It’s terrible. Time and fuel costs wasted.

Happens way more than it should do.

Only no shows. Everybody's definition of a timewaster seems to be different though.

Oh yes.

Click "report user" on the left corner.

Choose "arranged meet but did not turn up"

Why do you think it’s only men who are time wasters?

Not far

It’s hard enough for men to get a meet so I’ve no idea why they would bottle it and not show.

I did. Messaged them. Spoke to them. Went to their house. No one home. No response to messages. Did everything I could do.

Didn’t just turn up blind without no prior contact.

Go to his/her profile.

Click "report user" on the left corner.

Choose "arranged meet but did not turn up""

And that is the only reason you can report them for, not stopping a chat or going quiet before meeting etc.

My definition of a timewaster:

Someone who arranged and confirmed a meet, but didn't turn up, without informing the other party. (up to the agreed time)

Every time I go to meet a new man I think "Is this the one who is going to be a no show, or has sent me on a wild goose chase".

Not often as I can’t meet often, but it just seems to be happening more times than not. Oh well. Think I might just meet at clubs instead.

What happens when you report them? Do they get a message from admin?

I’ve reported that in the past. Clearly not used their own photos when FaceTimed to confirm who they are. Or my fave, really old photos of them.

We turned up at a pub once and we’re stood next to who we were meeting and didn’t recognise them! Lol I asked how old they were (profile stated 45 & 47) and when they said 55 &57 (and obviously had had hard paper rounds) I pointed out that’s not what’s on fab and their reply was ‘well everyone lies on Fab’ I do wonder how successful people are when they lie about something so basic....

Nor me, if it’s having an adverse effect on me, then I can’t say I’ve noticed.

No, they make it harder for themselves and make the decent ones stand out more if anything.

It is simple really ain’t it. But I know folks lower the age or up the age to get into age brackets.

"Tis a pity we can’t name and shame eh!"

I can see that point of view, but it is fraught with danger for us all.

Report and block is the best way, I was reported for being a time waster by a couple I had been chatting to who invited me to a party …. In Plymouth starting three hours after the invite (I am at least 7 hours drive away on a good day) and when I declined reported me for timewasting !

it would be easy to name and shame when needed but just as easy to lie !

I think those that have read my post have taken this in totally the wrong way so I'll clarify.

Due to the amount of time wasters, dreamers and fakes that tend to be men, makes the single guy profile one to be viewed with suspension, I know this as I'm on here with my wife as a couple and the amount of unreliable men that have wasted our time leave you with a bad taste in your mouth and very wary of the next contact you get.

Just because you've not felt any adverse effect from this doesn't meant it doesn't happen. If people were more realistic and honest then the whole experience for everyone would be better. I hope this clarifies it for those that took my post as just moaning. Thanks

I have to be honest. I'm surprised they exist.

It's difficult to get that click and meet so when getting the opportunity why pass it up?

Don’t let him put you off OP. There is always good ones and bad ones. Otherwise the world would not have a balance And just to add I would not waste time with you
