"I'm totally with you on this, the other one is "will fill in later" on a profile that's been active for days or weks, no effort at all. I'm also getting frustrated with one, two and three word answers to messages and that's with some people I'm in conversation with already. I sometimes wonder why I put together a decent legible and in my opinion interesting message to keep a conversation going just to get less than a sentence back each time." Unfortunately short replies are part and parcel of much social media. So your frustration is understandable. | |||

"Couldn’t give a shit about mine any more.. when I tried I got the same results, very few, so why bother ... good luck to that believe the profile makes the person, that’s if it’s even telling somewhere near the truth " I would suggest that a well written profile helps after a Club meet to sustain interest. | |||

"Iya op" The cringe at "Iya" was swiftly nullified by your excellent and clear profile. | |||

"Hah! At least I did something right. I agree, Iya isn't a great first message. I have been guilty of a few one liners whilst hot under the collar but I'm yet to use Iya... I might try it." I responded to the guy with constructive criticism. They responded with "u need to shave ur pussy". They are now blocked. | |||

"We aren't looking for single guys and generally don't mind them messaging, but not when they've clearly not bothered to read our profile. We get a lot asking to meet without anything on their profile, no pictures no info no nothing." Fully agree with your perspective. It is annoying, a decent message and profile is more likely to get a positive response or at least stand out a bit. | |||

"I definitely agree with the lack of effort in profiles (writing and reading) and the first messages. I don't know many "hi, how are you" I get a day but it's ridiculous. I don't need a poem or an essay hit surely there's a middle ground. The "will fill in later" thing annoys me too and people who have one or two pictures only from years ago. What's the excuse? Doesn't sound good so I stay away from them too. " If even I get 1 or 2 "Hi" or "How you doing" messages a day, it must be a tidal wave for you! And, inevitably, the one line (word) message generally has a one line profile. Does it work 1 in 10 or something, so they don't bother changing it? | |||

"It does make us wonder why single guys have a profile on here without any pics and with fill in later then get upset when they can’t get any responses from their 3 word messages, to us it shows total laziness or boredom. We’re not actively looking for men but don’t mind receiving messages and we do appreciate a well written one which would make us check out his profile but for us to be interested his profile including pics would have to be top notch and not just full of dick pics." True but there is little incentive when guys do put effort both in profiles, pics and messages only to get ignored in return. Honestly, how many couples/ladies can say they reply to every well written message? (I know that’s the nature of the odds but please see it from our perspective) | |||

Just another thread of a female/couple having a go at men for not reading the profile or not making an effort. I always read the profile, I’ll point out in any initial message things that are in the profile where we would match and still get ignored for the majority of the time (not everyone ignores thankfully) Top and bottom of it is, these blokes that speak like shit to women and couples expecting to get their dicks wet makes me completely get why women/couples come to the forums to air their grievances with it. Paints a bad picture unfortunately doesn’t it. | |||

" Recently we had a message that said "Iya". Please pray tell what level of degenerate, gramatical and communicative fuckwittery is this " Iya? Clearly from Yorkshire. Probably sat at 'ome wondering if you 'ad time to 'ave a few 'ours of fun in an 'otel with 'im. I don't get why people don't even try to make an effort in messages or profiles but can see the frustration from a guy's point of view. I could have the most perfect profile and ideal first message and the chances of getting a reply and that conversation keeping going would still be minimal. | |||

They want sex, they find people who also want sex. Their limited profile puts off people who want friendships and sex.

" Think the clue there is "Read Profiles", it is chicken and egg - People Don't Read Profiles, so Why bother? - Not agreeing or disagreeing - We have a couples profile which we took time to write - the top line says "We prefer messages to winks" we only get winks. Solo males are filtered simply because - she is not interested in solo males either single or part of a couple. Again she did say that but nobody paid any attention so filters in place. Unfortunately it is just the way it is  | |||

"Women and couples can be just as bad, it's not just men. I swear trying to get a conversation out of some of the people local to me is like trying to draw blood from a stone." Agreed.
