Dating sites vs Fab

I dont know how anyone elses experiences are but I find more guys on here willing to make meets social experiences than on Dating sites. So far I havent found as single guy on my dating sites that treat you like a person and you can talk to and have a fun experience with on every level like the way I have on Fab.

I know a lot of people critise the members that come on here to find love but im starting to think its the better option as one your honest about the lifestyle from the start, two your more likely to have the shared interest of swinging as a couple, and three the relationship develops from the natural chemistry/friendship that develops. What are other peopkes thoughts and experiences of Fab vs Dating sites?

I prefer the honesty and attitude and personalities of most people in here than on dating sites personally

I think you've nailed it there. I have had the same experiences as you, although having said that, even though this site should be more honest, there are still an awful lot of people willing to lie to get what they want out of a situation. But anyway, dating sites seem to be bad in comparison to Fab, it's a shame really as would much rather find a relationship than potentially have a string of one-offs.

never been on a dating sites and having seen many fall for each other in here, it's cool but honesty from the offset is wise.

but some people will still try and manipulate others, probably no different to a dating site.

generally ive found guys will say anything if they think it will get them somewhere..

sadly not all intentions of kind gestures from what on the surface looks like an honest man are genuine

Yup, I was astonished when I arrived too, lots of social invitations compared to the free dating sites full of young men after sex. The good subscriptions sites contains more people that genuinely want to date.

I've been to many socials and have met way more compatible people on here than the dating site I was on. Although not looking for a date, I wouldn't turn it down should the opportunity arise. At least you'd be singing from the same song sheet sexually and let's face it, many who are on here without their partners knowledge are doing so beacuse they're not sexually matched anymore. I'm sure many on here have met their current partners who they swing with.

I think that FAB is far more up front than some dating sites.

I am lucky enough to travel with my work so forming a relationship can be a little tedious. FAB presents an answer in so far as there are ladies and couples who seek recreational fun with nice classy intelligent and ever so modest chaps!!!

I joined pof last week. I got several numbers in like three days. It's much easier for guys on pof. I had three dates in three nights. Only problem is, women on there are not looking for fun. Only serious relationship. Other problem is pof thrown me off site already. So many rules about having proper profile, pics, no cut and paste messages etc. Plus at 27, I can not chat to women above 40 and below 21. That sucks

I agree - I did qualify it by saying 'good' subscriptions sites, and they do vary with time, go in and out of fashion.

to be fair POF is a website for dating/looking for a potential life partner

they removed the 'intimate encounter' option to make it more credible as a website to find lurveeee

maybe because you lie and say anything to get a shag doesnt mean everyone is as fake and dishonest as you in here ! Always remember you reap what you sow and with your attitude I doubt you have many friends !

Yes, I was going to say - it does seem to be all wonderfully open compared to the dating sites, but beware OP, there are a lot of wolves in sheeps clothing here too, it's just that the script is different.

Every guy i ever spoke with on pof was so not full of BS, they admitted from the start they wanted to fuck my brains out, after they'd come to mine for coffee.... Funny enough i don't think their wives would make me coffee if i was to go round theirs.

pf in my opinion is not a dating site, it's a shagging site

I think they are different, perhaps in what users focus on. People increase qualities they think a long term partner wants on dating sites, here it is a bit more emphasis on physical attributes and sexual powers. Neither may be that rooted in truth. The former may be more pretentious, and so a fab meet can deliver people who are more down to earth and lacking in fake qualities. There is a lovely 'take me as I am' air on fab meets that most dates dont deliver.

I seem to have the exact opposite problem to you OP (Original poster). On dating sites like Badoo i get a lot of offers to meet up, a few have turned into nsa type relationships. Lets just say not had the same luck here.
