Hey everyone,

I’ve been using this platform for a little while now, and while I’ve had a few conversations here and there, I’m finding it really difficult to build any genuine connections. Either the chats fizzle out quickly, or I get no replies at all after what feels like a decent opener.

I’m genuinely trying to be thoughtful and respectful in my approach, but it’s starting to feel like I’m missing something key, either in my profile, the way I message, or maybe even who I’m choosing to reach out to.

A few things I’ve noticed:

I try to personalize messages based on people’s profiles, but they often go unanswered.

I’m not sure if my own profile is putting the right message out there or coming across as too generic.

I’d really appreciate some guidance from others who’ve had more success. What’s worked for you when it comes to starting real conversations and building rapport? How do you keep things engaging without coming on too strong or being overly casual?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Feeling a bit stuck

I think it's a well written profile. You only have one pic so I would suggest adding more. Maybe it is only looking for people under 35 which is limiting your appeal, or the fact you have "local" in your name might put off people further afield.

Wishing you success on here.

Cannot accommodate is a red flag. Men that cannot accommodate, in a lot of cases are Married and cheating. Big turn off for a lot of us.

Definitely need more pics - the one you have is at least not a dick pic, but it's uninspiring. In all honesty, the profile text is bland and generic and says much the same as most other guys. Try and inject a bit of you into it, and add something that someone could hook a conversation onto. Also, yes, your age range is going to limit your audience.

Couple of other things to bear in mind: Fab's own FAQ says "no reply = no thanks", so don't get hung up on people not replying. It's generally easier to not reply than to deal with the "oh, why not?" questions or abuse when you politely decline.

Also, a lot of us don't have the time for long drawn out messaging. We have very dull lives outside of Fab, only play maybe once a fortnight so generally don't have an answer to "what you been up to?" or "have you been naughty?" which is generally how Char's end after three days.
