on meets, I sometimes contact single guys who've fabbed my pics if they grab my attention, even though I have single guys blocked.

we rarely get over 100 on ours in a 12 hour period. Over time it builds up though.

we've never thought about why though, just assumed that's how many people like the photo

I obviously spend too much time wondering about it all then. Looking at your pics I would put money on your fabs being majorly higher if on a single ladies profile , not that you put them on for fabs, and neither do I.

We might get 100 quickly if we post a new pic but the interest fades pretty quick as I guess there’s always a newer better pic

We do have single guys blocked, but only because 99% of the messages are of the FAF variety. We very clearly state on our profile we enjoy the company of the right single guy

Sometimes there's no rhyme or reason to it?

As an example my favourite of our pics has a dozen incarnations of P as well as one of myself, in a variety of blatantly sexual poses, in a very naughty setting, has a decent concept behind it and is IMHO well taken. It currently has 76 fabs.

Meanwhile on the same page of our pics, a torso shot of myself (male) has more fabs and a few single shots of P in a much more conventional sense have many more fabs.

And on our singles profiles, there's pics of just myself that are knocking on towards 400 fabs and on P's single profile there's pics that are in the thousands? (Though the last is understandable at least )

Very interesting question, as I've often come accross pics that have way less fabs than they deserve on accounts before.

I think it might be several factors, traffic will obviously be key, so I'd imagine single girl profiles get more attention than couples profiles and location being a big part, if pics reach more people's feeds then you stand a greater chance of getting more attention and fabs.

I would imagine once you have hit page 1 with a pic, then many people will hotlist you, adding to the number of feeds your pics will be on - again increasing overall fabs

All those things the poster above listed ARE valid factors, as well as the time of upload, how many uploads there are that day and time, etc, etc...Thing is we've been on Page 1 plenty of times for blokes, couples, ladies and overall, so you'd expect all our pics to do unfeasible well, not just some of them?

Yet for some reason this one, currently as our profile pic, didn't?

The only other variable we can think of is how long the mods take to approve it? If it sails through in 2 minutes it tends to get plenty more fabs as it's at the top of status feeds for the initial flurry of fabs (and therefore will more likely hit the top page to accumulate more) whereas if they take a few hours over it, then obviously that is missed out on? Can't think of anything that would cause that amount of difference though really.

We often post the same pics on our singles profiles as our couples one and you're right the ones on our singles profiles get way way more fabs.

I guess there's more people looking for singles than their is couples on here so singles get more attention.

I think it’s because men think fabbing a pic is going to open a line of conversation. It’s rarely does. It’s as rare as a single guy actually getting a meet on here. Couples who don’t want to meet men aren’t showing on the guys search so they aren’t desperately clicking every single image (which is creepy by the way, lads)

We find that most of our fabs come at the initial upload of the pic and then we get a steady trickle.

Some of ours are quite moody and artistic so we don’t expect them to get many fabs..

We have single guys blocked most of the time but they can still fab pics and we have picked a few meets from fabs on ours.

As with most things on here though, the single girl is king and similar pictures on Becky’s single profile will always get more.

I think it’s also dependant on how many friends people have, we have a select few friends, mainly those we play with or want to play with.

Some other profiles have hundreds of friends, but like Facebook, and their images amass lots of fabs almost instantly.

Not sure, feel free to fab ours

In a serious note I think it’s just the amount of single guys out there trying to get laid, hoping that a single lady will notice the fab of the pic.

This for my couples profile but the initial burst of interest is considerably less than 100. I suspect that is age related.

I uploaded one of hubby yesterday and he said it generated fabs on pretty much every photo, apart from the one I put up.

As for the original post, I think it is simply because it is mostly men who Fab and they are generally looking for single ladies, so they get more fabs.

We notice this, I know we are no spring chickens but think most of our pics are tasteful or fun. Think there’s a few reasons for it, obviously the majority of people on here are guys so will be looking for the single female mainly and will probably think it increases their chances of a meet, people’s filters also as some do age 18 to 99 so catchment is higher than someone who does 30 to 40, we have noticed a lot of couples don’t Fab another couples pics unless your friends for whatever reason, also the people who do cam or live in a city will have more people that have them on radar than those that live in the country.

We don’t browse on here but if somebody looks at us guy, girl or couple that we think their pics should be fabbed we will

I think the logic is that single ladies are more likely to meet single guys than couples are - and are therefore more obtainable!

That may explain why in general single females get more fabs - but obviously doesn’t account for the hot photos regulars who gather their own ‘following’ of people who’ve hotlisted them! They exist in both women and couples - and tend to get up there whether the picture they posted is amazing - or not so great - which sometimes causes contention!

I’ve been there, done that, and come out of the other side! Having pictures fabbed is mildly flattering - nothing more. When it becomes ‘too’ important it can cause issues with self esteem, bitterness etc etc - In 6 years I’ve seen and done it all!

Now I’ll post a picture for no other reason than I like the picture and feel like it! I rarely, if ever, meet other than socially these days - so if anyone is fabbing my pic in the hope of a shag then I’m afraid they’ve just wasted a second of their life!

From observation, couples in the main don’t post as regularly as the selection of single ladies who can pretty much guarantee a presence on page one daily. Nor do they tend to ‘recycle’ old pictures as often as the Page One Regulars. There are a few couples on my hotlist who put up some delicious pictures, I fab both couples and women in equal measure I think.

I fab pictures I like, no other reason than that, no matter who they are of. I do think that sometimes the couples pictures can be more artistic than other people's, certain profiles spring to mind, but then there is twice the subject matter to try and make something interesting from.

Certainly I think there is an element of trying to fab people's pictures to get their attention from single blokes, little realising that some people don't look at their fabs and that even if they do then one fab amongst many is going to stand out even less than one message amongst many as there is nothing to distinguish it. Couple that with a belief that a single lady is more likely to possibly be interested in a single bloke (which may not be the case) & you get why single ladies get more fabs than couples.

As for single bloke's pictures , well it just seems ladies fab less than men, and it takes a good picture for them to put a fab on it, and that's why I am grateful for every one that I get, it's a small, harmless compliment for the effort I may have put in.

Have considered this and have noticed top fabbed pics are often face pics , that’s understandable, the higher up the most fabbed list it goes, the more people add that member to their hot list ,and so they have a wider audience from then on.

We will usually get onto most fabbed but it’s only ever page 6 or 7
