"Here we go Another single guy thrashing post . " If you'd seen the lacking in quality messages we received, you would understand. Remember I have been one of those single men too! Don't judge if you haven't experienced it. I'm also talking about some guys, not all! Too many send one line messages!!! Not a good way to start conversation, is it? | |||

"Manners and thought will get you meets, yes. Sadly most single men - not all - make no effort in their first message. I wish they had when we were looking for our couples meet!" This is true but in a single guys defence . It does not matter how long they take over a well written message or just say hi . If they are not for you its not going to happen . And I have been lucky to have quite a few meets so this is not a " I am so hard done too message " | |||

"As a single man on here, I always thought the bad reputation single men had was harsh re not showing up, not being able to meet, uninspiring messages, etc etc. However, having recently started a couple's profile, I can see what ladies and couples complain about: I have spent much of the last week dealing with blokes, as my sub wants a guy for a MFM today (Saturday). We only secured one late last night! Of course a no show is still possible. My main complaint is that so many bi guys, attached guys messaged and so weren't suitable. Then deduct the huge number who sent "Hi, how are you?" messages, which is a turn off, and not many were left. One or two of those left started to quibble about whether our couple's profile was genuine, even then, even though we both have verifications on our singles profiles. So, single men, get a grip! And please send interesting messages that give an idea whether we would click! Hopefully we will be able to post a verification in a day or two which will, presumably, help for future meets. What are common complaints from women and couples? Thoughts please " easily resolved, block guys and you do the searching life will be easier... | |||

What are common complaints from women and couples? Thoughts please " My thought...... If you are looking for a specific thing... Why don't you get off your arse and do the hunting rather than waiting on people to come to you and be the hunted.... I am sick of the single guy bashing partly because they tend to have one thing in common... It is people being reactive rather than proactive... The popular guys are already out there having fun! Why should they meet you as opposed to any other couple or single woman.... I really hate it when use to generalisation bus to run over people | |||

"True. I understand. Certainly it will depend on what women and couples are looking for. I was looking for someone with something between his ears, even more so than what's between his legs! Hence the "Hi, how are you?" messages meant the guys weren't even considered" Exactly what we think. A message saying "hi" and trust me we have had a few that short, gets deleted without even looking at the profile. If they cant be bothered to put a proper message together we cant be bothered to consider them. | |||

"I've had just as many crappy one line messages from couples as I have from single guys. " if anything the messages from couples are the messages with the least effort put in. It almost feels like they feel anyone they message should be grateful for their attention. The messages from single ladies are usually triggered by a forum post and so tend to have more content. | |||

"I'm not bashing all single men, just those that don't read profiles - we've had approaches from bi guys for example (bi ladies too!) when no part of our joint profile indicates either of us are bi - and many one liners, which don't excite our interest! Should they? As a single man before setting up this couple profile, I always tried to send detailed messages to show I had a brain and that I had read the profile. I find mental stimulation prior to a meet an important part of building up excitement and anticipation. As for being proactive, I was. Yes, initial contact should not be left to single men. And yes, replies from couples and women should be detailed too. Not just "Hi" as I've had in the past. So perhaps we should all work hard on these things? Anyone disagreeing, surely can't complain if all future messages say "Hi", "Hi" back, followed by "Fancy a fuck?", "Yes". Would that make Fab better? " not everybody likes long detailed first messages and why should the poor guys put so much effort in only for them to be ignored. If you are looking for guys that do detailed first messages then surely just use that as a filter so you can easily see which ones are right for you. You aren't going to change the way people use the site, and why should they just to suit your requirements? | |||

"Well as I have been on here as a couple and a single guy I have found in my area that if your not black if your not Bi if you are over 40 then there isn't much hope for the older single straight guy." That sounds very defeatist and slightly improbable | |||

""It does not matter how long they take over a well written message or just say hi. If they are not for you its not going to happen."" Don't think that couples and single females haven't been known to send one liners too. They are humans after all. Some are genuinely nice online and in real life. Others are dicks all around. Others are perhaps not 'digital natives' and don't quite know how to interact with others / how to come across as a nice person online. This despite claims of appreciating well thought out initial messages which are then met by indifference or cold one liners, whether this is deliberate or not. Then again, assuming that you have a decently written profile that states who you are, what you like, and what you can offer, why should you repeat any of that in an introductory message to anyone? It *will* boil down to a simple 'My gut feel is that I'll like them' vs. 'Nah, definitely not'. Only exception is if a profile asks for specific things, e.g. a facial photo, specific text in the subject line to demonstrate that you've read their profile, etc. | |||

"Here we go Another single guy thrashing post . " Well if you don't like it how about arranging with your other single guys to stop the vast majority who behave like pricks? Our favourite one happened last night. First message contained one word. I was bored so replied and asked if we were only worth one word. The response was a penis pic with a message along the lines of "I let this do the talking" I mean. Come on. We are not 14 years old. Give it a rest and try engaging with us on an adult level. I submit and agree that not all single guys are like this, but it seems to be universal experience that it is the norm. It is simply too boring to filter through the garbage to find the small percentage who do respect more than the hope of getting to shove theor lonely little cocks into whichever vagina they can find. It is not sexy to feel like we are just a rent-a-vag for a horny guy. We kinda like to think we have something in common and a connection. I feel sorry for the decent guys on here. But there simply is too much noise from your colleagues. It needs to be sorted. | |||

"In our time on fab ( about 15 months ) , we have experienced pretty much everything . Clubs , parties , dogging , single girl meets , single guy meets , group meets and couple meets . The only time we have ever travelled to a meet , only to be let down by a no show has been with couples ! Every other meet has been spot on , never a no show from single guys ! So bashing single guys is not warranted as far as we are concerned . Perhaps because couples have a back up with each other , or they feel higher up the chain , but for us , they are the most likely to let you down , and despite our guarantee that we will never let anyone down , not all couples are the same ! " ALL of our no shows have been single guys, and believe me Im not just talking an odd one but LOTS. Couples and single women (apart from one couple who showed up) have either stopped messaging as soon as we tried to arrange a date, or made arrangements for a future meet then stopped talking soon after. We've yet to have a couple or women literally no show on the day. | |||

"I love these threads, I love the fact that so many status messages and forum posts appear that slate single guys. Why? Quite simply it's partly your responsibility as a single femme or couple to select genuine guys from non-genuine. But apparently it's the genuine guys fault that your selection process isn't working. I know a lot of genuine single guys just that will have wry smiles reading such things.. Single guys are always berated for not reading profiles to judge whether they are suitable for the couple/femme. Did you read theirs to suss out whether they were genuine?" Firstly this "selection process" always makes me chuckle. Theres no such thing. We have people chat a while, send face pics, have verifications etc and then no show. Secondly you say single guys get bashed for not checking profiles to see if they are a match and ask if people have checked theres, if there not a match why would you? Genuine or not if they are not a match and would have known they were not had they checked your profile why does it matter to you if they are genuine or not. A perfect example is when a black/indian guy messages us. Emily only likes white guys as clearly stated in our profile. Now if they dont read the profile or totally ignore that then how is it anybodies fault but theres when they get ignored??? | |||
