Use it for social nights at clubs / events. If you goto some of them the site becomes much easier to use over time

3 weeks is no time at all

A lot of single men wait months, if not years for a meet

The solution is not by spending time online, but getting out and meeting real people - social events or clubs

Again, they won't guarantee sex, but they will improve your presence, which may, eventually, lead to sex

For an average bloke on here though, it's a tough ride - there's no easy way of saying that

For every door that opens, 50 or more will probably be shut in your face

Reduce expectations

Get rid of entitlement you might think membership brings

Improve your persona

Dress your shop window

What would it take to make it worth you staying? What are your expectations, are they realistic, how much are you prepared to put in to achieve them?

OP, you've been here a mere 3 weeks. That's no time at all. Patience and perseverance is key. If you wish to 'fast track' your experience in building friendships and connections then perhaps attend a few fab socials (with no expectations).

I've always believed the 3 most important words for success on fab are, effort, patience and consistency.

Once you have mastered those it's pretty straightforward.

Very true. I love chatting about every topic under the sun, and now I have the time for chat, but 98% of time single men try to steer it towards sex chat or pressuring to meet, despite me saying several times from the very beginning I am happy to chat but don’t find them attractive enough to meet in person (harsh, you may think, but 1. It’s the truth and 2. I don’t want to waste anyone’s time.) But hey, we’re on a sex site after all, right? Yeah, but I decide what I want to talk about. So I just stop responding or block.

How do you distinguish between the "decent" and "genuine men" and the "time wasters and the rude lads"?...for they swim in the same bucket.

I reply to all messages I get even if not interested as it's still polite

It depends.....

Arw you willing to put some effort in, like profile writing, going along to clubs/socials? Are you actually interested in swinging?

Can you handle rejection without it affecting your self esteem?

If your here looking for easy sex then no, you'll probably not find it.

When you message most people will check out your profile to see if they are compatible, if it's bare they can't tell and will probably ignore.

Like many, on our couples profile we view the senders profile before opening a message.

If there's nothing to spark interest then the message won't even get read.

The main reason so many people (mainly men) struggle is because they put all their time and energy into trying to write a decent opening message and completely disregard the most important part of their Fab life - a decent profile write up and some good photos.

If you don't put more effort into your profile than your messages you're shooting yourself in the foot. 🤷‍♂️

We use the initial message and profile as a filter.

Would you have taken any notice of your profile when you were on here as a couple.

As you will know couples and single females get plenty of people to choose from,so you need to stand out.

But socials are a good way to meet people.

It takes a long time unfortunately, most people won't interact with new profiles or no varifications, I'd say you'd need to be on for at least several months before you get replies and meets.

It’s important to manage expectations on here. That applies to all forms of dating/ hookup apps. When you start to feel it’s taking its toll on you take a break. I’ve just had the best part of 6 weeks off and I didn’t realise just how much I needed it.

Reduce your expectations.

I only had a couple of meets here in two years.

However I love looking at the photos and videos , and reading The Forum etc.

Replies are nice , but often nothing comes of it.

It's really hard to meet females as they are bombarded with messages.

Put some effort into your profile and make sure you read theres.

Try and engage before asking for sex.

Personally I find there is a shortage of honest, reliable single guys.

Going to clubs is always a great idea but it's not a guarantee of fun. There still needs to be a spark x

It depends partly on luck, having people who find you mutually compatible. And whether you use Fab in conjunction with swinging clubs etc, as it increases your reach. Realistic expectations are what only you can make as well as investing appropriate efforts
