Why bother with profiles....

Warning....Imminent rant approaching!

Our profile clearly states that we will delete one-line messages. We do want to give single guys a chance as there must be some decent ones out there, so we updated our status about 30 minutes ago reiterating this.

10 minutes after this we get a one-liner asking if they can add us as a friend.

After being on this site for nearly 2 years, we are going to have to block all single males.

Apologies to the genuine guys who will no longer be able to send us messages, to the rest of you......good riddance!

Rant over!

Seriously though, we say in our profile that we welcome messages from guys but tried to make it clear that they need to send us a personalised message, not just a one-liner. Guys on this forum (and via status updates) are always complaining about not getting replies.

The people who have not received a reply from us will now know why.

So what now? Are you not bothering with guys or are you just messaging the ones you like the look of?

It's not just the guys who ignore profiles and stuff. I get it from couples and females too.

You'll twist yourself in knots if you let it get to you. Ignore and/or block and concentrate on what you are looking for.

We still think there must be a few decent guys out there but we are going to proactively contact them and not waste any more time trawling through and deleting emails

Thanks, we have tried everything to avoid having to block you all but we are out of ideas now, this is a last resort.

At the very least they had the decency to ask before sending a friend request. I think we all get random friend request from every demographic.

It does get tiresome but we weigh it up against the decent people out there and it's worth it the end after the weekend we just had.

I have been in the lifestyle for 7 years now. Couples and singles dont read the profile.

They look at my pics and scroll through my verfis and she us worth a shag. I get friend requests and winks and one liners all the time. I request people include a face pic if showing interest.. ...

The majority dont read it. Couples included.

Its the life of swinging x

Its not what we expect from swinging.

If they can't follow a simple request to send more than one line then how can we expect them to respect our requests in the bedroom?

I love these! I'm curious, why did you feel the need to announce this on the forum? Why not just get on and do it? You've put it twice on your profile as well, why? Men hit the button, they can't send you a message, they move on.

You've been on here long enough to know that not everyone reads profiles. Men, women, couples, t-girls, everyone. With ten of thousands of profiles, of course you're going to get people who don't pay the slightest bit of attention, delete, block and move on. Is it really, honestly worthy of an exaspirated rant?

Sorry if I sound like I'm having a rant in return but these kind of threads always have me wondering why they've been posted in the first place.

You're drawing a comparison between guys not reading a profile and their ability to respect your wishes in the bedroom? Really? those two things are as disperate as saying they won't respect your wishes in the bedroom because they turn up in brown shoes.

What evidence is there to back up that theory?

Brown shoes?

We don't think it is a huge leap to believe that someone who ignores your stated preferences out of the bedroom on the initial contact is any more likely to respect them in the bedroom given the opportunity.

Sadly the kind of guys sending such shite message content will rarely be the type to read forums.

Good luck though - searching yourself and being proactive will hopefully get you much better results!!!

"

I believe only a fraction of the guys that use the site actually use the forums, so realistically the chances of anyone taking any notice of your post are pretty slim....

And those that do are unlikely to take a blind bit of notice of it if they dont take any notice of what you say on your profile...

No point getting wound up about it really.

Yes you are probably right but we do realise that single men have it tough on here so even if the advice helps a couple of people improve their approach then it wasn't a complete waste of time

So why bother with a profile or indeed a forum?

Might as well just leave it blank.

We appreciate your input but we have noticed that on most posts someone invariably suggests just to block/delete and move on, regardless of the issue.

We thought this area was to post our opinion on anything swinging related, and this certainly relates to our experience over the last 2 years.

Just around the corner

I regularly send one liners in response to funny status updates and this seems to work well as an ice breaker. It's also just as easy to cut and paste an essay as it is a one liner. It doesn't necessarily mean that a lack of effort has gone into it.

The trouble is that they won't have read your profile, nor had any intention of doing so or all the other profiles that they copy and pasted the message to in their pointless scattergun approach.

Do people actually get results from this approach? Surely it a lot of effort with little reward

I don't see the problem it takes less than a second to hit the delete button and the same to block if you feel the need.

If the quantity of such messages is anything to go by then no, it's not much effort at all. It's just a glorified leafletting operation.
