"No more than when i was on dating sites tbh. At least people who send the FAF messages here are being honest about what they are looking for rather than drowning you with their BS about wanting a relationship then doing one when theyve gotten what they wanted. X" I've barely met anyone from dating sites. I have seen others say that elsewhere. Interesting! | |||

"The forums have yep. " The forums? Hmm. I'd say the 1:1 interactions I've had have here made me WAY more cynical and jaded to the point I've given up. But the forums give me life. Why do they have such a negative effect on you? | |||

"The forums have yep. The forums? Hmm. I'd say the 1:1 interactions I've had have here made me WAY more cynical and jaded to the point I've given up. But the forums give me life. Why do they have such a negative effect on you?" To be fair, as a woman I would imagine that it’s far more exhausting interacting 1:1. The forums are great but sometimes the opinions can be a bit depressing and confirm the shit things I feel about people. I just stay clear of serious things these days though I’m not even all that good at that. (I’m sure my opinions have the same effect on others by the way I’m not pretending that not to be the case) | |||

"cynical and jaded? " In a way. I think I’m less naive though and less of a people pleaser than I was before. I can see through peoples shit and notice red flags more easily. I’m less likely to settle or make do. My own pleasure is now my priority. | |||

"Absolutely not…I think some people make FAB hard work when really it’s just a tool to people connect with people…another avenue. If FAB made me cynical or feeling negative I’d stop using it. K" Yes, I have stopped using it in terms of meeting people (other than socials). I'm just here for the forum and friends. How do you think I am making it hard work? | |||

"I don't think so but it has made me wonder if the people sitting close to me on public transport (would) send good or bad messages I don't think I'd risk it!" Sitting on the District Line tube one morning and a guy opened his laptop to the porn that was playing on an open tab. WITH sound effects was a worse experience. Not for me though haha | |||

I didn't realise it was because you feel negativity about many things. Yes I do find messages pretty exhausting, so I just keep my inbox locked down pretty tight. | |||

"Definitely not. If anything it has smoothed away some of my hard edges. You meet & talk to so many different people, learn about them , their likes & why and sometimes their lives. Nothing is black and white, more grey come colourful, just take the time to talk, listen & understand. Plus leave the past behind and don’t tar all with the same damaged brush. " This is lovely Shortie! Very much how I feel. | |||

K Yes, I have stopped using it in terms of meeting people (other than socials). I'm just here for the forum and friends. How do you think I am making it hard work? " I didn’t say you were making it hard work - I said some people do I personally don’t use the forums as much as I did as I don’t feel the energy. Some people seem to want to use it negatively and there’s been some activity which I’d rather just walk away from K | |||

"Life has left me jaded and fab has left me cynical. I always used to give people the benefit of the doubt but the more I see how some people treat others for their own benefit the louder my spidey senses tingle. It's good though because it allows me to be more clinical in removing people from my life and as such leaves for a more enjoyable fab experience. " So you've come to terms with being more cynical? Or something you'd rather not be? | |||

"No, it hasn't in the slightest. I'm less naive than I was but admittedly I did join when I was 21 so rather young. That's not to say I've not seen the less than pleasant side of people, I have. Even on the fora. At times I've taken extended breaks. Cried over behaviour directed towards me. But, I've also seen the good. The kindness in people with no ulterior motive. The helping hand offered to those who need it. The good natured joking, the very real friendships that can blossom from here. The comfort people can provide, even on a "sex site". It's helped me realise that I'm deserving of love (in no small part down to my fiancé who I met courtesy of the site) and actually not quite as odd and unlikeable as I thought I was. So yes, it's not a perfect microcosm of Utopia but my faith and hope in humanity, if anything, has increased thanks to Fab." I'm very glad that it's been such a positive experience for you, Meli. Almost the complete opposite of my experience. But the answers here indicate that I am the outlier. | |||

"cynical and jaded? " . No, definitely not, maybe a little more realistic. But, in fairness I always have been a realist albeit with a positive attitude. | |||

"A degree of healthy cynicism is vital on here When does if become unhealthy? When it crosses the line into being bitter and overly focused on all the negative aspects " Hmm. Don't think I'm bitter, I just don't see the point of trying to meet anymore. | |||

"It's made me far more thick skinned as I realise just how many unfriendly people are about and how many are so far up themselves they don't even realise it. However I have chatted with a few decent people here, written a few nice stories for them and I've learnt not to give a fuck because there are more important things in life. The block button is my friend." Thick skinned is a necessity here but not grown overnight! | |||
