Is it possible to find someone on a dating site that has the kinkiness this site offers.

Does anyone have any dating site profiles that are successful for actual dating not just sex?

How hard is it to find someone you’re attracted to, with chemistry who does not live on mars.

Are dating sites even worth trying?

I met my OH on a dating site. He told me about this site. We briefly had a couples profile for a while. We’re still together 4 and a half years later (no longer swinging together but joint agreement for me to have this profile). We’re totally sexually on the same wavelength but we didn’t meet here originally.

I started to use dating sites about eight years ago.

I struck lucky with my first date. She used to go to sex clubs. We saw eachother for a while but it didn't last.

I met my last girlfriend on there a year or so later.

I've also made a few friends along the way.

It's pot luck if you'll find someone that has the same kinks on a normal dating site. That's partly why I'm on here and pretty much not bothered with dating sites for a while.

Years ago when I was single, I (her) was introduced to Fab by a guy on a dating site. I never went on a date or a meet with him but rem_mber him telling me about his 'alternative sex life with couples' and I thought I need to investigate this. So I joined fab to find out for myself and have enjoyed the site ever since

It's not 'sad' to meet people via online sites, its convenient, it suits many people, gives people communication at their finger tips, fits in around your personal life and other commitments. You are introduced via online sites but you do actually turn up in person to go on a date.

Just a thought.... are we all sad just because we are on Fab? Nope not at all

Dating sites are just a modern way of meeting people.

Before the internet there was lonely hearts columns in the local papers.

It's convenient for some people.

I work on my own, so don't get to meet as many people as I used to.

For me, any kind of dating site is just for the introduction of someone that I wouldn't have ever met. Once the date/social has taken place real life returns.

Yes it does seem a bit sad that we can't all meet the old fashioned way, but online stuff isn't such a bad thing.

My last dabble on POF I got messaged by guys from here who recognised my face pics on there from my lips! I gave up in the end.

There didn’t seem to be that many guys genuinely looking to date on there, but to be honest i’m not sure POF is the place to look for a Mills & Boon ending these days.

I’m kind of resigned to not actively looking and if it happens it happens, but my nans voice telling me i’ll never find someone if I don’t put myself out there keeps bloody haunting me.

No. I just think it sad that the internet and dating sites has taken over. I didn't say people that use the sites are sad

just that proper human interaction via more traditional ways has been superseded by tick boxes and matches.

When I met my husband there was no internet involved. We managed to talk about kinks etc and still found our way here.

Why not? If you're meeting someone with a view to dating why wouldn't you chat about all sorts of stuff? Kinks included. That's how I have done it anyway.

I mean the first time you meet them. I wouldn't discuss kinks with someone I just met.

I do agree it's better to meet in person. I don't chat online for ages, I prefer to meet up within a couple of weeks.

Kinkiness is a matter of personal taste and it certainly isn't limited to fab or those who identify as swingers. I met both my previous fwb through dating sites whilst on here I've had only a couple of socials in over 3 and a half years..

same people there as here, a site is just an internet domain, even people here who want sex aren't capable of it and you will find transversely on dating sites some aren't interested in it and you will never know either until you meet that person, its all about the questions you ask and choices you make

I used to think this until I gave it a go... I'd never been out with anyone I didn't know it hadn't met before.... It was weird....

But exciting..

Met my partner on a dating site...

Turns out it eventually gets to a point where everyone you meet in the real world you have either.. dated....has dated your best friend or family m_mber... Is married....

And my friends setting me up with friends who turn out to be idiots... (Not sure what that says about me lol)

So I gave it a go!

Ah yes the good old days of going out to pubs and clubs " on the pull " to be honest I would have loved this technology 25 years ago, would have saved me a fortune lol. Plus i was always a bit shy when it came to chatting to girls so dating apps would have been great back then

I was with my kids 24/7. My friends and I didnt go out that much anyway. I had very few avenues to explore when it came to my options for meeting someone. So I went online.

As for effort...trust me....I put in alot of effort. Online dating is a thing at the moment. Even younger people are at it, rather than meeting people out in a pub/social setting. I asked enough of the younger guys messaging me this Q enough times.

Well I luckily found it all on here. But I've had a bit of experience on dating sites looking for a relationship.

As for dating sites it's a bit of a minefield when your sexual appetites are less than conventional or monogamous. Normally you want to give some information about your self to attract the right people and not waste any time with the wrong people. Sexual appetites are generally assumed to be vanilla on a dating site, but if yours aren't anyone vanilla is no good. But with regard to sex your damned if you do, damned if you don't talk about it. To mention it makes people think or/both:

'Oh they are just a sex fiend only really interested in sex, not good relationship material' (generally how men are viewed for talking about sexual desire on a profile)

'Your a right goer, I'm not really interested in you as a whole but since I know your a goer I will pretend to be interested in a relationship to get you in the sack' (generally a view that affects women who talk about sexual desire on a profile).

Or of course you don't give any insight into sexual desire, what then? Well if you do this then you risk meeting someone and investing loads of time in each other only to find down the line your not sexually compatible and/or they are very against your sexual tastes. Which is sad because it means both of you have wasted your time and one or both of you get hurt. But of course the main thing is not to enter a relationship where you are not totally free and encouraged to express your self sexually.

Personally I'd advise on normal dating the sex aspect is not to be ignored but carried out subtlety. Maybe a mix of a few subtle hints (that people on the same wave length may pick up on) and a bit of subtle probing conversation wise before you get too involved. But its really not easy, that's why in some respects trying to date on the scene on sites like this may be better. Also I know OK Cupid can help match you on sexual compatibility, tastes and attitudes towards sex and monogamy as well as all the other relationship traits you are interested in. People can search for you based on these values and you likewise can search for these values. So when I was using dating sites this impressed me.

I interact with people all day long, all of my jobs are social, public based.

But I don't want to meet up with anyone from my real life.

I've been a naturist for most of my life, alot of folk consider that weird enough, I've had the 'perv' label thrown at me more times than I can count.

I don't want a traditional relationship, I want to meet people on the same wave length as me.

I very much doubt I'd find that with anyone where I live, and even if I did, the worry that if it goes tits up, the repercussions, the potential fall out.

I'd rather avoid that.

Being on here allows me to meet the type of people I want to meet, without all that hassle

Same for me. I had a daughter who needed my attention and time when I wasn’t at work. Going out partying to meet someone was difficult for me at that time. So I used online dating apps. And it worked out really well as I met the love of my life and I most definitely haven’t “ended up alone”. People are so judgemental.

I get your point but equally there are a lot of reasons for online.

As for commitment my ex husband who I was with for 33 years cheated in between kicking the shit out of me. I think I showed plenty of commitment stupidly.

I’m on bumble, and match.com.

I’ve been on pof and tinder but I’m not bothering with those right now....

Over the last five years I’ve been on well over 100 dates. Mixed results.

All kinds of stories I could tell you....

I had a “vanilla” date on Monday evening and unfortunately it wasn’t great.

He was attractive, looked like his pictures, but boring, and really not my type.

The guys I’ve met off here so far.... I’d say around forty per cent of them wanted to continue and move into a more romantic kind of relationship. That’s something that I was only really interested in/ felt was possible with one of them.

There’s lots of people, in my experience, that are using this site and open to meeting someone special.

He was attractive, looked like his pictures, but boring, and really not my type.

There’s lots of people, in my experience, that are using this site and open to meeting someone special. "

Yes I get you’re point.

I was on POF a while but I seemed to only get very old men messaging me with no teeth or the odd weirdo.

On here I rarely meet anyone for more than a social. Because I fully admit I want more than 1 night with a guy.

Someone said the other day that from good sex a relationship can blossom or not I guess.

I wonder if I’m setting myself up to fail by holding everyone at arms length.

And this is me baring my soul ok so I would appreciate any shit comments be kept for elsewhere.

"I’m on bumble, and match.com.

I’ve been on pof and tinder but I’m not bothering with those right now....

Over the last five years I’ve been on well over 100 dates. Mixed results.

That last part wasn’t aimed at you by the way, just for the not so nice remarks that people post.

I think it’s important not to go into any meeting/date with a guy off here expecting anything else than fun, sex, laughter, good company.... but I think it’s totally possible that if you click with someone else who is single, more could develop....

personally, I swop phone numbers after a good amount of messages on here. Then always speak on the phone to get a better idea of their personality and tone.... is the conversation flowing ?

I almost always do a quick video chat.

Then meet for a social drink somewhere public.

Take it from there.

That might take two weeks or two days.

Yes done that a few times, I usually find a reason not to meet them again. Maybe I’m just not ready.

Life hey it’s ups and downs ... god love it
