What's your first message to people?

Your photos are very cock heavy. One photo will show the goods not really a need for so many. Maybe an upper body pic.

You can fluff your bio up too. Your likes, what you're looking for. Show your personality.

You need to make yourself stand out.

Best advice is go to clubs and or socials get your face about and meet people.

I have had messages in the past deleted my ladies to then bump into them in clubs and get on like a house on fire.

It's so much easier in person.

Best advice is read the profile. And offer whqt they are looking for, if it fits your interests too. If you read ours it's quite easy. Message us asking to watch us, your get blocked. Don't be tempted, already had 2 this week. Wastes our time reading it then blocking. Or messages like, wanna chat see how we get on? Again, we're only looking when meets qre up. Why chat forever, going off the boil and dairy not lining up.

I like to get to know people before I have sex with them but at the same time if I know it’s going well then I like to get a date in the diary early on so the conversation has a point.

For every single tu on here to get just one meet a year every lady would need to meet 2/3 times a week which lets face it is never going to happen

So you need to really up your profile game, to stand out, think about changing your profile pic, doesn't have to be a face pic but at the moment it just looks like a camera flash & I like a dick pic but 10.. 2s plenty, believe it or not lots of women and couples don't want to see a dickpic so your profile would be an instant block to them especially with so many

The stats are probably worse then that to be honest. That assumes that no one is going to meet the same guy.

I think also you need to stay positive. It’s like an interview application. You need to contact lots to get a reply.

It’s up to us men to make the first move. And do t get disheartened if you don’t get a reply.

On fab guys you’d get loads of messages. On here you’re just another guy with his cock out.

You have a good body but so do many other guys on the site.

Stand out or merge into the background, currently it’s the latter.

It's all about the video chat rooms I find. If people can see you actually exist and interact they're far keener to engage via message. Otherwise, get down to one of the better clubs and maybe get involved with any forum threads about the event you are planning on attending in the days/weeks running up to it. Unless you have kick-ass photos on your profile and look like some kind of adonis, simply messaging people semi-randomly and expecting a reply is more or less a waste of time in my experience, and if you're not sending amazing opening messages will probably just get you ignored and or blocked. When I first joined the site my profile wasn't that great and nor were my pictures and I feel like I probably hurt my chances with a lot of potentials by sending boring messages. I'd be tempted to start over but it took me a fair while to get proper verifications from real people and I don't want to end up back at square one again

This

Not only do you need to stand out with both your bio, photos and first message, but - as far as couples are concerned- those things should also demonstrate you will respect not only the lady of the couple but also the guy. Because if he isn’t respected or comfortable about who you are, you’ve got no chance. (BTW not saying you’re being disrespectful anywhere, it’s just your profile needs to inspire confidence in you )

Post an example of your opening message and you’ll get some great feedback

"I’m on here as a genuine single man, but I’m finding it very difficult to get replies from people, does anyone else have this same problem or is it just me? "

Mate, we outnumber girls here something like 100 to 1... I have three tips that work for me, I hope they can help.

1. Try clubs, be friendly and social. Works way better. Someone mentioned here and it happened to me too, that I met with a couple in a club, had a great night together and when I arrived home I noticed that I messaged them months before - no answer. Then we met in person and they were very much interested!

2. Try regular dating apps with an honest approach if you are only looking for something casual. Don't say in your profile that you are only for a quick shag, rather write something like "I'll move out of the UK in a couple of months, so don't look for anything long term, but truly believe in the beauty of flirting if it based on respect and honesty". For me it works very well both on Tinder and Happn, brings me way more success than this site.

3. If you still want to try your luck here, target those profiles that don't have any photos. You will face way less competition and from the details (age, body type) you still can have an idea about the person you are talking to. Most of the time when a girl doesn't show a photo on her page is not coz she is ugly, but because she is really worried about her privacy.

Okay, you will bump into some catfishes too, but here comes that what sort of photos do you show on your profile? You will need to send a face pic with your messages otherwise you have no chance. And your profile is full of cock pics. If you are comfortable showing face and cock picks together to random strangers (who can be even your colleagues, IRL friends or catfishes who will download them and use them elsewhere) then it's fine. If not, I think cock pictures don't help that much to be worth showing. Personally, I only show/send photos that I could share on my instagram too, soo even if I send them to a catfish/someone I know, what can go wrong? They have my face photo showing me in a bar, or they have a photo of me in boxer, like if I was on the beach. What wrong can even a catfish do with it? They can fuck off... Yes, I'm here, as I'm single and I like girls, like sex, nothing is a secret about it, even in my real life. But I'd not feel comfortable making full nudes of myself (possibly) circulating on the web.

Not just you. You have to realise your chances of a meet are a million to one. I've been on fab nearly 14 years and only had 1 meet. The odds are against you. There is a good chance of loads of chats and promising situations, like I have had, but every single one stabs you in the back or let's you down, so accept you may never get a meet, though there's always that slim chance that keeps you on here.

You're definitely not the only one. We recently opened up our filters, most of the messages we receive are shockingly poor, from profiles that are poor. One message and profile piqued our interest out of 100+, so 99+ won't get a reply and are very unlikely to get a reply off others.

So coming from another single guy here your profile and pics basically tells me you have a cock and want to do more things maybe being a little more specific about what your looking for and what you have already done/like and have a pic without your cock in it

Given that they posted that message over a year ago, it's probably safe to assume that they won't remember specifics

But from our experience, the messages are inane and unengaging far more often than not.

From OPs decent status it looks like he's still not got much further..

Just wanted to say to all of the guys saying 'what do women generally want' that I'm afraid it isn't as easy as figuring out what one of us likes and the rest follow suit...rather than think of us as 'women' as a collective how about understanding that we are all different? Some of us like a dick pic or two, some of us don't. Some of us prefer a long winded message, some of us don't.

To be honest, personally I am not constantly looking for people to play with. I dip in and out of the scene depending on my vanilla life and how I feel in general so there is every chance that you could send me a message one week which I'm not interested in, but the next week I could be.

My point is, it's not something you can control - just try and be yourselves, show a little bit of personality, don't be super keen on hot and heavy stuff, yes it's a site for hook ups but some people like to get to know someone first, it doesn't mean marriage is on their mind!

The absolute best advice is always go to clubs - the singles guys that I know are successful on here are all guys who are regulars or semi regulars at clubs. That doesn't mean you're always going to get laid at a club, but your chances are much higher than sending massive messages on fab, and you can pick and choose an event that may suit you.

Yep, good advice here. My success rate on here is somewhere round about 0.0%. My success rate at clubs isn't 100%, or anywhere near, but it's a lot higher than zero. Maybe it doesn't help on here or in clubs that I'm pretty picky about who I play with, which probably lowers my chances. Probably 40-50% of my club visits result in some kind of play, though it seems to have been much less recently. Other nights are 'successful' in terms of chatting, playing pool, enjoying the jaccuzzi, and such like.

But you do need to have a strong 'expect nothing' mindset and be prepared to go with the flow. I've had some (thankfully not many) horrendous nights where I've ended up sat by myself all night, not been able to start a decent conversation, gotten nowhere... It could easily become quite depressing if you let it. But those nights are a minority, and generally being there, as a real person, with real personality, is the best way to get anywhere. On here, you're just another profile. It might be a nice one, but it's just a profile.

No. Widen your horizons. The men who like men on here have a great time. Once you work out how to avoid the wasters, of course.
