Do women message men?

By (user no longer on site) OP   
over a year ago

I'm sure there are dozens of men for every woman here and it seems women get swamped with messages, so women of course can be as picky as they wish. Fair enough market forces and all that. So with you women just doing bulk delete without reading messages, you have no need to send any messages yourself. The question is do you?

I suppose I'm wondering if there's actually any point to site, because I'll be honest I find it rather boring, and right now I could be watching 'Mock the Week' rather than typing this.

I don't. We get knock backs too some are so rude it's beyond belief so I no longer send initial messages.

I only reply to a polite message.

I do send message if I happen to read a status that some guy has put on his profile that I feel the need to respond to but this is on the local updates.

I also message if i have come across a particularly sexy photo of a guy.

Very rarely in our experience, more likely to get a wink if your lucky. We think it's a real shame more don't, but then they don't have to by and large & they have to deal with the single guys & we don't. Spoke to one stunning forumite on this very subject & she said she never sends first messages due to possible rejection & how that would affect her.

I think she may have been slightly taken aback when I replied that no its not much fun getting them tbh..

Whilst many ladies will not send them for this reason probably the same ladies will think nothing of block erasing their unread message files..

Just one of the things you get used to or you just fuck off and leave. Don't get me wrong I'm not complaining just stating what I think are facts. We got around this mostly by living on the forums & not messaging any non forumites & are happy with where we are after nearly five months on Fab

yes they do OP in my experience couples to by the way,but OP and all the guys in here for that matter who say its very rare its not that rare fellas.

if you want to be noticed and messaged your going to have to express yourselves in the forums fellas .

now not in sycophantic way but with your true voice .

yes if you do that some are going to disagree with you and yes you will at times be asked to explain yourself god I know because I'm often answering follow up questions to my more controversial forum posts. but trust me guys if you do this and can keep your cool when someone with a axe to grind comes at you which they will if you take this route ,

then slowly over time people will see you for the person you truly are and at that point those who find you interests more often than not funny more often than not will start to message you .

here's the absolute truth fellas I rarely trawl profiles so due to that fact I don't send fishing messages . I will message due to a status update if I have anything to say on that update and I will message due to a forum post and you know something fellas I do rather well

don't let my lack of veri make you think otherwise I'm not a fan of the system as I find it can cause more trouble than good in a lot of cases.

I've took this approach since day one of joining OP and you know what I get winked at friend invites and messages so to those who say rarely I say this advertise your true voice in the forums yes some shit will come your way for doing that but trust me the fun that comes out of doing that far out numbers the negatives of such a approach to site life and having those all important naught fun filthy adventures .

I get messaged/winked more than I message/wink, although I have to stress the counts of both are very low compared to what I imagine most receive or send, before anyone thinks I'm bragging

I know with the sheers numbers on here they don't need to be, but overall I wish women were more proactive if they want to contact a guy. I enjoy receiving messages and love a pleasant conversation.

I've blocked everyone and message guys myself, wouldn't get meets otherwise and it works very well for me.

Very few male profiles are that good they entice me to message but the ones that are really stand out.

.

I message men, women and couples if something they post in the forum interests me or their photos are particularly interesting. In my experience it's mainly couples I struggle with and that's resulted in me not messaging first any more. I much prefer the dynamic of talking to one and not dealing with different tones from two different people. So in summation, yes, I message first.

I agree there are loads more guys than ladies..

Ladies might be choosy ... You do know Guys have the same choicese to say yes or no as well,

Ladies do message guys first... You have to tick their boxes and if you do you'll get a surprise in your inbox.. likewise they should tick yours

I message guys, mostly those who have browsed my profile and have pique my interest after reading their profile in return. I also block those who I have no interest in meeting for whatever reason, (smokers for example). I read all messages I get, and will respond with at least a 'Thanks for the message' back, unless of course, the original message was rude, inappropriate or unintelligible.

I mostly receive winks from women and I return the compliments with a polite message of appreciation which in the normal world should attract an appreciative response back but sadly NO RESPONSE!

It makes me wonder why the wink in the first place?

It's a shame more women don't message first, I get some but not that many. They are nearly always in response to forum posts or status updates though.

There is a good dating app which only allows women to message first, the catch being that they have a time limit on being able to do so before the guy they matched with is deleted from their matches. From a guys point of view its great as if you get a message you know they at least have some interest in you.

Very rarely.

Experience has shown me that most men on here lie on their Profiles - they write what they think sounds good - not what they really want. So if you respond to their Profile - you just find that they're completely different, or they want very different things.

Been bitten by that one too many times to risk it again, no matter how much I'd like to....

Yes! Some do message but there has to be a good reason for it, and even then, most are kind of weird/uneasy about it.

I get a message maybe once a day or so. When I used to be on here a lot, I used to get "I'm sorry for messaging you, I hope you don't mind. Blah blah blah...". As if I'd mind!

Anyway, yes they do message, but they tend to be very reserved about it.

I'm not a lady so I'll go with that logic .... Not sure an opening message unless it's "you asked ...so let's fu*k now" doesn't imply a done deal..

Each to their own.. if I see a profile that interests me I send a message, I've received messages from ladies so I guess I interested them.. some have led somewhere others haven't... It's one of the reasons I always suggest folk have the best profile they can ...they dogenerate interest.

Not been here long and don't use the site that often but I see its potential in the longerterm.

I would say most local genuine women will reply to a message rather than send.

I may send maybe 2 or 3 messages over a number of weeks to someone I would like to chat too. If there is no response I just knock'em off the hot list not because they don't answer, just so I don't message them again because nobody like a pest !

But there are a few attention seekers here along with a few fakes but it don't take long to work them out and block those ones asap.

Any network is what you want to make it put the effort in your will build trust and a platform that suits you. Be half hearted or superior then you will be 'fucked' but not in the way this site was intended

Like fishing for carp. You set up shop, sit in the cold for a while, sometimes it rains but when you least expect it someone will take the bait.. And then its a struggle from start to finish if your using a 7lb rod lol

I believe in charity though, women could! Send a few messages to remind us not to be creeps, its so easy to pass that line out of frustration. If your regular and and get 200 messages a day its because guys are left in the cold.. Saw one guy he was a total athlete cock the size of a forearm probably on page 3 somewhere saying he had no messages for weeks whats wrong ect.

I think I've received 2 random messages in all the time I've been here, including on previous profiles. Thinking about it neither of those made much sense.

Conversely I send our messages when updates or status' catch my eye but probably get a reply to one in ten. I can't explain how frustrating this is especially when you can see your message has been read. How long would a thanks but no thanks reply take??

Yes, on an average day i might get up to 5 message from women!

yes they do OP in my experience couples to by the way,but OP and all the guys in here for that matter who say its very rare its not that rare fellas.

if you want to be noticed and messaged your going to have to express yourselves in the forums fellas .

now not in sycophantic way but with your true voice .

yes if you do that some are going to disagree with you and yes you will at times be asked to explain yourself god I know because I'm often answering follow up questions to my more controversial forum posts. but trust me guys if you do this and can keep your cool when someone with a axe to grind comes at you which they will if you take this route ,

then slowly over time people will see you for the person you truly are and at that point those who find you interests more often than not funny more often than not will start to message you .

here's the absolute truth fellas I rarely trawl profiles so due to that fact I don't send fishing messages . I will message due to a status update if I have anything to say on that update and I will message due to a forum post and you know something fellas I do rather well

don't let my lack of veri make you think otherwise I'm not a fan of the system as I find it can cause more trouble than good in a lot of cases.

I've took this approach since day one of joining OP and you know what I get winked at friend invites and messages so to those who say rarely I say this advertise your true voice in the forums yes some shit will come your way for doing that but trust me the fun that comes out of doing that far out numbers the negatives of such a approach to site life and having those all important naught fun filthy adventures . "

How are veri's more trouble?

I have in the past mailed men first, it doesn't really work for me though, I have had zero meets as a result of mailing men first, infact I have never had a reply from a single person I made first contact with so I tend to just sort through the guys who mail me and reply to the ones I'm interested in, I figure if they have mailed me first there is at least some interest on their part

Just picked up on this

simple answer is yes women do message men, if we have something they read in our profiles they like

but I will admit Bisexual men like me, don't as many messages - but that's just how it is

I've had the odd message from a lady and always have replied. Some have later turned out to be from males sadly.

In every case I can't see why people would be rude. Treat others as you want to be treated yourself?

When I first went single here a few months ago I had a single lady message me, profile was well thought out though not intriguing and she was initially well mannered, 3/4 messages in it was clear that she, though very pretty, wasn't attracting my attention mentally and a polite no thankyou you resulted in a barrage of quite frankly some of the best abuse I have ever received.

Seems some women don't like rejection either.

Yes, is the simple answer , I go months without getting a single message, then all of a sudden I get so many I cant keep up

Simply dont rely on this site as your main source of "fun" I use it more for socialising and meeting new people, if I get to have abit of fun along the way im not going to be complaining
