FabSwingers.com forum: The struggle is real for guys

We've all seen it on here and elsewhere guys complaining about lack of action/responses. People think oh shut up you're not entitled to anything etc. and yeah they're right, but what I see and actually feel myself is the pure and utter frustration of not having a emotional or sexual connection.

Something that a vast majority of women (regardless of looks) can not and probably will never understand much less experience.

And please dont get me wrong here I'm not trying to have at dig women just want more people to understand where those kind of posts and feelings come from thats all.

Not sure where im going with this, feel free to discuss if you want, im just venting really.

Anyway happy new year people.

I don't agree, alot of ladies want a connection I certainly do. Maybe the reason you're not having any luck is your negative outlook. I get its harder for men to get meets what are you looking for? A one off or a regular?

The title of the thread is right as plenty of guys have the same complaint on their status or profile.

However, this site isn’t the scene, thats clubs, parties and socials. So if you’re not doing so well on here, get on the scene and meet those who are actively looking and playing.

Think about it as being a long game, it cannot compare to a night out with your mates where by 11pm most people are d*unk and lose their inhibitions therefore you probably expect to kop off easily. People are stone cold sober, have thousands to choose from and not usually just after a one night stand they will regret in the morning. Take time to find a balance in who and when to send messages and the message content. Make some friends to chat to without benefits to build some confidence and use the forums as an open book of information, I see toomany threads about having no luck, I'm leaving, people ignore me, you get out what you put in, it's not blind date. Stick with it for the rewards.

For the guys struggling……do you consider why that may be the case?

There’s are so many variables that you can control, and some you can’t. But there’s a has to be a lot of things to align for you to have fab success.

I reckon fab is a very lonely and dispiriting place for some. Is there anywhere you can look for connections away from one sided internet sites. I dont think I would be able to stay somewhere that didnt make me feel good.

It really come down to what you are looking for OP. There are plenty of people who just are looking for one offs and there that are looking for something much more permanent.

Unless you are clear in your bio and your interactions you will never find what you are looking for because ultimately you don’t know either and this is where the frustration comes in

No im not saying that ladies dont want a connection just that the opportunity to have one without much hassle is alot greater for women opposed to men imo.

I think you find that the hassle for women to find a real connection is probably greater as they have so much more shit to wade through

An emotional or sexual connection requires time to develop in most interactions on this site that component is missing.

What your experiencing is expectation versus reality. Which, evedently is no longer satisfying your wants or desires.

Most men are gross and average at best or too thirsty / cringey.

Focus on the social side and standing out from the crowd of faceless cock pics moaning.

Competition is high, rise to the competition and put effort in. The ladies do with their well written bios and tasteful sexy photos and they pick the fruit. They also get 100s of messages a day...

The old saying you get out what you put in, what can you offer a women? Convey it

Dont take it personally just level up!

It’s an online sex website

Face it, it’s an extremely shallow environment where most men just won’t cut the mustard

Men outnumber women 1000 to 1 too. They recurve hundreds of messages a day.

At an estimate I’d bet 10% of guys are getting 90% of the meets, and that’s just the way it is.

It’s not anyones fault unless your being a cock womble

Being a knob head? You know why your not getting meets

Not conventionally attractive? Not tall? Not ripped/athletic? Sorry, it’s just gonna be a lot harder for you, maybe even near impossible depending how far away from these things you’ve fallen. But that’s the luck of the draw in life.

All you can control is not being a cock womble. If on here isn’t working try a social or club where it’s not as shallow

From a genetics POV, we should expect pretty much a 50/50 split in the sex divide, so there should be around the same number of men as women. (Yes, there are some societies where sex-selective abortion and femicide skews the ratio, but this is very very unusual/illegal in the UK).

The 2011 census said across all age groups, 49% of the UK population was male, 51% female. This would make sense when we know females live longer and so there will be a skewed gender ratio at the oldest end of the spectrum.

Data:

Male to female ratio for people aged 25-69 years = 98.49 males per 100 females

Male to female ratio for people aged 70+ years = 81.77 males per 100 females

So, why would women have no/little experience of rejection/difficulty in finding sex etc? I can understand Chinese males complaining about finding a woman - their gender ratio is ridiculously skewed for the reasons I mentioned before. But not relevant in the UK really....

I beg to to differ, it's not just men.

When on my singles profile I could show my face pic and get blocked, message someone for months and get no where, send first messages and get no reply, have people just disappear yet where still active online, all the things guys complain if happen to women too. Yet my inbox would be full of messages of what would get to dead ends.

Definitely true to say there are a LOT of variables that need to align, plus a huge slice of luck r.e. Fab......in fact it's nigh on impossible as the numbers game is a massive impediment.........however....

....there are factors that can make a difference.....

Facts:

No matter what you do on here you won't have any success. Women have too many options, plus the guys who ruin it also play a part in making all men look bad.

The ONLY things that make a positive difference are:

1) Don't rely on Fab.

2) Get out to organised socials and let people see what a good person you are in reality.

3) Don't EVER be a scumbag.

4) Go to clubs, but expect NOTHING - and NEVER be entitled.

5) Always have self respect.....even if treated badly.

6) Don't rely on Fab!!!!!

I'm a VERY ordinary single male, but have plenty of female friends, as well as some fabulous couples, because I've done the above. I'm definitely NOT gorgeous by any means.

Finally, NEVER complain too much about getting ignored, even though it's hugely frustrating - and people (often couples) can treat you with contempt. Keep your standards high and be one of the good guys. If you do omplain too much you'll get slagged off in the forums by some (usually women), but sometimes other guys trying to take advantage of you by making you look worse in order to artificially big themselves up. I've watched on the forums and it happens regularly.

Just get out and be seen - I promise it works if you're just patient, unassuming AND nice!

It’s incredibly hard to find a decent guy on here. I can tell you that.

Men have a harder time in what regards? Getting sex? Hasn't that always been the case? Men trying it on and women saying no? I'm generalising but you get what I'm saying.

A large proportion of women have no problem getting attention from men. On the other hand, a large proportion of the men get no attention from women at all.

I get that a lot women have connections that go nowhere, but you have opportunities and that matters. A lot of you don’t know what it’s like to face an endless corridor of closed doors. It can really put you in a dark place.

Not trying to whine, but just telling it how it is.

I think men are much more comfortable and at ease with no strings sex hence the reason men out number women so much on fab.

It's not like women out number men in real life.

If people are looking for a connection of some kind with a woman then they are prob best of trying to find a woman where there is a level playing field, tinder perhaps or nighclubs/bars (covid permitting)

Because it’s not true and because it’s a swinging forum not a dating site forum , it’s just boring too, it’s makes you sound like a teenage boy whining he hasn’t got a girlfriend.

You think it’ makes it easier for women knowing that most men on here act like they are so sex starved, they will literally put their cock in anything , male or female or other

I think it’s 2 sides of the same coin neither side will fully understand

Most woman will never face the day in, day out, constant rejection and nos some men face. An unending corridor of closed doors that becomes so lonely you can fall in love when a cashier says “have a nice day”.

Most men will have no idea how disgusting it is to have dick thrown at them 24/7 with vile comments, lies and abuse. Men that treat you as nothing more than a hole and knowing that they’d fuck anything that moved. It’s not exactly “positive attention” at that point.

Sorry OP I really can't agree with the sentiment of your post. Many women are brought up being told by their male peers they are frigid if they don't do xyz or if heven forbid they do xyz out what they determine is normal they are easy or a slut.

Women do not have an easy life of it especially when we are younger. I agree that many of us as we get older do change and set better boundaries to what we want. It's not a bad thing we're just searching for what we want and not waiting for Me right to find us.

I mean, clubs and social spaces exist. Our first step into swinging was to go visit a club and we didn’t come to fab until afterwards. If you have something to offer women, it’s easier to do when you can be face to face and there isn’t 200 other single guys trying to get her attention.

I think you may just not be in the right place for what you're after, either that or you've got to learn to let go of expectations. My partner and I came together by chance, I wasn't looking and he crept up on me. We decided to give it a go sexually and it was our third meeting that made me realise this was it. Perhaps time to change your approach?

Wowzers.

I've been celibate almost 2 years. It's really not an issue. My self respect is far more valuable than getting dick. Why would I say yes to someone who's not "decent" for the sake of it? Doesn't sound very healthy to me and screams of those peeps who tune in pissed up when the pubs kick out coz they've got the horn and would poke a swamp donkey just to get their nuts emptied, hoping said swamp donkey is gone by the morning and so they don't have to face what they've done.

"No im not saying that ladies dont want a connection just that the opportunity to have one without much hassle is alot greater for women opposed to men imo.

As for negative outlook i mean i try not to but im not a robot im not allowed to feel negative about things?

And what im looking for is on my profile you know that thing that no one pays attention to lol"

I’m a bit confused here- are you saying that it’s easier for women to find a man who wants some kind of connection, and harder for a man to find a woman who wants some kind of connection?

I find it extraordinary how much men complain about the site when 95% of the messages I receive are one line, objectifying, graphic, accompanied by dick pics, puerile and/or completely not what my profile says I'm looking for. Most men on the site write with their dicks. I'm so sick of it I stopped meeting.

I tell ya something else that's a shitty feeling.

Learning that the connection was all a load of bollocks and you've been played. It was nowt more than knicker access.

Or learning that the connection had no right to have been made in the first place coz they're here cheating and didn't fucking tell ya.

"We've all seen it on here and elsewhere guys complaining about lack of action/responses. People think oh shut up you're not entitled to anything etc. and yeah they're right, but what I see and actually feel myself is the pure and utter frustration of not having a emotional or sexual connection.

Something that a vast majority of women (regardless of looks) can not and probably will never understand much less experience.

And please dont get me wrong here I'm not trying to have at dig women just want more people to understand where those kind of posts and feelings come from thats all.

Not sure where im going with this, feel free to discuss if you want, im just venting really.

Anyway happy new year people."

We don't meet single guys, and to be honest I'm not interested in the M at couple meets.

I think this maybe that women in relationships may already be fulfilled or don't want that intimacy with another man, or men reluctant to have a single male due to pride/ego.

This is purely my opinion though.

We find the connection thing a funny one, people seek that but just want transactional fun, the fine line can get crossed once a connection is established. I'd say attraction and simularity in wants/ fantasies are most important for swinging. Best of luck to you!

I do know that one lady I was talking to said she had over 300 valid responses . She really could not reply to them all.

I was very lucky she replied to me at all.

It's extremely difficult for single guys on a sex site . Most just give up I would imagine. At the end of the day ask yourself is it worth investing your time and energy? If it's causing you to feel sad ,depressed and giving you negativity then it's time to walk away...

Here is my POV - I can count on one hand the amount of people I have met based on me messaging them on fabs without any prior meet at a club or social.

However I can count the amount of people I spoke to at one night in a club on 4 hands. Ok some may not be interested in a play situation but your known that you are genuine.

For me rather spend time in going to clubs / socials and using fabs as a messaging system post event.

Women get opportunity via the sheer number of messages they get. They get a lot of shit, but each one of those messages if a chance to strike gold.

For many men, the buck stops at their send button. They don't have the opportunity to find gold, let alone silver or bronze.

We can debate about message quality, rudeness, dick pics etc..., but in aggregate the above is the reality.

It's just a very different for men and women here. And we're not going to change this anytime soon.

You’re speaking from a male perspective. I would have to disagree.

The sheer volume of messages generally means more shit messages, out of the few that remain, how many then match your preferences, then how many are you attracted to……

The buck doesn't stop at the send button though. Not really. They could go to a club, go to a social. Meet actual people. Truth is they'll whine and moan yet still take the lazy route, even though they know plenty of women go to clubs and feel safer in clubs or meeting for socials first.

I think this can be difficult for both males and females, but in very different ways. For females they have to wade through countless dross in their in boxes from mindless morons asking 'fancy a fuck ?'

Where as my first hand experience that has no experience and wants to try very specific (not too outrageous) things discreetly to see. Is because of females having to go through all the dross average looking single males as myself get passed by quite easily even if we are engaging and interesting in a message.

The fact is it has become increasingly more acceptable for men to be a little more adventurous and there is a surge of guys vying for attention where as females have been accepted to be sexually adventurous (encouraged) for some time.

It is just the way it is and we have to try as males to try a little harder to stand out. This is modern day nature and as difficult and frustrating as it can be and has been for me it is brilliant to see that we as a species still retain some natural instincts, even if technology is involved.

If they also had a decent profile and pics and sent out engaging messages then you wouldn’t see many people complaining.

It's been accepted for females to be more sexually adventurous for some time?! Since when?? The last time we checked, the very 19th century ideas about chastity and regulating women's sexual behaviours were unfortunately alive and well. On average, it is far more socially acceptable for men to have multiple casual sexual encounters, whereas women are berated for having the same.

I do and I am very easy going and have made it clear that I am none pushy and explain that there should be an element of chat and a want before any sort of meet is even discussed.

For me it is what I'd like to try that is the issue and if I wanted to go and do them with loads of random stuff for the sake of it I could have, but wanting to meet the right people to do discuss is difficult as a newbie that's unverified. No matter how genuine you may be.

Also as a side note, without coming on to you as you aren't interested looking at your profile you are a very attractive guy. Just sayin, from an 'average guy' it does make it easier lol

Ah, but people must also understand there are an awful lot of folk who use the site to keep up with clubs and events and people they meet at said places.

So I get what you're saying, but they'd certainly find they'd get more interaction. I went to a club a NYE and have spoken to 3 profiles on here since then who I saw there, 2 of whom I wouldn't have spoken to unless I'd had the initial interaction in person. So for me, it still comes down to the context of fab, and how you use it.

Too true. Quick reply of "do one" then block.

I've never had a bad message from a woman or a couple, short and cryptic sometimes but never rude. I think some blokes jump through hoops to get a meet from some very demanding people, then get frustrated when nothing happens. Over the years you just get better at reading profiles and gauging who will be a better match and then messaging them appropriately. Would you expect to score every time if you went on the pull every night in vanilla-world? I know men who have never scored, though to be fair it's from so many knock backs early on that they stopped trying. If they do score it's because the woman has made the first move. It does happen, and I find those women particularly attractive as they usually have a lot of self confidence and don't give a shit about convention.

I think you have to ask yourself what your actually looking for?

Notches on your bedpost?

A full blown relationship?

Friend's with benefits?

Or just a one off meet to get what you want?

The truth is in normal life you wouldn't walk up to a woman in the street or a bar or club and ask the thing's you put in a message on here,

So why would you expect to get a response on here?

Just because it's a adult site doesn't change that fact,

And it doesn't mean that because your on the same site it makes you more attractive to someone,

As in real life you have to start with a connection.

Be totally honest open and polite, no means no so don't get shitty,

And read people's profile properly,

All the clues are usually there as to the type of person there looking for.

Face it, it’s an extremely shallow environment where most men just won’t cut the mustard

Men outnumber women 1000 to 1 too. They recurve hundreds of messages a day.

At an estimate I’d bet 10% of guys are getting 90% of the meets, and that’s just the way it is.

It’s not anyones fault unless your being a cock womble

Being a knob head? You know why your not getting meets

All you can control is not being a cock womble. If on here isn’t working try a social or club where it’s not as shallow "

Well said!

I believe clearly that to succeed on here, you have to put in the effort, be that in your Profile, your style of approach, and continuing to watch how the site evolves as do others.

I'm 66, but still have my share of meets. Ok, I may not have masses of ladies or couples falling at my feet, but I've a few with whom I'm in touch, and meets are pending!

It's all about how one deals with and approaches everyone else. It's often a case of making someone aware I'm around and building up a rapport from there! I'm happy to wait!

I can assure you that as a woman I really struggle for emotional and physical connection too.

Sure if I wasn't fussy and didn't care I could have sex as much as I wanted with different guys but that really would do nothing for me.

I'm looking for something that seems entirely out of my reach. It sucks. It's lonely and its downright depressing

"Well this thread got ridiculous real quick... literally all I was saying that alot of men struggle to find success on here and with dating in general and that specific experience is one that alot of women aren't familiar with at all.

What’s ridiculous about it? You gave your opinion and everyone else gave theirs, which the majority disagreed.

"I do and I am very easy going and have made it clear that I am none pushy and explain that there should be an element of chat and a want before any sort of meet is even discussed.

Also as a side note, without coming on to you as you aren't interested looking at your profile you are a very attractive guy. Just sayin, from an 'average guy' it does make it easier lol"

You could be the nicest bloke on the planet but without actually going to meet real people in clubs or at socials you may find it difficult to engage with people.

This is not the golden ticket for willy wankers and the f***ing factory that some men perceive it to be...

Just because we are all on here it does not not mean its an automatic leg opener.

Be brave OP and get yourself out there, we are sure you will meet some lovely people.

"I don't agree, alot of ladies want a connection I certainly do. Maybe the reason you're not having any luck is your negative outlook. I get its harder for men to get meets what are you looking for? A one off or a regular?"

Totally agree. Great sex is only achieved when there is a connection with both or all the people involved

Fab is not here to make it work for you. Just like life, it’s there and you get or you make what you want from it.

All guys need to realise that nobody HAS to have sex or even talk to you.

All women need to realise the exact same.

But women and men on here will experience different things on here just as they will in life.

How you personally measure success on fab (which is often mentioned) is a thing only you can feel. I feel happy I joined, I speak to people and I wonder if anything sexy might happen in the future. Just as I did before I joined.

People who join need to get there heads out of the clouds thinking anyone owes you anything. That’s directed at ALL sexes.

Perfectly describes my view, well written, sometimes I can get no messages or interest for days then a flurry then nothing, just how it is, no guarantees, just roll with it guys.

I should add having been stood up almost as many times as I have had meets, I do know how it frustrating it feels but again its the game we all choose to play.

Have fun and dont dwell or get irked on the downside.

I agree. Even with no pics and no text I can still get about 40 messages a day. Not all of them are desperate either. Some are appreciative and friendly when I reply. Some are rude because I didn't offer a shag.

But it's still interaction with a human being.

Can only speak about my own experiences on here. I make contact with several ladies, and get a fair number of responses. Admittedly the success rate would be around ten percent but that’s fine with me. No doubt there will be many I don’t appeal to which again is fine, we all have different likes etc. But most importantly, I think, is I make conversation. I like to find out about people, listen to them etc in the hope we find some commonality and then take it from there.

Because it’s not true and because it’s a swinging forum not a dating site forum , it’s just boring too, it’s makes you sound like a teenage boy whining he hasn’t got a girlfriend.

Unfortunately fabswingers, much like real life, is easier for good looking charismatic men.

Women in some respects have the odd thing arguably 'easier' and can pick and choose who they want to interact with (to a point) due to simple mathematics, there's way more men on here than women.

But on the other hand the shocking treatment and abuse they also receive more than balances that out.

As others have said, it's best to just treat fab like a social thing and see what happens. Anything else will probably have the opposite effect.

From personal experience on here, the struggle is real for both sexes. We live in a digital world where its way easier to just pick up the the phone and our spare time with endless messages than have to go through the rigmarole of getting sitters, finding time and taking the risk of meeting face to face. I've been on here before and spoken, face timed ect to the same person for weeks on end who say they're looking for an emotional connection. Yet 100% are not willing to meet. Unfortunately that's life guys, before the net, if we wanted to meet we'd be out smashing the pubs, clubs ect and probably doing better than we are now even with the abundance of people on sites. Crazy times, both men and women stating they struggle on here

then something clearly doesn't work the way it should.

Since having a couples account on here I can safely say I’d rather be rejected than put up with half the shit I’ve seen. I’m a big boy, my ego can handle a “no thanks”. If people are saying that to couples I can’t begin to imagine what they are saying to single ladies.

I think it's reasonable to be looking for sexual partners in more than 1 place and type of place, especially if your preferred option is vastly more difficult than the others.

Some say that they get all the sex they want in the wider world and complain that they can't here.

Some are not adept at using appropriate strategies for the context they operate in. And some aren't flexible, potentially refusing to learn.

Survival of the fittest is truly the evolutionary principle that operates here.

Those most evolved to this climate will likely thrive. Those others may starve and die off. It's painful for them. But there's no force involved, no guns to the head meaning that they have to be here, nor can't adjust their strategies.

Both sexes can have a hard time

Womens hard time tends to be the “water everywhere but not a drop to drink” situation

Women also have the situation where they don’t have to do anything. This could be great, because if your attractive you have life handed to you on a plate. But if your not it’s very hard because women don’t really take initiative and approach, so they are left to get what’s given to them.

Men on the other hand have a situation where they get nothing unless they go for it. Even chris hemsworth lookalikes would go home alone every night unless they actively make moves

This puts men in a hard position. Either don’t make a move and be alone forever. Or face rejection after humiliating rejection. Hell, a guy might try to talk to 100 women on a night out and get rejected 100 times. And that’s just expected as a guy. It’s to be tolerated. Most women wouldn’t even dream of messaging 1st on here because even an online rejection is too much for them to handle. Imagine being in a below average guys shoes.

It’s 2 sides of the same coin. Neither side will agree because each side kinda wants what the other has a “grass is siesta greener” kinda situation

There’s also a disconnect between what people say they want, and what they actually want

Men say they just want a nice girl. When in reality they want big boobs, tiny waist, big bum. No cellulite, no wobbly bits. Looks like she has perfect make up but doesn’t actually wear any. Big lips but no filler. Wears lingerie 24/7 and is perfectly hairless

Woman say the same. “I just want a funny charming nice guy”. But we all know that’s not entirely true either. Much like men, woman have many physical traits then need in a guy.

This disconnect leads to lots of “but I’m a nice guy/girl? Why doesn’t anyone want me?”

Hmm. I think you've clearly outlined the issues for men. Some men. Not all men take the same approach of cold messaging constantly though do they? But women having a hard time is reduced to one line and they can't cope with one rejection. Huh.

Well I can’t write from a woman’s perspective, I’ve tried my best to outline some things I think. And I think most posts of this thread do a very good job of outlining that both sides have issues. I just have far more experience with my side of those issues

That's not what I meant. It was the same attitude as the OP. You started off saying both sexes have a hard time and then minimised women's experience. And a little side swipe at women because we never message first apparently. You think I am critical of men. Yes but only as critical as you are of women.

Dangerously close to incel mentality, and I would suggest you're in the wrong place. The world owes you nothing, and if you can't find an emotional or sexual connection then you need to be working out why that in unfulfilled, as often the answer is looking at you in the mirror.

I don’t feel I’ve been critical. I’ve pointed out differences, I’ve never assigned blame.

As I said, I have 30 years experience on the mens side of the issue, and only things I’ve heard about the other side.

Maybe instead you could add your side to the coin?

I think it’s evident many men think the grass truly is greener on the woman’s side. I’d argue in some aspects it is, and on some it isn’t. But only you can really give us that side?

The struggle is real. Full stop. In all areas of life, for all areas of aspiration. Nothing worth having was a piece of piss to achieve.

It’s far too easy to fail at something, and to blame the world for not bending to your personal wants and desires. And then to think that you are somehow having a tougher time than the rest of us.

Newsflash: you’re not.
