FabSwingers.com forum: Regional Message Boards

I think fab should consider further Regional message boards almost down to County level EG - North East, Yorkshire, Lancs, Devon and Cornwall. Geography is often a real barrier to meeting a compatible person so surely it would benefit all to be talking to and connecting with people locally. I post this having struck up a conversation with someone clearly on the same page as me but 350 miles away !?

Don’t think it be a good idear the smaller the group the lower the popularity off tHe groups going to be

Wouldn’t the search and message would be better

Also you say you meet someone on the same page as you

To be honest I don’t think they are as if 350 miles is a problem

Then they really can’t be all that special to you

As for me 350 miles for the right person or people is nothing for a awesome weekend in a hotel with them

And then a sim regal thing ever other month or so

I’d be all for regional boards tbh And I’d never travel 350 miles to meet someone. I generally only meet local guys!

Given Fabs lack of geographical expertise (see the lost continent of East Midlands for reference) I think it probably wouldn’t be as good as you hope

I think it will make searching harder as yes they may be local but thats no guarantee they actually want to meet, even though they say they do

Not necessarily as I sed there’s always ones a month or ones ever two or 3 months

Maybe my time hang with people in the us has made me see things differently

But some states in the us are bigger than the uk

And it not uncommon for them to date people 800 900 miles apart

So for instance you stay in one side off Texas and they stay at the other

That’s 450 miles in its self

My us friends all giggle when I say oooo I traveling 200 odd miles to Manchester

That’s like a walk in the park to them

I would understand this for dating but not for fab! Plus I don’t drive so £100s travelling to meet someone doesn’t appeal at all!

What about those that live on the border of two or three areas? Are they going to post in all three?

Everyone ones different but if 300 miles is so much off a hang up then they can’t be that special to the person it’s just as simple as that

Yes you can like I can but try putting your self in guys shose whare the number is 100 guys to one woman

Put your self in the shose off 99% off your message go unread or stright delete no matter if you take 20 minutes to think out the messages

Now put your self in a train off though you finely connect with someone and all that’s standing in your way is 300 miles ???

Good idea, as is an over 50s board. However when I search the South East for meets I get stuff right up to Milton Keynes, Banbury, etc. Might need slightly clearer definitions.

I think people have quite different lives, Natalie. I have children and they are my priority. I am unable to travel 300 miles as I haven't the money or the time to do so. Even for someone special.

And that is totally understandable and know everyone has different priorities and such

Was was only going off the context provided

You provided context in why it’s not viable for you to

But the only context the op gave was how far away they were so it’s all I could go off

I understand people have outside life’s and we don’t all live in a magical bubble world like I do

That’s why for me I didn’t mind being the one to do the travel in that sort off thing

But give no context other than 350 miles then there’s nothing to go by

See op would have posted it like you did then I would have understood but just saying 350 miles is the problem makes me think why should that be a problem
