"Having watched the shitty end of the stick that single men often get on here, I can only imagine how that info would get abused. Well I am focusing on single men to meet so I’m not sure about that." And nothing about the OP specified guys. I've shared that couples claiming to be non smokers actually smoke, that I've had unnecessary dramatic messages from women, and more. | |||

"If it were me, I'd invite all and sundry to one of the numerous clubs. Chams comes to mind. I'd then use the club atmosphere to identify which of the possible persons would work for me. And if all the correspondees were unreliable, well Chams is one of those venues that always puts a smile on your face!" Thank you for sharing your fantasy | |||

"In all honestly I'd rather make my own mind up on an individual, rather than taking someone else's opinion.. like everything on here there's 3 sides to every story. Saff" That's definitely true, although if you know/ like/ trust X, X has met Y, and Y is a potential meet for you... their opinion might be valuable. | |||

"In all honestly I'd rather make my own mind up on an individual, rather than taking someone else's opinion.. like everything on here there's 3 sides to every story. Saff" Yes but as Ms Dress says, the non sexual stuff... just to help you decide whether to meet or not??? | |||

"I suppose this is more relative for women given issues such as safety, etc. I personally come to my own conclusions before deciding to meet anyone. Sufficient back and forth messaging is enough to gove an indication if we're compatible and on the same page. Happy to say haven't been wrong yet " Safety is an enormous factor. And it's a thing that happens everywhere and will continue to happen. I also use intuition and my own evidence, but if I have an opinion from my inner circle, absolutely I'll use it. | |||

"I'm interested in meeting X and I know Y has met her, so I ask for his review. Unbeknown to me Y is a possessive fruitloop who is obsessed with X and wants to keep her all for himself. The feedback reads; "she's awful, turned up an hour late, looks 30 years older than her profile pics and her armpits smelt worse than rotten cheese" He then tells X I've been asking all sorts of personal and intimate questions about her. And thus two people's meet has been denied. In theory it's a good idea. In practice, I feel less so.... Two pence spent. " Thank you for sharing. | |||

" Perhaps this is me saying ‘somebody, please be my friend’. " Has your inbox exploded with new 'friends' ? We have quite a large circle of swinging friends. Sometimes we meet as a group, sometimes just us and them. We just don’t talk about anyone else we’ve met. It seems wrong and so indiscreet. We wouldn’t like to be talked about and won’t do it, even when asked. These are people we’ve met in real life. We’re all aware that behind the scenes on Fab, lots of gossip goes on. The thought appals me and is one reason we don’t get involved too much with people on the forums. Codifying that into something a little more formal is even worse and, I imagine, could have legal ramifications. The safety aspect is a bit of a pink kipper. Be responsible for yourself. What happens if I say someone is ok, and he batters you during the meet. Is it my fault? Am I slightly to blame? No thanks.... | |||
