"Now I'm not one to usually moan....But how do people feel about this site having had a time waster being reported having some kind of punishment, each case on merit of course. Only we had arranged a meet with a single male who had contacted us first, verified 8 times. Arranged a date about 1 month in the future and had the odd mail to confirm. The night before the male confirms via pm and all is good. On the night in question after £60 in babysitting he never logs on to give address or to tell us he can't make it. What a let down. I shall not name him unless you want me to but this takes all the fun out of swinging. ![]() As many people have said before , it would be completely open to abuse. If you report this guy, he might say he did turn up, didn't fancy you and left and you are now reporting him out of spite. How would fabs know who is telling the truth? | |||

Even nailed to check we were still ok the night before to which we replied yes and the address was to be forwarded next day ... then silence... why confirm ? Could of just cancelled an hour before... couldn't he ? | |||

"His loss." His loss? Did you not read the part about spending £60 on a babysitter, getting a parking fine, clearing the schedule, wanting to meet this man. This man has lost absolutely nothing, if he wanted to meet he would have. The loss is always with the person that's been stood up or cancelled on. | |||

"Total mystery. Supposedly the site is full of guys that are keen to meet and post snotty messages or threads about not even getting a reply. Then the other side of the coin, women and couples, us included, have tried in earnest to meet single guys, and often fail. In the words of the great Toyah - it’s a mystery ![]() Just bizarre and very annoying. ![]() | |||

It's bad but you can't rely on a guy arranging a date weeks in advance. | |||

This man has lost absolutely nothing, if he wanted to meet he would have. The loss is always with the person that's been stood up or cancelled on. " I’ve had daytime meets cancelled when I’ve arranged a days childcare, which isn’t cheap, and once booked in then you are charged full rates whether you cancel or not. It’s been for what appear to be genuine reasons, but it is a bit annoying. Same has happened with a hotel meet. Like you say, the other person has lost nothing, but it’s such a waste of cash, especially if it’s too late to arrange something with someone else. | |||

But perhaps a day earlier might be an idea next time. ![]() | |||

"I've not read all of the thread..apologies if it's been said previously Has this happened to you before ? If it has then change your selection criteria... to do the same things over and over again and expect a different result is according to Einstein a definition of insanity.. If this is a first time then your normal selection process must be pretty good.. refine it if possible to avoid a recurrence." So trying to accommodate guys at home is a complete and utter waste of time then. Yep I came to that conclusion too. | |||

"Can I ask for those of you who have had timewasters - is there ever any feeling with these people, however small, that they might be timewasters? I've had a couple and deep down I felt they might not show up. This last happened last week. The guy was hot and I was horny but I had a funny feeling he was a timewaster. Sure enough, he claimed his phone battery had died and his van had broken down. Oddly, my messages asking if we could move the time back by half an hour were delivered to his "dead" phone. ![]() I think you have just answered your own question, gut feelings do matter. From our ow experience, best have a plan b, meet somewhere that can provide a secondary source of entertainment. You'll still be smarting, but not entirely a wasted night. Another example of why my blocked counter idea in the "I wish" thread could be useful. | |||

"£60 to pay babysitter ![]() ![]() ![]() Err....actually no you can't blame him for your parking ticket . He did not park your car you did. So you got stood up, well bigger fool you for paying for a babysitter and buying alcohol when the guy hadn't even given you his address We only have one side of the story here, but one month is a long way in advance to arrange a meet. Most likely the man had gone off the idea or found someone else for sex or even got an FWB or married. But didn't like to say. Maybe you need to change the way you arrange meets. And no Fab admin don't need to investigate this type of thing, frankly this is a free/cheap subscriptions site and who do you think is going to read through all the messages to decide punishment for your "time wasters"? Get over it x | |||

We don't take anything for granted, least of all people, for better or for worse, there's many reasons why some won't turn up. | |||
