FabSwingers.com forum: Things we have noticed as newbies!

By (user no longer on site) OP

We have only been on the site for a couple of weeks and we love it. However there are a few things we think would make it a lot better. Apologies in advance if these things have been mentioned before in other threads.

1- More Defined locations. Being from East Anglia, he closest option we have to search for in meet requests etc is East Midlands. Surely it’s a big enough area to warrant its own location, could easily be broken down to Norfolk / Cambridgeshire etc.

2- 30 day wait to write club reviews! I understand why there may be a delay but 30days seems a tad excessive. Surely if a week is good enough to post in forums then why can’t it be the same for Club Reviews? We have be Photo Verified by site and numerous other verifications from meets etc. We would love to write a glowing review for our fav club but have still got to wait another two weeks!

3- Ability to post pics in forum posts. Speaks for its self really lol

4- More privacy Options. Dissucsed this earlier in another thread and it seems a lot of people agree. The option to block certain postcodes/locations/areas is something we would love. We like to keep our business to our business and would like to be able to not be viewed by our neighbours/work colleagues. While we are not ashamed of the fun we have unfortunately we still live in an age where small minded people would still feel the need to shout “Slag or Whore” at the misses if they recognised them and got turned down.

And also.

5- Extended Profiles. Would be nice to have a simple profile text for everyone to see but have an extended and more detailed profile for friends only.

6- Blocking Friend Requests. There’s several options I’d like to see. The ability to block friend requests from anyone who doesn’t have any verifications or are photo verified, and the option to block friends request from certain locations or types of people based on what they are looking for etc.

7- Everyone should HAVE to be Photo verified. It baffles us how people just don’t do this. It takes 2mins. We did ours on a napkin in a restaurant 30secs after setting our profile up yet there are still couples/makes/females that have been on site for over a year and have no verifications at all. To us that just means that they are not who they say they are. Ensuring everyone does this surely would go some way to filtering out the fakes and pic collectors etc

I'm sure if the site stopped being free, Admin could very easily sort this list out for you.

Paid sites out there have less facilities than this one and it's free to be here.

I agree with point 1. Especially on Updates, the updates would be better if they worked in the same way as People close by and used distance from your postcode to sort the order you see the updates. I'm not bothered that someone has updated their profile as looking for a meet if they are 70 miles away but might check them out if they were 7 miles away. The way it is I see updates from all over Wales and the distance is often out of the questionm

Totally agree with 7 - what have they got to hide by not being photo verified?

Have you a problem with being photo verified? it would out all the blacked out avatars who have been on for 2 weeks trawling through all our pics? Standards would increase all round surely?

No it wouldn't - and any member can perve incognito anyway - so you wouldn't know who's viewed your profile.

The only way to protect your pictures is to have them assigned as Private - so you can send them to the folks you wish to see them [when you're convinced that they're not Fly-by-Night Fakes, of course].

Nope, just don’t think it makes any difference to the way we use the site.

You’re wrong. I’m not photo verified but have had plenty of meets so I’m nit a fake. You don’t have to have a photo avatar even if you’re photo verified. Plenty of people look at profiles in streaked mode so you can’t tell if anyone has looked anyway.

So, we are fake then?

10 years swinging, hundreds of veries, but because we wont put our faces next to the site name you think we aren't real?

Maybe set all your pics to private, or friends only, that way only those that you choose can see them?

We’re not photoverified either abduct hadn’t been a problem.

We had a meet soon after joining and quickly had several meet veris so didn’t feel the need.

When looking for new meets we tend to chose those who are meet verified as opposed to photo verified anyway.

It’s a bit like getting an O Level*. It means something until you get the same at A Level and then it’s no longer important! Lol

Really showing my age now ...

Photo verification is a Defunctive feature of the site.

The amount of fake accounts that are photo verified / verified by camera are on a huge increase.

Anyone who has used a cam model website can pay said model a fee to write a name on a piece of paper.. Upload to fab and boom...photo verified fake profile.

Have to agree! Being from West Midlands, it makes it near impossible to use the meet function on the site, because its a HUGE area. Also, Shrewsbury, a place thats 10 minutes away, is listed under Wales, which makes it even harder.

Would be much better if you could just enter a post code and then select a distance.

We were all new here once. Posting constructive ideas, whether we agree or not is the point of this forum surely?

If I was new and saw some of these responses I might have wondered if Fab was a good place to be.

I’m sure the OP didnt mesn to offend any non verifieds on here, merely to offer an idea. I think Fab could do with more new members who want to embrace the lifestyle and have taken the time to think of some ideas and share them.

Welcome to Fab OP!

@ Pandora"

OP welcome to fab its one of the most strange swinging sites where if you read between the lines and if you are careful who you meet you can have a good time..

As to the site making improvements.. just read some of the older posts..

The last update was the "New! All updates(from "looking for" matches)" which if you own a time machine is a good thing.

look under Browse the

"Advanced Search" works well for meeting around a set mileage.

could go on a bit longer but would only get put on for being attention seeker .

The one about being photo verified... I kinda agree on. It’s much harder to fake a photo that has the same faces in, holding up a piece of paper with your name on it, that will match all your other photos... Thing is to those saying you are meet verified... and? Do you know how many “meet verified” people we get contact us? There’s a big chain of fakers out there, where they verify each other with others fake accounts and it just goes on, so you look, see 3 verifications (all with the same appalling bad grammar and written by a 12 year old) and at first glance could be fooled. At least photo verified is another layer of protection.

We refuse to meet anybody who doesn’t provide face pics and some sort of proof that they are who they are. We use common sense most of all, and if it’s fishy, then it’s probably a fish... But the fakers is why we mainly meet in clubs. Can’t fake your way there.

But don’t think that just because somebody is meet verified they are real, not unless you really do believe there are that many horny 18 year old cum sluts with perfect toned bodies on this site... C & G x

I had a previous profile as a single woman and had a verified photo. Since then I have a new profile without a verified photo. It has made no difference to what I have experienced etc. Both times I was verified as genuine after meets.

If someone is a fake and that keen to be on here it won't make a difference. If you don't want people looking through your pics keep them private and send the separately. If you put too many rules in place people will lose interest. You just have to be on the ball and be one step ahead. If alarm bells ring block them.

Well therein lies another flaw with photo veri's. Your first pic can be your veri pic so what are they going to compare it against? and I'd bet my mortgage that fab admin don't check your future uploads against your veri photo.

P.s we aren't photo verified either because we had a meet right after joining but if it was the case that we 100% knew fab admin did actually check them properly we would use it. Hypocritically we do prefer meeting guys that are pic verified so if anything goes nasty (which it never has touch wood) there is at least a trace of the persons face. Safety and all that

You can...use the advanced search option and select your distance...you can input any postcode or use your current location but all it will result is a list for meets that day

Those are just the people that have clicked meet me today, not anybody with an organised meet for X date, so it won’t work as well as you may think
