"It is quite frustrating that a couple or anybody can look at my profile... I can Fab their pics.... then can’t contact them because they have blocked single guys.... a bit one sided?" How so? You can also look at their profile. Why would you want to waste time messaging people who aren't interested in you anyway? | |||

"By blocking anybody over 44 you lose out on having photos taken free to a professional standard by me. .... and I’m not after a shag..." If people aren't interested, then they aren't losing out. I'd suggest you let it go and focus on those who are interested in people around your age. | |||

"By blocking anybody over 44 you lose out on having photos taken free to a professional standard by me. .... and I’m not after a shag..." You're not missing out if you don't want it. What a bizarre statement! I don't want you to take my photo (no offence meant, I just don't) so therefore I'm not losing out! This entire post screams white male privilege. The fact is if someone isn't interested in talking to someone else then they don't have to. Just like you don't have to talk to people you don't want to interact with. | |||

"I get a bit irked when someones profile says no single guys or no white guys and then they mKe multiple trips to view me. There is obvious interest as they make multiple trips. Totally their choice of course but seems a bit odd they would bother looking up single guys on searches if they dont want to interact." People look at profiles for all sorts of reasons It doesn't mean they want your penis | |||

For my 2 cents worth: There are several problems - and unfortunately, because we are using a fantastic *FREE* platform, they have to make some money and have some "premium" features - unfortunately, seeing previous messages and other similarly helpful things as to whether you have messaged before or the type of "supporter" you need to be to message someone...

How about a segregated in-box.....so, for each user type (single guy, couple, single girl, etc) there is a tab on the mailbox - but a removal of the feature that stops people being allowed to send messages to someone.... A premium feature could be a filtered mailbox - so, you see in your main inbox just the ones that fit your filters - e.g. male, couple between 25-50 and based within 40miles.... and the rest in a different tab....

It hasn’t opened up a hornets’ nest at all, it’s just got some people you blamed giving you honest, assertive replies. Maybe you aren’t great with people who disagree with you?
I don’t see any posturing either; it’s people telling you truthfully and without malice why it’s like it is.
Self righteousness? No, it’s really people being able to choose. Is that ok to do that, or should you be the judge of what other people are able to do? | |||

In my opinion you can alter your settings to choose who contacts you, but if someone states no single guys then why try and contact them. They have expressed who and what they are looking for and that is their choice and should be respected... | |||

It is simply about ego, people getting pissy because they think they have an automatic right to message someone that isn't interested in them. Filters are there for that reason. | |||

"By blocking anybody over 44 you lose out on having photos taken free to a professional standard by me. .... and I’m not after a shag..." Surely if they want professional standard photos taking they will contact a photographer, maybe someone they already know and trust rather than a stranger off a Swinger's website? Or just search for a local photographer? Or they could start a thread on here asking for photographers to which you could respond without wasting your time or theirs. | |||

"It is quite frustrating that a couple or anybody can look at my profile... I can Fab their pics.... then can’t contact them because they have blocked single guys.... a bit one sided?" No, it's not one sided at all. It comes down to each person's choice. Anyone may choose to view any profile, but with whom they wish to start any dialogue is their choice too! For many Females and Couples, they could repeat the phrase, NO SINGLE MALES 1000 times in their profile, yet the Muppet Single Males will ignore that request and message anyway! EG. A lady I know naively put up that very simple note on her profile when she joined a few years ago. Despite that request, she still had over 400 messages from Single Males. Then when she read through a lot, most lacked any finesse. Others were rude and obnoxious. When she didn't reply, the "troll elements" emerged and she was subjected to more hassle! She changed her filters to stop such insulting behaviour, problem solved. OP. Don't take it personally as a slight against you. Just move on. | |||

Just because you can’t contact them isn’t it nice that you can still get to see their sexy pics ? And obv you must enjoy them if you fab them too Rem_mber they might block single guys so they can carefully find them theirselves rather than trawling through messages and if you fabbed them they might notice and message you | |||

"Tried an experiment to open the profile up to men. So far it’s been a mistake. Not a single one has tried to seduce. Just ‘ can we have sex after lockdown’ If that’s your messages guys no wonder so many get deleted. " A symptom of the lockdown, isolation and barely any form of release has turned a lot of men into dribbling wrecks who are probably typing one handed while looking at your photo. To be fair this is probably the norm anyway but its heightened by the current situation. Maybe things will get better soon? *In b4 not all men* you know what I mean! | |||

Just ‘ can we have sex after lockdown’ If that’s your messages guys no wonder so many get deleted. " Most messages from couples are just as bad. It even says on my profile that I'm not interested in playing with couples, they still message. | |||

They probably block single guys to stop potentially hundreds of "wanna fuck" dross messages from desperate single men every day but may remove the block temporarily to message one that takes their fancy.

"I’d never dream of having a photoshoot with anyone who didn’t have a professional website and premises. Last thing you need is someone tugging themselves off while it’s happening. And then doing god knows what with your pictures after. Do you really want a stranger having intimate pictures including your face and knowing your name etc. No thanks. I’d rather use someone who has their professional reputation to risk.

"I get a bit irked when someones profile says no single guys or no white guys and then they mKe multiple trips to view me. There is obvious interest as they make multiple trips. Totally their choice of course but seems a bit odd they would bother looking up single guys on searches if they dont want to interact." What they don't want is to be open to thousands of messages (mostly idiotic?) from people who don't interest them. Howrver, if they choose, they can contact someone who might and as they made the first move you can then reply. Its not rocket science to understand how it works or why they choose to do so... | |||

"I imagine it’s because they don’t want to hear from single guys. They are dreadful on here so don’t blame them. with the dozens of times i've had my time wasted by couples and single females over the years then they too can be just as bad only it often seems different rules and acceptable for them to do so yet all the time on the forums it seems to be just single guys that get stick Because single women don't start threads complaining that men block them. Your point is valid, there will be bad people in all groups but if someone starts a thread about it then that's the focus. no problem with the thread and completely agree that if others dont want to be contacted by single guys then that is their choice and should be repected.i simply thought that it was a cheap shot by somebody on here to just tarnish single guys with the same brush thats all I agree, it was a cheap shot, there are plenty of lovely guys on fab.

".... As an experiment, I asked MrD if we could unblock single guys for 24hrs to see what happens. Got ridiculous 'hey babe wanna fuck' messages and the rest. We changed our settings back the next day. .... Not all were. Mixed bag. Some guys were very polite and respectful. All this flaming in this thread.....why is it always the case here ? These forums seem to get so toxic half the time when it comes to talking about single guys "whinging" -- it is pretty dreadful..... For my 2 cents worth: There are several problems - and unfortunately, because we are using a fantastic *FREE* platform, they have to make some money and have some "premium" features - unfortunately, seeing previous messages and other similarly helpful things as to whether you have messaged before or the type of "supporter" you need to be to message someone... Maybe what we actually need is a feature that is fairly cheap to add and maybe if enough of us suggest the same feature it will be added. How about a segregated in-box.....so, for each user type (single guy, couple, single girl, etc) there is a tab on the mailbox - but a removal of the feature that stops people being allowed to send messages to someone.... A premium feature could be a filtered mailbox - so, you see in your main inbox just the ones that fit your filters - e.g. male, couple between 25-50 and based within 40miles.... and the rest in a different tab.... Nothing will ever be perfect, but at least people wont be frustrated by not being able to message someone..... " Still dont see why anyone would want a seperate box for junk mail....they simply don't want the junk mail in first place. Like with physical junk mail you dont need....goes in a seperate box....recycling. Or if I have the time....return to sender and post it back! | |||
