Yes, because there would be no point...

For a start they'd likely be 100+ miles away, and second I can't imagine someone with plenty of playmates or admirers already would want me.

I'd tell them I thought they were attractive if the subject came up though.

Lots of playmates?

Yes because I wouldn't be compatible with anyone who uses that term.

Being slightly more serious. Possibly. It really depends on the person, if I think something could happen there.

Plenty of admirers, no not necessarily. I have a person in my life who gets a fair bit of attention from forum users. But so do I. It's never really changed how I view him or vice versa - our relationship is separate from fab.

Op, would you be put off/ not contact someone who had "plenty of admirers/playmates"?

Kind of. Especially if I’ve looked at their veris and the people they meet with look nothing like me, body type etc.

silly insecurities stop me from wanting to contact anyone and even more if they have a lot of people already interested in them because I think why would they be interested in me when they have so many other people who’d jump at the chance. I usually just wait and see if they show any interest in me first.

Oh dear. It's a hard life swinging if you are going to compare yourself other people's sexuality.

From my perspective, everyone is unique and so am I.

Like I'm not bi but I don't mind women watching me with their male partner. Some women don't want to watch. Some women want a foursome or group sex. Some women are legends at sucking cock. My jaw and my gag reflex is too sensitive to be deep-throating for 20-30 minutes. But I applaud all the women who can do that. Better them than me.

It could be something as simple as he likes that you wear a different perfume from all the other 100 women.

But maybe that's just me.

"Already had playmates or plenty of admirers would it put you off contacting them?

Would you assume they wouldn't be interested? "

In my former Fab single days I was never put off. The majority of my non-club meets were with people who used the forums regularly and much like today, plenty of them had many an online and real life friend as well as the usual forum admirers.

I've never made a decision on who to contact or meet based on anything other than interest and attraction on my part. And I suspect what attracted me to them would have likely done the same to many other people.

And you never know who'll be interested in meeting you until you broach the subject.

Difficult to answer.

If they are popular how are they going to make time for you?

Plus if you have already exchanged a few messages with them and nothing comes of it I'd say you were friendzoned and best leave it alone.

Also how can you tell if someone is popular if verifications are unavailable?

Yeah I am self-aware enough to know that I can't be all things to one person.

I've got flat feet so I'm never going to be with an enthusiastic runner

I suffer with fatigue and anxiety/panic attacks so I'm never going to be with an adrenaline junkie.

I'm clinically straight so I'm not for the unicorn crowd.

So if a meet wants to go for a 26 mile run/cycle/swim and do some outdoor play on top, he's better off going with a different woman from me!

I'm more of a nudist beach/nudist spa person. I love lying on my back...or front...or side...

I would assume more than two. But don't people generalise and even if you had two. More than one they'd teem it as lots of playmates?

What term would you use instead of playmates? Even that in itself is a term open to interpretation. And does it actually matter what term people use? If they are having sex with more than one playmate/fb/FWB and so on its still more than one person they are having sex with. So the same question would still apply. Would it put you off.

Me... No. If I liked them and they like me then what they do is up to them. And vice versa.

If someone claimed I was the only one when I clearly wasn't then I'd have a problem with them but that's because they'd clearly be a liar and not someone to trust. I'd not go there.

I'm actually struggling with why admirers would even be part of an excuse to not contact someone. Hence the question.

I'm the same on this.

Everyone is different, and every pairing is different. You get different things from different people. It doesn't for one second mean anyone is better than another. Or you don't compare. People shouldn't compare themselves to others at all.

I definitely do not click on potential meets verification profiles. Why would I want to do that to my already f'ed up brain...nope nope.

The BPD toddler in my brain does not need extra ammunition to push all my buttons.

For context as a single woman on Fab in London, I have a fair amount of "admirers". I like them all for different reasons and because everyone in London lives such busy lives they and I are not always available all of the time. Londoners and I live with massive schedule clashes.

I do not like the idea of beholding someone to my time or their time. That's a commitment for life partners, close friends and dependents.

I encourage my "playmates" put those commitments first as I often have to do the same mainly for my health.

I'm actually struggling with why admirers would even be part of an excuse to not contact someone. Hence the question. "

Oh good, something to sink my teeth into when I'm high on painkillers.

I genuinely rather like this.

So let's see. If they have lots of FBs is it different from a few fwbs? Of course it is to me. I don't really care too much for labels, my dynamics are nuanced and not easily explained away. That being said, I'm not really looking for fuckbuddies. If someone has lots of them, it's not really compatible in terms of... that's not what I want.

I think people invest different amounts into people in terms of headspace, emotionally etc. In poly terms we say someone can be polysaturated. While I'm not actively looking for new people in that dynamic, I'm demisexual. If someone doesn't have that time to build a friendship, I don't feel that sexual attraction. I can think they're nice to look at but nothing more, no tears running down my thighs at the thought of them.

I can understand why admirers may put people off - people don't want to compete for attention. People are human and compare each other. It's easy to say "don't" but I'm not going to hold it against those who do. You can really, really easily spot in the forums who has admirers. It's not hard to work out.

I don't compare myself to people on the forums who those I'm in a relationship (I'm using it to describe any dynamic, with love or without) with are interested in.

We're all incredibly different, bring different things to the table.

Take you and I. We're rather apple and cheese aren't we? But we both have qualities, features that others will find attractive. It doesn't mean one is better or lesser. It's not a competition. People can find us both attractive and want to know us better.

So, no, admirers doesn't bother me. I'm quietly confident in knowing that my own brand of waffling intensity and cute chubbiness is okay really.

I'm not going to say I don't understand why people might be put off though.

If they had lots of playmates, yes. Because I wouldn't want to be one of many, feeling like I was on some sort of list or rota. Nothing to do with comparing myself, as most people like a bit of variety.

Admirers? Well that's totally different, they might not necessarily be interested in their admirers, that's probably very one sided.

There are more variables at play that would determine whether I message someone or not.

If I found this person particularly captivating I wouldn't care how many lovers they have.

If I had a passing interest in them, I would see the many lovers as a bit of put off, but only because I would feel like they wouldn't want/need me.

I wouldn't be concern. I realise that most people are doing the best they can. I have a friend who hates socialising so I only ask him out to things we do alone or with our friends of 20 plus years.

If they haven't got the emotional bandwidth to put up with loads of people, that is valid and up to them to take on what they can handle...

I, for example as per the above cock story, do not have the physical...mouth..throat...width? to suck and deep cock for more than 10 minutes. Lol! does this concern me...not slightest...I'm actuall relieved with smaller cocks. Lol! to go with my smaller mouth/jaw/etc...

As Meli says. I can understand why people feel competitive or overwhelmed by those who have lots of admirers.

I think this may be the only place I’m not competitive. Because I’m terms of who I find attractive - it’s a very broad scope. There’s not a type. Someone will just make me go - “oh” “yes, I like you”. So if I have that kind of variety - then so must some others. In which case I have as much or little chance as anyone else on here. I can’t (or more to the point) change who I am. Like me, love me or hate me….

I don't compare myself to people on the forums who those I'm in a relationship (I'm using it to describe any dynamic, with love or without) with are interested in.

We're all incredibly different, bring different things to the table.

Nice response.

So just to pick you painkillered brain more.

If someone said to you that you didn't seem interested in them because you had lots of playmates and admirers how would you respond?

I would really want to respond back and question them. And ask how many playmates they think I had, how often they assumed I saw any of those playmates and what dynamics were involved and how would they know.

Even if I had a string of veris on my profile if I had them would not tell anyone those answers in detail so how could they use that excuse or reason?

And yes we are different Meli but I've never seen any other woman on the forums or outside of them as competition or a rival.

"Already had playmates or plenty of admirers would it put you off contacting them?

Would you assume they wouldn't be interested? "

If a person interests me then l would say hello or send them a message , wether l get one back is another thing , sometimes a person can be smitten by someone else..here or in the real world .. but that same feeling isn't returned.

"Lots of playmates?

Yes because I wouldn't be compatible with anyone who uses that term.

Being slightly more serious. Possibly. It really depends on the person, if I think something could happen there.

Op, would you be put off/ not contact someone who had "plenty of admirers/playmates"?

Define lots of playmates?

I would assume more than two. But don't people generalise and even if you had two. More than one they'd teem it as lots of playmates?

Me... No. If I liked them and they like me then what they do is up to them. And vice versa.

If someone claimed I was the only one when I clearly wasn't then I'd have a problem with them but that's because they'd clearly be a liar and not someone to trust. I'd not go there.

I'm actually struggling with why admirers would even be part of an excuse to not contact someone. Hence the question.

"Kind of. Especially if I’ve looked at their veris and the people they meet with look nothing like me, body type etc.

Genuine surprise. "

How come?

I might appear to be really confident but I’m actually not, not when it comes to someone I actually like more than just “I think you’re good looking”. I don’t like the fear of being rejected. If I’m feeling confident that day I might shoot my shot but more often than not I like to wait and gauge any interest from them first. I can flirt until the cows come home but it’s all usually just a bit of harmless fun. I compare myself to other people all the time, it’s difficult not to when it’s so easily accessible on here. If I want to see the people they’ve previously slept with I can usually just go onto their profile and it’s all there in their veris. If they look nothing like me then I’m going to automatically think , why would they be interested. It’s silly I know this but it’s just how I think.

Have to say I'm very similar to you. Not as confident as some might think. I do question why someone would be interested in me. I tend not to compare myself to others they have been verified by but I still will wonder why someone has gone for me.

"Difficult to answer.

If they are popular how are they going to make time for you?

Plus if you have already exchanged a few messages with them and nothing comes of it I'd say you were friendzoned and best leave it alone.

Also how can you tell if someone is popular if verifications are unavailable?

Fascinating "

We make time when your schedules line up. but I do stick to my region/area so it makes meeting up easier even in London. We also all end up going to the same clubs, parties and socials.

I try not to read too much into verifications. unless it's specifically to do with me. lol!

I've met fantastic people on clubs...I definitely do not be thinking about verifications in clubs. Lol!

This is why I don't spend too much time at home....then I'd have way too much time to be ruminating about people's profiles instead of actually going out and building my (deficient) social skills and connecting and playing with people.

If I spend too much time thinking about something my brain like to conclude the negative and talk me out of actually leaving the damned flat.

I didn't think you would.

It's not solely about seeing people as competition though is it? It's more... people can have self doubts. Uncertainty about what they could bring to the table so to speak.

I have a person who is ridiculously successful with women. Good looking, confident, theatrical, caring. You get the idea. When I'm pmt-ing and he messages I do have the occasional "what the beep could he see in me, there are far sexier women out there". So I can see why people when they're not too confident might be put off by lots of admirers.

If someone said they didn't think I'd be interested because I have lots of admirers/playmates I'd laugh. It's an easy, cheap compliment for one. Also - bar one person who a handful of people know about, no one knows how many playmates I have. Who they all are. What dynamic I have with them. No one knows unless you share it with them. Don't get me wrong, the forums can give you a bit of a clue as to who is fucking/wants to be fucking who. It's also not a Bible to be religiously believed.

I've had people say they didn't think I'd be interested as I'm popular before. Normally I point out I'm not popular, I just type a fuck lot of waffle/vaguely smutty posts and have tits. It's easy to confuse that with popularity.

My dear Colin, this comes with the territory of discerning who actually knows what they want, what they can handle and how to actually get it without offending ( or manipulating) anyone.

Some people just message because they are bored and they want someone to talk to and then find out that they like talking to a person but they have their bias in the back of their head holding them back.

Personally, I don't spend any time talking to people who put in their profile something that I do not believe that I meet. For example slim. I'm not slim. I've always had a phat arse and thick thighs in comparison to my upper body.

Anyone who puts "discrete" triggers me. I've met too many private, discrete secretive people who were up to no good...to my detriment and the detriment of others. That's not for me.

I get you with that. Also women who ask for 8'9'10+ inches can trigger me a bit because they don't know how a ruler works! Seriously the amount of times I see women who state they only have sex with men who are over 8+ inches and yet in the pics they are obviously having sex with average Joe's.

Yes because I wouldn't be compatible with anyone who uses that term.

Being slightly more serious. Possibly. It really depends on the person, if I think something could happen there.

Op, would you be put off/ not contact someone who had "plenty of admirers/playmates"?

Define lots of playmates?

I would assume more than two. But don't people generalise and even if you had two. More than one they'd teem it as lots of playmates?

Me... No. If I liked them and they like me then what they do is up to them. And vice versa.

If someone claimed I was the only one when I clearly wasn't then I'd have a problem with them but that's because they'd clearly be a liar and not someone to trust. I'd not go there.

I'm actually struggling with why admirers would even be part of an excuse to not contact someone. Hence the question.

Oh good, something to sink my teeth into when I'm high on painkillers.

I don't compare myself to people on the forums who those I'm in a relationship (I'm using it to describe any dynamic, with love or without) with are interested in.

We're all incredibly different, bring different things to the table.

"Already had playmates or plenty of admirers would it put you off contacting them?

Would you assume they wouldn't be interested?

Op.how many playmates and admirers do you have

A lady never tells. A gentleman never asks. Me: I don't remember...that covers it all.

This answer made me laugh a lot

Good I do try to be entertaining when I'm not being entertained.

Too much in this world to worry and cry about. I'd rather not add to that aspect of life.

Any time you want to come to London (South-west London or central) the answer's always yes.

Is there an oyster card with that offer

Lol! hardly anyone uses Oyster anymore. I've got a pass because I'm mental.

London is mental so I think I'm in the right place.

Not really selling the offer on London with "mental" not going to lie

They can always say no. It’s all good

Or better they say no and you find out that they are a serial killer and you dodged a bullet....I watch too many crime documentaries. Lol!

"I think that everyone can bring something to the party and if you don’t show you are interested then you will never know whether the other person is keen as well.

Go for it if you want to OP is my suggestion.

oh this isn't about me going for someone. I'm not shy and will message. And them having others wouldn't put me off.

I do love the forums. No matter what you post people always assume you're asking about yourself.

I love asking a generic question and watching everyone think that it's about me. Never ceases to amuse me.

That's what I found funny about your cheating thread. Everyone assuming it was personal.

Oh trust me the timing of that and what happened shortly after and the assumptions that would made.... Well that's a lesson in be careful what you post in itself.

I was actually asking for a reason that no one on the thread would have even come up with.

Neither of us cheated on each other to my knowledge.

Was quite evident in that thread how the forums interpret things.

Definitely. I can imagine people's imaginations running riot!"

As you can probably tell I have an over active imagination...at midnight...need to sleep...but I'm also an insomniac.

It actually stimulates the opposite in me. I prefer to meet popular guys and have "our night" together as they are happier to share and have a similar mindset to me regarding sex and playtime.

Whilst I adore my fwb relationships, a weekend of debauchery with someone new is sometimes exactly what I need

"No, I would be wondering why on earth they would want me if they had other 'options'

At this stage in my car-crash life I'm just happy to be on the menu. Lol!

And some people like me, they are conoissuers and try everything on the menu and then decide which are their favourites but will order non-favourites depending on their mood.

We can't all be favourites or have all favourites.

I like cheese. I like most cheese. However, cheese doesn't like me. So unfortunately I can only have cheese in small doses and not every week.

Just so we are clear my... am...playmates or admirers are not cheese. Lol!

I'm not calling anyone cheesy...I however am prepared to be called cheesy..see above zero fucks.

You had me at cheese! I wish it was all as easy as cheese though

If cheese were easy for me, I could eat as much as I want and not clog a single artery.

Would you assume they wouldn't be interested? no, but I would doubt myself and think I'm not good enough. I'm not saying this for sympathy, I just have low self-esteem. But I'm working on it

hugs. It's a challenge. As i'm the other side of 40, people go 2 ways: either wild out giving zero fucks or....sink into the pit of despair or getting older.

I'm the wild out and stop giving a fuck 40-something year old. As long as I don't end up in the hospital ( ICU or psych ward), jail or prematurely in the grave, I'm going to do what makes me happy and makes me be able to look at myself in the mirror (sober with varifocals) with some integrity. I've had it for years. Being a chubby teenager to getting "buff" and getting my heart broken multiple times it just knocked my confidence "

Apparently I am Fiddles and Fiddles is me.

I think he’s pretty cool, so I’m okay with that.

Sometimes you just have to tell yourself " Fuck it." What do I have to lose.

I’m also a bit like Blu though. Sometimes. A bit.

The number of other partners/fans/whatever a person has on here isn’t really important to me. If I like someone, I say hi. And I like most people.

And if I fancy someone … then the part of my brain that fancies them kinda takes over. So I definitely say hi.

And if I *really* fancy them … they know about that by now. I’m not one for hiding it."

I verify that I've seen Mr RT fancy in action....

Oh wait.. Disclaimer: Not a playmate! um just a wingman/wingwoman.

Further disclaimer: there is admiration from my side.

It makes me sad that there are other people who feel like I do. But it brings me joy and hope when there are people who have been through similar but can shrug it off. That's what I'd like to get to.

Been an interesting read. Great thread, OP.

----------------------------------------

Hugs...I had people who told me I was not good enough.

Ever so often the BPD toddler in my head comes out with something mean and nasty along the lines of not being good enough. So I have an internal dialogue about why would I say that about myself and challenge it ( it's a therapy skill. very hard to do on your own)

4 days a week or more I surround myself with real people who give positive feedback and/or constructive criticism. I can't just shrug it off. My brain has been programmed into believing that I wasn't good enough for about 25 years. I don't care if I have to be in therapy for another 25 years..I would let those dysfunctional voices or echoes of the past take over my current or future anymore.

It's not easy and I sacrifice a lot to stay sane after those abusive 25 years.

So to everyone on the thread even if I don't know you, YOU are enough, valid and worth a DAMN by virtue of being a human being.

If you are an AI bot...um...I have no experience with those....

Goodnight all. I'm off to my weird little bed with my weird little meds.

"Already had playmates or plenty of admirers would it put you off contacting them?

Actually this happened with Tinder and I.

I could see that she was popular with plenty of attention going her way and I was just your average Joe so I had made that assumption that I didn’t have anything to offer beyond what she was already getting.

Personally I had been on fab many years ago and the last thing I wanted to be this time was just another number so it took ages for me to ask if she wanted to meet.

Moral of this story is that regardless of how we feel about ourselves other people will see you differently

No, If they weren't on Fab they wouldn't be coming with/without veris. If they're less than a dunce in general conversation, and don't have only a face a mother could love?... Then they're likely getting interaction in real life too. So why worry

Yes it would put me off. For various reasons really. My last Fab dalliance had another lady he played with and he was always pushing for a threesome between us and despite my refusal he would keep banging on about it which got a bit boring. There is the tales of their debauchery that you don’t want to hear, potential drama, and I personally don’t like feeling as if I’m an option “hmmmm which pussy do I feel like tonight? Ahhh I’ll have the Welsh one”. Silly I know, but there we have it.

That’s outrageous, some people on here are only after one and one only, yes it’s a swinging site blah blah blah but intimacy should only really be shared with one or there’s not the full effort, obviously all of the ladies in here have many admirers but I dare say a lot of them only really want the one, one that blows your socks off granted so that can take a few ‘ones’ to find out

I assume nobody is interested full stop, so I rarely ask at all. Which I think (like you op) others will do the same.

But, if I know someone had a husband and they believed in monogamous. I wouldn’t ask them for marriage.

If they had a 1 to 1 relationship and they believed in exclusive. I wouldn’t ask them

If they were here swinging, and had a few people they mix with….you should be able to ask them.

What I do is nobody business and so what , if I am interested in you take it as a compliment and let’s move it on and see , lots of people look for the negative in this and we are all looking for something, of course we are .. otherwise this place isn’t for you ..

The number of people never put me off, but who those people were and how they conducted themselves has in the past. Who, because I think some people on here are genuinely vile, and I don't want to associate with anyone who thinks those people are okay, even if it's just to wet their dick in them. And how they conduct themselves? If they blatantly had their finger in many different, ahem, pies, then I would bypass them if I didn't feel that they'd give me their undivided attention for at least the duration of a meet and it's build up...it's a matter of respect towards another human, not treating them as just the next available orifice that comes along on their conveyor belt.

The honesty part is the hardest one. People will only tell you what they want you to know. and there is no way of 100% knowing who and when they have met up with someone. Veris are easily disposed off when you unlos and rejoin, thereby removing any points of potential

but most hiding it won't veri each other at all. Most dalliances are leaps of faith and hope that we won't get too badly burned by our choices.
