hi,

I am considering leaving the site. I am getting little to no replies from any women I'm contacting. I am polite, respectful, honest and have pics available. I just don't get whats wrong. The thing is I've done well through ordinary means of meeting women (pubs, clubs etc.) but on this site the self esteem just takes a beating! Lol!

if your self esteem is suffering it might be as well to leave, its not worth that. Have you tried clubs and socials?

Having a very brief profile with "I'm new" after over a year on site seriously won't be helping!

You get out what you put in!

If the amount of effort you've put into your profile is anything to go by, you won't have much luck! Probably best to just call it a day on here.

You mean what you want isn't just served up on a silver platter with an apple stuffed in its mouth? Sod that! If I'm expected to put some effort in to get what I want than I'm off too lol

If you're meeting women by 'conventional' means and(one assumes) getting the amount of sex you want, do you really need to be on here..??

Sites like this are not the be-all and end-all, and the Swinging scene may not be for you. It's just the way it pans out sometimes. Doesn't mean you are a failure, you may just prefer a different route to your goal..?

notts

it is not instashag nor are the people on here desperate to get sex by any means, we are not nymphos and we dont do it for money..... most are on here to enhance what is probably an already great sex life.

so, if you want to join in with this lifestyle, then you need to put in more effort. just because you have a profile on here don't mean people will be beating your door down for sex on demand.

so our advice to you is, put more on your profile, tell us something about yourself, your likes, dislikes, what your looking for and what you hope to get out of the site. maybe put some humour in your profile and another pic or 2, maybe a body shot or a bum shot.

sell yourself ! ! !

Why are you telling people you are considering leaving? What was you expecting from this site?

Is it a case of "Screw you guys, I am going home!" ?

It wouldn't make a difference to any blokes really. The men who get boots galore would still be having the same joy. And if it was only the blokes who got no replies who left then its not like you'd get a share of their none existent nazzams.

Though it would make a positive difference to women and couples as their inboxes wouldn't be so eternally rammed with shite and all the blokes left would be decent specimens.

Therefore I imagine they'd welcome this phenomenon.

I always say effort in = what you get out.

Spent ages on your profile did you?

Made yourself stand out?

Joined in the banter and got known?

Participated in socials?

Or sat there sending messages shorter than your profile? Perving pics and expecting women to fall on your lap?

Only you know the answer....

Sorry if this has been said, I skipped to a reply without reading the thread

Ouch to be a single guy on this site.

Think of it this way a woman on here has the pick of the crop. She's in demand from nearly every male on here.

Why should she pick you? What have you done to stand out from the no doubt hundred of emails she gets daily?

Thanks for the replies. Some good reasonable and funny but others just enforced a few views I already had. I have recieved a few encouraging PM's too which was nice.

My expectation wasn't instant gratification. I can get that from simply clicking on a video site, booking an escort or taking a chance at the local meat market.

Yes, the profile is short. Why? I am not going to write a thesis on sex. A profile with 20 odd paragraphs of text is time consuming and daunting for the reader.

Reading the profiles that do, they normally list a dozen generic negative views of single men anyway.

At best they come across as patronising or a history of negative experiences. You could argue some are just aggressive.

Mind you, I am a single male after all. Surely its OK to assume I'll also be some desperate, sex starved ignoramus you only have to ignore?

In terms of standing out, I wouldn't cartwheel across a bar with a rose in my mouth to seek out a woman in real life so why fake it here? Should I pretend I am not here just for sex or some other bullshit? Is that the popular choice? haha.

Its a shame there is such a sweeping generalization of single males before anyone actually gets to know an individual person.

Yes, I have participated in the chat rooms so not just browsing profiles but I can only describe that as a clique.

Mikko - you are trying to sell sand in the desert as a male on here. Truth be told pal, you probably could not sell water with your profile.

If you want meets you must improve you own site as well as put effort into communications with others.

good luck whatever you choose to do.

and if that is the way you look at the site... no wonder you aren't doing well... sorry, just telling it like it is...

You DO get out what you put in... and if you thought 2 lines about you was going to cut it before you hid it... I am sorry, that smacks of laziness and not having a clue about your target audience...

as for the generalisations about single men.... no one else speaks for me!! I make my own luck and don't rely on anyone else...

oh... and please.. the "oh woe is me" stuff, just no clue!!

and double points for the using the "clique" word.... it is people who have gotten to know each other over time... you know.... that effort thing you seem to disparage in everyone else....

some people want to be helped... but in the end you have to want to "help yourself" to help yourself...

the above says to me you can't... and to be honest you seem to know better..it went in one ear and out the other

the "la la la i'm not listening" approach....

This is from the male half and I have had a few single profiles on here. Positivity is always attractive. Your profile and more, your posts are very negative which makes it look like your not enjoying fab at all, so in answer to your question, yes, might as well leave but good luck whatever you decide.

And this is probably why your not having much luck. No one is expecting you to do cartwheels it's simple supply and demand . It's not single man bashing at all. Look at it this way a woman is looking for a single male she likes your profile pic and 2 other guys if they have more info and she can get an idea of what they are like and knows nothing about you, you are already number 3. When you go out and find what you want outside the swinging world do dress well shower make sure your looking your best ?

That's what your profile is on here.

I guess ultimately the same thing brought us all here, however, for me someone with the attitude of "can't be arsed making an effort getting to know folk, just here for a shag" is really off putting. I have a guy I meet regularly from here, he pushes my buttons because he knows me, he knows my sense of humour and he knows how I tick so he doesn't hold a clinical view of me as a couple of free for all holes rather than a human being... There are people who want to skip the friends and straight for the benefits, good luck finding them I guess. I couldn't fuck someone I didn't have a good connection with.

Some edited highlights of the OP's earlier comment...


"...others just enforced a few views I already had"

"...or taking a chance at the local meat market."

".. A profile with 20 odd paragraphs of text is time consuming"

"..Reading the profiles that do... they come across as patronising"

I tried to be reasonable and give you the benefit of the doubt earlier, but the above has made me realise that - with such an arrogance displayed in the above comments - you would be be better advised to cut your losses and stick to 'more conventional means' to meet women.

There are single guys on here who have been battling away to get a meet for far longer than you and who DO NOT complain - they just accept the status quo re: the ratio of single women to men and take on advice to keep re-inventing themselves until they get the Holy Grail of the green tick at the top of their profile.

And before you say 'that's alright for you, you're in a couple', I HAVE been a single male on Fabs a number of times. It IS hard work, but - like others have said - you get out of it what you put in. And, frankly, you don't seem to have put in very much.
