FabSwingers.com forum: Call me a cynic!!

So I have been a hopeful but lurking member of Fab Swingers for probably about 10 years, there are times when I have been either a Silver or Gold member and times when I’ve been neither. About 3 months ago I let my silver membership lapse as I couldn’t see what extra I was getting for my money. I really only ever looked at updates and read the forums.

Whilst a fully paid up member I would get ‘viewed’ about once a month, if lucky twice a month a lot of the time not at all. Now I’ve dropped to basic membership I’m getting viewed two or three times a week….. Today I received THREE views!!

So here’s the thing….. I can’t see who’s viewed me as you need to be a paid up member……

Am I being cynical to think I’m being ‘baited’ to pay to see who’s ‘viewing’ me. None of these viewings has winked or messaged….. Not that I would expect that as it has very rarely happened in the past…

Just a conspiracy thought!!

Who’s viewed me is the most useless feature I have available in here.

Why do you need to know who looked at your profile? If they didn't message you they're not interested.

Idle curiosity.

It would be nice to know what sort of people I'm not appealing to

You get out what you put in. More effort = more views. And of course Fab is baiting you to upgrade - they know people want to see who looked at them, so they made it a premium feature. Personally I'm not interested - if they looked and didn't message that means they're not interested.

I've been on other sites where I definitely felt baited to pay for membership/enhancements but never on fab (prior to being a silver member or since).

I know that silver membership doesn't offer that many bells and whistles infact it's more like one bell and one whilst but these little extras do make a big difference to my Fab experience.

OP, my being viewed figures have trippled lately from 5 to around 15 a day; this could be a site wide thing and not just a devious plan by the Fab Mafia to increase paid membership?

I don’t it’s just intriguing. I have no expectations!

Interesting...the past 5 days, my views have been in double figures too.

That's never happened before
