"I hear you! How would you suggest I make myself stand out? I understand women on here are inundated with a million messages a day! Is it down to profile pic? As an average guy I find it hard to stand out amongst a sea of six packs and shaved chests lol... Or more to do with the text? I think mine is OK but obviously if any seasoned vets out there think otherwise I would be more than happy to take that on board! Thanks for the reply! " Not all women want six packs, nor do we want pics of a cock from different angles. We want to be teased, wonder what's under the clothes and so on. And we haven't got time to message new guys who say 'message me' in their profile | |||

"Did a mate tell you to sign up and you'd get a shag? The women on Fab are here for their own reasons, not just to shag any guy who shows up " No I'm a single parent with little time to form a conventional relationship... But also after something more than a 'shag' lol | |||

No one liners, and I also try to make them personal. ie no copied messages etc, but to no avail. Any tips or pointers would be gladly accepted. Thanks, Jay. " A week really is no time tbh. I think guys on here roughly fall into one of two approaches. The first focus on a fast turn around with a lot of emphasis on messaging and initiating conversations. They usually send a relatively high number of messages and play the numbers game hoping if they send enough messages they will eventually get a bite. They often have relatively poor profiles and pictures and send copy and paste messages. I think these guys use the site often when they are horny and need a meet now so struggle with patience. The second type tend to play a longer game, they focus on their profile being as appealing as possible with a good selection of photographs, they stay active around the site using more of the features of it to make their profile stand out and get noticed. They only send the occasional considered first message and rely more on women contacting them first. I think these guys use the site more like a social network, they focus less on getting the meets as they just happen as a consequence of there other activity. That's just my take on it and obviously guys can fall somewhere been the two. I recommend the second approach, it's a lot less demoralising than spamming out messages that nobody reads and is a lot more fun too. | |||

I'd like to think I am in the second category and I am definitely looking for quality over quantity and I would rather have a connection with somebody than jump into with anybody. I will take all you said on board! | |||

"Gold star for sticking with the thread, listening to people's advise and acting on it. I suggest including a few more photos in your profile. Have a nosey at other guys profile pics that use the forums regularly to get some ideas. Maybe add a bit about your experience on the past....so you don't look like a complete newbie. What you are into or good at etc. Be patient and keep sending personal and friendly messages and you will soon get started in the wonderful world of FAB ! " Thanks for your kind words and advice, only an idiot would decline advice from people who have been in the same position before. I definitely do some more pics, I'm just don't posses much of a photographer's eye! And, I will change my bio up a bit... I just find it difficult writing about myself too much! I appreciate the time you took to reply | |||

"Have you got many photos on your profile ? " Not very many... I don't really see myself as much of a photographer but will have to try harder! | |||

" Ok Start with your Pic's thats taken from an angle that someone might normally see you from. How about a face pic and one or two of you fully clothed. Sex starts with your clothes on normally. Anyone wanting to meet someone will want to know what you look like. You profile is also only about what you want, its not about what your offering any prospective liaison(s). There must a ton of threads in the archive on this very subject. Take some time and do some research. Above all be patient and don't expect much from this site -you wont be disappointed. As I said very few meets in 5+yrs from here. Most women get many hundreds of messages a day, so guess how many they are going to reply to... the odds are against you. Unless you standout in both your initial message and the next thing they look at; your profile. Your message will be deleted, along with the other hundreds. Ask yourself: "why would they want to meet Jay"? Good luck & happy hunting. | |||
