FabSwingers.com forum: Disappointed by someone?

Have you ever been disappointed by someone on here turning out not to be who/what you thought they were? Or by someone changing because of the site or swinging?

Or do you think it's just one of those things that happens and move on?

Does this site, or swinging in general, change people? Can the fora change people?

I've been disappointed, sure. but its a case of shrugging my shoulders saying 'oh well' and moving on.

does swinging, the site....or the fora....change people? possibly. i suppose it depends on the individual and their circumstances, in the case of swinging or the site.

in the case of the fora...im not certain to what degree that changes people and what degree is either showing their true colors or escapism by donning an online persona.

I think that sometimes disappointment comes from unrealistic expectations.

We get caught up in the excitment and horniness of it all and our minds start to run away with the faries lol

Myself for not seeing swinging for what it truly is earlier. If I have been disappointed in people it was because I wore rose tinted glasses for too long.

At the end of that day, many, many more good than bad.

I've been disappointed by a past meet yes as I didn't expect to be thrown out of the house cos of jealously (a learning curve for the couple) I understand to an extent why I was now but at the time it was a bit crap! Overall though for me personally it's given me a massive boost of confidence and I've gained much more than I expected to gain to be honest...made new friends, been confident enough to give clubs a try on my own, turned into a bit of a social butterfly! (I joined when I wasn't in the best of places in my life and had turned into a bit of a social recluse) Yes there are the time wasters, fakes, people that can't take rejection that we've all come across at some point but aside from that it's been a great experience and I'm enjoying it for however long it lasts!

I've only truly been disappointed by one person on here....and even now I'm still not sure it was them disappointing me or me disappointing myself. It is bound to happen at some point with some people. We are all still human. I think it's easier to move on when the people that disappoint you in here aren't part of your everyday life and can easily be avoided. I wouldn't know whether swinging changes people or not. It hasn't really changed me. Just enhanced my life. I very much doubt that making the odd post on a forum is going to greatly change someone. You may well learn something. I don't know anyone on here well enough to say that they have changed our indeed to say that that change is because if swinging or the fora. I think us human beings are more complex than that.

I've been disappointed when meets have gone really well (seemingly), they say they want to meet again then ignore all further messages and at worst block. Its a shame people just can't be honest but that's life on here I guess.

I'm always worried about disappointing people when I meet.

On the upside, I think I look less terrible in person than on my pics.

On the downside, I'm not sure I fully emanate the level of mirth and anarchy that people are dreading.

This is pretty much how I feel. It's one thing to be chatty and do sexy flirty stuff online but it's a completely different thing to do it in person. I have no way of knowing if the online me is the same as the real me and I worry I'll be a total disappointment!

It has certainly given me a sort of quiet confidence to meet new people in real life and clubs etc.

This has also given me a massive boost in the vanilla world but also aware it could've gone the other way if I wasn't open to it.

The site is a reflection of life, of society, of your local community to a degree. Of course, you will meet people who disappoint.

Question is... whose fault is it if anybody's?

The person who feels they have been let down?

The person who has disappointed?

A mismatch of expectations and reality?

Disappointment mainly over free available time, or lack of it. The tiniest amount in others, that is easily brushed aside. I occasionally see some negative stuff in fora, but assume that is natural and part of the online world experience. Dont think the latter changes people though.

...Up on the Downs

I've been disappointed - by people not being as they claimed, people lying, or otherwise behaving rather badly. I tend to be an optimist and have high expectations though.

But then occasionally I have been surprised, even delighted to find people were so much more than I expected in other ways.

I don't think it has changed me so far, but it is conceivable.

There's disappointments in all walks of life, guess that's down to our own expectations. Never been disappointed by anyone on here as my intuition plays a big part in the choices of ppl I meet or befriend. They've never let me down so far....

Wouldn't say this site has changed me, maybe opened my eyes a little, in a good way I may add.

It's certainly changed me Mr liddy, and for the better I would think, it's made me much more tolerant and accepting, before we started swinging I used to be quite homophobic, but now I just accept people for who they are not wether they are gay or not,

And yes I get the irony with Mrs liddy been bi, but I'm my circles that I moved in that's how it was, girl girl cool boy boy blurgh

I've had that a couple of times, it happens but its pretty sad people just can't say they've changed their mind. Blocking after seemingly getting on and arranging a meet is disappointing but you just have to believe you've dodged a bullet and move on.

I have been a little disappointed by one or two people and hugely disappointed by someone, time has healed me though and I have things in perspective.

It did help me see things differently and move on and upwards, I'm grateful for that and going positive aspects to what happened.

I actually have no regrets as the experience hurt but is part of me, and It's behind me now.

I think it's probably almost a normal part of both life and Fab.

To those who are having a hard time, hugs and I hope you come through quickly.

I'd rather be disappointed than disappoint someone, been let down and led on by "genuine" folk only to find they're just playing you off against 20 other guys, it's shite but my conscience is clear, I simply don't have the heart to take the piss with folks feelings, if I say I'm going to meet someone i will and I don't make wild promises before hand as you never truly know how you'll get on until your face to face I think.

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

I have been disappointed that some people I would like to explore physically don't fancy me but it's not the end of the world.

The forum has enabled me to meet a lot of people socially and some have become friends, on here and some out there in the real world. The change has been that as I go to different places now I will look to see who lives there and ask to meet for a meal or drink.

Think this is very true, the most successful people seen to have a sense of fun, be quite curious and keep it light-hearted, I do think you need a fairly thick-skin too though if you're going to really enjoy it as you'll invariably have to face some disappointments and the odd idiot (that term is relative of course) It's key not to let the bad moments overshadow all the good ones.

I have had fun do not get me wrong and met some lovely people.

It was just the severity of today. First I invite a lady to lunch, all agreed place and time etc then its off because ex hubby has hacked her account then I am blocked. After all that I am unblocked and asked if I want to keep the date but when I request a phone call to discuss the meet I am told that she don't speak on the phone. Am I talking to her or hubby in any event she (they) have my phone number. All quite bizarre and the final straw!

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum

If you don't expect too much you'll not be disappointed. Or at least that works for me. If a meet is not what I wanted, I move on. If I get stood up I block, report, and move on. I don't tend to get as rampantly horny as I used to so don't get too worked up about meets. And maybe I've been lucky, but the majority of my meets have been awesome.
