I was reading various posts by men complaining about sending loads of messages and not getting any replies and I was also looking at reams of posts by women snowed under by messages that didn’t fit very specific requirements etc.

So here’s an idea, what if all men just had the function to send messages completely removed? Women then wouldn’t be doing message admin as if it were a second job and they could use their time to just browse and approach men whose profiles they liked?

Obviously men could then reply once they had been messaged...

Ooooo you would get some very frustrated men then! Some would be forced to fill out profiles not just have 'Fill in later' and they would have to think about their photos not 50 cock ones and worst of all the not bi straight guys who have a little cock on the side would have to put bi on their profiles!

I think its a great idea lol

Yep, it would save everyone a huge amount of hassle. The non-serious blokes who just sign up and pop on to demand instant sex would count themselves out and women could just look for what appeals to them.

Great idea but I think this is called bumble......

Honestly it would never work on here....

This would mean women would have to do all the work and there is a chance they might get rejected.....

You have never seen the amount of abuse is hurled at a single guy if he rejects a couple or female....

But with nothing else to do we’d just spend our time taking and posting more cock pics though

Not really necessary because instead of moaning about the amount of messages they get and cock pics they recieve they could just use thier filters.. but no drama there

Any woman who wants to use the site this way may, all they need to do is block all men and couples from being able to message.

I'll wager that only a small percentage do though.

That’s what slightly confuses me. Why be put out by vast numbers of messages if you can just ignore them all or block all and be the person to do the seeking instead? Is it because there is a perceived loss of face to be the person who approaches, rather than having the pleasant feeling of being the object of desire?

I think it's partly that women are traditionally passive in such encounters.

Won't happen because a very small % of men will be approached, meaning most will leave and hugely reduced funding and site membership numbers,

I’m guilty of this yesterday. Can’t remember how contact started but he added me, checked me out then removed me. It did feel a bit rude and I told him so. Then I thought I probably shouldn’t have as women probably do that all the time. I deleted / blocked so I wouldn’t message by accident again (he was hot), but if you see this I apologise for calling you rude.

Also, good call on using filters and just approaching. Maybe we could have a flirty female Friday or something where we do this?

How about remove all the pointless single women from the site. Then it will still be the same

Thank you for being honest.... it’s refreshing to read that on the forums...

You would just end up with couples profiles with stories of the wife ain’t able to meet etc.

I supppose compulsory photo verification should take care of that. I’m just thinking that it could be a wee tweak that could totally change the landscape on Fab. Perhaps it would force both men and women to make more of an effort in different ways and out a lot of the jokers and narcissists from both groups?

Despite all the moaning, I suspect most women secretly like the fact that they are bombarded with more messages than they're able to respond to.Who doesn't love a bit of attention?

Remove single men completely from fab. The single females and couples can then moan about each other. Then remove the single females and leave the couples to get on with it.

I don’t want to get down on people, everyone has their own stuff to deal with after all.

I don’t really use this site for meets, I prefer the environment of clubs as I think most people tend to be much more polite in person.

Everyone comes on here to enjoy themselves so perhaps a small shift like that could really improve people’s experience. I think I’d prefer it anyway, no one wants to think they are being annoying simply by sending a message!

Oh I have, I met someone it was a really good meet. Then a week or so later she messaged me to see if I was free, it was late and I’d just finished a long day and just wanted to chill. I said thanks but not tonight and explained it had a been a long day. OMG the abuse I got was unreal, she really went off the deep end

No thanks to this idea.

The messages received from men, without them having their hands held, work as a useful filtering device. If it's lost, it probably means harder work overall for me.

How about if single men wired themselves up when on here and got ongoing bursts of electricity for each dumb thing that they are seen to do?

Well you would still have that when they responded to you, but only from people who seemed to fit your type to some extent in the first place.

Yes, I think similar issues on eg tinder led to bumble being created. This would use a similar idea but for swinging rather than dating.

I expect the women would all be going for the same handful of men and complaining that they didn't get replies, while the bulk of the men were on the forums complaining they weren't getting any mail.

Maybe, but I doubt every woman has the same taste in men. And even if that was the case it wouldn’t matter as they would be drawn to the men they find appealing, which is the whole point
