As a single woman looking for single men, I see a marked difference in behaviour and attitudes when it comes to men on the forum and the men who message me plus the status updates I see.

No, they’re really not.

The forums used to be a place to share thoughts, educate at times, have discussions and have a laugh.

Forumites are generally people that just post on the site, not better or worse than anyone else

I don't think they're a cut above. They're not really lower than others. Just, more likely to like talking about stuff online with a bunch of random people. Sometimes more "connection focused".

I do find it easier to find those with similar views on here though.

I wonder if the answer is different for men and women though, Tea? Generally I don't find men on Fab respectful of women aside from the Forums. My POV anyway. I thought I'd gauge other perspectives.

I don't use any other part of the site so I can't really make a comparison.

I don't send first contact messages and every conversation in the last almost 4 years has been started by others, mostly through something I've said in the forums.

I use them as another filter because over time it really shows people in a different light.

I've met people who have been really nice in person for the hour that we were in the coffee shop but their forum antics show them up as horrendous individuals.

Regular forumites are definitely more clued in as they have read the endless why doesn't anyone message me back threads etc. Plus you have seen some of their personality and sense of humour.

Interesting thought.

I've met maybe one or two people from the forums and some really amazing people who don't visit the forums so I can't say.

Maybe forumites might be more polite as they have an insight into the desires and not of a small sample of people on here. (I think forumites are a minority of the fab population)

No. It can facilitate openings for communication / contact but can also be accompanied by the pitfalls of a public forum. This is especially true for someone who exposes more of themselves.

If I were looking to meet again, I'd likely avoid the forums altogether for this, focusing on organised socials and club visits. Way too much drama and green eye on here.

None of the men I have had the best meets even know that a forum exists. Just one, and that because I showed him the forum and he very, very occasionally posts.

So being a forumite is no guarantee at all.

I know they don't. I think the estimate is about 1-2%? I guess most people either don't know they exist or don't want to chat.

I have a vested interest in saying yes...but I'm not so sure.

I guess it's just the Forum allows us to see a bit more of each other and our personalities rather than one-off messages, but maybe we really are the crème de la crème.

In a word, no.

I think those that post to the forums represent a wide range of site users. Some you like, some you could do with out, some you're attracted to or not, some that are entertaining or not, etc etc

I think the reason the forumites seem more respectful, easier to engage with etc, is because of the sheers amount of folk on the main site who join thinking it's a place for a quick hookup and that everyone is gagging for it. When they find out that isn't the case, some throw the toys out of the pram adding to a poor example of their gender.

Lol I should have excluded the virus forum! Don't think I will venture there again...

although it is interesting to see how different people are in the Lounge vs Politics/Virus.

There was a stat produced many years ago.. less than 1% of the sites users posted in the forum.

On such a small percentage it'd be karazee to base any judgement.

I do think the forum gives chance to hi-light the bad behaviour of (insert gender) giving a perception of mass bad behaviour of (insert gender)

The forums can be interesting to read,but I definitely do not believe regular users are a cut above any one else on here. In fact some are just playing the game with their public persona verses the actual personality in RL and pms.

It's a broad spectrum of different people and it covers a miniscule amount of users on fab over all.

And I think to believe they are a cut above anyone one on here would be naive,but then that where the 'fab elite' rubbish title comes from,and there are plenty who believe they are,or that others are and that there is such a thing on here. Maybe there is but I don't believe in it anyhow and anyone who does is not someone I want to interact with.

The one thing I do like about the forums is the wise variety of views and you get to see people who you may not have seen before. And it can be handy to find people who have similar views on things. I found a great friend through the forums and had some amazing meets,but then I've had great meets from people who don't ever enter here as well.

So I guess no I don't believe anyone on fab is a cut above anyone else.

Well I guess we can conclude that people on the forums like to chat. At least?

In terms of bad behaviour - I don't think you'd need the forums to highlight certain attitudes/behaviour. Just take a look at local updates in any city or any woman's inbox.

Get yourself Platinum membership, apparently it unlocks all the better people, gives you access to the guaranteed top notch shags forums and allows you to view hidden friends only profiles*

some/all of that may not be true...

Indeed!

"Regular forumites are definitely more clued in as they have read the endless why doesn't anyone message me back threads etc. Plus you have seen some of their personality and sense of humour."

This is a good point.

"Only the créme dé la crême post on the Forums (with notable exceptions).

Especially the TVs. Absolutely elite.

Some of them also have elite level jokes, I've found.

The only reason some Men are more respectful on the forums is because the read them and see replies from Women/couples and act accordingly, they also know they will come across you more often and a lot of Women talk!

A lot of the random messages from non forum users generally don't give a fuck as they wont come across you again after sending the message, Just my opinion

Think some forums are brilliant for arranging meets, what's happening in the club scene and without question a brilliant tool for meet ups on swingers holidays.

By and large these forums do not attract experts, just folks who have actual done it or want to !!

We did meet a highly vocal, opinionated forum expert at a club and for some unknown reason they didn't seem so expert or vocal when we introduced ourselves and said we recognised their names from a certain forum thread.

It was as if we had touched them with a cattle prod.

You have your 'pick me' people, hot pics.

The popular ones, these are the ones too busy having the sex stuff to do anything else.

Then the weirdos, the misfits, this is the forums. "

People in the forums seem generally more conversational.

Only issue is that there seems to be a correlation between me posting in the forums and men sending me sausage pics

I like the forums because you get a more rounded idea of a person.

If someone can make me laugh out loud on a thread about biscuts,then they are already above the common man.

"Wondered how different people find the forums compared to the rest of the site? "

Maybe. Based on the responses so far people's experiences are different. I don't find the fora any more friendly than non forum users. If anything quite the reverse. I have a few conversation buddies out of the fora. Quite a few seem to think, as the label of this thread suggests that fora users are better.

"Forumites a cut above"?

Not at all, with under 2% of the site represented there possibly isn't even a fair reflection of those using Fab.

I seem to think there are some regulars who on the female side seem sceptical of integrity on the single male side, that said, I cannot really judge whether this is a direct consequence of fellas sending out poor or even downright rude messages to the ladies in general, let alone those that quite often make their feelings known.

Personally I can't do any more than "be me" and write things as fairly and honestly as I do.

The forums are entertaining with a wide range of topics, serious and some more 'tongue in cheek' and I probably spend more than half my 'Fab time' reading up on diverse matters here and contributing as and when I feel it appropriate and time allows.

Fab without forums would still work, that I am convinced of but I'd feel something was missing if they were to now suddenly cease.

As to whether it actually leads to meeting someone or some others, that remains to be seen for many of us I guess. It doesn't have to but no doubt the forums allow people to become acquainted in a very different way in comparison to private messages.

As such, I enjoy the diversity of the forums and hope I don't offend anybody along the way

, well, not too much

I feel the folk on the forum are much more harsh than the rest of the site. And see themselves as slightly elevated.. mainly because we can construct coherent sentences.

While this may sound critical, I count myself in this category also.

I definitely think that attitude is here. It's partly why I posed the question. But I can't help but like coherent sentences. And full stops. What can I do?

I've no idea where the Forums are, where would I find them?

My observation, some good people, some honest people, some sincere people, some bell ends, some ass lickers, some intelligent people and some half wits, some funny, some helpful and grounded.

Just like all of life, just like everywhere you go.

An eclectic mix.

My forum experience has been good so far.

Make of that what you will.

Find the forum good fun, if you get into the right thread, but also a little clique, guess some know eachother well enough to form those over the years.
