What's an old school gent?

Your profile seems ok to me. Do you feel it represents you well?

Old school gent, like opening doors for ladies, standing up when they enter a room etc.

I think my profile represents me, just lacking the experience....

Your profile suggests you're married

If that IS the case, the old school gent approach will only carry so far

Your photos are pretty average and they suggest that whilst you might be a nice guy to hang around with, they aren't gonna get you shagged

You don't have to explain it, but not accomodating is seen by many as a red flag

That coupled with the line about 'something lacking' in your life suggests you're playing away (can't remember your exact terminology, but it was along those lines)

So maybe state why you don't or can't accom and think of a better way round the wording what's lacking

It's a minefield here for single blokes, there is no one correct approach

Taking a look at 'successful' male profiles might help too, although when I did that, my only conclusion was to drop 5 stones and 15 years, oh and grow 6 inches

You've only been here 6 weeks and all of that during some very difficult Covid times. What isn't happening that you think ought to have by now? Remember you're on a site crammed with guys to it's never going to be easy to get noticed let alone much more. It takes time.

Well being a true gent should just be the normal to one, not a selling point? If you're here to meet people for a sexual relationship of any form maybe being a true gent isn't the focus

Baz with all due respect you only joined FAB 6 weeks ago. What with Covid especially and Xmas most people are not arranging meets. My advice (with years of experience) is play the long game. Expect nothing and you will not be disappointed. Take your time, chat and get to know people. Patience is a virtue my friend.

Nothing wrong with your profile especially as you are showing your face and they look unfiltered. That allows any woman a chance to see if she fancies you or not.

As others have said, currently the wrong time to join the site, so get yourself seen on here, contribute to the forums or chat / cam and allow your ‘Gent’ status to be seen more and properly judged by the ladies on here.

IMHO being honest, genuine, respectful, opening doors etc aren’t the markers of an “old school gentleman” they’re just markers of being a respectful person of any gender towards any gender.

I’m a bit concerned at the idea that if you’re not “an old school gentleman” you’re a rude, disrespectful person. That’s not true at all. You can be polite to any gender without being a “gentleman”.

I find the phrase “old school gentleman” conjures up an image of someone who is perhaps a bit paternalistic, older, wouldn’t be comfortable with me wanting to buy a round of drinks etc, so wouldn’t be for me. I try to be polite and respectful without needing to be a gentleman.

I know you’re asking for ladies advice but I’d like to add something.

People expect certain manners, as I see it, should you buy the drinks all night on a social, when we can do that, that’s up to you. Does that guarantee you any sex. No. It’s personal choice. Do you hold doors open. Walk on the road side of the pavement. That’s up to you. Some people will see it as an old school gent and others will see it as manners.

With regards to your profile your opening line I don’t understand that. If I see a profile that moans about people not reading them or having a go at people I don’t read them let alone message them.

Other than that good luck on here

Not at all but I’m leaning towards ‘bad boy’ approach seems to have a better success rate here....don’t quote me on that.

There is no guarantee of a meeting either way...unfortunately, it is what it is...you either get fancied or not & I think looks plays a huge part.

I think most ladies like a gentleman with manners, and I'd suggest that the reason you're not having much 'luck' is due to the minor issue of a global pandemic and not that you need to start going all 'bad boy' or be disrespectful.

Probably not the most fruitful time to be looking to meet people as I'd like to think that the majority of women are abiding by government guidelines.

Of course looks play a huge part, so does age.

I'm a perfect lady, some would say old-fashioned, a lot would actually

but I'm way older than most people's upper age range and my looks don't appeal to everyone. I don't expect people to meet me because I'm a lady and I'm certainly not going to change who I am to attract more people. I don't think you should either.

Right, you're gonna struggle to spark interest at the best of times due to many factors, thw main one being you're a bloke and without sounding cunty, a small fish in not just a large pond, but a motherfucking ocean. That's how massive the ratio is between men and women on here.

Those women will have preferences, age, height, hair colour, dress sense, even down to things like taste in music as daft as that may sound. I want someone who's gonna enjoy the same music as me rather than it being all awkward coz they ain't enjoying my ambience. This shit matters! For an awful lot of people it's an experience, not just a fuck.

6 weeks is fuck all, I'm not talking a little bit if fuck all, but a mammoth fuck all.

Add to all of the above that the world is properly fucked right now. Stress is a huge part of people's lives at the minute and a massive mojo killer.

People don't wanna make plans with others, they could be covid dead within the next few weeks anyway.

So... take a breath, chill yer beans and wait for organised group socials to be back up and running. You'll be able to get yourself across in person and not be reliant on a profile that barely anyone will see anyway.

I'd say that your profile is all about you and largely what you don't want.

Having been on here for a log time now I'd also hazard a guess that you are not single.

And nothing in the profile or pictures seems to match your username

"I think most ladies like a gentleman with manners, and I'd suggest that the reason you're not having much 'luck' is due to the minor issue of a global pandemic and not that you need to start going all 'bad boy' or be disrespectful.

Probably not the most fruitful time to be looking to meet people as I'd like to think that the majority of women are abiding by government guidelines.

I appreciate the fact that we are in a global pandemic and I won’t go all ‘bad boy’ etc. I just think that there might be an issue with my approach / opening msg....

In your profile name what are you curious about?"

Curious what this site has to offer...

Many will take "curious" as in bi-curious.

"Right, you're gonna struggle to spark interest at the best of times due to many factors, thw main one being you're a bloke and without sounding cunty, a small fish in not just a large pond, but a motherfucking ocean. That's how massive the ratio is between men and women on here.

Those women will have preferences, age, height, hair colour, dress sense, even down to things like taste in music as daft as that may sound. I want someone who's gonna enjoy the same music as me rather than it being all awkward coz they ain't enjoying my ambience. This shit matters! For an awful lot of people it's an experience, not just a fuck.

6 weeks is fuck all, I'm not talking a little bit if fuck all, but a mammoth fuck all.

Add to all of the above that the world is properly fucked right now. Stress is a huge part of people's lives at the minute and a massive mojo killer.

People don't wanna make plans with others, they could be covid dead within the next few weeks anyway.

So... take a breath, chill yer beans and wait for organised group socials to be back up and running. You'll be able to get yourself across in person and not be reliant on a profile that barely anyone will see anyway."

I appreciate that, chill pill taken

"Being honest, genuine, respectful and polite doesn't seem to guarantee any interest these days...

Will

Unfortunately not...

Totally agree, if that’s the case I will be waiting forever as I cannot do disrespectful or nasty

Are you suggesting that you need to be disrespectful or nasty to be successful on fab? Or that all that's required to guarantee meets is to say that you're a gentleman?

Not at all but I’m leaning towards ‘bad boy’ approach seems to have a better success rate here....don’t quote me on that.

There is no guarantee of a meeting either way...unfortunately, it is what it is...you either get fancied or not & I think looks plays a huge part.

Looks will play a large part, however if someone I fund attractive tries the "bad boy" shit on me, he's losing his gonads. I've been taken for a cunt one too many times and deserve to be treated like a decent human.... not a hole they want to fill

I would dare treat a lady disrespectfully...not in me to do that...that’s it, I’m going for a face change...George clooney lookalike, here I come.

Think that should read “wouldn’t dare” as by saying would dare means you will treat them disrespectfully "

Apologies, typo...definitely wouldn’t.

"I'd say that your profile is all about you and largely what you don't want.

Other than changing your name not really. People, rightly or wrongly will make that instant assumption, as that's generally what curious means on here.

It's one of those things you'd not realise or know automatically, don't sweat it.
