Am I the only person on here that *doesn't* look at the local updates section?

I can't see the point of them. Is it like a Facebook thing, to keep track of what's going on or who uploaded a new cock pic?

Why do you look at local updates?

Yes. No. Maybe.

Probably not, I rarely clock anything around me, vary rarely open a profile and other stuff I feel I’m using Fab differently to users.

I don’t look either. I also learnt that if you do your age range in reverse, you won’t get any local updates.

For example, I’m looking for men between 27-48. But if I changed it too 48-27, I don’t get any updates. I’m not sure how it works with message filters - would men within this age range me able to message me? Who knows. I’ve changed my profile again too 27-48 because it looked a bit weird to me

Yes I've heard about that sort of thing in other areas

I don't see female updates so all mine consist of are endless cock pics it seems, some very unpleasant, so I rarely look!

Nope you aren't the only one.

Mine is normally full of cock pics, the 'I'm horny, need my balls emptied' and 'does anyone fucking meet on here, I'm leaving' status updates.

They certainly know how to make an impression

My local updates of Manchester have people posting from Hull to Liverpool, Chorley, Atherton and Cumbria. If the catchment was any bigger it'd include the people of Brugge.

We never look at the local updates section. After all we are looking for people who share our tastes and have profiles that catch our attention, not merely someone who happens to live on our doorstep.

Having lived in different parts of the country we are very happy travelling for meets, if it is likely to result in a mutually pleasurable evening of debauchery . . .

That's actually pretty clever if it works and still keeps your filters. Kudos.

I look at my local updates a lot of the time I find it useful if there is anything on as some don't always put it on the meet and events page , also some just updated their status to say they are going to a certain club you will see it in local updates you may choose to go after all it does no harm to say hello

I look at my local updates often, mainly to see any new guys who have joined up!

There are always numerous cock pics and moany statuses from women regarding them. It's quite comical.

It's hardly pointless, that accolade can go to 'all updates'.

"Why do you look at local updates?"

Every now and then I have an 'am I missing out on some potentially good chats and/or meets by having draconian filters set?' moment. Perusing local updates normally provides the answer to that question.

I used to use it when I was looking for meets on my own. Was handy to see which local women were actually actively meeting as many don't.

I use them as a kind of filter. Do they come cross as annoying as fuck on their status? Bitching? 12 man BB anal gangbang? Easy adds to a block list.

I do this too, reverse the age range that I'm looking for. It means that no-one that you haven't previously mailed, even if they are within your filters, can mail you.

Mine has a lot of moaning about the site or the women on it. I do like to have a quick flick through to see if anyone has posted an interesting pic or joined though.

Isn't most of this site a Facebook thing? Anyway most of the people who've posted saying they don't see the point of it have at some point, if my memory serves, said this site is for people of all different needs so bit hypocritical of them, if you ask me.

How is it hypocritical? I'm ok with being called a hypocrite though because sometimes I am.

I don't see the point of updates so I'm asking why people like them. I'm always open to have my mind changed about things. I might be missing out on something.

How about it's for people to update people in their area about themselves and for people to see what local people are upto!

I look at it, although I can see why many women don’t.

I’ve either pissed off or got no chance with the women that were local before, I need to know if there are any new ones who would like a fit, well hung bloke but are prepared to compromise on the fitness and well hungness in exchange for a sarcastic sense of humour.
