"Very interesting post. Is this something you have noticed over a period of time? Or just of late? I wonder if it would be similar trend the other way about? Did your other half have a single account before hand? " I've noticed it over the last few months...but never really swelled on it or gave it much thought. We had a couples profile before I deleted my own too. He had his profile also, he's noticed the opposite. People are much nicer and more open to chat to him now! It's mostly noticing certain people don't chat anymore (mostly men)...they always knew I wasn't single and conversation was rarely sexual...*shrugs* Lu ![]() | |||

"I went the other way, I used to have a couples profile and my wife got all the attention - she was beautiful so totally understandable. We had friends who were single and friends who were couples. But when I came back to the site with a singles profile, old friends just didn't want to know - it's bizarre how fickle people can be and for a while it bothered me. All I can say in your case Lu, you are no less gorgeous than you were before. As for the people that have seemingly shunned you, it's probably an element of guys thinking you're in a couple now so there's no point, and there's probably an element of envy too. Just try not to worry too much about it ![]() There's not an imbalance...neither of us gets more attention than the other (not that it would matter to us if we did)...ive just noticed a general decline in interest in me since I ditched the single profile. I certainly don't worry about it tho ![]() ![]() | |||

It’s a very different site to what it was 12 months ago | |||

Do you think it is better in that not as many unwanted messages etc? That's great that J is finding people to be more open and friendly. I wonder if that is due to the profile change or with these strange times and other factors? (I'm only being nosey as have been toying with idea of couples profile again) | |||

"There's lots of decent people on here. They may feel like they are doing something wrong by chatting to you as one half as a couple. It's different chatting to one half of a couple on a single profile. Even though nothing has changed, it can feel a bit like 'cheating' to openly chat to one person via a couple profile, but not including the other person. Hope that makes sense. " Totally! I hope that's not the case...we have a very open relationship in that there are no secrets...he always knew who I was chatting to and never took issue with it. If those I used to be chatty with no longer feel they can because he is around, that's sad...he was always around with access to everything anyway. Lu ![]() | |||

"It may just be men being respectful of your couples status, perhaps they see it as more "official" now you have a couples profile (the opposite is often true of a male going into a couple, all of a sudden his "market value" increases and the ladies double their efforts to snag him now he's shown he's settling down material). Or maybe they just feel that any chance of meeting you has dwindled somewhat with the switch to a couples profile. Or it could just be that people realise there's no clear end to this situation in sight and even making connections for when we're allowed to meet again is a bit of a hopeless endeavour when nobody knows when that will be. " This was basically what my thought process was... Not much has changed for us in reality tho...we are usually out of the country for most of the year anyway so meets were never easy to arrange.

"So, I used to have a single profile. I kept it up until last year purely for chatting shite in here and to existing friends (J always had access, he used to respond to half my mail ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Do you think maybe the men before were viewing you as a single woman and just that. They knew you were in a relationship but in their minds they were just getting your attention. Now it's a couples profile they are not as interested as there is another gentleman in the picture. I know it doesn't seem logical as nothing has changed. And with regards to the fabs on a photo your single profile was probably on a lot of hotlists which the new profile may have not made it onto as many yet. I know being on hotlists makes a bit impact on how many fabs you get as it will show on their updates. | |||

I think you're spot on! I'm really not bothered about fabs...sure it's a nice little boost when a photo is popular but it actually means nothing to me. We put pics up for us and our friends to perv...we enjoy erotic photography. It does make me sad tho that certain people don't chat anymore...I'm no more/less likely to shag anyone now but it's a shame to think they were only chatty to hopefully get into my knickers.

"I had a couples account on here with my OH as we both enjoy playing together We both found it really frustrating - people trying to get us to meet separately - people wanting us to lie to each other - people who just didn't fit what we were looking for - people that just don't understand the dynamic It just didn't work for us - and that's what's important, hence the single profile Being here as a single male is a far friendlier experience than being here as a couple seeking singles" It's about finding what's right for you isn't it? We both definitely prefer things now, having just this profile works best for us, I'm glad you've found your way too ![]() ![]() | |||

"Your profile makes it sound that you're not very open to contact from single guys. Maybe some of them do read profiles after all" Not at all!

"I had a single profile where I could be top (or near the top) of Irish pics regularly and was inundated with messages. Switched to couple profile only and it's totally diff, haha, wayyyyy less attention. Doesn't bother me though. I gave Fab friends my new username so they could message me here and we still chat away. Pity some of yours have fallen away. Gorgeous couple btw. Mrs x" The only part that remotely bothers me is that some people I considered pals no longer speak to me...that's just a shame. Thank you lovely! Lu ![]() | |||

"I always said, speaking as a man. Not my viewpoint obviously, I'm not single for a start. If theres no end goal. What's the point?. As soon as your object of desire is part of a couple, the chances are greatly reduced of getting laid. Throw in all the covid shite etc also.

You're clearly very happy as a couple as numerous prior posts have illustrated and I think that's great, but I think you miss the attention you used to get as a single female; be it fabbed pictures, messages or conversations with multiple men. That you've mentioned specifically that you no longer have the fabs you used to, and lament men don't engage with you as before hints at this. You seem to want all the benefits of a couples and single female profile rolled into one. There's nothing wrong with that, but often life is full of compromises. | |||

And I simply think it's a shame. I'm not losing any sleep over it. If I wanted a both I'd still have both, as I did for the first 4 years of our relationship. Having one profile isn't a compromise. It's a choice we've both made, together and are both quite happy with ![]() | |||

"If nothing else, this highlights the oft fickle nature of fab friendships " They are indeed oft fickle and also transient - a shinier object catches someone's eye, or things just fizzle naturally - is the way of Fab and to an extent the world at large - fortunately there are also those friendships that can grow that are built on something a little more solid than a passing whimsy - and they're the ones to be truly valued and that last. | |||
