FabSwingers.com forum: Website change led to less engagement

Hi, so as a lot of people may have noticed. Fab recent changed the “updates” feed. This now filters men out from one another’s feeds unless they specifically ask for it.

I’ve noticed a huge drop in the people viewing or messaging me since this was implemented. I mean massive.

Can this change be reversed or reconsidered?

I’m bi, and I like to meet guys. However, due to the stigma a huge number of men on here don’t have “looking for male” on their profile (even though they are), and so the feeds used to be the main way of them finding one another.

But now that feed has gone it’s impacting visibility of each others profiles.

Any way to fix this or workaround the issue?

My update feed has never consisted single males because it's not in my looking for

I think you are meaning in the new photo section whereas it only meets your looking for as new photos/videos get uploaded

Updates has always been for those you've stated you're looking for. I've never had an update from a single guy appear in 17 years.

New photo? Yes. That changed recently, so only those you're looking for will show, but you actually have to click on the button and go looking anyway, so it's only one more click to filter in men if you want to.

I suspect there's a lot less straight men looking for men as opposed to bi/curious or secretly bi, (there's always fabguys for those that are) who were frustrated by having to scroll through shots of naked guys to see the less frequent couple or single woman images.
