"She doesn't want to chat to you. " 
Just because you have her on ypur hotlist doesn't mean to say she has you on hers. You're obviously not what she's looking for | |||

No doubt she looked at your profile and decided she didn't want to get to know you. I get messages all the time, yes It says ony profile I love to chat, but that doesn't mean I will chat to everyone who messages. They have to stand out with their profile for me to want to do that, and if I chatted to everyone I wouldn't have a life  | |||

"Hi guys and girls, need some advice as im confused. Someone on my hotlist wants to get to know people with fun and 'banterous' chat with the physical connection following. However, having messaged her a couple of times she has ignored me flat, now I know I don't have a face pic but my profile isn't that bad, so how can someone want chat first before physical but wont even bother giving me a chance to prove myself? Any thoughts people?" I don't understand what is so confusing to you? I think you need to factor in how many messages females get. The sheer number of messages means that this female or indeed any can be picky. If you had 100 messages a day, most of which having the sense to attach a face photo, would you bother with those who don't? You wouldn't. For this very reason, it is also unfair to crticise people for not replying if not interested. Again assuming 100 messages a day it is not for the profile user to message every single one back regardless of interest | |||

So you'd talk to 50 different people to give them a chance even if the profile of many don't appeal to you??! | |||

"... so a face pic with every 'firsttime' message would be the way to go?" Yes. When a woman has 50+ messages from men in her inbox, the ones without face-pics are the easiest to ignore. You also need to think about whether insisting on a reply is really doing you any favours. That, and the tone of your first post, sounds like you have an unrealistic sense of 'entitlement'. Read the FAQs - it's NOT rude not to reply. | |||

"OP this is mean to be a fun site. Anyone who lectures us before you even so much as wink at us is not sexy. "Also, if you aren't interested in me after ive messaged you then PLEASE have the decency to let me know, nothing worse than hanging on and wondering whether the person is going to reply, its simple courtesy and doesn't cost anything.

"I really don't know what is confusing or why there seems to be so much angst over not replying. Delete all your sent mail as soon as its sent so you don't know what the recipient has done with it and get on with your life. You'll either get a reply at some point or you won't. This is supposed to be light hearted fun, the moment you try to over think and over analise things is the moment it ceases to be fun. Go with the flow, expect nothing and live you life." good advice, thankyou for that. | |||

"Another point I would make, is that you could have the best profile , the best photos and the best veri's but you still might not appeal to people. One thing I notice, and it is not a criticism but purely an observation, is that you are bi curious. Some women just don't dig that. There could be several other reasons she might not 'dig' you and none of them you could change" oh, I didn't know that was what was showing, i'll amend that, thankyou for pointing that out. | |||

"No offence op but it's fairly obvious that she's just not interested. Her status/profile saying she wants to chat means to people she's interested in, if you've tried and she's ignored means it's time to move on. Having someone on YOUR hotlist means you like them, they've no idea you've added them though and it certainly doesn't mean they'll be interested. Good luck on here though." very true, and thankyou. | |||

"Sometimes I think some single men need to understand that Fab is not a charity. We all join Fab for our own enjoyment. We chat to people because we want to, we meet people because we want to. We don't do these things because we are nice and therefore want to give people a chance. I too expect to chat before considering a meet. But if something doesn't spark me, I don't feel it's fair to expect me to give someone a chance - that would not be enjoyable for me. Am I selfish? No I don't think so. The people I care about, would not describe me in that way. But I don't owe anything to someone I don't know just because they want to chat to me. And I don't expect men to give me a chance, just because I want a chance." well im still learning about all this so I need to change my mindset, I understand what youre saying though, thanks for the input. | |||

But if something doesn't spark me, I don't feel it's fair to expect me to give someone a chance - that would not be enjoyable for me. Am I selfish? No I don't think so. The people I care about, would not describe me in that way. But I don't owe anything to someone I don't know just because they want to chat to me. And I don't expect men to give me a chance, just because I want a chance. well im still learning about all this so I need to change my mindset, I understand what youre saying though, thanks for the input. I'd be interested to know what your expectations were when you joined. How did you imagine things worked? I'm asking out of curiosity not to find a way of shooting you down in flames. well I didn't realise there were so many people on here and what the male/female ratio was, I do now understand that women outnumber men hugely, I thought it would be a case of browse and select who you like and sparks your interest, contact them and take it from there, oh how wrong I was, lol." you're not alone in thinking that. | |||

"Sometimes I think some single men need to understand that Fab is not a charity. We all join Fab for our own enjoyment. We chat to people because we want to, we meet people because we want to. We don't do these things because we are nice and therefore want to give people a chance. I too expect to chat before considering a meet.

"It doesn't mean she wants to chat to everyone on the site I'm afraid ... She prob gets lots of response and chooses who she wants to chat to ... No harm in that is there ? "at first I thought there was but on reflection and with gentle nudging from people here ive realised my expectations were too high, live and learn as they say.  | |||

"I do think you should improve your profile though. Definitely more pictures. And say what you have to offer in addition to good manners. I would also be put off by a 40 year man who can't accommodate but has 'personal circumstances' - we prefer to stay away from complications. And are you seriously worried about attracting a woman with manky teeth and bad breath?" good point, a bit of clarification is definitely needed there, and yes I am worried about that kind of person, its a pet hate of mine, we all have them and that is one of mine im afraid, I cant change that. it may seem a bit odd to some but its no different to a woman only wanting guys who aren't bald, for example. | |||

"Hi guys and girls, need some advice as im confused. Someone on my hotlist wants to get to know people with fun and 'banterous' chat with the physical connection following. However, having messaged her a couple of times she has ignored me flat, now I know I don't have a face pic but my profile isn't that bad, so how can someone want chat first before physical but wont even bother giving me a chance to prove myself? Any thoughts people?" he's shot his load lol | |||

"She doesn't want to chat to you.
Just because you have her on ypur hotlist doesn't mean to say she has you on hers. You're obviously not what she's looking for guess so, I know im not going to be everyones cup of tea, but when this person wants chat first (as do I) then that's what I find confusing."She probably is chatting first. To a shed load of guys she likes the look of. Neither your profile or your messages caught her eye so take her off your hotlist and move on. | |||
