This has probably been done before I’m sure, but what’s everyone’s ideas on the perfect opening message? I get the odd reply but in comparison to the messages I send it’s next to nothing.

Start with "Hello". I'm astonished at how many people bypass that and just go straight to how much they want to have sex with us.

Follow the hello with the name(s) of the recipient(s) as given on the profile.

Those are two very basic, obvious that will set anybody apart from the masses.

Then the golden rule is:

***Have something to say.***

Maybe it's related to something in our profile text, or our gallery, or something on the forums, or something else. Just make it relevant. You have to give somebody a reason to want to talk to you. It's not an automatic right.

The majority of messages we get are from people who clearly have absolutely nothing to say, and appear to want us to lead the conversation. "How are you?" and "What are you up to?" do not amount to a worthwhile conversation. I am not going to do your work for you unless I fancy the absolute pants off you.

The other thing is don't come on too strong. Don't talk about sex, fantasies, meeting, or anything along those lines. Just chat, like you might if you had just been introduced to your mate's sister or friend, maybe at a dinner party. Would you start off with "What's your favourite position?" I certainly hope not. Don't do it here either.

Fab is about the long game with a lot of people. They want to form connections, build trust and build rapport before considering anything further. That's certainly us anyway. Slowly slowly catchy monkey. If you don't treat us with respect and/or go at our pace, then bye bye.

To be honest Op, it’s a great opening message. If it’s then followed up with more about that persons profile and what they find, enticing or exciting I’m sure more would appreciate it, than the usual are you meeting messages

It's not about compliments, it's about connecting. Look at the advice from _partharmony. It's obvious that someone thinks the photos are nice, that's why they're messaging. Look for connections instead.

Good luck

There isn't a perfect message! Women aren't all sheep that want the same message they are individuals so message them as such.

Wow! Thank you _partharmony. You have demonstrated that there are similar thinking couples on here. First impressions count so initial messages are key to demonstrating a link. Friendship and trust is built over time through fun conversation. Your lengthy reply was spot on with advice and support, just what Fab, to us, is all about. Mrs SW

Anything whimsical about Kim Kardashian usually gets a reply from myself.

The unoriginal ---

"Hi, How are you?, What you up to?"

type messages will get an instant delete unless I like the look of your profile and I feel like entertaining someone with no imagination.

Good luck though OP. Everyone is different so probably my actual advice would be to PROPERLY read someone's profile/bio and then read it again a second time to see if you're compatible, share the same interests and more importantly aren't likely to be sending a pointless message that isn't curated to their needs and wants.

GK
