RED FLAGS ... PRE MEETING

Coming to a county near u

Hi just an ask the audience one here.

We are a fab couple and being on fab previously have seperate red flags as do most people PRE MEET.

You know the things like contradicting themselves over time in chat, or changing the goal posts or even stadium lol.

What are your red flags on here prior to meeting that you dont cross?

We have had so many disappointments in a short time as a couple here but we also have met some wonderful people.

The heartbreak here is wasting so much time chatting to someone and then been fooled by guys pretending to be women, or couples, or bi, or people turning out to be fantasists and letting us down.

At the end of the day we just want respectful bi fun where all are equal and give and receive equally... its not rocket science lol

PLEASE KEEP ON TOPIC ALL.

You live on opposite ends of the country and have to arrange to meet each other as well as someone else

Easiest thing for you is to go to socials if you can and then meet people going to them while you're all in the same room

Thanks but we are not into socials by choice yet we prefer to get to know people here and then on chat etc. And then when we meet we meet for fun. By filtering people that way we have had some wonderful experiences over the years on our single profiles and now on our couples profile.

Voice messages early on using apps, video cam if required, socials help tons to remove nervous people. Go to play parties or abroad and play.

Absolutely this ☝🏻

We usually have to travel for events. If you're meeting up with someone new and you click great, but if not you know you're going to have a good time and meet up with friends.

I prefer socials that's just me and busty blue eyed redheads. I can't find them either annoyingly. I just prefer events where it's just me and them.

Yea its a fine adjustment we need to do on our player/fantasists/messer/bullshiter radar we believe. Just need to be stricter on all your red flag suggestions. Thought of even a 3 strike rule like no verif, no photo verif, no photo shared maybe.

More red flags please all and thank you sincerely for all contributions so far...

I'd love to be able to do this too. One social we go to has coloured wrist bands (purple for Bi, and we both wear one) which really helps. As for Bi only socials, I wish!

There has been attempts. One that I can think of allowed straight partners, so that was basically a bust for us as it's specifically the Bi guys we want to meet. But I think they couldn't make the numbers and ticket sales work otherwise.

A lot of Fab socials have a lot of Bi people at them. It's sort of assumed all women are Bi (this is annoying for straight women) and a lot of "straight guys" are more Bi than they let on, because even Fabbers can be in denial!

We check for things like have they very few photos and are all their photos dick pics and is there hardly any bio. Then we also have a policy of only replying to verified people who have available pics (not a shadow pfp). We also prefer to meet people who do attend socials because that means they have put the effort in to the scene and are less likely to be married, and more likely to test regularly. Being involved in the community side of things is kind of like the scene has already done a lot of the vetting for us.

Yea thinking more about it the photo verification rule should be a must for us, its so easy to do and anybody that doesn't do it there is definitely something amiss.

Verifications themselves can be hit and miss especially if shy newbies that just dont like social meets n greets.

For me, there's saddest thing is a guy has to go through situations BEFORE he sees the truth , for me the biggest red flag is timewasters but you dont find out till you've wasted time talking to someone that NEVER was interested or going to meet in the 1st place..

Is there definitely something amiss if someone isn't photo verified? I'm not photo verified 🤷

I tend not to be too specific with regards to red flags and I find that spelling then out explicitly here tends to do nothing except provide a handy cheat sheet for those looking to hone their craft.

That said, I won't engage with those who share photographs of other people where I can't ascertain that consent to do so has been given. I don't engage in sex chat either beyond checking we're looking for similar things and as a single woman, I won't meet for sex without meeting socially first.

For me, sussing out who I'm going to invest time in is much more subtle than a list of yays and nays. It's more about the vibe and gut feeling. If at any point something niggles me, I'm jettisoning.

Recent verifications, lengtht of time here and communication - you need to speak to both parties if its a couple, the wife is always to busy or leaves it to the husband to message excuse is enough of a red flag to run away.

Profiles who are obviously just looking for wank material. They want details, photos, chat app usernames and they always push the pace.

There are PLENTY of couples profiles being driven by one person who always want to move quickly and immediately stop replying as soon as they see it's not happening.

We think that's why your bio is important. If your getting messages from people who obviously haven't read it then that's your first red flag right there.

I agree with the poster above about the forum too. Some people are just negative craic and you can see it when they post.

Non consistency in conversation would be a red flag. The biggest red flag I found when I was meeting was when I agreed to meet for a social the chat then turned completely aexual as though it was guaranteed we would have sex. A social for me is to see if we get on enough to take it farther.

If there’s no connection or chemistry there’s definitely no going any further..

that’s why the social aspect of it is much more important than the actual physical thing

....

My point is that a comment about frequent use of the site and posts on a variety of threads being considered as a red flag might be a tiny bit hurtful to some of my Fab friends who regularly do so.

It's a forum for the expression of opinions and if regular contributors were limited in their use of the forums it would be a far less interesting, entertaining and fun place.

Those wishing to restrict the use of the forums through over zealous "forum policing" or who don't want opinions, differing from their own, being posted might be better off using other platforms. That way they would have more control over the content they might be exposed to.

A few years back now when I was first on this site, with no fab friends, only unverified experience so not useful as it came across as bull shsh it.

A lovely lady gave me the benefit of the doubt.

Since then I have seen lots of sh it on here with individuals and couples who waisted all the good will given.

I don't think any of this can be foolproof though. Things fall through, fizzle out or don't materialise; sometimes what seems great online doesn't work in person; occasionally people turn out to be not what you thought they'd be. It's the nature of the beast and sometimes you just have to take a leap of faith with those you think are worth it.

The l think if chatting to a person, within a week if they haven't mentioned meeting in any way then to me they dont have any intention , now meeting could be down the road or at a certain time when they can (life ) but its mentioned in some way but if not they have no intention of ever meeting or if its said to them ..they disappear..that tells a story
