A threat implies damage to someone, how would leaving the site ever cause that?

Lots of people.

Some still leave and some stay.

Some that leave come back a fortnight later. Almost to the day. As if they created a new profile 2 minutes after leaving.......

I've never threatened to leave but I have considered it occasionally.

I've seen people threaten and their gender influences the reaction they get usually. I just think that they're frustrated by some aspect of the site and everyone needs a little attention. There's no harm in it. If course there are people for who the site isn't suitable either for their mental health or their requirements and it's best if they do go

People who threaten aren't going to leave, they are just looking for someone to notice. If I want to leave I just do quietly out the back door like most people.

I don't understand why people do this for any reason other than attention.

Like they're not a bloody aeroplane, they don't need to announce Thier departure....

Just skulk off quietly with ya dignity in tact, it just smacks of desperation when there is some big dramatic flouncing episode.

Obviously if you've got friends here who you message regularly or know in real life, then a quick inbox to say 'im gonna have a wee break from fab for a while so if my profile disappears you know why' would surfice.

There is no need for the drama

You don't even needs pics when you're a woman on here , when I first joined and I hadn't found the message filters, I had no pic up for a few days and was told loads of times how sexy I was and did I want to meet when I had a blank profile .

Will take the compliment, thanks, but we don’t see ourselves like that. Solid 6/7.

I wouldn’t be comfortable taking pity/fake attention regardless, it would make things worse imo. Plus there’s PLENTY of likeminded folk, lots of different shapes & sizes etc.

I always tell people that if their self worth/confidence is that low this REALLY isn’t the site to be hopping on.

If someone wants to leave it’s up to them, but sometimes they might just genuinely need to chat with someone. And just not feel confident enough to ask for help.

So saying they’re leaving might just need someone to say “don’t go, stay… you’ll be missed” or a DM to see if they’re ok.

Lots who post those I'm leaving threads get plenty asking them to stay .I've rarely seen one that has no one asking them to stay. A lot of times they don't leave. Is it attention seeking or just someone wanting to say goodbye because they were actually thinking of leaving,well only the op who posts knows that.

Plus I suppose it's easier to say goodbye in a thread if they are forum users because all messages get deleted when they leave so maybe that's why some who do leave post them.

People who announce they are leaving are just seeking attention - as are most of the faux “oh please don’t go, this place won’t be the same without you” responses. I have news for them - it will be the same. Let them go.

I occasionally consider leaving and let friends know in a message - there is a lot of pressure to just let my profile be dormant for a while... But it doesn't resolve the yo-yo of being here, so I can see why people do it in a thread - if you put it in a thread you are more likely to go through with it maybe?

Some are flouncing or want attention, but some are genuinely hurting and low.

Seen a few goodbye threads and then that person has gone UNLOS. But they’re genuinely not looking for affirmation as often they give reasons why they’re going.

I have contemplated it a few times but when I do, it’ll be done off the forums. But I will contact those friends I’ve made over the years to say goodbye.

Attention seeking, just like a vague social media post

I think the general new male, preconception leads to this too.

As it’s a swinging site, the assumption is that all the members are “ up for it , easy “ etc…. They send first approach messages that wouldn’t turn a light switch on, then wonder why they dont get replied too. Ego crushed as cant even pull on Fab… their misconception of members has caused own downfall.

You wouldn’t walk upto someone in a pub and tell them utter filth, but the remoteness of online, seems to remove that filter…

So if you wanna leave, strap on ya dignity and walk away… or try harder and realise ya cock isn’t a magic wand with instant pantie dropping upgrades

I've never threatened to leave which is a constant source of annoyance and disappointment to some.

I have left a few times before and come back months later but never announced my exit or entrance.

Some people need constant reassurance and validation but to those saying they are on the wrong site if they are struggling with that I would tend to disagree.

Most of the attention and validation may be wafer thin but for many people that's exactly what they require.

A gossamer veil to add to their shallow personalities and personas.

Yup I’ve commented on a few. The “Rate my wife” threads baffle me. No one wants a genuine answer and if someone dare say “2/10” they’d get lambasted and if they put something like “bit rough” likely a ban.

If you’re a forum regular & female then generally the reaction will be a positive one.

If you’re not a regular / single man, then brace yourself for incoming piss-take comments.

Genuine question, who's ever made this threat and had someone beg them not to go?

Majority of the time I ignore and think 'off you fuck then'

It's horrible when you see people being bullied off the site, but then people who have just tend to leave they don't announce it

Makes me laugh when people quit, come back, quit, come back, quit, come back.... ad infinitum.

I ain't got no issues with any posts, people can post about anything, wherever it's there leaving or they want attention blah blah etc, what gets me there could be two identical posts by two different people and there genuine feeling it at that moment in time,in one post there be saying oh don't leave etc and in the next post there be saying we'll fuck off then etc,and if you have a opinion and a popular member doesn't like it then expect a few others to turn on you. I understand everyone is trying to impress the women males tv couples etc to get a meet but the sucking up is laughable yes miss yes sir whatever you say I totally agree

Either way, you'll get no such response from us

As soon as you ask them why they're going or don't go then you could end up feeling an obligation to them and the party in question will form a connection to you.

So na, you go if you want to, we won't stop you because you're a grown ass adult and we are not responsible for your choices

Some empathy goes a long way, whether they do it out of self seeking behaviour looking for a bit of validation or reassurnace. Please bear in mind these are human beings not human doings, so people with feelings, and insecurities just like the rest of us. Some kindness and a bit of love goes along way with people...

All over

People will have their reasons to leave and sometimes might be the tight thing for them. What can be upsetting is when you hear either from them or others that their reason was the abusive behaviour of other people on here. You can never assume what may have happened, but sadly there are some inconsiderate, selfish, aggressive people even in the forums that can get to someone after a while. Best of course to ignore them or even report if warranted as sometimes is the case.

If they're not getting the attention they're seeking then maybe they should reevaluate there choices to be on this site

Let's not forget what this site is for.... Sex, not politics, love or even friendship.

It's a hook up site pure and simple

You wouldn't buy an item from the shop if you didn't want it would you? Or test drive every car?

Not everyone does it for attention, not at all. Recently someone did it who seems to get plenty of love here - so why not carry on just being here instead? Some are quite sad, and some will surely be positive leaves too (esp on Fabguys I found - I remember one where, after quite a lot of men said "don't go" - though not me I'm proud to say - he literally went back to the woman he loved!).

Last year on here I made a thread that said something like 'sod this I'm off for the sun', and was happy with the two replies I got! (yes of course I looked, most people will). One was from gentleman Jim and another saying I'm right I think. So no harm in saying when you're buggering off for me, nor in coming back some later date. pt

I expect when most people leave they need the break and don't envisage coming back. It's not demeaning anyone else, so people should be able to do it if they want.

Just noticed the OP said 'threatening' to leave. I have seen that on FG, but tbh I don't think I have on FS. I think most people have decided they need to do it (ie they need the break from here) and are just saying bye. It's a natural thing to do when you have put a lot into a place like this imo. pt

Here's the typical response that I've become accustomed to over thr many years that I've been on fab. I never said that you have responsibility for people's rejection issues or how they recieve that. My point still stands that empathy and thought for others goes along way..

We all gain validation from off fab. You show me someone who says they don't and I'll show you lier. When some one shows us that attention then that makes us feel good. So I.e validating someone's feelings. It's nice to be nice remember that

You’re right, people can do what they want, but it just screams attention seeking. Imo it’s not overly mature, and if you’re seeking validation from randoms on a swinging site, you should probably work on your self confidence.

I’m very aware I come across cold, rude and unnecessarily blunt on here, but I’m very genuine and will do anything for anyone that’s struggling. A brilliant example will be one of the regs on here that got torn to shreds in the forum and was struggling. Took him out for coffee & cake (the cake was amazing) and had a nice chat.

Some people think it’s like an airport lounge where they have to announce their departure. Same happens on social media groups too.

It’s a form of attention seeking. Those that announce it very rarely leave and if they do, they come back.

Problem is as humans we tend to fix an internal problem with external solutions. So any external validation is all ultimately fake. What it comes down to is the meaning that we attach to it.....anyway thats me now going into work mode...so fuck that and just fab my pics as I'm.needy as fuck

Just from the forum angle though, is a Lounge forum (or a Politics one for that matter) just about sex? I think people use this site for all kinds of reasons. I remember arguing this point on FG in the middle of the pandemic, with a guy who had completely forgotten the lockdown was on! I used to get asked for meets almost every day during the pandemic over there, a lot of young people esp were gagging for it. I wondered about the sense in keeping it open, but in general FG was a place people could go to I think. The forum there actually went from really small to huge during that time. People got really connected to it.

But if this is more about people saying "Is this site really worth it, I've had enough of x and am thinking no" if I reply I tend to be positive about what Fab can offer, as a lot of people don't use it to its full potential I think. You have to build a skin here for sure, but there is no harm in informing someone of that. So I suppose, to answer your question from that angle, people do get advised to 'stick around' and give it more of a go!

A threat implies damage to someone, how would leaving the site ever cause that?

Suicide, I dunno"

Direct them to their GP, Community Mental health Team and Mental Health Crisis team.

That's crazy talk....I can say that because I'm crazy... Any suicidal thoughts, I call my local mental health crisis line to talk me off a ledge.

Doesn't happen too often these days because I've had intensive therapy.

I think people often interpret my statements as threats but it's actually me needing to disconnect from people for my own sanity.....what limited sanity that I actually have.

I know the average person views this as intentional attention seeking but it's actually a sign of a person not having a basic mental need met and not being able to communicate that need in an appropriate and coherent and effective way.

In a way, it is attention seeking but I encourage everyone to set boundaries and state clearly if you cannot meet that person's need for attention.

It's a fallacy that one person can meet all of our needs all of the time.

Some people have a built-in support network. Some people like me do not. I had to create my own support network and I use my disability money to pay £430 for support this month. ( nothing sexual/romantic)

Set your boundaries to protect yourself and direct the person making any threats to the appropriate professional support.

Cheers

MM

Let's just say the site is a hook-up site for you only in particular OP.

As I've stated before and will state again, Being neurodivergent, being a swinger is part of my recovery and relapse prevention plan, acknowledged, validated, sanctioned, and appraised by my mental health professionals and mental health peer support. I actually go to them if I need complex advice.

People do make friends/ make relationships and have a social connection in the swinging lifestyle out of Fab.

I love nothing more than sitting nude in the jacuzzi meditating alone in a club. Lol! No hook up necessary. if a hook-up occurs that's icing on the cake for me.

We all have boundaries but we don't need to drop those brick walls on people's heads in the first instance.

Genuine question, who's ever made this threat and had someone beg them not to go?

A threat implies damage to someone, how would leaving the site ever cause that?

Suicide, I dunno

Direct them to their GP, Community Mental health Team and Mental Health Crisis team.

That's crazy talk....I can say that because I'm crazy... Any suicidal thoughts, I call my local mental health crisis line to talk me off a ledge.

Doesn't happen too often these days because I've had intensive therapy.

I think people often interpret my statements as threats but it's actually me needing to disconnect from people for my own sanity.....what limited sanity that I actually have.

I know the average person views this as intentional attention seeking but it's actually a sign of a person not having a basic mental need met and not being able to communicate that need in an appropriate and coherent and effective way.

In a way, it is attention seeking but I encourage everyone to set boundaries and state clearly if you cannot meet that person's need for attention.

It's a fallacy that one person can meet all of our needs all of the time.

Some people have a built-in support network. Some people like me do not. I had to create my own support network and I use my disability money to pay £430 for support this month. ( nothing sexual/romantic)

Set your boundaries to protect yourself and direct the person making any threats to the appropriate professional support.

Cheers

"Some empathy goes a long way, whether they do it out of self seeking behaviour looking for a bit of validation or reassurnace. Please bear in mind these are human beings not human doings, so people with feelings, and insecurities just like the rest of us. Some kindness and a bit of love goes along way with people...

If they're not getting the attention they're seeking then maybe they should reevaluate there choices to be on this site

Let's not forget what this site is for.... Sex, not politics, love or even friendship.

You wouldn't buy an item from the shop if you didn't want it would you? Or test drive every car?

People need to take rejection or leave

We are not responsible for those we aren't attracted too "

Taking rejection is one thing but can't you see how constant rejection can wear away at a person's self confidence leaving them frustrated and needing to vent? Whenever something in your life doesn't go your way; job, money, family etc. do you not feel the need to vent? How would you feel if someone just told you to take it on the chin and move on?

Essentially... Stop telling people what they can and can't do on here.

The thing is, when people feel the need to announce their departure it smacks of attention seeking. If you're going to leave, then leave!!!

Uh oh... I take rejection pretty hard but....that's what my therapist and support groups are for to help me through it .....but I recognise not everyone has this....or family and friends who can help with this.

It's a tough life. Not telling anyone what to do per se....just a different perspective that they may or may not want to consider... according to their current capability and capacity.

That's you slipping back into work mode again...

I actually expect people to be horrible after what I've been through and what I've seen and heard other people go through so I'm learning and intend to keep learning to protect myself psychologically and physically.

It might be paranoia but it is definitely based on evidence I've been witness too. As my FWB says people suck.

They don't care about other people's struggles. They don't have the capacity to hear it. they are often too wrapped up in their own struggles and as my therapists used to say their mentalization capacity is reduced...they don't have space to think about what others are thinking and why.

When they put mentalization like that I realize people only have so many spoons as they say in the autistic community.

My Dad is 75 and he still lashes out when his capacity is reduced. You have to pick your moment and your words carefully with him.

I think I left my dignity back in 2013 when I had a mental breakdown, unaliving attempt and 6 police officers had to carry me out of my marital flat..I swear back then I only weighed like 150 lbs.

Dignity is not something this neurodivergent gets a lot of.

Rejection, invalidation, abuse, unfairness, judgment and unsupportive comments? Now that I'm an expert of being on the receiving end of.

I just say to people that no one is holding a gun to your head making you stay… and if this place isn’t making you happy or is affecting your mental health then why are you doing it is it’s self destructive…

You don’t have to go… you don’t have to announce it you are going… Just hide the profile and recharge the batteries!

If you want to come back when you are in a better place then cool… if not.. at least you can say you tried and it wasn’t for you

Sounds like dementia management. Well worth learning the skills. I knew a guy who just wouldn't go near his once-loved grandad because he got so angry with him just the once and he (the grandson) couldn't handle it. I heard the old fella died the other day, hope he managed to made the effort in the end. 1) never take it personally 2) be ready to change the subject 3) try and be prepared in advance what to say. pt

I wonder if they announce on any other social media platforms that they are "threatening to leave". I just feel the responses some might get from that kind of status is just sympathy replies and not genuine as they probably wouldn't give the person the time of day usually.
