"Because some are really stuck up?" Totally agree. I'm also a couple on here and some couples think they are god! They also don't handle rejection too well either! | |||

"Seems to be a lot enmity to couples on the forum. Why?" I don't think that's the case, just emnity towards those who try to tell others what they should or shouldn't be doing. It's not towards couples specifically, Ive seen single guys get shot down in exactly the same way. Personally *anyone* who acts as an entitled prick or tries to deride others for using the site how they want will get my ire, I'm non descriminatory like that  | |||

"What gets me is the smugness of many male halves The way they speak about other guys at times is abhorrent Now before anyone takes offence, can I just say, it's not all male halves by any means but, if you see a guy being dragged down by a couple, you can bet your bottom dollar 9 times out of 10 it's the guy in the couple that's doing it It is, however, a case of 'there for the grace of God go I' because ,take away the fanny part of your profile and chances are, they'd be in much the same position as those they are deriding or besmirching." I applaud your use of the word besmirching, it's not used nearly enough. | |||

The male half of a couple is a peculiar position to be, Any threads started by a couples profile and most people assume its the Female half talking, In chat rooms Men are continually asking about their partners, "Where are they" When are they coming on chat" and sucking up to them etc Most Men probably think its the Female sending them messages or replying to them, Even though its a swingers site most couples probably do their meets via swingers clubs then on here, I haven't noticed any sort of hostility between singles or couples | |||

"Got to say that I got far more abuse by PM when I was posting on the forum as half of a couple than I ever have with a single maLe profile. Which is interesting as my posting style has never really changed yet people found me more objectionable than they seem to now. Go figure... " I don’t , however I’ve never sent any abuse by pm so it’s kinda pointless saying so really . Sorry about that .  | |||

"Seems there is quite a bit of animosity towards couples. Probably explains why there is so few on the forum, and certainly less than in the past. " I disagree, no more so than is aimed at any other individuals. It may be as well that some couples assume that they are better than other people and take issue with their comments not being taken as venerated text. People are people, generally I react to their words or opinions, never the gender of who's posting nor their relationship status. | |||

Why do you think that is? "Personallly I think the forums have become ever more single focused with the same posters chasing each other. There are less threads that aren’t tail chasing, and therefore less that couples get involved in. We’ve been on the forums for about three years and more than ever, there’s just no engagement with us. | |||

Why do you think that is? "When we started our journey in 2011 there were way less people on fab , but as a % there were more couples than now . Perhaps that’s because swinging has become more mainstream ? Often it’s seen in the news and media and single men will see it as a great opportunity for nsa sex . As for the forum , well I guess that most couples see them the same way as my wife does . Pretty pointless and as dull as dishwater she says . And she makes a fair point
Couples don’t really need the forum as such as they can often get what they are after without using the forum as a tool to facilitate that . Singles are told it’s a good way to interact and learn about the scene .
But that doesn’t explain why there are less now than there used to be does it ? I’m afraid I don’t know the answer . | |||

We’ve been on the forums for about three years and more than ever, there’s just no engagement with us. "That's an interesting theory but couples can post threads too, so it doesn't really bear scrutiny. I disagree that there are fewer couples I just think that there are fewer couples that post regularly and are big characters, conversely there are more singles that do and are. I think that there's a great deal of confirmation bias in your comments, which is fine, Im just finding that a lot of what you're saying is subjective and anecdotal. | |||
