Mention something of interest in their profile and base it around that asking them something to encourage a reply.

I'm sorry but even if your first message was amazingly interesting, the first thing I'd do is click you profile, see your status and block.

Words like "deem worthy" I doubt are going to attract much more than a block.

We don't meet anyone that's a) needy (see your status) or b) thinks they are in anyway doing us a favour. (See profile)

And if your going to rant on a status at least try and make it readable.

All that said, I encourage everyone to be themselves. If this really is you, fair play, if you get meets(which you do seem to) then they will be exactly what your after and I wouldn't change a thing.

agree, could do some serious work on profile as comes across very in-your-face. And the status update, lose that ASAP, badly written semi-rant, quick look and most people would click the back button. good luck

Hi Wez.

I think that the first thing you should do is have a search of the forums for other threads about the same subject. Then I would take a good long look at your profile, it's a bit crap. Check all of your spellings in everything you write and try to be positive, negativity is never attractive.

Also, looking at your face pic, you "look" very young. If I was to see you without knowing your age, I'd guess you were 16. You can't do much about that, but It wont help your cause.

To add to my husbands comments...

Personally I would start again from scratch with the profile and remove the status.

I struggled to read and understand any of it.

However good the message, you need a great profile to entice people to meet you.

Out of interest, are the verifications the result of contacts on here or from parties / clubs?

It may be that you come across a nicer chap in person than is represented in your profile text.

Try to replicate this social side of you on here, if you have had success meeting directly rather than online.

Don't take this the wrong way please.

Your spelling and grammar in your status is pretty poor, so I imagine you send the same in messages. You could try that? I have a lot of discomfort reading txtspk and incoherent garble, and I know for a fact many couples and singles do. It's your first impressions that count.

If the couple or woman you are writing to writes well, then you should too. Similarly if they write the same txtspk style then you might be Ok.

I read everyone's profiles too, and you need to work out if you are agar they are looking for, and if you've done what they asked in messages. As a guy, I rarely have more than 2 messages unread when I log in, so it's easy to respond while I'm online. For couples and girls, they can log in and see 100+ messages. So don't think you're the only one not being replied to.

Lastly, given that they usually only have time to read, and not respond, just lay your cards on the table in your first message, and give a face pic if you're ok with that. Tel them what you are into, when you're available, what you like, and be specific about why you are potentially suitable for them, based on having read their profile.

Above all, lower your expectations for a reply, and make yourself sound like someone they would like to reply to by what you have on your profile. They will click on your profile before reading your message to give them an idea of what you will probably write.

Apologies for the spelling mistakes, I'm typing this on my phone, especially since I criticised your writing.

Hope that is helpful.

Have your message reflect something about you - your character. But focus on who you're contacting, as they're not wanting to be just any other shag.

Expect most messages not to get a reply. I can guarantee that your status update will lose you replies left, right and centre. And get you lots of blocks.

Many look at the sender's profile, before they read a message. So get that in order.

Just now your profile seems to be for a party organizer, and that's less of a single male profile that some will want. Get it to reveal more about you, that others may find attractive. There's no guarantee.

And keep your messages light, interesting and pertinent to the recipients.

As you may have gathered my original post was tongue in cheek.

From experience there is no guaranteed method in massaging. All I can suggest is

Be polite

Relate it to the profile and couple

More importantly

I never expect a reply, that way, you are never really disappointed!

I hope you enjoy your time on Fab and I wish you luck!

People "read" profiles, but do they really care?...

It's a crap shoot....

I think the only way is to get out there in the real world first, discover what it is about the "scene" you like, who attracts you, then aim solely for those folks...

As you profile is only two lines and states that it is under construction , you will attract little interest . Members are not mind readers and will be unable to imagine all your key selling points .

Anyone reading your status will ignore you . Forum rules state that there is no need to reply to messages and in addition there are a large number of spelling mistakes in the status .

Complete your profile and your luck might improve .

Looking at your status you have two ways to go.

1) learn to write/speak English

2) write to someone who understands fluent bollocks.....because that is what your status seems to be written in!

Agree with a lot of the views said already.

Part of your problem is you have to stand out against the 100's of other guys!

Your Status Line could do with considerable clearing up; it is riddled with spelling errors, the odd text speak word, but overall, it matches your Profile - ill thought out and apart from the ranting, suggests lack of effort.

That puts people off! Hence lack of messages!

The status message is now at least shorter but still makes no sense.

Claiming you're "ruff and dominant" probably doesn't go down well as I believe ladies are likely to focus on the "ruff" bit, but leave it be if that's how you want to come across. It's your profile after all.

What's a wan with a big ass?

You say you want older older women (up to 30 years old!) who have to be confident and dirty minded and want to be dominated. I can't see many women wanting to be dominated by a man that looks as young as you do.

I'd just concentrate on people your age or younger and tidy up all the spelling and grammar mistakes on your profile.

From reading the earlier threads I think you've probably made some changes already. The one thing that doesn't read well, to me anyway, is the ruff dominant stuff. Sounds like you would like to experience that kind of thing but being 'ruff' doesn't make me want to meet u. You are, compared to a lot of the site, quite young and look even younger in your pics. Why are u here and not picking up girls like most guys your age? Are u looking for new experiences? Looking for something different? Looking for an older women to teach you? Do u have a dark side and if so what gets you off?

I would rather see a profile that shows what a younger guy is really looking for, not just a 'i like it rough so u will too' profile.

If theres nothing deeper below the surface, the older women, with lots of experience, will not give u a second look.

Good luck.
