It's not necessarily you man. There are many reasons why they may not message you back. Remember that males on here saturate most of the profiles and so couples or women tend to get many messages daily, so please be patient when seeking a meet.

There are literally so many of us single guys, way more than are needed so what you have experienced is to be expected. Don’t expect no thank yous either, no response is a response.

Honestly? A message landing in our inbox with that profile pic would be deleted unread, sorry. Very few people want dick pics sent to them without being asked.

Sadly we have to echo the core sentiment. Fab is saturated with single men. Some are charming and eloquent, others have all the charm and wit of a well rotted zombie. By far the best way to get a meet is to go to a club or social.

It might be the case that the only thing you are doing wrong is not being patient enough and having too high expectations, it's not always that something is wrong with your profile. It takes months to get your profile tweaked and right then months more before you even get chatting. reading the forums a lot will start to give you an idea of what is liked and disliked in profiles, the ratio of males to couples and females makes it very difficult to stand out.

Your profile reads like you'd be looking for something more on the BDSM side of things, and there's not a large number of people on here into that.

"The truth is this ....small hairy cock pic...theres no point going further

And dickheads like you need to fuck off

a bit unnecessary

And what she said is ? Double standards .."

The OP asked for advice in his profile. You just insulted them for no reason.

You see I never get this, people are unnecessarily nasty when there is no need and people don't call that but, but call out a reaction to the nasty post

Ok can I remind people, being nasty to someone for the hell of it is not allowed on the forum. If you can't help someone out when they ask for advice without doing that then please avoid this type of thread

If your profile is a realistic and accurate description of you, reflects your personality and illustrates precisely what you’re looking for and what you have to offer then you aren’t doing anything wrong OP. Just because no one has replied to you doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong it just means the people you’ve messaged didn’t want to reply to you. No one can please everyone and you shouldn’t try to change anything about yourself in an attempt to please more people, eventually your true colours will come to the fore anyway. Just keep being yourself and eventually you’ll find your perfect match.

Your bio is just a list of what you want. It doesn’t tell me anything about you, or show your personality.

I wouldn’t read a message from you based on your pics alone.

I think women want to see body pics too.

I think his bio tells us everything we need to know about him.....sometimes you can tell a lot about a person by what’s not in their profile as well as what is...

Just because you like the looks of someone doesn't mean they have to like the looks of you.

I think you are one of many that join thinking your entitled to something.

If want to understand the scene, use this site as a learning tool and maybe try out social events and clubs.

One comment on your profile is that it's not great grammatically. I know we don't want War and Peace on here, but I know a number of women whose first check on "Will we click mentally?" is "Can they write in complete sentences, with capital letters and punctuation?" If your profile looks like this, I suspect your messages will too.

Please don't take this the wrong way. I'm not saying it's my opinion - it's something a number of women have actually told me. So if you're wondering why you aren't getting replies, consider that your written English might be holding you back.

And I'm afraid that goes double for anything kink-related. The important part of kink is what happens between your ears, and I'm afraid your writing style is going to be used as a benchmark for your attention to detail in other things.

It doesn't change the fact that single men are ten a penny on here, of course. Expect that most messages won't be replied to, or perhaps even read. But with the odds against you, you need to do better if you want to stand out.

Also you're talking about a lot of kink here, and it looks like you switch. Anyone thinking about playing with you is going to want to know how that dynamic works for you. Do you want to switch with another person, or meet some people who you always dom and others who you always sub to? That's important, and if you don't (or can't) say then you're a risk they may not want to take.

Never understand why people say it's due to the amount of guys this has nothing to do with it.because everyone's looking for some kind of connection and chemistry and possibly a fantasy which they'd like to explore if their isn't an attraction wether within the bio or images then adjust be creative even in the approach.

You've been given some really good advice already so i wont repeat it all. As has been said, if your profile is a true reflection of who you are and what you are looking for then don't change it just to try yo please others, just be patient and only message people who you are sure looking for the same things.

Also, maybe look at changing your pics to include whole body shots,

maybe some clothed. A profile with nothing other than dick pics is not appealing to everyone.

Sometimes it's not the profile it's people having an overwhelming amount of messages as struggling to reply to everybody I would always say don't take it personally it's a free site at the end of the day and just enjoy the forums

You’re probably message #352 that day and you could be charm personified, the recipient is probably just sick to the back teeth of messages and couldn’t care less.

Welcome to Fab.

If you can’t genuinely think of a reason that it’s you, and you do have to be honest with yourself, then it almost certainly isn’t.

Op I suggest

Dress smartly take few pictures from different angles an appearance is an opportunity to open doors if you're concerned about the face crop image even change theme of the image as some look great if the light captures well

Good luck pal
