"Odd title I know but bear with me. I think it's pretty obvious that on fab there are a relatively small number of women being chased by a very large number of guys. A woman posted yesterday that she'd had 50 messages in 2 minutes. She had no pictures, a one line profile and was in her 40s. So the women have plenty of choice and surely, even those my age, are mainly just going to go for the hot, (young?) guys. Now I set my offering as a professional, educated guy with a personality who can chat, behave respectfully, has a lovely house in which to entertain (not some crap bed in a dingy flat). Jez, I might even make you something to eat afterwards haha. I send out well written messages not just 'let's meet' or 'wanna fuck' attached to a cock photo. The question is do women care? Or more precisely, do they pick the hot guys and then try and find one who meets a bare minimum standard of personality? Yes I'm fit, athletic, well dressed and clean. But the lack of fab for my pictures suggests no real enthusiasm amongst the female population here. Plus I'm more mature than many. Am I really just fooling myself that I can compete? Thanks if you got to the end haha" Unfortunately for you there aren't enough single women to go round! | |||

"Very true. I wouldn't be able to message you anyway as you've excluded my age range. I suppose I'm trying to decide whether a guy like me has any realistic chance here. " I think there's a realistic chance for anyone and everyone on here, but some will have to put more effort in than others whether it be age, looks, location or whatever. | |||

There's a someone for everyone. But as a man, you generally either have to have patience or no standards. Both of which are in short supply generally. Just take your time OP. | |||

"I appreciate all your comments. As you'll see from my profile I've had one meet so I'm not incapable of getting anywhere, it's just the time and effort v other means. I think my strength is that I'm literate. My weakness is my age, as Rubywoo demonstrates (no disrespect intended)..." Being older doesn't necessarily exclude you from any action on the site, but it is harder. Having said that I've been lucky enough to attract interest from younger women and couples who tend to prefer older experienced guys, so don't give up hope. | |||

""From your profile I see you've had 4 meets in 9 months. That's a damn site better than alot of guys on here. Maybe you need to have a look at your expectations of the site" That's slightly misleading. Two of the verifications are from the same girl. Two the girls I already knew socially from elsewhere (one I was astonished to see on here lol). So really only one meet. But only really used the site for a month anyway." So you've been active for a month and you've got a meet. That's a better percentage than me! | |||

I don't think I should be used as a demonstration (no disrespect taken) - I'm younger than a lot of women on the site so have different age expectations than I would if I was 41 instead of 31. | |||

""So you've been active for a month and you've got a meet. That's a better percentage than me!" I'm sure you could get whatever you want whenever you want. " Yeah they how everyone sees it, but as someone else said..once you've filtered through the people you don't want to meet the number is quite small and theres no guarantee that they want to meet me!! Being a woman on here doesn't mean everyone will want you! | |||

"There are thousands of men on here, but once you start wading through the unverified, weird profiles, and filter out the ones you aren't attracted to, the ones who aren't compatible, you're Down down to a manageable number! Then once you start chatting, you filter out the ones who say something strange or are arrogant and annoy you...and actually, the number of men you would want to meet is quite small! This is my experience anyway, and even then sometimes they don't turn up! Everyone is looking for different things. A lot of people are put off by people who are a lot younger as they may worry they are immature, that they are similar age to their children, or even that the younger person would make them feel self conscious about their body in some cases. Be yourself, and be well mannered, build up a reputation and you will get meets. You come across as a genuine person which stands out on here " Absolutely agree with all the above! | |||

"I've looked at your pictures, there's nothing g to fab there. Most women tend to fab the way the picture is taken and how it accentuates the person being photographed. Have a look at Thing Two, yes he has an amazing bod but the quality of his pictures are what makes them looking at as well. There are plenty of blokes on here with the same body but crappy pictures and not so great bodies with fabulous pictures." Yes his pictures are good but even they are not that well fabbed. I bet you as well that most of his fabs are from guys. I guess women just don't fab as much as guys... | |||

"In the terms you use, no women don't often care. Why would they? The process you outline is fairly accurate, physical characteristics, body definition, height and penis size are the primary deciding characteristics. Personality is a factor but for most it's entirely secondary unless it fails to pass a bare minimum standard. That's not to say it doesn't end up being the determining factor between a lot of potential meets. Since women will have multiple offers from guys who hit their physical requirements, personality will determine their order in the queue. But having a great personality won't get you on the guest list in the first place. But, from the looks of it you have a very promising meet coming up. If you can succeed there you aren't going to struggle in general. So play on playa :D " Promising meet? Sorry out of interest is this the M or L in the couple posting. | |||

Thanks if you got to the end haha" i care about who they are as a person, i dont do one offs, its just not me..to know that id have to meet you, to do that you have to be out and about meeting people. its as simple as that xx (try and generalise that), you are very far away for a fwb, unless we met somewhere, like a club and clicked straight away. starting from messages doesn't seem to end up with anything satisfactory, you really need to be known as a person, to find what you are looking for x | |||

From one of the posts saying see you saturday i presumed it was a meet you were waiting on, and she's pretty hot so thats what i meant by a promising meet. If thats incorrect i must have misunderstood. Its M posting, on the forums it almost always is. L doesnt really have the time for this stuff, she's constantly on the go with something. Even in PMs its usually me for as long as it remains on Fab, our usual method is for me to hunt, her to vet and decide whether to ofer direct messaging (Kik/skype etc) once its passed a stage where they are worth serious consideration. | |||

" Ahh that makes sense, and feel free to let her know, though sadly i dont think we would be suitable for her since she's straight. As for the club, have fun, we were there this friday and its much improved from my previous time as a semi-regular there. Bar looks a lot nicer, and although ive no idea HOW she achieved it Sue appears to have been correct that she's made it less cliquey. First time ive ever been in a club and felt very much a part of the social side. Id rate it right up there with Quest now, and L who i expected might not like it very much, had a great night | |||

You'll hear it over and over but patience is the key. Get off to some social events or even change your postcode so your profile is on _iew to a wider range of people | |||
