Why Your FetLife and Social Media Behaviors Don’t Get You Girls: 10 Reasons Why It’s Not Working
2 min readOct 13, 2024
- You Treat FetLife Like a Dating App: FetLife isn’t Tinder. Constantly messaging women with sexual innuendos or straight-up propositions makes you come off as desperate and creepy. FetLife is a community for kink, not a place to drop your fantasies on strangers.
- Your Profile Is All About Sex: If your entire online presence is just a list of your fetishes and what you want in the bedroom, women will lose interest. Real connection requires personality, humor, and mutual interests outside of kink.
- You’re Overly Aggressive in DMs: Sliding into someone’s DMs with “Hey sexy” or “Wanna play?” right off the bat is a huge turn-off. No one likes unsolicited sexual advances, and it shows you haven’t taken the time to build any rapport or connection.
- You’re Posting Too Much Sexual Content: Constantly posting explicit photos, videos, or hardcore fantasies on FetLife and social media without any balance of who you are as a person can make you seem one-dimensional. Women are looking for connection, not just someone who broadcasts their desires non-stop.
- You Never Engage in Meaningful Conversations: If your comments or replies are always surface-level or flirtatious, it shows you’re not interested in getting to know the person beyond their appearance. Women appreciate thoughtful discussions, not just “hot” or “let’s meet.”
- You Focus Too Much on Physical Appearance: Complimenting women solely on their looks or bodies over and over again comes off as shallow. While appreciation is fine, constantly fixating on their appearance shows a lack of depth and understanding of who they are.
- You Don’t Read the Room: Social cues matter. If someone isn’t engaging with your messages or isn’t reciprocating interest, take the hint and stop pushing. Continuously trying to get their attention when they aren’t interested will only damage your reputation.
- You Act Entitled to Their Time and Attention: Behaving like you deserve a response or attention just because you’re attracted to someone is a big red flag. No one owes you their time, and acting entitled will quickly get you ignored or blocked.
- You’re Always Broadcasting Your Desires: Constantly posting about how lonely, horny, or in need of a hookup you are can be a major turn-off. It reeks of desperation and gives the impression that you’re more interested in your own satisfaction than in forming meaningful connections.
- You Lack Social Proof and Confidence: Women are often attracted to men who have a life outside of chasing women online. If your profiles don’t show you as a well-rounded person with interests, hobbies, and a social circle, it becomes clear you’re using social media and FetLife as a crutch for your real-world social skills.
Your online behavior reflects how you’re perceived by others. If your approach is too sexual, desperate, or one-dimensional, you won’t be successful in connecting with women.
