"When you guys are talking to someone on fab and are thinking of meeting do you still talk to others or do you make them the priority or not ? Personally I like to prioritise the person/people I’m meeting." Always a priority for me. I do not think I would handle multiples; I don’t want multiples either. Just one high value person individual is good for me.. .. unless they come as part of a pair!?!?   
Ho hum….  | |||

Outside of that it would be disingenuous of us to imply that they're a priority and we don't kid ourselves that they prioritise us. Don't make yourself vulnerable | |||

Personally between career, trustee work, chairmanship and home life (married&kids) i personally do not want too many drains on my focus or energy’s, so i prioritise. If responding… that means you’re my priority. " I get the busy life at home and professionally. I live a very busy life too. However, I strongly live by the view that we are all busy. Too busy to go to the gym, too busy to put away the washing that’s sat for three days after being folded, too busy to do the honey do list that’s miles long, too busy to send that email, but in the too busy of life, we can all make time for what we choose to make time for. I’ve never been to busy, even after a 20 hour flight, to connect with someone because I've chosen to make them a priority. Similarly, there are those than can not stretch themselves across multiple people, and others that can. There’s no right or wrong way, do what suits you. | |||

"When you guys are talking to someone on fab and are thinking of meeting do you still talk to others or do you make them the priority or not ? Personally I like to prioritise the person/people I’m meeting." I used to meet a fair bit and to be honest there wasn't much overlap in messages. Those interested in meeting make it fairly clear, those wanting to get to know you or just wanting a chat do just that, but if it got within a few days of a meet they'd have my number so there wouldn't be much chat on here. People do try to multi task though which I think is reason why you sometimes get one word replies that don't answer what you might have sent. Granted they might not like you, but it deads any conv for me. | |||

"I've never had a no show but I've been a Plan B a couple of times. One woman used to complain on the forums about being stood up all the time. I arranged to meet her and texted to confirm the night before. She claimed to have no memory of ever agreeing to meet me and she couldn't possibly have done as she had a number of vanilla issues to deal with. The next day she had a shiny new verification from a popular forum couple. Another woman told me on the day that she was running late due to work issues and if I hadn't heard from her by the time I was leaving work she wouldn't be able to make it. Heard nothing until I was half way home and she messaged to say she was just finishing and it was too late to meet. The next day she posted 2 new verifications. One from a lunchtime meet the day before and one which actually named the coffee shop we were supposed to meet in and said how it had been arranged the week before. If I'm not plan A I'm not interested. I don't play games and have no time for those who do.

But only if they match your effort. if one person is prioritising you and you are putting effort into multiple people you are simply not putting the same amount of effort as the other person is Oh I absolutely am. Besides, how can you tell the person you “prioritise” isn’t talking to multiple people too? there are many signs responding in a timely manner if I send a message and your online for the next 40 mins and don’t respond then your attention is obviously somewhere else. If I’m sending lengthy messages and your sending one word answers that’s another sign.not being the first person to message the next day there are so many signs You have very high expectations. Are you looking for a relationship? absolutely not but I’m not on here to have my body used I want someone to appreciate what I have to offer not just use me for a fuck I think we all want that, well most of us. I don't think people necessarily need to demonstrate that you're a priority in terms of making sure they quickly answer your messages or contact you first each day to show that they're not just using your body. if I visually see that they are on and not messaging then going off and coming back on again I can only take that at face value which is that they aren’t that interested so I won’t be either "You need to play the fab game according to the rules that work for you. If that's a red flag for you (and it is for many men and women) fair enough. | |||

I guess no feelings fuckbuddies would be the only way, I would accept being a option, but he would have to accept being an option as well, for instance if he was chatting up a lady at a social and she left him at the end of the night and he came asking me, if I wanted to hook up, I wouldn't get all outraged cos he didn't ask me first, as it's only sex right | |||

"I can prioritise more then one person but it's less than a handful because I wish to (and do so) afford them my undivided attention.

This means that any potential meets will occur between 'now' or within six months...or not at all, because conversations fizzle out, geographical disparities impede the opportunity or personal reasons (extraneous to Fab) are to blame.

"When I was meeting the only time I expected to be someone's priority was when I was physically with them. Apart from that they did wat they liked with who they liked as did I." if that works for you then that’s fine but I don’t like the thought of myself putting my all into meeting someone for them to have a long list of people they are keeping at the ready just in case if I go to meet with someone and they bail I won’t just brag the next on the list because I don’t have a list or want one | |||

"I'm not a swinger so it's different for me I think. I'm not interested in being one of many, nor having many. For one; I'd find myself overstretched and unable to have quality conversations with many. I'd rather skip them than have dull, lacklustre exchanges. I also don't find it enjoyable - I like when I can give attention and energy to another and have it reciprocated. I really value when people give me their time, take an active interest in me. That doesn't mean I won't enjoy talking to multiple people socially but I can't do it for anything deeper. It reminds me of a conversation I had recently - someone told me that they're going to talk to everyone and I really don't want to be spoken to because I'm another person to add to your list. I like genuine interest in me. I do understand that most on this site will have differing views to this and that's cool." that’s my outlook to | |||

"I've never had a no show but I've been a Plan B a couple of times. One woman used to complain on the forums about being stood up all the time. I arranged to meet her and texted to confirm the night before. She claimed to have no memory of ever agreeing to meet me and she couldn't possibly have done as she had a number of vanilla issues to deal with. The next day she had a shiny new verification from a popular forum couple. Another woman told me on the day that she was running late due to work issues and if I hadn't heard from her by the time I was leaving work she wouldn't be able to make it. Heard nothing until I was half way home and she messaged to say she was just finishing and it was too late to meet. The next day she posted 2 new verifications. One from a lunchtime meet the day before and one which actually named the coffee shop we were supposed to meet in and said how it had been arranged the week before. If I'm not plan A I'm not interested. I don't play games and have no time for those who do. mate you hit the nail on the head I will never be a option for someone I know what I bring to the table "I've had similar, have msgd me to meet but then post a looking to meet that all and sundry can see and respond to so I could have been cancelled on last minute | |||

It doesn't matter if someone has the body of a greek god, if they get weird and clingy and needy it's a massive turn off. or is that until you really like someone and they don’t like you back It's rare it happens that way. But when it does, I accept that they're not as into me as I am into them. I don't have to try and protect my ego with weird lies about them. But, that's a massive detour from the actual comment." is it a massive detour tho? Like you just said it rarely happens that way so your obviously used to being the priority from your view you have guys chasing you not the other way round so you put effort into the ones you like and not as much into the others but the day you really like someone and they don’t like you then you might wish you was there priority | |||

"I've never had a no show but I've been a Plan B a couple of times. One woman used to complain on the forums about being stood up all the time. I arranged to meet her and texted to confirm the night before. She claimed to have no memory of ever agreeing to meet me and she couldn't possibly have done as she had a number of vanilla issues to deal with. The next day she had a shiny new verification from a popular forum couple. Another woman told me on the day that she was running late due to work issues and if I hadn't heard from her by the time I was leaving work she wouldn't be able to make it. Heard nothing until I was half way home and she messaged to say she was just finishing and it was too late to meet. The next day she posted 2 new verifications. One from a lunchtime meet the day before and one which actually named the coffee shop we were supposed to meet in and said how it had been arranged the week before. If I'm not plan A I'm not interested. I don't play games and have no time for those who do. mate you hit the nail on the head I will never be a option for someone I know what I bring to the table
I've had similar, have msgd me to meet but then post a looking to meet that all and sundry can see and respond to so I could have been cancelled on last minute"exactly not great is it | |||

"you just shown how it’s a complete mine field for some men you give someone too much your weird creepy not enough your just going to shut it down I wish you the best will get far with that mindset "... Isn't that the actual case for the majority of humans though? If someone is always coming on too strong they're likely to face a lot of rejection. If someone is always too timid or uninvested, ditto. If you're incapable of reading the room and the energy that's there to work with you're going to struggle with any prolonged human interaction. It's not about being mean or it being a minefield. It's just how humans actually interact with each other. | |||

"Could you not make multiple people a priority? Some can do this. Absolutely. But only if they match your effort. if one person is prioritising you and you are putting effort into multiple people you are simply not putting the same amount of effort as the other person is Oh I absolutely am. Besides, how can you tell the person you “prioritise” isn’t talking to multiple people too? there are many signs responding in a timely manner if I send a message and your online for the next 40 mins and don’t respond then your attention is obviously somewhere else. If I’m sending lengthy messages and your sending one word answers that’s another sign.not being the first person to message the next day there are so many signs " I can frequently be online, receive a message but not reply for an hour or several. Messages take brain power, I like to put thought into them and effort into the conversation. Mindless scrolling or perusing the forum etc does not and I like that bit of escapism sometimes. If there’s a pressing need to message someone more quickly then I will but otherwise a delayed reply doesn’t mean they’re not a priority or that they’re one of many just by default! … I stay loosely in touch with people I meet between times, because if I’m meeting them it’s because I think they’re fundamentally nice people and ones I can chat to, so why wouldn’t I, but it may not be daily, life’s busy. I do ensure they have my focus and are prioritised in the run up to a meet though. I never assume I’m the only person they’re talking to or meeting, tbh nor would I want to be. I don’t want to feel I *have* to see someone because I’m the only option and therefore feel obligated, I want to see them because I actually want to! But life is busy and my chances to meet can be limited so it also removes the pressure if there’s others tbh. Doesn’t mean they won’t be my priority when I’m free though, quite the opposite. And I do like/expect that courtesy in return. | |||

It was apparent from the first contact that we're not compatible people and have very different ideals of how things should go. That's fine. There's people that are more suited to your way and people that are more suited to mine, and neither of them are wrong, but they are also likely incompatible with each other. You've made it pretty clear you don't want to continue to engage with people who are giving a very different energy level to the connection than you are, why is me saying that I do the same thing being problematic? | |||

Because this is a tiny part of our life, we pop on and off and only occasionally look for someone to have some fun with. If we were looking to find someone to be part of our relationship then we’d start making people a priority, but for a bit of fun now and again, not so much. | |||
