Hi everybody.
Should I call it a day & leave FAB?
I've been on the site for over 6 months now, & no one seems interested in me.
I do want to thank everybody who has looked at my profile, & those who have taken the trouble to reply.
Even those who promised to come, but never turn up.
No one has actually wanted to meet.
If there is a reason on my profile, I'd like to put it right.
Any suggestions please.
Thank you all
Colin |

What some people do, is post in the forums. They rattle on about how nobody wants to meet them and wastes their time. Then they threaten (who?) to leave the site. 
You could try that.....Ah! Wait! You have!  |

well sounded like a reasonably NICE request, loved the hardhitting comments guys....typical responses....maybe just start ignoring any lookatme/i need help posts because all u come across as is as bitchy cliquers.

There are people that have posted on this thread that have also posted for advice in these forums,or have jumped on other people when they feel they have been treated a bit harshly hmmmmmm 
To the OP id suggest what others have if you're brave enough to join a club or go to some socials then try it out,at the very least you could make some friends  |

only you can answer that question as your descion .
there are things you can do to enhance your chances as people have said ,but as with life there are never any garentees.
i would say though that generally if people are actually going to leave they just do it and not advertise their intended action |

Nowhere in either his post, or his profile, does the OP say anything about being shy or inexperienced or anything in the least along those lines. It is a simple statement, that he feels that people are not responding to him.
Now, I'm not in the least trying to be nasty, simply pointing out that there are a constant stream of posters in the forums who whine about not getting meets, or "my messages don't get replies" or something along those lines. Pretty much each and every one makes the "I'm going to leave the site" statement. Rarely does that happen.
Universally, it sparks off a huge thread and the OP ends up getting the attention they crave. It does get a little tiresome after it has been done the first couple of hundred times! Frankly, I think it is fair comment to say as much. |

Hi Colin.
I have friends in your age bracket and they also have had problems with getting meets. Single guys are a pound a penny so it is an uphill battle from the start. I hate saying your age is a factor as you are as old as you choose to be in my way of thinking.
I do think attending a club social is a great way for you to get yourself known. From personal experence in a club social inviroment age as well as physical apperance becomes less of a factor and personality takes center stage.
So I wish you luck in your endeviours
Craig. |

well said if you're not interested in the thread or have seen it before the best thing is to ignore it and find one that you like then everyone will be happy .  |

I think this is very good advice. Keep an eye on the social events and get yourself along. Good luck! |

I think you might find that it's the area you live in. IMHO there seems to be a dearth of single fems or couples in the Black Country. That being the case those who are there get more "than their fair share" of requests and then use the excuse of not having time etc to reply. If you look at many of the responses you have had critisising you there are none from your/our area. It looks like the couples/fems in Scotland are more playful than most as many of the critics hail from there, and are not experiencing what you are
Can I suggest you go to a club like Chams or Xtasia or maybe the hotels in Blackpool but don't hide in dark corners waiting to pounce on the first couple/fem who walks by. Talk to them in the bar(if you are confident enough), show them that you can string a few words together and are not like the other Neanderthals who can only use text speak.
A very thick skin is necessary on here if you are a bloke of a certain age as, as you have seen, people are only too happy to ridicule you, when all you are asking is a polite question. To me, if advertisers put preferences on their profiles, as in, local, 45-60, own teeth, hair etc and you "qualify" or meet THEIR criteria that THEY stipulate, then you deserve a response. If, however, you message people whose criteria you do not fit, as in they require someone 25-35 and you are twice that age or you live 200 miles away and you still contact them then maybe you don't.
To me though, if you are in a bar and you say hello to somebody, not many if any people would just turn their backs and not respond which is the sort of analagy you are making
persevere though mate, dont let the buggers grind you down |
