Maybe because you say you want people who show their face on there profile as it would put us off, some can’t show face pics on profile. But that’s the only thing I could think, we would meet you

Wanting face pictures on first message. We know you are showing yours and we probably would send ours but we think majority of people want to make contact first, make sure you are ok people, then send them at their leisure when THEY are comfortable to do so. No point in typing out a nice message for you to just delete as no face pics attached.

But you really don’t seem to be doing too badly - and you have to appreciate you can’t and won’t appeal to everybody.

And also - just because they’ve viewed and not contacted you - doesn’t mean they don’t like you - they might be hot listing you for the future, when time and opportunity is right. That’s what we usually do

I agree with others that the expectation of a face photo, would be an issue. It makes me wonder if you grasp the necessity for most on here to be very careful.

Many of us do jobs, where finding out you are on a swinging site could cause problems.

It would be the need for face pics on profile for us and I’d say the wording on your profile comes across as quite abrupt, it doesn’t entice me to message you. B x

The age range is a guide as i would consider us to have younger faces then our ages. Ive seen some people that are older then our age range that we would meet but they are rare.

Not saying folk wouldn't send face pictures, just not with first message. That's what would put folk off. We all need the attraction but establishing we are compatible is always a good start. Personality is just as important as looks in our opinion

Most of the answers you get will be because you aren't what the people who look are wanting or vice versa. For instance I'm straight and 22 years older than your top age.

We get hundreds of views a day and on days like today only one message.

Like everyone else says about face pics expected, this life is a dirty secret to most and not something you’d want all your family and freinds to know you do so we don’t put face pics on but if after a few messages you seem to click most people will send a face pic before meeting!

Other than that your pics are great, good looking couple and a fabulous body on the mrs so you should be getting plenty of offers

Face pics being required may be off-putting. Sometimes people don’t want to show their faces until a meet is on the cards, not because they are munters, but because they want discretion and that’s more likely if they don’t hand out face pictures willy nilly!

Also, some folk are just pervs

We like your profile, but you’re a bit far away

as it's your profile, if you want x,y or z then you're only setting out your stall aren't you.

most of us don't know or see the demographics of the fab membership and if we did then that may just change all of our perceptions as a result.

for sure, you could change some of your parameters to widen the attraction of others, but that's down to you both.

we found that it's easier to meet people at clubs, social and parties rather than just be here so perhaps that might help - happy FAB'ing

Look at it another way OP - for ease of maths let's say you get 7 new messages a week, which is one message from every 100 views.

If you remove people, out of that 100 views, who are outside your age range, whose criteria you don't fit, or they yours, then take away those that don't see an attraction based on your pics - none of which anyone could know without looking at your profile - the number of messages per view is actually a lot less than 1:100, possibly as low as 1:10 which is not a bad hit rate when you look at it that way

It should read profile or message.

At least thats what i thought i typed. I understand the need for privacy for some people but for us as busy people filtering out people that we wont be attacted to saves us alot of time. I know it sounds harsh and i dont mean it to be rude but we just need to filter it down.

Hmmmmm I can’t chat to you as I’m a single guy... your stats could be recording singles.

Just a thought...

The other thing is i always swerve people who demand pictures straight up! As there’s loads of picture collectors on this site. Plus who wants to send their face pic and never hear back or be blocked it’s rude and happens a lot on here.

I’m not suggesting you do that it’s just peoples behaviour changes on this site due to historical treatment.

You've had 9 meets. Which is good going.

Also, because you've already given your face pic, people don't have to message you to see if they are attracted to you. Not everyone will be attracted to you, and that's ok.

I am thinking this is a narcissistic question. You have blocked single men from messaging. That's fair enough, but to pretend you don't know why you get far fewer messages than views is disingenuous. "Just curious". I bet you are.

"Just curious as we get 50-100 profile views a day but maybe 5-6 messages a week.

actually... blocking men kinda gives the answer without knowing the answer...

bear with me.... method in madness coming!

single men are to couples.... what couples are to single women! loads of one group chasing a smaller number of the other

so couples can block single guys from contacting then, but there isn't a thing in place for the ther...

so just because a couple is here... it doesn't mean they are owed a single bi fem! they have to almost think of it the way that single men have to do with couples...

give them a reason as to say "wow i have to meet these people!!!"....

what makes you stand out from any other couples seeking the same thing?

mindset..... loads of couples think they rule the roost and doen't have to do any work.... might be the case if they are after single men (although actually i would say say that is arguable since the popular men are popular) but thats not the case for single bi fems......

I wouldn’t message as you’ve not had an ‘in person’ meet since 2017 (going by your versus) and I would assume you’re not that serious about meeting so just wouldn’t bother making a connection on that basis.

Yeah i was just trying to gauge which of these was putting people off. Seems to be location and the request of pictures.

I know we are not every1s cup of tea, and i dont expect every couple or single lady to message us. Also we get a lot of winks but if i message back(which is a simple "thanks for the wink if you fancy chatting then message us back") its usually just read and not replied to.

That does seem to be the case. I lived in London for nine years, in Manchester for three, and there’s just so much more going on up north. Even when we’ve both visited London and tried to arrange a social, responses have been almost non-existent, even with single guys (which I know you’re not looking for).

For comparison though, we’re hardly active at the moment, and whenever we do log into fab, we’ll get maybe 20 messages from single guys and just one message from a couple if we’re lucky. This is fine for us - I know many other couples and single women can be a bit put off by the age difference and attraction/fitness gap between us both, so we mainly use fab to keep updated on the scene and our playtime is just at clubs these days (of which we have many to choose from - maybe London isn’t as lucky there).

You have nothing to worry about - you seem like our type to hang out with, so let’s campaign for the high speed railway to get built!
