How do you use fab to find meets

Do you wait for people to contact you

Message first and look for what you want

Mix of both

We never message first and reply to less than 5% of messages received. Of the the few we reply to they lead to nothing. Our few meets have started at clubs.

I do enjoy doing little flirty things to fish for a delicious snacky snack of a man.

Drop a dainty hankie and see which kind gent will take the hint and offer to sweep a girl off her feet.

I'm a big fan of a manly man doing manly-man, sexy, hornificated things in ways that don't require me to be a doormat.

Feel like I'm mostly messaged or winked by couples as opposed to single ladies.

In more than 20 years, I can honestly say I have not had one meet ever as a result of either sending or receiving a message on fab.

For me, fab serves 3 purposes.

1) Passing time on the forums.

2) Imagery to keep my eyes lubricated.

3) Info about clubs and club events.

I am not shy to visit clubs and that is where I have the most success at getting laid, getting sucked off and even meeting sociable, friendly people!

Other than that, I've met several people through dating stuff from Dateline in the 1980's, through POF in the 2000s.

Oh, and I met many people through actually going out to pubs, general clubs, walks and even by simply visiting a nuddy beach.

Hope That Helps

I do neither now.

I find a lot of the men who contact me expect me to be online wank fodder. I don't indulge but just use the block button.

Mainly here now to quietly watch and laugh at what goes on in the forums.

Hopefully will find a quality kink friend, but not betting on it from this site though.

Just to add from my previous response - as I didn't read the opening post properly - this applies for whatever reason in general terms, and not necessarily just looking for 'meets'.

Both, but more often proactive. For finding folks, though, nothing beats clubbing. Messaging just can't compete with face-to-face conversation to gauge compatibility.

Haven't instigated or messaged a single woman on here yet, and don't plan to. Don't even respond to winks.

If someone's likes me enough to message, they will. I'm not going to send a thoughtful message anymore, just for it to either be deleted, or lost among the dozens of three word messages from horny men.

Often when I am proactive and message a guy they don’t believe it’s true - can’t win!

I assumed single women didn’t have to do much in the way of instigating things, but I suppose Sod’s Law says if there’s 100 people, the 99 you DON’T want will be the ones bugging you

I know what you mean! I've had a lot of messages from a different app I use lately and a fair number of them have been fake or scamners. So when I've gotten genuine ones, I've been super cautious which has put some genuine ladies off. I still have to question why some ladies prefer Shrek over Brad Pitt!
