I just don’t know what to say sometimes and I was wondering what catches your eye.

I get that hey, how’s your quarantine and you’re hot are bad but what’s good? Do I just say something from your profile? A Cheesy pickup line?

Important to read the persons profile and hopefully there are shared interests... that is a given but I some times think that people (women in particular) get bombarded with so much that they just dismiss the attention. A bit like reviewing CV’s for a job... I think I have sadly missed some gems and hired a few tossers... actually not think, know!

Agree with all of the above, just approach them like you would if it were someone in a bar and don't mention anything about sex yet. Also you should consider changing your username to something more mature as imo it's emphasising how young you are and that can put some people off.

Okay, that’s what I was curious about

As well. Weather to mention the sex.

Oh really? Should I change it to my name then?

Change it to whatever you want just nothing sexual or immature would be my advice.

If you want me to be really picky... Your photos are fine as is your grammar so you are obviously intelligent. In my opinion though your bio is a little bland. After reading it I wouldn't think "wow, this guy seems fun!". Fab isn't a serious site so have some fun with it and be light-hearted. Show your personality.

You talk a lot about what you want out of fab but not what you're looking for in a potential meet. You're not mentioning what you have to offer. You're also highlighting your age and lack of experience in a negative way; people can decide for themselves if these are an issue.

As many people have said before on these kinds of threads your profile is like your advert - you have to sell yourself and make yourself seem like you're the best choice anyone could make over all the other men on here.

Best of luck x

A simple and polite introduction accompanied with a face picture with you smiling a genuine smile.

I think this is the best message you can send.

Eh. You can mention sex. What you shouldn't do is project your fantasies on them. Read their profile and if there's an interest/fantasy/etc you share then talking about that would make a good first message.

Also: don't message people that you really don't have much of a crossover with. If you don't look at their profile and think "Hey, this thing they're interested in, I'm also interested in" don't just have a punt on the off-chance, it wastes everyone's time.

Before 99% of women and couples open your message they will first read your profile. If you profile doesn't grab them your messages is not getting opened.

Read profiles fully, that is if they have written anything. Mention something from it in your opening message.

Address couples as a pair if you’re looking for them?

There’s no real concrete answer as it will largely come down to attraction from the pics, but test the water and see what works best for you.

It is ironic how many messages I’ve had that literally say just that, but then you read their profile and it’ll say, ‘be imaginative with your first message’ and so on.

I’d say it totally depends on my mood...so that’s really unhelpful advice!! Are you sending just a compliment on a pic, maybe liked a forum comment and wanted to say so/continue a discussion, or are you wanting to chat and maybe meet? If so, why - what’s made you contact them? And do you want a response?...I much prefer it when people say they’d like to chat because of x,y,z, rather than just nice pics or wanna meet.

Sometimes it’s well thought out but clearly a well used line...which I understand...that opens discussion. Sometimes it’s a funny or raunchy comment that just deserves a reply and turns into chat. Sometimes it’s a shit message but a good pic or profile.

And obviously these are my thoughts...and we are all different. So just be you, and see if you click with someone.

Best to read a persons profile and message with something that relates to them. I personally don’t like opening messages that start Hey beautiful or Hey gorgeous or How’s you? as you just know that message is going out to another 100 people lol

My profile has a few scenarios within it, fantasies I fancy doing with a partner or two. However most of the messages I get, they’re not commented on. But guess what is a question I get asked ..

‘What are you into ?’

Anyone mentions they’d be interested in one of my fantasies, would get an answer, even if it’s a sorry you’re not my type. But if they are ...meeting ahead after this pandemic.

Majority of the time, the best first message is right in front of you
