Bucks/London/Oxford

Single men particularly often wonder what they’re doing wrong but a quick look at my “See who’s near” shows why the odds are stacked against us. Already excluding those I’ve blocked, within 4 miles:

58 (85%) are ‘single’ males

7 (10%) are MF couples

3 (4%) are women.

That’s without considering their filters based on age, sexuality, etc, or their level of interest based on your profile and pics. Furthermore, they might not be looking for a man at all.

So your probability of finding a suitable partner here is minimal.

But it can work

Well, your 1 meet against my 0 is proof.

I had my first account since last July.

I was told my old account without verification is ruining my chances.

Made a shiny new one and it's absolutely the same.

Changed my bio and photos like 150 times.

Don't even bother to message anymore.

Gave up trying and it's actually makes me feel better about myself.

Hanging out on the forum is better, than watching the big fat zeros I guess.

Hardly anybody replied or contacted me in a 20 mile radius.

Always the same people online since I registered pretty much.

Heard all the reasons why not, whoever replied or contacted.

" Mrs don't like your face"

" I do groups, so bring another male"

" You're not experienced in XY kink"

" Good girth, but I want 8"+ "

" Too hairy, not tall, smoker

" Don't like accents"

" White British only"

" Too fat"

***MODERATOR! Didn't quote from messages. Just describing them with similar words. Please don't ruin my only day off in 7 days. Thanks!****

I'm the only one on the forum within 90 miles usually.

So on a social probably it would be just "me in the corner".

I might just save that tiny self esteem I have left.

I just can't have another kick when I'm already laying on the floor.

Not whinging, just being realistic.

Can't afford to be naive.

I'm horny, but okay.

Don't want to be horny and depressed.

Started my Fab journey as a couple, we played for about five years both on Fab and around the club scene.

Met a great guy several times sat at the bar of a long gone Manchester club (IYKYK), connected on Fab although we never played.

One week he notched up three verifications so next time I saw him at the bar, well I had to ask!

His view, an absolute numbers game, he’d meet people at clubs, connect on Fab and then tell Jane that he knew Peter, he’d tell Peter he’d met Paul and then tell Janet he knew Sarah and her pal and so on; in effect, networking on a biblical scale!

He never posted specific verifications, his view, some wouldn’t play with him if they knew he’d played with Anna from Kirkby; you could see his verification numbers but not the detail, he didn’t want to limit his numbers by giving details!

He almost never sent unsolicited messages, in his view, a total waste of time as a single guy; he married a fellow Fabster and they play as a couple nowadays.

Personally, I don’t want to put a shift in, it doesn’t mean that much to me nowadays but successful singles guys are less than 1% of Fab and it’s all about who they know in my experience.

Good luck chaps

"It wouldn't make a difference if there were 1,000 other men in my area or just me, a lady I might be interested in will either like me or she won't. Other men have nothing to do with my appeal"

Have to agree with this.

I've asked these questions numerous times on here when the numbers issue and ratios are discussed.

I've never once viewed anything I do on here as a competition because who am I competing against?

All the other men online?

All men in NI?

All the 58 year old men in NI?

All the 58 year old men in my local area?

In the same way that the mantra about women holding all the power on here is only applicable if you make it so, why do so many men view the fab female population as the Borg?

If you are approaching them as a collective it's never going to work.

If you approach a woman as an individual and as an equal rather than standing at the foot of her pedestal waving frantically it's surprising how much less stressful the whole experience is.

There are many younger, fitter and better endowed men on here but I didn't sign up until I was 52 and apart from the very start when I was finding my feet in a new environment, I've never had a problem having conversations and meeting on here.

Mainly because I don't look at numbers and I don't consider any other man on here as competition.

It's not even about geography because I live in a much smaller country with no swingers clubs so every engagement on here for the first few years was through direct messaging.

Most of the barriers to success on here are self built and that success or lack of is also subjective and relative to individual expectation.

Whilst this is totally true, where it does make a difference, is in being seen. If a lady is getting 100 messages a day, then she might not even get to see yours before just bulk deleting everything.

Ultimately though, you can only control your own stuff and not the number of people on the site, so what Horny-DJ says is SPOT ON

“Don’t tell me the odds”

None of that really matters, I’ve been on here for ten years, found several relationships, many people to meet and a hat full of friends. I’m not rich, well endowed or classically handsome. Half of the ‘thing’ with this site is working out how to meet those that you will connect with. If you focus on who’s near and statistics then you’re doing it wrong

Which means you don't show on the who's near when people use it to gauge these numbers.

Who's near looks for those with who's near on and recently online. Men tend to spend more time on fab. And men are less likely to worry about the weirdos who try to triangulate your location from the who's near and leave it tirn3d on.

That said, there's certainly more active men than women on here.

But, as has been said before, it doesn't matter how many others there are 'competing' when 95% of them are just flinging unwanted noodles into the inbox of any viable orifice

I heard on a podcast some time ago referencing various studies taken from multiple sources, thinktanks etc, who'd compiled some troubling research.

In the modern dating market, the ratios were something like

80% of the women are attracted to the top 20% of the men

Which leaves

80% of the men are left to pursue 20% of the women

There were also some incredibly dark stats, like nearly half of modern men are single, and 30% have never even had sex or been in a relationship at all.

It's not the sole cause, but notice how society is demonstrably becoming ever more distrusting, fragmented and hostile? It's all connected.

Oh, and welcome to the site!

See I don't fire cock pics in every direction. I send normal nice messages in the hope someone might be interested.

From my perspective, it's just frustrating and sometimes confidence damaging to feel like you work hard at your appearance but still it never seems to be enough for the people you message, because I'm not 6ft whatever,covered in tattoos with model looks.

It's a first world problem I know but sites like this really bring out negative feelings in guys...most of which just can't articulate that frustration overly well.

Or perhaps when people admit they feel a certain way they get immediately gaslight and told there some wanking zombie incel.

Here’s the trick

If you go to play poker, do you get upset that you can’t afford to sit at the £1000 a hand tables? Or do you just go to the tables you can play at?

That’s life. Fab isn’t suited for most guys

You’ll do far better on the apps

And even better in real life, where there’s far more than just looks

If somethings effecting your mental health, don’t continue. Go where it’s more suited for you.

I don't actually need to see a dick pic to know when a guy is wandering into my inbox with his dick in hand. It's more about the thinking with the penis. Though the outright dick pics are definitively worse of course.

You seem to be very concerned with your looks. I don't care how tall someone is, but I care if they care about how tall they are. Tattoos can be beautiful, hideous, non existent ot anywhere in between, but they're irrelevant to me. It's more about the person being comfortable in their own skin, however they've shaped and altered it over their lifetime, for me at least.

Some people are all about the aesthetics. I just don't choose to engage with those people

"May the odds be ever in your favour.

We never have "who's near" switched on. It cuts down on the horny meet now messages and the creepy I saw you in Tesco messages. I don't know about other couples but I suspect it's similar for a lot of women.

J

Which means you don't show on the who's near when people use it to gauge these numbers.

Who's near looks for those with who's near on and recently online. Men tend to spend more time on fab. And men are less likely to worry about the weirdos who try to triangulate your location from the who's near and leave it tirn3d on.

That said, there's certainly more active men than women on here.

But, as has been said before, it doesn't matter how many others there are 'competing' when 95% of them are just flinging unwanted noodles into the inbox of any viable orifice "

Being in my thirties, female, and generally not interested in dating anyone younger than me, obviously.

But that doesn't mean that every woman born a few years after me is absolutely wired to only care about that 666 nonsense.

I'm not 6ft, covered in tatts or hung like a horse. I'm almost 60 years old with 7 years experience of this "lifestyle" and zero previous experience of anything even close to this website.

I have standards and preferences that I'm not prepared to compromise on so that immediately reduces my audience but yet despite that I've had 4 single profiles with a combined total of 60+ veries and I've met some amazing women just by being me including a very special friend with whom I also have a couples profile.

It’s not a competition though. Viewing it as such is dehumanising for yourself and if someone treats you like that, then walk. If I ever feel like I’m in a competition with anyone for someone’s attention, I leave. People are not prizes.

If it’s the curse of online interactions, then avoid the online aspect; meet people in person. There are so many options out there beyond banging your head against the same wall and getting the same results

Our couples profile has had, on occasion, hundreds of messages a day. If my wife uploads pics it goes bananas, to the point you can’t really answer everything. One time a few years ago, we broke the mobile website number counter. The flip side of that though is missing out, because of the absolute volume of messages…. It’s just not possible to sit through everybody and weigh up the pros and cons, and she hates it like that.

My singles profile… it’s lucky if it gets a message a day. Or if anybody replies at all to my messages I send out. Because as you say, the odds are stacked against you, and in dealing with what my couples profile does but the opposite.

Your best bet is to get to clubs. I look like a novelty condom at best, a crash test dummy at worst, but I always have fun when I visit a club, mostly because things level out a lot more. People can see you, get a feel for you, and it’s just all so much easier. Thats because the risk to reward ratio changes. Online… anybody could be anybody. You don’t know who is faking what, or in what way. In person? You can see what you’re getting into.

In 10 odd years of FABing, it’s not failed my wife or I yet being this way.

Agreed. You either find someone attractive or you don't, no need to get hung up on the odds. All it means is that single men do have to accept that the sheer numbers of us mean single women and couples are going to be inundated with messages, so be patient and don't kick off if you don't get a reply you like (or a reply at all).

May the odds be forever in your favour…

Also remember a lot of people are in stealth mode too so won’t show up on who’s near.

It’s not the numbers that will affect you - it’s not having a decent profile, pics and sending good messages - those 3 need to be in place first but you start analysing the numbers as it doesn’t matter how many people you think you are competing against if your shop isn’t in order.

"I heard on a podcast some time ago referencing various studies taken from multiple sources, thinktanks etc, who'd compiled some troubling research.

In the modern dating market, the ratios were something like

80% of the women are attracted to the top 20% of the men

Which leaves

80% of the men are left to pursue 20% of the women

There were also some incredibly dark stats, like nearly half of modern men are single, and 30% have never even had sex or been in a relationship at all.

It's not the sole cause, but notice how society is demonstrably becoming ever more distrusting, fragmented and hostile? It's all connected.

From my perspective, it's just frustrating and sometimes confidence damaging to feel like you work hard at your appearance but still it never seems to be enough for the people you message, because I'm not 6ft whatever,covered in tattoos with model looks.

It's a first world problem I know but sites like this really bring out negative feelings in guys...most of which just can't articulate that frustration overly well.

You seem to be very concerned with your looks. I don't care how tall someone is, but I care if they care about how tall they are.

You are absolutely right. You have to be a model looking , 6ft + and white, else you got minimum chance here. I have been here for 1 year and no luck. Just one coffee meet. Most people don't reply to messages ( that's because they get a lot of messages) and very few polite ones will reject politely. That's because they get a lot of messages, and that's because there are so many men here. And then it just comes down to demand and supply as you rightly pointed out. People want to be polite here and state that -"oh height and looks doesn't matter", but the bare truth is numbers don't lie.

"Started my Fab journey as a couple, we played for about five years both on Fab and around the club scene.

Met a great guy several times sat at the bar of a long gone Manchester club (IYKYK), connected on Fab although we never played.

One week he notched up three verifications so next time I saw him at the bar, well I had to ask!

His view, an absolute numbers game, he’d meet people at clubs, connect on Fab and then tell Jane that he knew Peter, he’d tell Peter he’d met Paul and then tell Janet he knew Sarah and her pal and so on; in effect, networking on a biblical scale!

He never posted specific verifications, his view, some wouldn’t play with him if they knew he’d played with Anna from Kirkby; you could see his verification numbers but not the detail, he didn’t want to limit his numbers by giving details!

He almost never sent unsolicited messages, in his view, a total waste of time as a single guy; he married a fellow Fabster and they play as a couple nowadays.

Personally, I don’t want to put a shift in, it doesn’t mean that much to me nowadays but successful singles guys are less than 1% of Fab and it’s all about who they know in my experience.

Good luck chaps "

This

Most people we meet including couples is through networking and recommendations from friends. I think we haven't met anyone through fab for something like 6/7 years now.

Fab is great for organising and finding good club nights but its not somewhere we would look to meet anyone.

"See I don't fire cock pics in every direction. I send normal nice messages in the hope someone might be interested.

From my perspective, it's just frustrating and sometimes confidence damaging to feel like you work hard at your appearance but still it never seems to be enough for the people you message, because I'm not 6ft whatever,covered in tattoos with model looks.

It's a first world problem I know but sites like this really bring out negative feelings in guys...most of which just can't articulate that frustration overly well.

I don't actually need to see a dick pic to know when a guy is wandering into my inbox with his dick in hand. It's more about the thinking with the penis. Though the outright dick pics are definitively worse of course.

One thing to remember is that this is a swinging site, not a sex site - it's subtle difference that often gets overlooked. If you want meets then engage in the social side too - find a local social event and go along and actually talk to people, build connections (without expectation of it leading anywhere)... you'll be amazed how it will change your experience on here.

To the guys who are moaning about not getting a meet or a chance.

A lot of people will look at your profile after they receive a message, before they’ve opened the message.

Here’s what we do…if your profile is minimal, we’ll delete your message. If there’s more cock pics than any other pics - delete.

Only after your profile and pics have been viewed and it’s not an instant delete, will your message be read.

So if you want to give yourself a chance - have your profile and pics set up, selling you as best you can.

I was a single guy on here and I’m not tall, have the best body but I was able to take pics and try and sell myself as well as I could. I was respectful and I never sent blanket messages out.

There’s no winning formula but if you give yourself the best chance you’ll do better and your FAB experience will be ultimately happier.

No-one has said looks don't matter at all, just that they aren't everything. You could be literal underwear model but if you are as dull as rocks or outright unpleasant to people then you won't meet anyone. Similarly you could be the nicest person in the world, but it there is no spark or mutual attraction then its not likely to happen...

It's a balance of both, and you shouldn't expect one to mask the lack of the other.

I think this site has run it course now, it needs a total revamp and a new way of stopping fake profiles from being made daily, in one small area 15 new profiles where made in one day, now I doubt that amount of people from a that small area would be joining this site in such a quick succession, coupes profiles need to be looked into as many are not couples now but just the male now running the page.

What are you after though that you don’t already know?

Height, build, attractiveness all play a role, obviously

On a site that’s mainly about sex, physical things play more of a role that in real life. Obviously

People will claim none of those things matter until they’re blue in the face, for whatever reason. You know that’s not true

Beyond that, what can you change? Nothing really except how you act or maybe hitting the gym or getting a tattoo

That’s fair enough then, just seemed like you were after something or making a point. Didn’t realise it wad just venting into the void.

It's really not. I've been passed over for people who aren't gym goers before and that's fine. People like different body types and people are comfortable BEING different body types, you'll never be everyone's cup of tea. If you go to the gym for anyone other than yourself then that's maybe something you should look at...

I go for myself and my mental well-being, always have done...and I'm more sports than weights focused these days

What are you after though that you don’t already know?

Height, build, attractiveness all play a role, obviously

On a site that’s mainly about sex, physical things play more of a role that in real life. Obviously

People will claim none of those things matter until they’re blue in the face, for whatever reason. You know that’s not true

Beyond that, what can you change? Nothing really except how you act or maybe hitting the gym or getting a tattoo

Not sure what you’re actually after? Reassurance?

"Absolute facts, most women won't punch below most men will

So, most women have standards and stick to their preferences, and most men don't?

Is it any wonder many women want to avoid the any hole is goal mentality

Hayyy I don't make the rules haa but ye mostly men don't care where they put their dicks

I can think of one former work colleague who didn't care and any hole was a goal.

Apart from that I've never met another man with that attitude. "

You've never met another man who would sleep with someone he sees as not as attractive as himself?? Really

"I think this site has run it course now, it needs a total revamp and a new way of stopping fake profiles from being made daily, in one small area 15 new profiles where made in one day, now I doubt that amount of people from a that small area would be joining this site in such a quick succession, coupes profiles need to be looked into as many are not couples now but just the male now running the page.

All you need is common sense. Fakes are easy to spot. There is a reason most people on the scene use this site and thats because its still the best "

This site has massively gone down hill

Exactly, the amount saying oh go to socials, are the same people on here calling me negative, a wank zombie, entitled, shit profile, dull, blocking me in some cases haha.

Why would I want to socialize with these type of people in real life.

Yes really. It's not difficult to grasp.

All my male friends and work colleagues are very fussy but don't objectify women either.

Some of my female work colleagues would quite happily ride anything with a cock.

Quite a few people have kindly offered some great advice, tips and viewpoints in this thread and it's disappointing to read some of the under-appreciated responses.

If we're talking about the lack of success, being the 'underdog' and not getting much joy: I am not tall, I'm not caucasian, I have an average cock, I've lost ALL my hair from an illness, I am of average build/frame, I'm geeky with spectacles and with less-than-average looks, I'm possibly outmoded because I have no tattoos and piercings, I'm not young... comparatively speaking I'm over the hill, half way down and picking up speed. I'm not a swinger - 'mostly vanilla in fact.

This ^ isn't some self-deprecating diatribe or 'woe is me'; it's just my way to give some perspective and demonstrate that it IS possible to meet, socialise and 'play' against all odds.

To be honest, if you started going to socials and clubs, you’d be a lot more successful on here

But honestly, why? As a single guy you’ll pay 2-3x as much a woman and couples to get into clubs and once inside you’ll be treated like a rabid dog that can’t control himself because that’s the attitude towards single guys in clubs

Having been to a few socials, they’re better than clubs but I always found them more of a friend Meetup than socials. If you’d not already in the group you won’t feel exactly welcomed right away, still better then clubs though

Or you could just go on dates via apps and go out on a Saturday night and pull.

Take your pick

Depends how you use it. Swinging is primarily a couples activity and for swinging couples this site is excellent. Single women on the scene will also find it extremely useful because a lot of couples are looking for them.

Men will always struggle on here so their best bet is to go to clubs and meet people that way and use fab for networking from that.

"May the odds be ever in your favour.

We never have "who's near" switched on. It cuts down on the horny meet now messages and the creepy I saw you in Tesco messages. I don't know about other couples but I suspect it's similar for a lot of women.

J"

Yep. I have never used it as I'm not interested in any on the day meet stuff.

"Absolute facts, most women won't punch below most men will

Is it any wonder many women want to avoid the any hole is goal mentality

I thought looks had nothing to do with it...isn't that what's I've been told continuously on this thread.

Yet simultaneously you hear all the time about women's standards....now I don't begrudge that but you can't also simultaneously claim looks are irrelevant

No-one has said looks don't matter at all, just that they aren't everything. You could be literal underwear model but if you are as dull as rocks or outright unpleasant to people then you won't meet anyone. Similarly you could be the nicest person in the world, but it there is no spark or mutual attraction then its not likely to happen...

It's a balance of both, and you shouldn't expect one to mask the lack of the other.

"

This! It's a balance AND it's about personal preferences. Who I find boring another woman may find hilarious.

Same for physical attributes- what some women like, others won't.

We are all different.

And what's meant for you is looking for you, so try and make it easy for them to find you.
