"Luck of timing is definitely in there a little. " Is this luck or just timing and being open to taking the opportunity? | |||

"Luck of timing is definitely in there a little. Is this luck or just timing and being open to taking the opportunity?" I’m talking specifically luck of timing, like Meli referenced. | |||

"I'd agree with Stelly, there's definitely luck of timing. The person I'm seeing I've known for some time but we've never quite *ahermed* until luck meant we were both open to the idea of it. Is that luck or just good timing? Maybe that's what luck is, things falling into place in a positive way. Like that message that might have gone unread but the woman was feeling horny and confident and decided to read it. The wink that might have been ignored but the couple was playing in a forum game and decided to check theirs. " Great points. I see luck as a random event that you leave to chance but you made some good about how a chain of events can lead to something that has been left to chance | |||

"I dislike the term ‘luck’ in much the same way people talk about ‘success’. It implies that people are something to win " Great point. I do wonder if luck is a reason or excuse given when things don’t work out or they do rather than looking at the bigger picture | |||

"Part of it is down to luck really I find. Just being at the right place or right time. You may caught someone on a good day or perhaps you tick someone's boxes. Then other aspects come into play too but yeah, I would definitely say luck is up there among the list as well " Or is that down to opportunity that has been created? | |||

"Luck definitely I’ve messaged loads of people and got some response but we exchange details and I wait… The last one was I was free and he said come over, not seen since Another said he was straight and he came over my chest after me sucking him" So you consider if a meet works or not down luck rather than other factors? | |||

Well, putting it that way, even getting a reply would be down to luck as well won't it. As someone else mentioned, more likely messages from the top would be read first perhaps or perhaps your timing might be off if that person may have bulk delete at that particular time so your message may have got lost. Just an example really | |||

In person & in the flesh you can express and show your best version of who you are .etc and people esp women can sense see and gage that all. 9/10 they know why you approached them! On a site, internet whole diff ball game. Would anyone do a Business deal or exchange on just a email or text?? They meet round table,then emails for further deals down the line etc . | |||

"Dont think luck comes into it Physical appearance. The way someone communicates .u could av great banter by text but then wen u are 1 to 1 could b no go ..then if u get 2 the bedroom it could b fireworks or no go x so I think there are factors not luck x " 110% agreed. So many many Variables. From both parties. But he who dares can attain what they maybe set out to achieve at that given time,or even at later stages. On any given context. Not just Sex.. | |||

"No its down to Chance The difference being? Chance is a possibility of something happening Luck is a superstitious feeling" The definition of luck is chance, rather than action. I do get what you're trying to say though! I think it comes down to semantics really - we all have ideas about what luck means and associate it with certain things. We use a myriad of terms to describe it - good fortune, serendipity, success, karma etc. Yes, we definitely can take action to increase our likelihood or even chance () of things playing out the way we'd like them to. It doesn't necessarily follow that the other person is receptive when you are. You can't plan for someone to show interest in you, you can't action that they do. You can increase the possibility of it a heck of a lot by being the best you etc but it's chance/luck/choose your poison that says ultimately yes. | |||

Ok. Describe in your own words what luck means to you? I walked to the bus stop and the bus came that very minute. I caught it by luck?? Everything that happens is by cause and reason.

Everyone has different ideas of aesthetics or handsome/pretty/good looking. Some classically handsome men do nothing for me. Some do. Rather than saying folk are attractive, I always say whether they're attractive to me. Brad Pitt, Ronaldo, George Clooney? Not in the slightest. Ryan Reynolds, Steven Mangan, Larry Lamb? Hell, yes!

"I messaged C on her single profile just as one of her stable decided during Covid he wanted more, which she wasn’t wanting…so luck played a very big part in my timing. But when the message hit, what wasn’t luck, was that my profile and pics where detailed and decent enough to warrant a response. If my profile was blank or sparse then I’d never have got a response and this profile wouldn’t exist. Luck definitely plays a part but FAB isn’t all down to luck…it’s making sure the percentages are in your favour when opportunity strikes… K" This is exactly my thinking around it all.

"“Taking a chance is much better then not taking one and if it doesn’t work out, at least you can say I’m glad I did instead of I wish I had.” Sounds sappy but make sense to me. I’d send a message to him, the timing is right for the both of us, meet and enjoy each other’s company. That mutual attraction, a spark that ignites that fire and you skip dinner and have an impromptu weekend instead, all because I took a chance. Luck, stars aligning, a greater power, as wonderful as those sound, taking a chance would be a first step and lucky is how I’d feel whether if worked out or not.

"I've been pondering this since you posted it BG. I agree with a lot of the points already made in the thread, but I also agree with Tea's statement about disliking the idea of "luck" and "success" because it's not about "winning". The connections I've made here haven't been lucky as such, but there has certainly been an element of right place, right time, especially with a couple of people that I'm very close to. Saying that though, the more important elements have been the human ones. Taking a chance on something being more than just forum talk, reaching out to someone when they were open to talking, a friend folding like a cheap suit when asked a direct question by another. Some might call that luck, some might call it fate, some might call it being on here too much and paying too much attention to things. I'm a firm believer that if someone crosses your path they're meant to, but what you do after that is down to free will and personal choice. Taking a chance, persevering and being generally open to new connections is what I'd say is generally what makes the difference between having a fulfilling journey on fab or not so much. I'm not even sure that actually answered your OP, but it's what I've got." I did purposely leave the question open to interpretation so any answer of a good one. The word luck of one of those words that has a different correct l context to different people in different circumstances. Sometimes luck can be used as an excuse why something didn’t work out or a reason that something did where that person, for whatever reason, can’t give themselves credit for the work they put in to make it happen | |||

"Serious question… So many times I’ve heard the phrases How’s your luck? I haven’t been lucky yet! Just trying my luck! I kinda, in a weird kinda way, want to know, how much does luck play in fab?? " I'm a firm believer that you can make your own luck, to a degree. The biggest thing I find on here is timing, and that right person seeing your post, checking that wink, taking a chance on a message that didn't put "bananahammock" in the subject line.. | |||

"Luck has absolutely nothing to do with how successful you’ll be on fab, unless we’re talking about that small window just before my period and the first day of my period where I could message a guy and be like you, come and fuck me now, that would be luck. Other than that it’s everything to do with whether the person you’re interested in finds you attractive or not. " Luck has a role to play of course it does. The person who you’re interested in finds you attractive or vice versa, but one of you doesn’t and decides to reject the other would be deemed as “bad-luck for the rejected”, and flip side of coin if all went well and you both hit it off then that would be deemed as “good-luck”. Be shit out of luck if was a meet-up timed with your period (unless of course they like that kink), yuk. | |||

"I'd agree with Stelly, there's definitely luck of timing. The person I'm seeing I've known for some time but we've never quite *ahermed* until luck meant we were both open to the idea of it. Is that luck or just good timing? Maybe that's what luck is, things falling into place in a positive way. Like that message that might have gone unread but the woman was feeling horny and confident and decided to read it. The wink that might have been ignored but the couple was playing in a forum game and decided to check theirs. " I like this reply | |||

"Physical appearance is largely down to luck in the genetic lottery. You can change your physical appearance as much as you want if you have the time and money I don't think that's true at all ! Why? Because it's not even a serious proposition. Changes possible through cosmetic surgery are extremely limited and superficial, often look awful, and do not alter the genetics which underpin our appearance and ageing process. A billion pounds would not make you or I look like Brad Pitt. " Just have to google up olly London for back up evidence of this. Google him anyway, makes you feel that accepting who you are is usually a good thing. | |||

"Personally I don’t think it’s down to “luck” as such. I think fab is really what you make it… " Completely this! Some make it about luck by sending hundreds of messages hoping to increase their chances... But if all the messages are crap copy and paste ones, they aren't helping themselves! it's not about luck or chance, it's about standing out, and clicking with someone, be it words, or pictures... | |||
