FabSwingers.com forum: Do people read Profile

Please can I ask a general question especially for the guys on this site. Why do you not read people's profiles? Does it not make it easier to know what the person is looking for and also to not get rejected. We have profiles for a reason to write what we like and don't like as we all have personal preferences so why do people not read them.

I'm so confused. 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Honestly I'm assuming it's just a numbers game situation most of the time. Cast a wide net with a copy and paste message that maybe gets tweaked and hope that it catches someone's attention.

Obviously it would be better to cultivate a message to someone's profile but in somes eyes they could put a lot of effort into a message and get exactly the same response (or lack of one)... So they end up going down the numbers game. Annoying but just the way it is. Easy to recognise and move on though at least.

I’m sure like everything some do and some don’t. The ones that do probably don’t fit your criteria and so don’t message to make it feel so unbalanced?

I have what I would like to think is an "unusual" profile pic.

So at the end of my profile I ask a question about it.

Probably 80% of the replies I get do not reference this, and I therefore I presume that they did not actually read to the end of the profile.

It is a useful filter though!

Quite agree and our mail box is full of males implying they've read it or some inane question which is answered in our rather long winded profile and as we do keep saying if you can't be bothered to read we can't be bothered to reply and 99.9% of messages from males now just end up in the bin and blocking them BUT we also say couples can be just as bad if not worse if we had a £1 for every message from couples at stupid o clock asking if we are "Up" for some ? we'd be living high on the hog ? loll xx

If I'm messaging someone it's only because I've read their profile and believe that they meet my needs and I meet their and that I think that there a very good chance that we'd get on well together; I'm dyslexic though so sometimes I miss read things but I do try very hard to make sure that I haven't.

When I'm in a completely bratty or arsey mood, and I get a question like "what are you into" or "what are you looking for" I will ask them if they have been looked at my profile, or if they just looked at the pictures. All the answers to those questions are on my profile... mind you I can always tell who has read it too... "what's the name you like to be called" I'm not telling you unless I'm gonna meet you 🙄🙄🙄

So yeah, i think people actually reading and taking note of what is on there is very few and far between...

Yes, I always read the profile, for all the reasons you outline and in case there is a like or request I don't cover (eg bbc = not me). I find profiles far more acurate than pictures for gauging someone I'll like and get on with.

Does it reduce the number of rejections - no, not that I'm aware of, but it does reduce the number of people I put time into writing to.

I always read the profile but it is so disheartening when you then craft a message specifically showing where your interests align and then send it, to see the person has gone off-line and it remains yellow and unread until it disappears with time.

So nowadays I often do a couple of sentences to show I’ve read the profile and add a more generic ‘cut and paste’ about me - then also watch as it stays yellow and unread…

I do, thoroughly so. I even messaged people without meeting one minor "requirement", but I clearly stated I was aware of it and made my case for having gotten in touch anyway. I got "forgiven" on most occasions (and politely turned down on the others).

From all the complaints I read on the forum, I do believe many single guys really underestimate the power of a decent (as in, civilised, nothing you wouldn't tell your new neighbour... almost 😈), well-composed first message. Not that mine are perfect, mind you, but for being a newbie and a single male, I'd say I've gotten a pretty satisfying rate of people engaging in conversation.

My experience of this is that some people don't believe the profile text applies to them.

As every conversation I've had here in 8 years has been with women and couples I can only speak about their attitudes.

I haven't sent an opening message in 4½ years so when others message me they often start in with a list of instructions of things I must to in order to meet them or fuck the wife.

They ignore the fact I'm not meeting and when I am it will only happen after chatting for quite a while but they still insist on meeting now.

They have in the past ignored the fact that I'm straight and told me if I agree to play bi they will add me to their to-do list for future events.

Some have acknowledged that they didn't read my bio because after all it's just bullshit anyway as men don't have options on fab and should be grateful for any attention especially at my age.

Some women have asked me to make exceptions for them, travel ridiculously long distances because they are worth it and in one case told me to dump anyone holding me back on fab and start fucking for fun.

I'm sure there are lots of men who have unreasonable expectations but the level of entitlement it takes to tell a complete stranger in a first message to lose the beard or you'll never touch me or resort to the old favourite "Do you seriously not know who we are and how we can end your fab journey?" when I refuse is beyond comprehension.

Some people are lazy about reading profiles but some are above the need to as they believe their status entitles them to priority boarding.

Just want to add - it's not just single guys. We find that single women and couples are actually worse (granted most of them are single guys pretending) and can only assume they think they're special so don't need to read profiles.

Of the messages we get, those from single guys are probably 50% one word, crude rubbish showing no sign of reading our profile. Of those we get from couples or single women, 90% are one word, crude rubbish.

If we were to write you I would start the message saying I have no F-ing clue how many, the photo is certainly unusual. I'd guess two, but it could be one, just you... Hard to say...

I've got two rules written in my profile blurb. I am very clear that if a rule is broken, you will be blocked. I still have to block at least ten people a week because they have broken both rules. I tell them why they're being blocked before I do it, and had a guy a few days ago begging me to change my mind and give him a chance. He sent 8 messages in under 5 minutes, and when I said I didn't want to talk to him, I suddenly became too fat and ugly and a stuck up bitch.

I'm picky, there's to much time wasting on here and I really can't be chewed anymore trying to work.out if a random Internet stranger is being polite to me, just enjoying attention or is genuinly intrested in meeting.

As has been said, perception of how many people don't read the profile but message anyway even if you're incompatible is skewed by the fact that you'll never be aware of the people that DO read the profile, see you weren't what they were looking for, and therefore don't message.

All that being said it can be frustrating when people don't. My kinks are quite niche, so I mention them so it isn't a surprise down the line. I also try to emphasise I don't do the 'meet now' type meets.

Basically I hope that by having my profile read, people that I'm never going to mesh with don't have their time wasted.

I will admit that when I first came to this site, I was not always good at the profile reading. Since then, I have appreciated the work that goes into a solid profile, and that you will never get anywhere with a person that is not after the same as you. Therefore, sending a wink or a message is really pointless plus can be frustrating to them.

Hopefully, I have learnt my lesson now. Not only do I read profiles, but I have worked to make mine a simpler and better read for anyone kind enough to check mine out.

Fab is for like minded people that match needs, and not a cheap knocking shop where you get exactly what you like all the time

Ours, as some people have said, is quite long and possibly "too long".

However, as a couple you do tend to get quite a lot of messages daily - other couples will atest - and we felt a longer profile may hopefully cut down on the usual questions people had asked previously if we included it in our profile at the beginning.

Some people do, although we still have quite a few who have clearly read what they "want to read".

I think the majority of guys come on when they're horny so aren't always thinking with their brain! Personally I will always read a profile before looking at the photos. It's no good looking at photos only to discover in the text there's something that discounts you. Like yours for instance, you don't like hairy men, so that would rule me out and I wouldn't message. But that's me.

We did a count on the numbers who did read our profile.

About 5%.

Single guys are the worst offenders but not by much.

We always respond asking why they didn't read our profile in full.

Most say they did but when asked to read it over again they say oh sorry didn't see that bit.

How they respond is how we go forward.

We always say thanks so much for reading our profile for those who do.

I will skim read, and then go back in detail if the profile is well written and of interest. I presume that the profile is a summary, and a route to discussion and chat. I feel that some are so comprehensive that they start to become forbidding and an end in themselves. I would prefer to read about what a person likes rather than a list of activities that will get a person banned.

Outside our age range, miles away, suggesting a very specific sex act I make no reference to at all in our profile and asking for things that I could not marry up to our profile (i.e no clue how they thought we’d be interested)

Going by the messages past and present in my inbox it’s a big fat disappointing no.

It’s not just guys though, plenty of couples don’t read profiles and in my experience can be far pushier than single men.

Most people in here don't bother reading profiles. As there own wants, needs and agenda is far more important. And showing you how big there cock is (or isn't) Shame as genuine couples like ourselves, just get pissed off instead of putting plenty of fun in front of people.

Am I the only person that is finding this thread quite negative. I do sympathise with couples etc that find us single guys a bit of a menace, and I do try not to bother people who clearly are after specific needs. I am not nes to Fab, but am new to these forums, and was hoping for fun chat and banter but I am starting to feel a bit alienated.

We've had everything on here from out n out racism to full on abuse cuz they can't get a meet. The second you say no the vileness starts. Don't get us wrong some lovely guys on here so respectful and genuine. We just wish fab would do something about the scum that hurl abuse. We know they don't as we block n report them. They are still on the block list. So fab don't remove them. Shame this site used to be so much fun. Now it's just hard work!!

We’ve had our profile hidden for about 6 months until a couple of weeks ago. We’ve had all the usual silly messages since unhiding it.

Then on Saturday I decided to put a little bossy, picky ‘ don’t bother if’ paragraph at the top of our profile and miraculously all the nonsense messages (fingers crossed) have stopped!

So maybe people read profiles more than we originally thought.

A lot of people do read profiles, send an email suited to the profile and don't get a reply and moan..or get a reply but it's not what they want and moan.. . Is there a theme? Life's so tough.

Whilst there is no denying that some "guys on this site" do not read people's profiles, I sometimes find that women fail to read or even grasp their own profiles. They will message in the first instance and then engage in monosyllabic dialogue whilst expecting me to be verbose in conversation. The irony being that their own profiles mandate - "won't tolerate one-word responses" or "only interested in people with conversational skills" or "not looking to meet after just two short messages" or something similar. Some women need to adhere to their own caveats.

80% of the single female profiles aren’t exactly long; “I’m a xx year old female looking for fun” is usually all you get to work with, but otherwise, if I don’t think we’ll be a likely match, I don’t waste my time with a message

Depends how ridiculously deluded the profile is, people need to chill about the requirements and time they consume, ensuring they get a wink, add or photo like….sadly many people on here get either arrogant or let the ratio balance go to their heads….:

If that’s the case and I happened to see it, directly I’d do the opposite, just so I can see the status, like the whole of fab can and presume they care….

This is no dig either, many profiles have made it an easy read, or give off something to catch my eye, then absolutely….

Sadly both male and females percentages here have the brightest peacock feathers flexing, because bots catfishes or freaks give them the validation…,.

You’d be surprise how many people are in need of a walk outside and clear the cobwebs from their mirrors haha

I think guys are ingored if they do and ignored if they don't.

So to be fair I don't blame them for scatter messaging and hoping something sticks.

But at the end of the day we have to say "if you want to meet couples go to clubs".

Fab is saturated with guys too many of whome are pic hunters and wanking dreamers. Connection is out there not in here.

Here is my thoughts

I rarely message people without having either met them in a club or been recommended them as good people now a days. Why because I am fighting that other 300 males that are messaging them

I know I am not the Adonis of the male species, I know I have no tatts, I know I can laugh at myself, I know I am overweight. However I can have a chat and a laugh and crack a joke or two. Occasional I can flirt but shit at it lmao

That’s why I go to clubs, I can be myself….also I am picky when looking for people. I don’t drive so only would message people in London or Manc, if they have no single guys, I don’t even bother. If I am out of age range don’t bother. If there pics suggest bareback with a different person that don’t bother also. That’s before I have even read what they are in to

If I have looked at pics / vids and something catches my eye on profile I may message to say hello. I would say it’s rare that I message people that are not from clubs scene

"Totally. But what gets me is they do that but expect the ladies to dress up make and effort but they have put none in. "

Your point is 100% correct - and that type of response from guys IS definitely poor. That being so it's also true to say that guys are;

A) Expected to make 100% of the running.

B) Are always wrong.

C) Are expected to write an individual message to every single woman they approach.

D) Are required to referene that profile, selling themselves as compatible.

E) Utilise and display a good use of humour.

F) Are expected to send face photos,potentially to someone who won't do the same.

G) Are expected by all(including the other male 'chancers' who do nothing but try to gain favour by slating other fellas).

H) Are told to expect absolutely nothing.

I) Largely get absolutely nothing.

I could go on, but while I'm very much onside with the women as I know the kind of crap they get sent on here, all a woman has to do is log on......nothing else - and that's what the vast majority of women do.

Sifting through unpleasant, sometimes nasty drivel from some pretty horrible men is something that should never need to happen. I despise that approach and wish it weren't so, but in the same way that all of the above is never going to change, neither is that way women go about things. It's equally difficult, just in totally opposite ways. As a result I don't message anyone any more,which is a pity as it's what Fab should be about, with good people making connections. Sadly the negative side of Fab is slowly killing that, with some really great guys I've met in clubs having left to do more positive things with their time, leaving the ladies to those who aren't really swingers, but just want to get their end away.

I'd call on all guys to make sure they read and respond only to profiles where they genuinely believe they fit the bill, with women only receiving more quality in their inboxes, but it'll never happen - nor will many women do more than read, delete and feel frustration about their messages. I've always thought women should block men, then search for themselves, but over the ten years I've been here that's an incredibly rare thing.

Shame. This could be amazing couldn't it.

Some valid points to be fair. Although we (I speak for us, not every couple) will respond to anyone who has messaged assuming they’re read the profile. We get between 20-30 messages a day, we have lives outside of this and most messages have less than three words! When we met people on Fab, we always suggested meeting half way so effort was shared. If we had a hotel we would pay half etc. We never expected any perspective guy or couple to travel further or pay more than we do.

In closing, a quick read of a profile and a personal message doesn’t take much time and goes a long way. When we message a guy or couple, we read the profile and message based on compatibility. And guess what?…we get ignored too. We move on 😊

I make you 100% correct. I joined Fab as part of a couple for several years and recognise everything you say. Was never difficult to gain interest, although it wasn't all compatible as we'd all expect.

Since rejoining as a single the dynamic has been completely different, with clubs being extremely successful for me and some pretty amazing friends made. The opposite is true with Fab sadly, though not surprisingly.

Though I always tried to ensure respectful quality of messages sent (when I used to send them), ticking all their boxes - and only ever messaging those people where potential compatibility was in line with every element of what they looked for - response rate was zero over four plus years.

I'd never recommend using Fab to get meets directly to any new single guy as a result - in fact I'd warn against bothering completely. I don't think Fab would be a loss to anyone (barring those who make money from it) if single guys were removed completely. It says everything when someone who tries to set their standards high is very successful in a club, but invisible online.

All of that being said it appears that the good guys become fewer and fewer on here, while the badly behaved ones become ever more numerous. A sad state of affairs, but I suspect it'll only get worse. Good guys know their value and don't want to be lumped in with the rest, nor will they continue to bang their heads on a wall forever, whereas the 'chancers' will come and go constantly. I suspect as a result couples and single women will continue to be bombarded with more and more approaches of a poor nature - something they don't deserve to have happen.

Personally I've nothing to lose - or gain - in saying this as I no longer message anyone, so no axe to grind. I'd just lose to see more class displayed by single guys and more effort from women, but neither are likely for the most part.

I always used to when aI did message. If it was someone I'd have liked to get to know I'd read their profile at least twice and wouldn't message (a pointless exercise to be honest) if as much as one thing about me didn't match what they said they were looking for. I'd always try to find some common ground to reference and make an effort with photos etc. Still zero response ever mind you. I'm genuinely surprised any men bother messaging any more. That being said it appears the ones that do do so poorly a lot of the time.

Problem you have is that high value men won't continue to waste their time when they're constantly ignored, leaving women with the dross, by and large.

It's a never-ending circle that'll never change, unless people's attitudes and approaches change.....which they never will sadly. The best guys will find better things to do.

Definitely fair to say different things work for different people. I suspect a few men do very well, some moderately so, while some are fantasists. It seems the majority di not, but we all know why that is in many cases. When I first joined Fab I was reasonably successful to start with, though that's petered out over time. It's a mystery, but good luck to you if it works for you. I'm lucky that ine of the absolute best - and classiest - clubs in the country is on my doorstep. Also by chance it's one of the few where people actually take the trouble to get to know new visitors, without prejudice...at least most of the time. Having visited a good amount of clubs you're not missing much in a lot of cases.

We have had five cut and paste messages this morning, all either asking questions that are on the profile, or referencing things we explicitly say no to (meet now etc.) They are very obvious and very generic.

They must do it for a reason. If they send it out 1000 times and get 1 positive response i’m guessing they regard it as a success.

Well I’m so pleased I’m not the only guy who found ‘some’ clubs to be far removed from the ideal they are constantly sold as in here. Certainly speaking as a solo guy, who appreciates fully, the welcome of “Single guy? Thanks for your money, it’s through there…..”……….

Actually we keep the in's and out's of what we want fairly vague (although our intrests section give a few hits). We don't like to give an indepth description for the following reasons:

We just like to give the flavour of our vibe and seek the same sort of characters. Our best times are always the result of great chemistry rather than the act. And the people we find the best chemistry with tend to be a very diverse range. Our sexual tastes are varied so if the chemistry is right we can usually find common ground to share a good sexual experience for all. Plus what we may do in the context of a space/people/situation we may not do with another. So it's better for us to find our people first and then work out how we're going to play together because it can be different everytime. And since the people we get on with are so diverse there's no point in saying we want people who are this or people who are that. We know when we find what we're looking for.

There's a problem when you tell people what you want and what you don't. Some people out there are disingenuous and will say anything to get into your knickers. If you give them the blue prints of what to say they'll just modify what they say to tell you what you want to hear (even if it's contrary to what they actually like). If you don't give them the blue prints your far more likely to get an honest impression of them.

And lastly we just don't want the bio to be so lengthy to read through. Look at the pictures, see our stats and intrests, get a brief flavour for us and read what others have to say about us. If you like all that then see where it goes (or not).

its pretty simple .. dont want to read my profile then i would not want to meet you anyway if you can't read a profile then your attention span in bed will be crap too ..

fed up with guys saying oh im not jumping thru hoops to meet you my answer is good because i dont want to meet you as im only looking for guys who are on the same page and the thing is plenty are even if im not attracted to them...

the idea of a profile is to say who you are and what you are looking for its not demands if you see it as demands then thats you and your problem its not demands it finding the right people and those that it puts off proves your profile is working as you would not want to meet them anyway...

if they were bothered to read the profile that is ...

men think wet hole women think am i attracted to him is he on the same page ... as i said there are some that do understand but there's way way more who dont ... hey fancy a fuck... me..yes fuck off

"In my experience even if guys read the profile they ignore what is in it and send a message sometimes entirely opposite of what the profile says. Go figure, it’s fab so that explains it

We often get messages along the lines of "I've read your profile and I'm not what your looking for but....""

yep easy instant block for me

I have to say that the last 2 posts summarize my thoughts on profiles. People either use them to find hooks to start a convo, or just ignore them and think that a random comment will work instead. Either way is unlikely to work unless you are prepared to put some effort in and connect with people. Online is so much harder than real life because you have no non-verbal comms to back you up. So, if you are lazy, you are going nowhere

Only 2% actually read the profiles. When I log in, the first thing I do is delete all friend requests and winks, then I read my messages. I don’t bother responding if they’re not for me (no photo at all and ‘hi’), just block and delete, haven’t got the time or the energy to respond to every single message. What makes me laugh is the demand in their profile that you be a decent person and respond with a simple ‘no thanks’. Mate, if I responded no thanks to every message, I not only wouldn’t have time for anything else but if they’re in any way different, they then start questioning if it’s because of their colour and telling you you’re racist and/or shallow 🤣

We get it all the time, yeah our write ups maybe a 1 min read, but it gives so many clues as to what we want and who we are, anyone that can't be bothered to do that first we ain't interested in either. We lose nothing in the end

We would say that about 2/3rda of both men and couples clearly don’t read our profile.

It is bizzare to be honest. Why would you not want to understand as much about people as possible before making contact and considering meeting them?

Wish to have sex with people when you cannot be bothered to spend five minutes understanding the couple.

Not to mention the number who seem to read the profile and ask for something you have clearly said you are not looking for

That is my favourite, and not only applocable to ladiesmwho get bombarded with male requests. Us straight guys get some very aggressive messages from men too

I'm getting quite a few messages about how hot my tits and arse are.

My publicly available pictures are a wonky parsnip (featuring my hand) and my hair (featuring my forehead).

It's just "message every woman within fifty miles", honestly

That has made me smile. Your pics are hilarious, no wonder that you are acting like a magnet on here!

Every. Single. Time.

And most of the time we decide not to write to ppl based on what they have written there.

And honestly, we really appreciate being able to filter couples that we think we would not get along with so early.
