well joind here about three months ago, and read the profiles of a few, and if they were interested in single guys Id reply,
After nothing in those first few months I thought maybe im not replying to enough adds, so I set about replying to everyone within 25 miles. not cut and paste. but individual notes. took an age, but that was a couple of weeks ago now and how many reples? not one, so are the majority on here just to chat and bugger it about for genuine people or do you ever reply. I see loads of moaning about non genuine people but im genuine and cant even get a reply, while im no brad pitt I don't think im quazimodo either but then cud be wrong,
It is not a competition and stop treating it like so. We occasionally enjoy the company of single men and know that we would be able to have a choice of single men within 1 hour at our door due to the fact that there are just that many of you.
If we had a pound for every post we read like this we would be very rich. Usually the advice is to go along to socials, spend time getting to know people in the chatroom and generally be polite. There is no magic formula although the majority (not all) of your so frustrating it leave the genuine ones of you in a very difficult pool.
Just relax, enjoy and take your time to understand what people really want. After all nobody likes a moaner!!!
well as im new , well three months I dont know what's been posted in the past.I do understand that there are more than enough single guys on swinging sites, And I wasn't moaning , siply asking a question, but if single guys at ten a penny and just a commodity is it any wonder im asking this.
A simple polite no thanks or no now or chat later is easy, then couples and women would not keep getting the same guys messaging them, If I DONT GET A REPLY THEN IM NOT GOING TO PESTER THE LIFE OUT OF SOMEONE FOR EVER.
We may be single guys but we have feeling to you know.
I have met couples and single on another site , but was recomended here seem they were rong never mind only another nine months to go eh
as is always commented...happy2play.....there are loads of single guys on here..and so you have to get yourself known. Use a local chat room, and go to socials local to you. that way people know you are genuine and also get to know if you are the sort of person, personality wise they would like to meet.
Put the effort in..and you will get the rewards.
Thanks but no thanks are the hardest thing to do as a couple/single female. I have added some text that we posted a little while ago when keeping records. Think about this... A few days ago we posted some new pictures on our profile; our profile clearly states that we are not interested in single men so why do we get over 30 messages in the space of 1 day from single men? Now imagine if we were actually LOOKING for single what kind of response that would provoke.
---------------
To be honest we felt that single guys were getting a rough ride so when we first started out we decided to respond to everybody - mostly a thanks but no thanks... We kept some numbers from that week
107 - Total number of "tbnt" messages sent from us
43 - Total number of responses along the lines of "go on I'm really nice please..."
23 - Total number of responses to a response saying thanks for letting them know
12 - Total number of people accusing us of been prick teasers
3 - Total number of nasty responses along the lines of "you f**king morons do you know how many people I have met from this site, you we�re lucky to get a message from me�
The rest just did not respond so I guess you can imagine that it is very hard work to get back to everyone. Although our intentions were good it was just impossible to manage so we now only respond to people who we intent to take further.
Even though we have no advert for men at the minute men still contact us and try to connect on every level along the lines "I see you like using the word "the" - so do... lets shag!!!" You are in a very deep pool and we always say that if we want a man we could get 1 here within which really describes the level of things on here.

Hello and :welcome: to the forum Happy :smile:
Great advice given already, all I will say be patient :smile:
hi,
ive looke dat you profile then the ad, now i know from most couples they will say if they are loking for a single guy they will contact them, im not saying dont make contact, do, but...
it might help if you have a more info completed ad your self. even if i get messaged by people, i willlok at the message, look at their profile,then look at their ad, oh and any pics, videos and then see if they have made any posts in the forums, oh and will now alos checkout who they have left quickies on and who have left quickies on theirs.
see what i mean,its far more than what you say in your reply to a ad...oh and remember some members are free members and cant reply to your message.
all the above is in a aim to help,not pick on you.

well joind here about three months ago,

Hi Happy and welcome......I make it that you only have 4 years left to wait then :P
Just joking xxxxx
thanks for joing the discusion and I do take the time to say thanks for the reply even if its a no its only polite at leaset I now know there are some people on here just need my balls to drop now lol lottlery that is rolleyes
Welcome.
Yes its a long hard and winding road.
Good luck.
as a single straight guy who's just recently signed up for a proper membership, I feel the problem too, but I have a bit of experience from other websites and have learned patience.
sometimes I do contact people who are maybe looking for a bi guy...but that's mainly to pay homage to the pictures and vids I've been perving :P
I'm anything but pushy...
but I must say that it's true that even when on the profile there is no explicit "don't contact us if you're male", even if single straight males are amongst the "preference" stated on the profile, be it of single girls or couples...even when I only answer to those adds that actually ASK for single guys to get in touch...
so far I've had 3 answers in total, to mails I've sent..mails of the polite letshaveashag variety... (a couple off non sollicited welcome nods about posts in the forum, I have not counted)
of those, 2 from the same girl..girl I've chatted with in one of the chatrooms.
I haven't really approached all that many people, overall..but it's still a rate of 1 answer every 15-20 PMs sent
(which I realise is a "good" rate, but still not getting anywhere...since the answers where on the line of "thanks but no thanks"...which is still better than being ignored)
yes, it's true that there are an overwelming number of single men compared to any other "category" but that still doesn't make it polite to ignore point blank whoever contacts you, if he answers to the criteria of those you're looking for.
I know for a fact I'm not pushy, false, coarse or insistent..I also know that you can't just charme everybody biggrin... and that most people will just not like my profile.. or my post will rub them the wrong way...still...
most of the people who get on the soapbox will say things like "we don't answer to you because you're a pain in the arse and you don't get a hint, or worse you're just gross"...but you don't really seem to make any distinction and just refuse any of us point blank..even those who aren't a pain in the ass, aren't pushy and only need to be told once.
and yes..I consider myself one of the latter..arrogance? maybe
it really comes down to education. I've stressed in my profile that I'm straight..if a bloke gets in touch I still read his post and answer.
the funny thing is that my posts appear to be read...so somebody has gone through the trouble of reading them..and then hasn't found the time to say "no thanks"
sometimes you really get the feeling that there are people who think that because they're very much sought after, this gives them the right to be rude (and this goes beyond the simple "not answering the mail"..and is a trend I've noticed on several websites)
right
nice post melting pot, youd think that when singles and couples advertise for single guy they would be polite enough to reply. and yes I understand you get mail by the sack load but if you dont want replies you can either say so or remove your adds. so if its up on site we single straight and genuine guy will reply. thanks to those who have taken the time to read and post. ther nice guys lol rolleyes

You're having a laugh if you think Scotland is a hub of fun :lol:
And I'm a single guy too and I think I do ok with meeting people cos I make the effort to get to munches, socials and have the occasional "shed" party. rolleyes
Old saying "what you sow is what you reap"
In other words put the effort in and you will reap the rewards.
Please don't make the mistake guys have made before you and think cos they pay their money they deserve a shag.
I'm afraid it's not like that ffs Id kill to shag dg but I've more chance of playing hide and seek :lol:
I seem to remember giving you a wee cuddle at Wigan mrs B redface

Is this the same 'northeast' that I live in? It's buzzing here mate, you just gotta look in the right places wink
like BIoke said... there is a lot going on in the north east (I live just up the road from you....)
with the greatest of repsect.. you have been here a month... I have been here almost 5 years.....
I am not going to flame you.... but i will say what I say to every person who complains...
you get out what you put in......
Do you ever go to clubs.....
Do you go to any of the socials on the site...or even put your name down
Have you ever used the forums to get to know people....
Have you ever stepped inside the chatrooms....
the site is there to help you help yourself... it is more than just the ads.... if you don't use the site to sell yourself to other people then people can only help you so much......
get out there and sell yourself..... get yourselves known to people... imagine SH to be like a pub, would you expect people to be all chummy with you on your first time in? like others have said.. it does take time and it does take perserverence...
for example.. in your profile it says nothing about the person you are or the people that you are after rather than the basics....if you are only going to use one line, then I'm sorry but that smacks like a lack of effort.....
same with using winks.... complete lack of effort.. and as one lady said in your profile, it is like a cop out
SH hasn't started charging by the word, so start using them....... tell people why you are different from the others? give people a reason to say "yes, I have to meet that person"
the successful guys in the scene are not all 6ft muscle bound big dicked behemoths..... they are the guys who go the the socials, who go to the chatrooms, who go on the forums, who can have conversations with people, who made the time to get themselves known........
sorry to be so blunt..... but I hope it helps you understand a little
