"Yeah I can see it can be easy to abuse but surely there must be some way to let others know someone is a time waster especially when you've chatted to them for a while, on here, kik, wattsapp and over phone, been given their Facebook name, exchanged pics, arranged to meet then nothing......." You consider your time has been wasted but the person you were interacting with had a right to change their mind. I agree that they should have told you but they didn't. We all invest time in potential meets, if a meet doesn't actually occur both parties time could be said to have been wasted if you want to look at it that way or both parties could have had their time saved by not having an unsatisfactory meet. | |||

"Wouldn't it be a great idea if timewasters could have black markers put next to their names?! Saves other people having their time wasted..... " Surely members should be able to make their own decisions based on the content of the members profile and how they interact during a phone conversation. I use my own judgement based on the content of the profile and pictures . Verifications are ignored because they are boring and always say the same thing | |||

"Biggest timewasters on fabswingers are women. Yes lot's of them all day looking for more fun and never get meet anyone just delete all messages, never answered. Most of them looking for Prince on white Horse but they're forgot about something. Prince on white Horse looking for princess.... " They're finding plenty of fun, just not with you, whatever the colour of your horse. Accept it and move on, otherwise you won't enjoy this site at all. | |||

How would you know if the women to which you refer meet or don't meet people. They are hardly likely to tell people about their meets. Discretion is a very important attribute. | |||

"What would be better (for me) is a decent way to tell if someone is using a recent picture. Have often had lovely pictures which in reality are about ten years old xx" This is a common one on here, and a real pain in the backside that people choose to mislead in this way. A way around it would be an ebay type feedback system. Once both have left a verification, a short survey gets filled out 1 to 5 stars, for punctuality, pics accurate, ages accurate, that kind of thing. We've had a great meet with someone whose pics are (by his own admission) 12 years out of date. For my wife he looked even better to her in real life than the pics, so she went ahead anyway, but it is definitely misleading and would have been a very long journey to find that out. | |||

"The only person I would consider a time waster would be someone I arranged to meet who didn't show at all! No explanation or anything" I think this is a very fair definition of a timewaster. To arrange and confirm a meet, then not show without calling or texting to say you cannot make it. (Even if it's a late last minute cancellation) That truly is wasting people's time. | |||

Most of them looking for Prince on white Horse but they're forgot about something. Prince on white Horse looking for princess.... " I must be a timewaster then, I'm often on here reading forums and chatting to friends, and I'm forever deleting messages and ignoring mail from folk I'm not interested in meeting! I'm certainly not looking for a prince and I have plenty verifications.... So maybe it's something about your profile or messages that's wrong? | |||

"How I know? Very simple to find out. I spoke with couple of guys about some girls on here. They're also said that. There is many other ways to find out it, but you have to be clever to know how to do it. Simply Of course you not agree with me because you're desperate to meet someone and you want to be the "nice guy" --- Dreamer Safe your time and don't answer " Men du the same thing. It can work both ways if that particular person is not what they are looking for then why should they have to speak. Yes it would be police to say so. But don't always work like that | |||

"Wouldn't it be a great idea if timewasters could have black markers put next to their names?! Saves other people having their time wasted..... " absolutely agree. I dont get why people approach you converse well and then boom block you! Or tell you everything they think you wanna hear and when you suggest meeting dissapear into the night like they never existed. Verifications are all good but no one is gonna post bad feed back about themselves so maybe a little mark that indicates they are known to waste time would save a lot of time for a lot of people.. | |||

" Way too many bitter people on here who cannot take polite rejection who would abuse that. Some block or go quiet because maybe the other person said something that put them off. Chatting on here then going quiet/blocking etc isn't really time wasting, you'd probably be on here anyway chatting to potential meets. To me, a time waster is someone you arrange a meet with, sort the venue, spend time getting ready, sort child care etc, time and money travelling to be let down last minute with a poor excuse or no contact whatsoever. | |||

"That happened to me it's very rude and very immature a polite sorry but no I can't make it or have changed my mind is polite not a pure blank maybe a name and shame would be better " I don't think it would. We could put the following in the forum and the onus would be on you to prove us wrong. "Geejaydee74 agreed to meet us, we paid for a hotel and bought champagne as she requested. Despite messaging us assuring us she was on her way she didn't turn up. This woman is a time waster" | |||

Ah, you mean like the 4 guys last night that were happy to meet us, happy for us to arrange the hotels and have the hassle of arranging cover at home, happy for the wife to spend ages getting ready but didn't have the common decency to txt or phone to say they weren't going to bother, even though they could message to say "just leaving, be with you soon". The ones that messaged this morning for idle chat as if nothing had happened. The ones who are now blocked and will never get the chance to have any fun with the wife, and probably the ones who will be complaining in the forums soon that they never get any meets. Seems there's more and more people on here that justify the name tag of time waster. | |||

"Wouldn't it be a great idea if timewasters could have black markers put next to their names?! Saves other people having their time wasted..... " yes timewasters come in different forms women who take pics to hide their true size not that size bothers me ,women that chat to you for ages then say they don't want to meet ,women who say they will meet and pull out at last minute I understand the period excuse if its genuine ,women who just don't turn up after you've footed bill for hotel and travel expenses ,women who post meets and even have websites and ask you to meet at the beach but don't show or answer their website messages ,women who turn up take the meal and the drinks and say not interested ,women who say they are looking for regular enjoy the meet buy don't meet again ,couples that do that as well their are many different ways to waste eachothers time its part and parcel of fab and the take it or leave it offer of sex | |||

"I agree - we have the right to change our minds. Some folk simply bottle it and I can understand that as I often get apprehensive about a new meet. However I never feel I string anyone along - sometimes you enjoy exchanging messages bit when it progresses to a phone chat you don't gel so decide not to take it further" hey I completely get that that's why I said phone chat or meet in public place ,I've had a few bottle meeting me one woman did it twice and regretted it once she actually met me | |||

Let's see how naming and shaming works..... I had a meet planned with geejaydee74 but failed to show up. Please avoid and block this absolute timewaster everyone, nothing but a fake!!!!!! | |||

Yes we did. wouldnt have been an issue if they had turned up. But basically we spent £95 on a room to have a nights sleep. Could have done that at home for free. | |||

"Wouldn't it be a great idea if timewasters could have black markers put next to their names?! Saves other people having their time wasted..... " it wouldn't achieve much certainly where women timewasters are concerned too many other men desperate to get their time wasted ,o had a meet arranged for Sunday from Wednesday last week I made my way to station Sunday morning sitting waiting for train she messages me as a reply to me saying see you at 1.30 pm and says she can't make it nothing else just that | |||

"Everybody has a different version of what a timewaster is. Not replying to messages. Deleting messages. Chatting then deciding that they dont want to meet. Wont send a pic. Wont talk on kik. Wont send a video of themselves standing on one leg singing Yankee Doodle Dandy... There would be a lot of black marks. " Agree. I believe time wasters should be saved for when someone agrees to meet then doesn't turn up! It sometimes takes a few messages to get to know if you want to meet someone so if you talk for a bit and decide they aren't right for you then fine, no problem in that at all. Just don't then agree to meet up and not show up! | |||

"Timewasters to me are anyone who spams all the local women in the area hoping for a meet without reading their profile. Like I used to get messages asking to meet in someone's truck when my profile said clubs only. That wasted my time and theirs" So true. Really hate that and it's so obvious too!! | |||

"It would be unfair if a black mark appeared by someone's name after one failed meet, because there would of course be trollers going around adding black marks just for the kicks. A system put in place where when you block that timewaster you have an option of 'timewaster' as the reason for blocking, then say after 5-10 other people blocking and clicking timewaster for a specific username the black mark would appear. That way it would be known that it isn't just one person who they've gibbed off, but quite a few. Therefore making it obvious they are a timewaster. Understandable? Or have I rambled too much? The method is sound, I'm just crap at explaining things " That's a brilliant idea, it would take some serious collusion to block someone in a nasty way. Now go have a liedown, this thinking lark is hard work | |||

"The site is a contact tool - not responsible for setting up, confirming or managing actual meets. Contacting complete strangers with the hope of meeting for casual sex offers little in the way of a guarantee and is obviously prone to risks of you getting let down. Even with the best efforts (phone calls, webcam chat, a pre-play social meet) you can end up getting let down and disappointed. You want guarantees of meeting someone face to face? Go to a club or hire a professional. Expecting the site to monitor every interaction its thousands of members have is ridiculous. It's a free site. If a 'black mark' of some kind was placed on a profile how hard would it be to simply delete that profile and start afresh? The best tools you can use have nothing to do with the site - common sense, a healthy sense of realism and a reduced level of expectancy. It's the friggin internet. A world where people can say what they want, portray themselves how they want and interact in misleading ways with no chance of any real world comeback. If folk are finding themselves regularly getting let down then try changing what you're doing. It might improve your experiences. Many, many people enjoy their lives on Fab and similar sites with none of the problems regularly touted regarding 'timewasters'. If they didn't the site would soon disappear. It's honestly not that hard to be one of them. A" FFS stop being sensible | |||

As we were only meeting for a drink I had a great evening of non stop conversation. Needless to say I didn't see her again. | |||
