"Our profile is very new, but we don't seem to be generating any interest. Inbox is... Lots of people viewing our profile, but that's it really. We don't bite and are a very friendly pair. Are we doing anything wrong? Shag will come along now and tell us patience is key " It's a good profile, listing preferences and pictures other than the missis' tits which seems to be the norm for most couples profiles. IMO, whilst I would wink at you, I wouldn't expect a reply as 'curves in all the right places' isn't specific enough to know if I'm in or out, and the chap has to be fit. Hubs is fit as in he has a physical job so is running around a lot, but doesn't work out so isn't fit like your fella is, which did you mean? So I'd think that we aren't what you're looking for, and so maybe others do too? Good luck Mrs | |||

"Yes we're not an official couple, but rather friends with benefits. We have been singles on here for some time. Perhaps new pictures together would work better? " The guy's pictures are also showing up on reverse image searches. Even if he is actually using his own pictures, it would be smart of him to use different pictures than ones he uses for POF and escort agencies...just an idea. People aren't going to know if they are real or not. -Courtney | |||

"Our profile is the same it's been really quiet... Don't know where we are going wrong. " I'm not sure what people expect, though. If a couple isn't looking for single guys....they aren't going to get tons of mail everyday. 75% of our messages come from single guys. So as you and the OP are not looking for single guys, that's 75% of messages automatically gone. But it should make it easier to proactively message those you want to message. -Courtney | |||

"I personally like more pics of males of couples. Some together would be good. Sounds like starting again might be the best and most fun idea." Yes pictures together would be great and we're working on that. As I have said and as you can see, we're pretty new to this as a couple (fwb). We have our own single profiles both verified too. | |||

"Didn't you post recently that you weren't sure why this chap was with you as you had insecurities? As others have said, try finding folk for yourself - I do this on my couples profile and it works well for us. " Yup that was me and I'm going through the motions now. We are messaging couples. It is a matter of mutual interest I suppose. Xx | |||

I don't know anything about that honestly. - Maebabe" Might be worth checking with him. Being a man who is paid to have sex with other men is considered a very, very high risk activity by the sexual health clinics. If he's not told you about that, I'd be backing away very quickly. If he's not telling potential meets about that, I'd also be questioning his integrity. | |||

I'm not suggesting she shouldn't talk to him, in fact quite the opposite, I'm just thinking aloud as to what else might be revealed! | |||

"Devils advocate but they are only fwb's as opposed to a full couple. If he had used other pics to his escort and Pof profiles than would have been none the wiser." I'm what most people would call 'fwb' with my partners. If one of them was lying to me about also being a sex worker I'd want to know because they're potentially endangering mine and my partners health. 'Fwb' doesn't mean 'don't know anything about each other'. | |||

"We have just talked it over and it's cool. He no longer does it and only took woman out for dinners. To be fair I know a fair amount of people on here that do adult work. And that doesn't make me think any less of them. Yes we are in a fwb relationship and what he does with pof or had done with the escorting isn't really my business, but I've asked him and he was honest. Let's not get to negative now please x" OP, I just want to say first that my points weren't meant to be negative. They were just worth pointing out. Second, it is great that you can explain this stuff to us, but we don't really matter. You asked us why you may not be getting a lot of attention on your profile. One concrete answer, at least, is that if a random person, who doesn't read the forums, did a reverse image search on those picture and saw what we all did, they might question whose pictures they really were and not message you. I suggest new picture on his part. -Courtney | |||

"You still haven't responded to the queries about "his" pics being on other sites, and the POF profile having a whole different location?" With regards to the other location on his pof profile. That's where he lives. Our couple profile location is based from where I live. We live in opposite directions, but we make it work. With Abfabs being our half way point. Why is that an issue for our fab profile? | |||

"Happy to make some comments: Yes definitely too many pictures of the man. He has a great chest, but not all women are attracted to that. I would like to see more of the lady! We have had quite a few bad experiences with couples who don't live together. I would take out that bit and also the bit about your separate profiles. Are you a couple or 2 singles? Like you, we are getting lots of looks but not much else. How can we improve our profile? (Never too old to learn) " I think to many couples profiles don't have ENOUGH photos of the make half... A lot are just of the lady which I personally think is not fair | |||

I verified them on my single profile after meeting them at abfabs and telling them about fabs. They have a few verifications from other verified people after.

" I can't speak for other couples, but "verifications on my other profile" doesn't really do much to reassure us. After all, you could have just stolen pics from their profile and made a new one. Personally I would have completely different pics on your couples profile and your singles profiles. Nothing rings alarm bells quicker than looking at a profile for the first time and thinking "I recognize those pics" | |||

"Hi Mae! To be honest I'm not the suspicious type so I wouldn't really have questioned your partners pics or Google image them, it's not something I never do! Too trusting I guess! However,something I would notice is that according to your veris of each other you only met on November 14! That's less than three weeks and you already have a couples profile? Not wanting to be not overly negative but I wouldn't class you as being a couple unless you've been together for several months at least! To me you're just two singles who've bolted a couples profile together so you can meet couples. I personally only play with couples if I feel they are completely solid as a couple and secure in each other's affection! They don't have to live together etc but they have to know each other really well! Even though I think you are both attractive - this is what would put me off playing with you as a couple! Not meaning to be really critical as you both seem nice to me - just saying how I perceive it! Xx" Agreed in what this posted says.. Perhaps the OP should clarify they are a FB couple on their profile, like the female has clarified on her own singles profile. It will help to not get messages from those who do not wish to play with FB's like ourselves - saves messing about and wasted time further down the line. | |||
