I can only speak for Myself but if I'm not interested in somebody's outlook, personality, looks, then I wouldn't be interested in meeting them obviously. Sometimes the profile gives things away other times it doesn't.

I know a few people who have left this site because they didn't feel comfortable for whatever reason.

We tend to look for people who make an effort with their profile.

If it’s detailed and has enticing pics instead of cock pics then we know they are at least on the same wavelength as us and use FAB how we do.

Unless you are among the elite in terms of attractiveness, online dating is going to be a challenge for any single straight guy - due to the gender imbalance as you mentioned.

I don’t think there is any formula to “crack” Fab. Try to be the best version of yourself, polite and well-mannered, and keep your expectations low.

Just bear in mind before even reading or opening your message most women will look at your profile first.

If there is nothing there to catch their eye or pique their interest your message will usually get deleted or ignored.

Hi op

How have you come to the conclusion that it's 250 per woman to every guy? Not everyone is needy and prefer a touch of class some have long standing friends then there is preference bb some don't. it's quite competitive then you've got the ball breaker distance each location will either be low or higher percentage or mid range hence travel to explore further

Yep. People often says 100 to 1. Now it is inflated to 250 but in my area I would say more like 10 to 1. Still not great numbers and not easy but nowhere near as hard as people make out.

OP profile wise you can browse the hundreds of other men near you and assess how you compare with text and pics. imagine you are a lady with even 10 men to choose from never mind 100s. Profile aside there is always the usual advice of getting out there to group socials etc. and building a network.

It's not easy on here for anyone tbh

People think that because there are more men than women that the women are having a whale of a time when they aren't

For every 50 messages a women receives probably 49 of those people are either disrespectful, don't match what they're looking for or they don't find them attractive

If a specific woman isn't interested, she not suddenly going to become interested because there are less men available

We cannot be everyone's cup of tea. Some people have preferences on age,body type, height,fetishes,bi/ straight, and even dick size. Fab has always been hard but now due to the influx of childish knobs who insult when you say no think you everyone is being more choosey who/when they meet. Also most on here do not look to play regularly, they like us dip in and out of fab when they feel the urge.

"I Always reply to private messages "

Easy for us single men to reply to any message. Any account that has a lady attached to it will receive messages in the hundreds. It’s near unfeasible to respond to everything (unless it becomes a full time job), hence why “they” leave these messages on read.

In all honesty, I find no matter how much you express yourself to be a decent person in your messages and have an “excellent” profile that 99.9% of the time your message won’t even be read, let alone replied to.

I know it’s been said many many times but as a man your best bet when it comes to getting meets is to get away from your phone screen and get yourself out there to clubs and organised socials where your personality can really shine through. There, you can be taken on face value as opposed to prejudged like on here because of certain characteristics you have that you have little to no control over.

Some profiles, you just look at, see the lack of effort and decide it isn't worth putting any effort into even a simple "no thank you".

We personally open up a profile before we even open a message. If there is nothing in the bio that gives clues to who the person is, what they're looking etc them I'm not interested. Likewise, if the profile is uninteresting pics... poor lighting, just peen, close ups of chest etc then I'm not interested.

Men often really sell themselves short on here. I'm not saying the most amazing profile ever will help but its something over nothing at all. Past that, it's easier to meet people when you go out where the people are

The number of meets can be equal to the amount of effort that a person makes in their profile ....

I know I personally look for personality, info on what they're looking for (so then work out if that could be me) would we be compatible sexual and as people (depending on the type of meet)

I defo don't look for the kind of 'ask me' profiles

I would take no notice of the numbers on this site.

Its a bit irrelevant as 75% have no intention of meeting.

If you make a bit of effort, put yourself about at socials, clubs and holidays all the rest will drop into place.

We've met some brilliant single guys but they are few in numbers.

Most on here talk a good fight !!

Good luck.

As others have elluded to, most people that you message will check out your profile before even considering opening whatever you might have sent them. If they're unimpressed, they'll either delete it straight away or just leave it unread.

Because your original thread post doesn't specifically ask for assistance, or necessarily personalise the difficulties you're experiencing - rather making assumptions about the general experiences of the majority of users - though not entirely accurate, it could be argued that your post doesn't fall into the boundaries set out in the forum rules regarding profile advice, so I'm going to refrain from volunteering any as I don't really fancy a spell on the naughty step.

I would ask you though, if you came across a profile like yours, would you be interested in finding out more?

Totally agree. For me it’s face pic, or at least a couple of different pics - not just cock. I want to see someone’s body, their style and het a sense of them.

A personal blurb which tells me something about then - doesn’t have to be long but more than just ‘I’m here and wanna play’. I want to be able to get a sense of them

If there's 250 men to each woman you have to work hard at standing out.

You also need to use all the tools Fab gives you, a biog, photo gallery, messages, the forums, clubs, meet forum, meet posts, socials and group socials.

We will just echo what most people say. Get out and meet people in real life. We regularly go to parties and nearly always play with people at them. We rarely meet people online. We've had one meet from Fab all year.

Yes same as me from Nottingham. Men do not get the attention like women which is fine but when you try your best it's feels like there nothing more can be done. So it's wait a d see.

Just to echo what others have said. You need to stand out, we get 30+ messages a day and it’s impossible to respond to all of them. Nothing beats going to clubs and socials to get to know people in the scene. For all the messages we have only had two successful meets from Fab (both single guys) A decent profile and a veri or two and you’ll be on your way x

Yes but you had time 13 hours ago to write a status update about looking for nipple play/boobs. You have more words in that status update than your profile!

You have to resign yourself that the female and couple profiles willingbto meet men is extremely limited. These that are here have very specific requirements/fantasies that most of us here are unlikely to meet, and so are unlikely to be responded to.

It is not how it is if you put some effort in and make yourself appealing. And the 250 to 1 number seems to be getting traction More like 10 to 1 but it’s a good excuse for no effort

You raise a good point there.

Once we take away the women who are too far away, then the ones out of my age preference or that are playing away, and the women who are not looking for someone like me. There are probably 20-30 suitable women I want to reach out too. I’m quite choosey, so I can probably whittle that down to high teens on profile Content and aesthetics.

The fallacy is that you are going to message every women on the site. Cos every woman isn’t going to appeal to you.

Unless ‘any hole is a goal’ which is just disrespectful in the extreme.

OP, you have posted on a public forum, asking why you are not getting any meets. You got some great advice that so far you not only chose to disregard hiding behind having a busy job, but you also chose to snap at people who gave you helpful advice and called you out on not doing anything with that advice. It is not going to get you what you are after. On contrary, it is going to make it harder for you on here as many women do read forum posts. I myself do regularly, and I have messaged a guy who is now my partner (will be 5 years on Halloween) because of how he was presenting himself on the forum.

I have also blocked a few people I have met before in person for how they were presenting themselves on the forum.

So please, less snapping back at people who are trying to be helpful and more having a look at yourself and how you want to portray yourself.

me and a friend did a rough calculation based on users active in the last 24hrs. Although it’s not 100% accurate we worked out in our area there was approximately 30to1. Within my friends group the women were averaging 200 new messages a day. So yes the 250 is overblown as a single guy you’re not competing with 29 other guys for the attention of one woman you’re competing with hundreds for the a small handful of women. Some guys will be able to garner the attention of multiple women, others will get nothing. It’s known as prices law or The Pareto principle.

These forums have helped me a lot. My personal take. There is an assumption this website is easy to use and constant hooking up. The slightest inclination it's hard work or you have to actually demonstrate what's potentially on offer. Negatively and complaining ensues.

30 to 1 is more like it in most areas. It is 10-15 near me. Plus also 10-15 single males to couples looking men. Of course it is not that simple as some will be meeting more than others and getting messages from out of area but it's a rough guide.

Yes some ladies get lots of messages. My experience with friends is nowhere near 200 every day (ditto with couples in my experience as a couple) unless looking for meets but you are right there is lots to sift through. And guess what.......first thing most will do 1. Delete the one or two word messages 2. Delete ones with horrible/offensive profile names. 3. Check profile and probably delete those if nothing written of substance or one or two crap pictures making no effort.

Laughing at reference to the Pareto principle (economic graduate here) which in swinging terms would be that 20% of men get 80% of the action. Probably more like 5% of men get 95% of the action mainly because 95% fail at the first hurdle.

I've known ladies put up Meet requests before and really struggle to find a sensible man who will actually meet. Either crap profile, crap messages or just all talk.

The Pareto principle works in nearly everything that you apply it to. Again from reading friends inbox’s there is a clear theme of dick pics two messages and meet now messages. Understanding basic steps and following them with get people twice as far.

Nearly everything is a stretch especially using the 80/20 numbers. More like applies to many areas where there is an uneven distribution of outcomes. I would say 20% of people quoting the Pareto principle account for 80% of the cases of the correct application of the Pareto principle but it sounds good.

Well Prices law can’t be applied to everything either or do you think 50% of every outcome can be accounted for by the square root of the number of things contributing to the outcome? Blatantly not true in most cases. If you reduce it to just meaning an uneven distribution of outcomes then yes can use the terms but then they become meaningless as virtually everything has an uneven distribution of outcomes.

It’s hard to give exact numbers and figures when it comes to swinging, but understanding it to a rudimentary level along side the hierarchy of values explains why some people have more success than others. You can be as good looking as you like if you don’t know how to portray yourself and have the right mindset then you will struggle.

Unless you are among the elite in terms of attractiveness, online dating is going to be a challenge for any single straight guy - due to the gender imbalance as you mentioned.

I don’t think there is any formula to “crack” Fab. Try to be the best version of yourself, polite and well-mannered, and keep your expectations low.

This ‘elite’ you talk of still have to work at this, I do really well but don’t consider myself ’elite attractiveness’ "

"There are 3 ways to massively increase your success rate on here...

3, Go to....seriously, are you gonna make me type it again?

Maybe not everyone is interested in organised socials . To me that seems like a sort of swinging speed dating . Don't people ever meet for a one on one public social for a coffee or bite to eat to see if there is a spark and attraction. ?

Don't worry about socials and clubs if they're not your thing. Many are cliquey and ignore men anyway. "

That is your opinion maybe let him decide for his self. All clubs are different

Agreed as a single guy I have made some really good friends going to Jaydees. I do far better going to Jaydees than I do being on fab. Going out gives you a much better opportunity to show off your personality then sitting behind a computer screen or on your phone

Take a no reply as equal to a reply that says no thanks. The experience that we have here is sufficient for people to know their preferences, concerning replies after rejection.

The rules guide you to move on, when you get no reply. Keep life simple and do so.

It's when you arrange meets and either no shows or cancel on day that I find demoralising

Have you actually been to one before? How do you know they’re not for you? Fair enough if you’ve put yourself out there by going and the experience wasn’t a pleasant one but, if you’re just flat out refusing to (which you’re within your right to do) with little to no rationale behind that doesn’t make a whole world of sense.

"The site is getting harder nowadays, people just seem to not reply,

I get there is 250 men to each lady member, i aslo get with comments men are rude or pushy,

But when being nice whats the days tip nowadays.

Unless you are among the elite in terms of attractiveness, online dating is going to be a challenge for any single straight guy - due to the gender imbalance as you mentioned.

I don’t think there is any formula to “crack” Fab. Try to be the best version of yourself, polite and well-mannered, and keep your expectations low.

This ‘elite’ you talk of still have to work at this, I do really well but don’t consider myself ’elite attractiveness’

You must be doing something right .You have 39 meets veris in the last year ,I have none in the year and half I've been on here ."

Maybe, just maybe, he got his verifications from clubs and group socials, the very thing you don't want to do.

One group social and you could get a dozen verifications in a few hours.

Agree.

This is not the place to get dates tbh. There are far better sites or apps for single guys no matter how polite and engaging you are.

I couldn't agree more! Having been to several clubs both as a single guy, and as a couple, and experienced the difference of feeling welcome, I would always recommend to a mate to visit clubs with a female friend alongside you

Just got to be yourself. I’m new to this whole scene (April 2023) and have had a fair bit of success. Don’t be a dick is what I will say and get yourself to clubs and make yourself known to people.

"I Always reply to private messages "

And nobody gave you a medal yet? That's unfair.

How many messages do you receive on average, daily?

People need to realise what they write or post to their profile can effect if someone's gonna meet them, with us it's pushiness
