There is discreet and then there is the online equivalent of going into pub wearing bin bags and a gimp mask with a sign on your chest saying "Please fuck me". I think you need to show a bit more of yourself...pics and words. You can still be discreet. I would assume your messages are in a similar vain so nobody is going to reply.

You literally have nothing on show, no one knows of there's any attraction, if your trying not to get caught out cheating then just dont cheat!

If you think it'll reflect badly on your profession then don't add a face pic, there's plenty of discreet pics that can be taken.

You'll never get anywhere with a bland and nondescript profile. No one can argue with that though as it is your choice to use Fab the way you wish.

Good luck

Give up unless you are prepared to show a bit more of yourself. Or go to a club so people can see you in real life.

"Hey, need to be discreet so profile doesn’t look the best, but other than that I’m I think I’m doing everything alright but still have people reluctant to meet or reply, any ideas what I’m doing wrong "

First thing to do is use your message filters to block men, you won't need to ask them to stop messaging on your profile then.

Otherwise just say a little about yourself and what you'd like from a meet. Put a photo up that nobody can recognise and message the people you like the look of.

All that is no guarantee of success though.

What were your expectations of fab when you joined?

Hi OP, I'm not allowed to critique your profile because you haven't really asked for profile advice, but I'll echo some of the above sentiments on here.

You really need to create something that stands out and which represents ·you· as opposed to a generic run-of-the-mill profile.

Your profile doesn't really tell me much, if at all.

Good luck.

Not that red-herring again. We are allowed to critique the profile as it is relevant to the topic of thread about not having success. As per Forum rules...

"No nit-picking please

Unless someone specifically asks for their profile to be critiqued or if it's relevant to the thread e.g. someone is wondering why they're not having success, please don't critique their profile or be mean about it."

You need some pics on there and something in your bio that tells people something about what you are looking for and what you can offer.

Photos do not have to be your face or be recognisable. Just a body shot, fully dressed or in underwear. Chest pics, bum pics etc etc. Show your penis if you wish but not too many shots of that.

When most of us ladies look at a profile the first thing we do is look at pics. If there are no pics we will generally not look any further.

If the photos catch put eye we will read your bio.

If your bio tells us nothing then again most will not take it any further than that. You need to sell yourself.

Look at who's near and then look at the verified guys then act on that information.

It's literally pointless you being on here unless you do something different!

Also, block guy's messaging you, don't need to state it on your profile

"Someone fancy just private messaging me with a good guide on how to step up my profile, admit it shouldn’t be this difficult just a newby "

Good luck with that one, OP! A lot of people use poorly written profiles as good filter, and the same goes about not changing the age range to represent what age category you're interested in. It screams total laziness, unless you'd really happily fuck a 99-year-old?

There is tons of profile advice on here, and 99% of it is relevant to everyone.

At the moment, your profile is equivalent to going into a shop with absolutely nothing on display apart from tiny "sale" sign in the corner, barely visible. There is no indication to what this shop is offering, there does not seem to be any light inside, yet it's open and want people to come in and shop. When on both sides of it, there are at least slightly brighter shop windows giving at least some indication what the shop is actually selling. Which one would you choose, OP?

Consider this - you're searching for a potential interest. You come across a profile similar to yours. Are you going to engage with it and send the first message?

I believe you get out of fab what you put into fab.

No pictures, no admin verification, talk of needing to be discreet. Those aren't profiles that personally appeal to me.

I'm guessing you've updated your profile now ,

Set your pic as your profile pic as many of us will straight delete messages from shadows.

Some more pics wouldn't go amiss either if you can ,you don't have to show anything identifiable ,you can be dressed with head cropped off if you prefer.

i understand you want to be discreet but having it on your header is what people will see first and might assume married man and not read any further.

Nobody on fab should need to say they need discretion it should be a given that anyone on here can expect it unless they state otherwise

Why do you need someone to take you to a club. This is a real pet peeve of mine. I get loads of messages asking if they can take me or join me like they are doing me a favour.

I go on my own and if I can then so can you.

I’d maybe reword that bit.

A few more pics would be great - I don’t have face pics on public similar reasons - my job.

We have all been newbies until that first step into a club.

Regarding tattoos: there are apps that allow you to either edit them out or cover them.

Also, please keep your replies to the forum, no need for private messages.

"...any ideas what I’m doing wrong "

Yes. Expectations and a sense of entitlement.

You do realise that men massively outnumber women on fab, do you?

It's like over 100 men to every woman on here.

So many men come into the forums asking for profile advice and 'where am I going wrong?' threads, such as this one, which clearly shows that you all think there's some magic formula, secret password or handshake or something to being more successful on fab when there just isn't.

People who are on fab aren't here to shag anyone who asks them. Everyone is here for their own reasons and their own enjoyment and you have to consider that fab is just like the 'real' world in as much as people will only be interested in you if they find you attractive or like your personality.

You've been here 5 weeks.

That's nothing. Most single men don't get their first meet until they've been on fab for about a year.

People need to get to know you. You need to have been here a while so that others can be confident you're not going to delete your profile once you've got your kicks.

And as for the excuse about your face pictures, answer me this : Do you think anyone else from your work is on here? If someone was to 'out' you to your employer, surely they would also be inadvertantly 'outing' themselves - as they'd need to be members on here in order to see your pictures.

Just be yourself, lower your expectations and be patient

Set your profile to an area that you're comfortable with others getting to know you and be clear which areas you're interested in traveling to.

Almost everyone wants discrimination, it goes without saying.

Read the many posts from single men who struggle to get meets and adopt the relevant tips and feedback given to them. Have you seen many of them OP?

Indeed. To clarify, Unless someone specifically asks for their profile to be critiqued or if it's relevant to the thread e.g. someone is wondering why they're not having success, please don't critique their profile or be mean about it. We want the forum to be open and friendly to newbies and everyone starts somewhere.

So, whilst OP hasn't asked for profile advice, in this instance, such advice is relevant to the thread.

There's lots of good ideas here. Seen as how you asked for ideas and got advice. Never mind the pedants!

I'll echo the 'ideas' that suggest youll benefit from more photos. Just practice and you'll get better. I use constraints to push my creativity in my photos. For example I didn't allow music to take the same type of photo twice. And I only take photos when I'm feeling attractive.

Have a look at guys profiles. Some of them have great photos that vary from classy to raunchy to hilarious.

I aim to have a gallery of photos that will give an impression of the type of person I am. You'll find your niche just keep at it and delete mercilessly the ones that are not up to scratch for you.

Another idea you might consider is editing your profile over time. Read it every week or so. Keep chipping away at the extraneous information that goes without saying like discretion, hygiene etc

Paragraphs!

And don't be afraid to tell people things about yourself that might not seem germain to having sex! Some people are funny (I'm not) some are succinct (I'm not) some are are articulate. I am so I lean into that.

And finally, ignore the red herrings about how long it takes to get a veri or a meet. Be bold, be charming and polite and never push harder than you've been invited to. Flirting is opening a door. Propositioning is inviting a conversation to end.

I went to clubs on my own. It's easier than you think.

If it increases your chances of attracting the right people for you it might be worth getting over it!

Lots of women like a nice butt. Not than you think don't care at all snug a six pack.

The game (my game) is to maximise the chances of attracting the sort of people in interested in.

You gotta have some game. You'll figure that out over time. You're no it's good. Your a good looking guy. Your asking questions and taking feed back on board.

Just for that you are already a country mile ahead of the many many men who do the opposite to what you just did.

If you have to be *that* discreet then I wouldn't bother being on fab at all. You'll ha2be to show more than that.

Also, this line implies you're here for the easy women:

'unfortunately the woman that are on the same level as me don’t come easy.'

You also say you're looking for something regular. That's fine, but will also limit responses. You might consider adding that after you've had some experience on here, but totally up you of course.

I'd add some interests to your profile.

Men are allowed to be anxious about entering a new environment they have no experience of. I like the idea of attending a club but I am horribly awkward and anxious in environments filled with people where I don’t know anyone. Even a work social event that includes lots of people I don’t know fills me with anxiety. I’m broadly an introverted 121 person unless I’m comfortable and know most people in the room well. No shame in wanting to connect with someone who has experience to effectively hold your hand. A club is a very scary experience to most people who haven’t experienced it before.

This is really not true. There are lots of thing somebody disposed to cause trouble could do without outing themselves. I had a lady once threaten to put pics of me on a village notice board or post through neighbours letterboxes if I didn't give her money.

You've been here 5 weeks.

That's nothing. Most single men don't get their first meet until they've been on fab for about a year.

People need to get to know you. You need to have been here a while so that others can be confident you're not going to delete your profile once you've got your kicks.

And as for the excuse about your face pictures, answer me this : Do you think anyone else from your work is on here? If someone was to 'out' you to your employer, surely they would also be inadvertantly 'outing' themselves - as they'd need to be members on here in order to see your pictures.

Just be yourself, lower your expectations and be patient

This is something iv said time and time again about exposing themselves while exposing others...I don't understand why people just don't get this!

This is really not true. There are lots of thing somebody disposed to cause trouble could do without outing themselves. I had a lady once threaten to put pics of me on a village notice board or post through neighbours letterboxes if I didn't give her money. "

Some careers would be bought into disrepute. And when you are dealing with members of the public some may try and hold it against you. Bribery etc. and why does everyone man and their dog need to know about my sex life.

I'm always amazed at how many single dads there are on Fab compared to the real world.

I don't think I have ever seen a profile saying "I'm a single mum".

Single dad's know that their availability and ability to accommodate are often interpreted as playing away. I think that's why most single dad's explain anyway.

Sometimes I write it on my profile and often times I don't.

Times have changed too (I can only speak for Ireland) and there are a lot more dads acting as primary carers or in equal co parenting relationships.

Also there's plenty of profiles where single moms say so. Plenty

Maybe I should mention on my profile that I'm a widow with four children

Of course that is your choice. No one should judge you for it.

Mainly because when people see a man's profile that says they can't accommodate they presume he's married but those assumptions don't seem to be made as often about women.

Men therefore feel they have to add their reasons to their profile.

"Iv just got the experience to know that anything and everything goes that’s what I mean by that, and a lot may say that but…"

You're very young compared to many on here, so many will doubt the level of experience you claim ... if that was (is) the case, it's actually really concerning given that you're a single parent.

In addition, you have lots more text but there's no indication of what any potential meet would get out of it. You still only have one photo as well.

You mention clubs. This is your your best bet, but don't expect someone to be willing to go with you or to have sex. Treat a club visit as a fun night out with potential extras.

"Ok. No limits? Red flag. I want someone who has enough experience to know how they do and don’t want to play. High sex drive? I mean, a lot of men think they have high sex drives, but…"

I had a non-fab lady tell me she had no limits.

It took two minutes to find the first limit (anal) and find a few basic kinks she had never heard of (water sports, for one)

It's liberating when you realise people don't give a shit about you as much as you do. I wouldn't worry so much

Humble bragging about a high sex drive and women being generally unable to match it may well put off the women you seek.

Some may see it as a challenge to try and break you, and some women on here are more than capable of leaving you rocking in a corner like a bosnian warchild. It does come across as slightly arrogant in my opinion.

Give up unless you are prepared to show a bit more of yourself. Or go to a club so people can see you in real life. "

The old 'Go to a club ' stock answer . Maybe not everyone is interested in going to clubs. He has plenty of info in his bio ,although only one photo .

Yes, the old "go to a club" answer, because it works if you want to meet plenty of same-minded people under one roof. And for those that seriously think they want to be part of the lifestyle, clubs, and organized socials, are the best places to start. Yes, they are not for everyone- if your social skills are near zero and all you can do in a presence of a woman, or God forbid a couple, is stare or take your cock out straight away, then forget it, stay at home and complain you're getting nowhere on Fab.

Don't get me wrong, I am very much not a social butterfly, most of the time I prefer people watching than actually chatting, but clubs helped me get at least a little bit out of my shell.

And OP, if you think your local club may be full of local people, or people you know- I have been going to my local club for years and only once saw someone there who I knew. Never anyone from work, for example.
