"Maybe you need a dating site not a swinging site? " Yeah! Maybe your right. I was reccomended fab by a friend. I do like the idea of exploring the more swinging side of things but wanted to do this with a regular FB. | |||

"Your status says you had a good egg. I would suggest a more stringent pre meet process and a bit of patience. " Yes, I did meet one nice chap and we may form a friendship. I feel like I couldn't really be anymore stringent as I talk to people a lot and try and ascertain whether we are on the same page and suitably matched. Maybe it need to chalk it up to a bad week. | |||

"Any tips?" Yes: concentrate on the "good egg". You may have had poor odds this week, but Fab didn't let you down totally, just your perception of it was skewed. Chin up Mr ddc | |||

"Well OP, your profile is pretty honest about what you are looking for. Have you done any searching yourself, or are you just sifting through the millions of messages that you most get every day " You hit the nail on the head! I haven't done any sifting. Just been trying to unsuccessfully keep up with my bulging inbox. I thought I was something of an acquired taste but maybe it wouldn't hurt to be a little more proactive in my search. | |||

"I really want to meet someone I connect with but I'm struggling with fab. This week I had four carefully vetted coffee dates as I would really like to meet someone I feel physically and mentally attracted to for kinkery as i find this kind of situation much more appealing. On Monday the chap just stopped contacting me, he logged on but didn't read my messages. On Thursday the chap I met got seriously cagey.. It turned out he knew me from my daughters school. I met him briefly but he revealed he's married which I explicitly state I am not looking for. On Friday another chap who I'd had a lot of conversation with and seemed extremely keen also stopped contacting me. Not the first time I've been stood up from here. I fully understand that sometimes people have to cancel due to personal circumstances but this was more than that. Any tips? I do feel like throwing in the towel. It's been incredibly time consuming and stressful and even though I'm very much craving sex after a six months abstinence I'm wondering if it's worth it. " chin up OP think positively and take matters into your own hand by hiding your profile and only approaching guys who catch your eye. I use this site in very much that way I do a lot of research by using the green arrow next to a name . then I watch for a bit and then I only approach when I think yes they may be what I'm looking for . all the time I'm doing this I am actively giving my true opinions in the forum in the hope of catching someone's eye like I'm hoping someone will catch my eye . | |||

" As others of said perhaps you need to look for what you want not just the the messages you receive. Be fussy about the guys you chat to and be honest in what you are after and I'm sure you will strike gold. Hmm just done my self out of trying my luck with you | |||

"Basically. You're fit as fuck and men are going to lie their way into the 'prize' (getting to bed you!) it's the curse of being a pretty woman since the dawn of time. I suggest you concentrate more on prioritising men from 'real' dating sites where you can make them wait for sex and use this as a backup plan. That's what I found works better. Good luck Hun xx" All genders lie.. sad but true. As for making them wait from real dating sites .. ..I must have missed the memo that says ladies must have sex on here. | |||

Unless it's made clear. A social meet. Women have to make things clear. But not all men, . A small percentage still have respect, and a 'sex site' doesn't change that. | |||

Being on Fab isn't mandatory. Fab is no more than a tool for meeting people, it's not the only one! If you're looking for a kettle you look online: Amazon, eBay...if you can't find what you want you log off and go outdoors to the shops. You don't complain to Google! Likewise, if you're not finding what you want on Fab look elsewhere! Several meets cancelling in the same week suggests you're investing too much time on too many people and it's not working. No doubt the white knights will already have posted telling you it's their loss...you're gorgeous...they'd never let you down...blah blah...but be honest with yourself: when you've worked out what you really want you'll know whether this is the site for you or not. | |||

"I think it depends how often you meet and how many people you talk to I have noticed that everybody who says they are let down a lot either talk to lots of people or meet regular, i suppose it stands to reason the more you talk to the more chances you have of being let down I only meet every three month or so and dont really engage in conversations between meets, but when i am looking i only talk to one person at a time, i dont don't talk to several hoping one will turn out ok and that seems to work for me I find the less people you talk to the more chances you have of finding a good one " My approach too! | |||

"I think the OP had this pretty much nailed, parden the pun, but she is here to swing and have fun, but she wants to find the right guy to do it with. Nothing wrong with that Fab isnt just about fucking the first person you see is it? Keep going, in every walk of life there are losers and there are winners, remember your a winner! There loss Stick with it and you will find the right partner fbuddy whatever you want to call it and when you do wow its gunna be fun Good luck xx" Thank you! Everyone has to start somewhere. | |||

Good luck Hun xx" Wow! High praise indeed from such a beautiful woman. Have previously perved your profile and had a touch of the green eyed monster. You look amazing! Some goals for me right there! I suppose with the lack of face pictures on here there's always going to be a larger element of trickery. I shall aim to be more discerning on here and more straight forward about my intentions on regular dating sites. Not before taking a bit of a break from meet ups I think. | |||

"I think being on a sex site for 3 month's and expecting to meet the man of your dreams is a bit delusional x" Is she looking for the man of her derams though or connection with someone she can trust for sex, rather than the act of sex itself with just anyone for the sake of it? | |||

"I'm looking for something similar but without the swinging element so obviously non-swinging sites are working for me. I've also slowed down a lot, controlled my sex drive (kind of, it's still high but i'm just not fucking anyone straight away now), and taking my time talking to men instead. I think if more men had decent profiles on here it would be a lot easier for women to find what they want as i am approaching guys on other sites who do have a decent enough profile and not waiting around for people to message me and it's more successful (from my end). Good luck, i'm sure you'll find what you want it will just take a while. I spent some time on here pissed off about how crap it was when looking for something more than a fuck. Tried socials and munches, they were ok but the men who fancied me at those tended to be mainly sex focused as well and it put me off them plus i didn't find them physically attractive." That's true. I put a fair amount of effort into writing my profile. Admittedly writing comes very naturally to me and hopefully the reader will get a good sense of what I'm looking for. A lot of the time you are having to gauge whether you'd click with someone from a few cock shots and two sentences (if you're lucky) which is by no means an easy task. | |||

"I think being on a sex site for 3 month's and expecting to meet the man of your dreams is a bit delusional x" I might suggest that you were a bit delusional also if you thought I was on here to meet the man of my dreams but I wouldn't dream of being so rude! I knew it might take some time. Time is not an issue for me. It's more a sense of disillusionment hence the title of the post. | |||

"would agree with a lot of the comments on here about clubs and social. do like a good social myself and after attending social quite often find people message me. now I have a few good friends and people to play with I very rarely send out to many new messages. just tend to meet at clubs and socials" I think I might go along to a BBWs night.
