Is fab turning into a dating site?

Sometimes the only difference is instead of normal profile pics, you get to see some nudity (if they even got pics up)

Is the demand for single women so high on here that they just get to make ridiculous requests in order to meet or...?

I don’t think a woman having preferences is her having a ridiculous request ?

Should they accept lower standards just for the blokes benefit

It makes them feel better about having hook up sex if they buy or make dinner first.

What do you class as a ridiculous request? Blokes are free to have requests / preferences too…

My standards would be the same whether I was looking on Fab/ Pof / Tinder etc

I don't mind going for a social to get to know someone. I think it's great but some ladies wanting to get wined and dined and specify high end restaurants and things like that. I'm not trying to date you!!

If I'm looking on those kinds of sites it means I'm looking to date someone or I would make it clear that I'm only interested in a bit of fun

My efforts definitely wouldn't be the same though

Prefences are fine. Everyone has them

A ridiculous request for example would be if I'm demanding the lady shows up dressed in designer and has to spend 100s of £ for a one off meet

Another thing is stalking verifications for example. If it's a shag site why does it matter so much who I've been with in the past? Unless someone's been with someone who's the same sex and claims to be straight in their bio

I was on here as a single guy before I met Mrs Misfit on here. We both had no intentions of dating or relationships. But looking for hot sex and maybe to team up within the lifestyle occasionally.

For me this site was always far more about my intrest in swinging, the swinging scene and meeting other women, couples and groups intrested in the lifestyle and its activities.

As to strait forward causal hook ups this site not so much. For that I'd find far more success on POF, Tinder and OK Cupid. Which is logical because a lot of the women out there looking for no strings sex or a fwb thing aren't swingers and thus this site does not appeal to them. So in my experience if its just no strings causal sex you're looking for this site may not be the most fruitful for you.

Also the whole premises of the started post sounds like a whole case of sour Grapes, which never helped anyone.

Everyone is free to set their own standards and expectations, the same as you are free to set yours. For some people it won’t matter whether they’re on Fab/Pof, they’ll still expect a social/date/drinks etc. If you can’t/don’t want to meet those standards, you are free to look elsewhere too

Fab is a swingers site, the others a dating site.

I'm guessing because there's a certain level of anonymity here is why so many men join but I would say it's far from the best place to be looking for a hook up, there's plenty of places for that.

I'm more than happy to get to know someone in a social setting. That's not the issue. But necessarily as a date setting

I don’t make requests. If someone isn’t into the same things as me or wants the same things then I don’t meet them. Hence I rarely meet. Some people can’t seem to get that not everyone thinks like them or is looking for the same thing as them.

The difference for me would be if I'm on a dating site I'm probably hoping to meet a lady more than once and probably aiming for it to turn into something more serious

On here I know that there's a high probability that I'll never see them again so I won't be taking them Hakkasan for a social!

That's fair and understandable. I feel the same. I'm talking about what people call verification trail when people want to see who you've met and then see who those people met and so on. Kinda stalking

"Pof is actually a shag site just on here u know ppl are after sex with the right ppl on there they don't have the balls to say lol "

To be fair as a single guy on POF I was perfectly straight forward with what I was looking for and found other women looking for the same (and some open to both dating or no strings adult company). Generally other single parents like me who hadn't got the desire, time or energy for dating but still had a desire for adult company. Some openly on their profile and some you had to read a little between the lines (for obvious reasons of any woman who's ever been on a dating site). Same on Tinder and OK Cupid I found to be far more open and non-monogamy and kink freindly.

Most women know the difference between a decent bloke with open intentions and someone with disingenuous intentions. Naturally I'd avoid profiles clearly solely looking to date. I had a fair bit of success, had some wonderful experiences and met some cool women over that period.

😬 Well I’d say that’s more of a ‘you’ issue rather than a ‘women of fab expecting too much’ issue. Perhaps you should consider why you would accept different/lower standards for someone you only wanted to have sex with as opposed to someone you wanted to date. A lot of women (and a lot of men) won’t settle regardless of whether it’s for sex or dating…

You would expect the same amount of effort from someone that wants to have a relationship with you as someone that's looking for a one off casual meet?

If that is true, why did Bumble implode? If plenty of women messaged first, that dating site would have thrived on the "women message first" policy. It didn't, they had to change it and now the share prices of the company are on par with toilet paper.

Like it or not, Women are marketers, men are sales men. Most women wait to be approached by an acceptable man who sells himself to her.

Sure they'll give hints that they are intrested but women handle rejection a lot differently than men.

And you can argue the opposite all you like but it won't make my and many other mens lived reality amy less true.

I like this as people are willing to chat and be friendly without the need to hook up.. if there is a naughty hook up then thats a bonus for me as i never expect this on any meet.

Pretty much every meet I've had as a result of messaging has been because someone got in touch with me first. I send a first message a few times a year at best and usually get a reply if I do.

Just my lived experience with all those lazy women

I'm guessing because there's a certain level of anonymity here is why so many men join but I would say it's far from the best place to be looking for a hook up, there's plenty of places for that.

Mrs

The difference for me would be if I'm on a dating site I'm probably hoping to meet a lady more than once and probably aiming for it to turn into something more serious

On here I know that there's a high probability that I'll never see them again so I won't be taking them Hakkasan for a social!"

You speak and come across as this is a hook up site.its a swinging site and there's a massive social side to it so yes ppl have preferences and can be choosy maybe u need to look at it different x

"They both have the same results , lazy women expecting messages to come in so they can either poo poo them or just straight up ignore them without ever messaging first

I disagree with that. Plenty women message first and if they choose not to reply you should kind of take the hint

If that is true, why did Bumble implode? If plenty of women messaged first, that dating site would have thrived on the "women message first" policy. It didn't, they had to change it and now the share prices of the company are on par with toilet paper.

Like it or not, Women are marketers, men are sales men. Most women wait to be approached by an acceptable man who sells himself to her.

Sure they'll give hints that they are intrested but women handle rejection a lot differently than men.

And you can argue the opposite all you like but it won't make my and many other mens lived reality amy less true.

Most men don't get chased..they have to do the chasing.

"

I've never used bumble so I'm not sure but let's say for example if most of the members on there are below average then why would they get messages?

Do you message people you don't like and aren't attracted to??

"Is fab turning into a dating site?

Sometimes the only difference is instead of normal profile pics, you get to see some nudity (if they even got pics up)

Is the demand for single women so high on here that they just get to make ridiculous requests in order to meet or...?"

I find that I am the one receiving ridiculous requests from men or couples.

Like they demand I wear high heels, short skirts, shave my pussy, wear stockings ect

I have never made a request for a man to dress a certain way or shave his hairy bollocks.

The social side of it is the best part about swinging for me personally. I've met and made great friends on here.

You can be choosy if you like but knowing that more than likely I won't be meeting someone more than once and it would just be casual then expecting to go on a £500 social meet for me its a ridiculous request

To be honest OP, I wish Fab would become a matrimonial site. I cannot even begin to comprehend the amount of crumpet that is worthy of my betrothal. My concubines have seen better days.

I agree with that. That’s a ridiculous amount of money and they are probably not genuine

Reality is that not many women are open to NSA sex in comparison to men. Therefore the ratios between men and women on here are simply ridiculous!

Sexual women are in massive demand, they know that, and therefore they use it to their advantage, and why not?

Us guys often do the same on dating sites. We know that women are crying out for good men and commitment, so we make them work for it - players."

I get that the demand for single women is high and they have plenty of options. And if they choose to use that as advantage then fine. If they're bold enough to make such requests it means that there are men willing to do that i suppose

I'm all for spoiling and treating the woman I'm with. But to be honest I wouldn't do that for someone I'm meeting for a 1st date because I'm still getting to know them and I wouldn't do it for someone on here also even if sex is in the cards after

In my 16 years I've found myself a wide, a partner and several FWB's. Not once has anyone expected a £500 social meet.

Maybe my standards are slipping. 🤷‍♂️

It's a swingers site OP. Some use it for one off random hook ups. Some for regular meets. And some for dates.

As always, if what someone suggests doesn't match what you want, then move on. It's honestly not that complicated. 🤔🤔

I’m not really sure I understand what your issue is… if someone says they expect you to wine and dine them at an expensive restaurant or wear expensive clothes and you do not wish to do that, then just don’t do it or don’t engage with them. I would find that type of request unreasonable whether it was Fab or on any other typical dating site, regardless of whether it was for the intention of long term dating or a hook up/ONS. I’ll go as I am (with my usual high standards for myself and them) and wouldn’t bow to anyone’s requests unless they suited me.

"Pof is actually a shag site just on here u know ppl are after sex with the right ppl on there they don't have the balls to say lol

Another thing is stalking verifications for example. If it's a shag site why does it matter so much who I've been with in the past? Unless someone's been with someone who's the same sex and claims to be straight in their bio"

I have a veri from a woman but I'm 100% straight. She is someone I've known for years. If that veri put someone off meeting me then they weren't for me anyway, problem solved 🤣
