Over the past year or so, has Fab now become far more simply a 'chat site' than one for arranging physical meets?

If I had time I'm sure I could be meeting different people every week.. But I think I would need to employ a PA to deal with all the messages then requesting seconds

I think the site has matured somewhat, meaning that a lot of users have been around for a long time, giving them opportunities to have developed longer term relationships - this has meant that chat can be based around more than just opinion, but also upon knowing some of the people that you're chatting with.

I don't think it's more of a social chit chat site, just that it's evident in a different way, as these relationships have matured.

Also, users have benefited from others experience, which also allows online relationships to have become more meaningful. The nature of why we're here is also different, for example, from an embroidery or car maintenance site, where we're sharing very personal information about ourselves, which does build different types of relationships.

As such, we're a diverse group of people, from all over the place. A fair few have met other regulars and the value of relationships is reflected through the non-meet elements of the site. It's a credit to fab and the users that we're not all here to find the newest shag, for immediate fulfilment 24/7.

I think there is more chat but then again, I also think sometimes people come across as if their life depends on getting a shag. That can be couples desperate to get a different cock or pussy.

Sometimes.

But hey, that's why we signed up

Depends what you use the site for. All of my meets since I joined (3 verified, 2 unverified) have been with people that o don't see actively participating in the forums.

So I use the forums for 'chatting' (and some pm's too) but use other areas of the site for actually meeting.

So to answer your question : yes, and no!

Thank you for the responses - we met on Fab and also had a previous joint profile. We deleted it because we were finding meets much harder to find - people just seemed to want to swap endless messages - which is not for us as it can take over your life. We re-joined but our _iew is that it has largely become a chat site. Perhaps there is a gap in the market for a straightforward 'meeting' site without all the additional 'chat' elements. Thanks again to all - appreciate your _iews

We rarely meet through fab, prefer just going to a club and see what happens. Then, use fab to keep in touch and potentially coordinate our club visits around those we may want to meet.

If we were only meeting outside clubs we'd definately use fab and think it fulfils this requirement well.

Honest answer is that Fab has always been a chat site that is how you arrange meets. Finding like minded people takes time and effort most people on here are not going to respond positively to a "fancy a fuck" requests.

Not at all what we are saying - our profile hopefully shows we are not like that - BUT neither do we want to know what people are having for tea later or that they are taking the dogs for a walk - or you log on and straight away "Hi how are you today" (for the 6th time from the same person who wants to chat all day again).

What sort of timescale would you want to meet from initial first message?

we prefer a couple of messages - swap phone numbers to show genuine - have a chat on phone to arrange a meet. Let's face it you are not REALLY going to know if there is chemistry until you meet anyway?

Have to say that we only get those types of emails from couples who are miles and miles away from us so the chances of us meeting are pretty remote, assume they are keeping up a correspondence in the hope we will travel to their area at some point.

True.

But without chatting I wouldn't know of there was any possibility of chemistry.

The last thing I want to do is turn up to a meet and there be absolutely nothing there.

It's happened.

That's why I chat a fair bit.

But it's never directionless chat. I can tell pretty quickly if it's not going to go anywhere in which case I move on.

I chat a lot before meeting. Not sex chat or what's going to happen on the meet or whatever, but generally trying to suss the person out and decide if it's worth my time meeting them.

If I was part of a couple, then I think it's a different dynamic as you have each other for backup and to bounce off and have fun, but for me the idea of turning up for a 1 on 1 meet with a complete and total stranger I know very little. about at all actually doesn't appeal much to me - though I'm sure it does to some.

I find it better to take off site Wenden you can actually get another form of contact details as lets face it women get loads of messages so to keep convo flowing so female or couple can establish whether they actually like you is long.

That's actually a v good point. We do still meet single men but Emma looks for them when she is in the mood now. Previously it was just unmanageable regarding the number of messages from men. To be fair - we have ALWAYS found single men to be the most reliable.

I wouldn't meet without chatting and getting to know someone online, and then a social - which is very upfront in my profile.

Its my safety, and if people are not happy, then I'm not that desperate to meet that I would go against that.

I've never seen a fab social as a free night out - always pay my own way - often being out of pocket as a non-drinker and going round for round... and a few times been expected to be the free taxi home because I haven't drank.

I'm upfront what is on offer, and if people don't agree, they are free to move on.
