I've heard it's much easier for men to get a meet on Tinder than Fab. I won't touch Tinder though, a step too far for me!

There are just too many women on Tinder looking for a more orthodox relationship. Not for me, although I have a few good nights out of it.

Metsome beautiful women on Tinder and have become good friends with, you have to put in more groundwork to start with, but there’s alot of women looking for FWB on there. All so think there’s more of a fair representation.

I get the impression it’s a place where you say your into a possible relationship, shag em, then swipe left. (Or right,).

Never used Tinder for a few reasons but used POF and Badoo with much more success than Fab. I've met a few fb on both of them over the years where as her on fab most just want to meet a couple times and then move on. Think it's because there's a lot more eye candy on Fab and of course the grass is always greener.

See I think that's the biggest misconception of POF. It's not a dating site. It used to be in its earlier years but it's a hook up site mainly. I've spotted many fabbers on there. You can easily spit them in the laguage they use in their profile. Theres certain fab words/phrases that slip in without realising. As soon as you mention it they quickly block you too. Dead give away.

I expect my profile that I did put a lot of effort and time into do the work for me but it still doesn't work which is why I only meet at clubs.

Bizarrely I've found men on here send more interesting messages than I've ever received on pof (where "hi" seems to be the message of choice and it goes downhill from there). Okay can still get the odd message when online presuming I must be gagging for it and just waiting for any man to offer a shag, but usually get really lovely messages from fabsters.

Tried Tinder but I can’t judge people on a picture, I just can’t. So I only swiped on the profiles with text, which were so infrequent that the Tinder algorithm downgraded me to just showing the tramps and serial killers. Of the rest of the dating sites only OKC has generated interesting contacts and POF is just fab lite with extra timewasters and terrible functionality.

Tbh I think online dating’s heyday has passed. It seems very few people are really up for a relationship on the ‘dating’sites. And FAB is full of hot interesting men who can hold a conversation AND are good at sex, who can resist?

Haven't had much luck on here, Tinder or POF (apart from meeting my ex on POF a few years ago).

I get the feeling that a lot of women treat Tinder like a game, as if they're trying to see how many swipes they get during a day or week. It just seems like a popularity contest. I think I've matched with five people since joining it, four of them never even responded to my message. The fifth one did though but it didn't go anywhere.

POF is half and half for me. I use quite a bit, but a lot of women on there aren't really bothered with it so they don't really put much effort in. Many of them have their Instagram or Snapchat on their profiles because they view it as a game like Tinder. And the few that do message go quiet after a short while.

My approach on there is similar on here, but at least I actually get people looking at my profile on here unlike on there. I can send out ten messages a day on POF and I'll be lucky if I get one view.
