Think of it as a bullshit competition. You don’t have to engage with it as it’s only one part of the community, but you definitely don’t need to take it seriously

It's a pity when people see themselves as having such a lack of anything positive to offer that they need to make stuff up. The only way to genuinely resolve that is to get out and grab life by the balls, challenge yourself, get a job that gives you the feel-good factor. Help others less fortunate or just achieve something! It gives you plenty to talk about without having to feel like you're bragging, but enables you to be a great person to know. We can all do that........and while you're at it be a version of you that you like, which people will get positive vibes from, both on Fab and in the rest of your life! Feeling good about yourself is better than any drug!!

So why would you be surprised that a stranger would lie on Fab?

I'm not saying everyone lies all the time about everything... Just to accept it as a reality that folk may not always be telling the complete truth.

Whilst I agree that the deceptions that can exist on sites like this are many and varied I wonder if we don’t, collectively breed such behaviour.

This site has changed as has the lifestyle and as such as we have become more confident or assured in what we desire. We have created lists of what people must be, what they must look like and how they must behave. We have set strict rules on what their situation must be, and demand proof at every turn

Now there is nothing wrong with this but in doing so we have created numerous barriers. It is these barriers that breed the lies as people seek to negotiate their way round them.

For example consider a profile written that says. “Looking for uninhibited sexual fun, must accommodate” only one lie could be told. Now consider “looking for single male between 30-40, must accommodate, prefer regular play partner, must feel the same, fit and healthy, intelligent and sensual, good body and manhood”, quite a lot of lies could be told.

The argument would be “well I am clear what I want”, yes this is true but we may actually breed deception. The response to the first profile could be “hi, I can accommodate, I’m married but get the house to myself occasionally”, you could then delete or block as the messenger had no need to lie as your profile did not demand it, whereas responding to the second scenario, depending on their situation they are more likely to lie and thus deceive you into meeting then.

Difficult one for sure. But perhaps sometimes the way we write our desires or profiles actually encourages deception.

Perhaps the more you know, the less you show is the right way forward.

Long post, waffles and I am not claiming I am right, just a musing, nothing more.

All over the place! Northwesr, , Southwest

People here lie as much as they do everywhere else i've found. It's unfortunate you've become jaded to the point of immediately mistrusting anything messaged your way Not everything people tell you are lies and i'm sure a number of genuine compliments come your way. It's separating the chaff from the wheat that becomes challenging. If your experience here in rooted in constant suspicion, how can it be a good one?

A lie can break a heart

And can tear you apart

A lie so grievous can place you in the dock

But most on FAB tell porkies about the size of their cock

A lie can bring about a pregnant hiatus

Particularly about ones marital status

There are little white lies of no concern

And those when told in hell you will burn

But on FAB there are no lies to be told

Moreover manipulation of the truth if I maybe so bold

But in this plastic hall in which we tread

About lies sufficient has been said

So take everything with a pinch of salt

So the resultant situation is not your fault

Like this! No one has a perfect life. We're all jealous to some degree when we see some rich, beautiful, famous clothes-horse. Apart from being stood up or ghosted by the odd single woman or couple I don't think I've encountered a single woman who appeared to be anything less than themselves.

I see what you're saying and in part I agree but I think you're looking in the wrong direction. The emphasis isn't on the deceived to make life easier, it should be on the deceiver to be less so.

People are perfectly entitled to ask for what they want, it 'should be' that people are honest, although of course people will always lie where sex is involved.

Regarding the OP in general, the thought process for many on many topics involving deceit is "everyone else does it, so why shouldn't I?"

The perception that others are 'stacking the deck' by lying, leads others to do the same. It's all a question of where an individual draws the line at white lies, deceit, lying by omission, etc.

Maybe his battery died and then the battery fairy that had seen him being nice to the poor destitute frozen battery factory workers gave him a new battery whilst he slept .....awwwwww

For clarity; someone you haven’t met claims to have been in bed whilst you see him as being online - not exactly crime of the century, why get bent out of shape? There are far bigger fibs flying around Planet Fab.

Just ask. If you’re concerned say how comes you were on line when you told me you’d gone to bed ? I would if I was bothered by it.

This

Also, if I want to have a break from chatting then I'll be having a nosey on the forum instead. If someone starts getting narky about stuff like that, then they soon find themselves blocked.

Exactly. I’d say about one in ten times that I log on I look at messages. I just go on the forums. Hardly ever look at messages. I probably look really ignorant but I honestly forget to look.

Bingo, We have a winner

OP, Set filters, Block everyone & then use the site as you wish. You’ve hidden your profile, Take a break for a while if you need to, come back if you want to.

We did & starting to get jaded now again now, but the site isn’t going to change so you either have to change the way you use it, change your expectations or leave really.

Best Wishes

I too do this... I use the mobile desktop rather than the app, so sometimes when I'm just opening Chrome to check a bus/cinema timetable, order groceries, or other such humdrum things, my browser will open on Fab because it's the last thing I viewed the day before and I forgot to hit 'home' before I closed the browser.

I've had those annoying 'but you were online!' accusations in the past where someone got tetchy with me for not replying immediately to messages... It never ends well.

Minor, We have three phones, two laptops & two tablets, At anytime at least one is usually logged on. I was on last night in bed (insomnia) & my phone went flat while looking at the forum so O slung it on the floor & tried to go back to sleep.

I guess I stayed logged on all night then?

It's unfortunate you've become jaded to the point of immediately mistrusting anything messaged your way Not everything people tell you are lies and i'm sure a number of genuine compliments come your way. It's separating the chaff from the wheat that becomes challenging. If your experience here in rooted in constant suspicion, how can it be a good one? "

I'd agree with this. Take some time to find the positive again on here - good people do exist. If I feel particularly disheartened, I take a break. That helps.

But yes lots do lie here, as they do everyehere. I am not very good at the trust things these days. It has to be earned"

My thoughts exactly but they are not universal thoughts. I got told I wasn't compatible with someone because I couldn't trust him (as a conscious decision). We'd only exchanged some messages over a spate of an hour.

If this is your current frame of mind, perhaps it would be better for you to take a time out and step back for a bit. Time really does wonders to help heal some wounds. Regardless of what type of relationship you're looking for here, your inability to trust and focus on inconsequential details won't bring you any positive results i'm afraid

This in no way is true of the way people dress. Everyone has a right to express themselves without fear of assault and again, I find it abhorrent that you draw a parallel analogy. That’s me out.

You want our undivided attention on Fab, Ok then you need to stop talking & meet us because we’ve learnt that until that happens assume it never will & that probably applies ten fold for single guys.

People do seem to get hung up on minor details! I've chatted to some great people here, who then suddenly flip out on an insignificant comment, or if taken too long to reply, or minor details on my profile.

I think a lot of people can't manage non-exclusivity well, or the fact that people have real lives outside of Fab. If that's the case, then Fab sadly isn't for you. But I do think the few genuine people here deserve the chance of more face-to-face meets to establish relationships/friendships.

Regretting posting this massively.

Find it hard to get my head around why people lie on a site such as this when ultimately we are all here because we something in particular.

I get where decadent is coming from though, if you list you specifics then people may lie to get round them. And I get that.

I'd much rather someone says they have other playmates and says when they're free than have someone say they are free and don't have others and make up excuses that are just really unbelievable and expect me to buy it. . I dont want to hear what people think I want to hear. I'd rather the honesty. At least I know where I am with that. Not looking for a relationship so I have no need to be bugged many things.

Its just a case of if someone lies or isn't honest about the small tiny unimportant things then what else do they lie about or leave out. Like the tiny detail I posted about. Unimportant but could make you wonder.

Say someone lies about their age, again unimportant in reality, but doesn't actually tell you their actual age for months on end, doesn't that just display a lie that they can keep and continue to do so and when you did find out, youre not bothered by the age but you're bothered by the fact they kept it hidden so long.

This.

People lie, they just do, especially when the libido gets involved. I’ve never been bothered by it. Lies usually come from a place of insecurity or fear, a feeling like you have to present as something ‘other’ than yourself to please someone else. So I take the view that I should provide an environment where people feel secure enough not to need to lie to me and where they know they won’t be judged for having lied to me, and it usually eventually stops. Getting angry and upset about it is just counterproductive and reinforces their motive for deceptive behaviour. Realise that it is usually little to do with you and let it go.

I'm aware that i'm cynical, but it amazes me how many people on here are so sensitive - and why they thought swinging would be/is good for them if they're constantly getting upset by it. There have been numerous threads like this, and I've also come across it in private chats.

Taking a pragmatic view, and in my opinion only, with particular reference to singles (and discounting those that state explicitly that they're looking for a monogamous relationship), the majority will be looking for multiple play partners. This is my mindset, and I presume that anyone i'm chatting to or meeting is doing the same with others - how can I be upset if that is the anticipated behaviour? Even if i'm meeting someone regularly, unless we were to ever have a discussion and agree that we would only meet each other, the presumption would still be there that they are meeting others.

Now before anyone jumps on me, i'm not saying in any way that it is wrong for people to be sensitive, but in my opinion this perhaps isn't the best environment to be in if you're repeatedly being upset by the behaviour of others using the site in the manner that they wish to use it in order to achieve their own desired outcome.

O.P.

I've said at least twice this morning that i'm going for a walk.

I haven't been for a walk BUT It wasn't a lie.

I sat down to use the computer and have yet another coffee.

I'll do what the fuck I want and i'm not answerable to any stranger who puts 2 with 2 and makes 7 ...........

And I am not referring to you. How on earth could I be.

"Regretting posting this massively.

Find it hard to get my head around why people lie on a site such as this when ultimately we are all here because we something in particular.

I get where decadent is coming from though, if you list you specifics then people may lie to get round them. And I get that.

I'd much rather someone says they have other playmates and says when they're free than have someone say they are free and don't have others and make up excuses that are just really unbelievable and expect me to buy it. . I dont want to hear what people think I want to hear. I'd rather the honesty. At least I know where I am with that. Not looking for a relationship so I have no need to be bugged many things.

Its just a case of if someone lies or isn't honest about the small tiny unimportant things then what else do they lie about or leave out. Like the tiny detail I posted about. Unimportant but could make you wonder.

Say someone lies about their age, again unimportant in reality, but doesn't actually tell you their actual age for months on end, doesn't that just display a lie that they can keep and continue to do so and when you did find out, youre not bothered by the age but you're bothered by the fact they kept it hidden so long.

"

Don't feel bad for posting. From your other posts I get the impression you've had a bit of a rough time with someone who you thought you could trust. When you go through something like like and realise what you thought you had was just lies it distorts your view on things for a while. It can make you obsess on the little lies as you are hesitant to get caught out again. Be kind to yourself, take some time out if you need it and use this place however you want to xx

I don't want a relationship. I dont want exclusivity either. I expect anyone I take an interest in or vice versa to have other playmates but I want is that they are honest about it.

The recent thing where I got lied to etc.....he wanted exclusive, said all sorts of things and didn't like me me going near anyone else at all. Yet he was fucking someone else the whole time and had a couples profile with her on here.

I'd just like the same honesty back as I give not games or lies or someone controlling me.

Yet I've been called a bunny boiler and control freak on here. I'll unhide my profile so you can see what it says

"Best I leave I think. "

Don't leave. Just take everything with pinch of salt on here. Learn what you want and meet the people you want. Don't get hung up on small details like people saying they went to bed. I often say goodnight to people on here and Could still be on here an hour later usually in the forums or chatting. And guys I meet and chat to are the same they are often online when they say they are heading to bed it's not a big deal as far as I'm concerned. As for the guys who tell me I'm the sexiest thing they have ever seen etc that just makes me laugh I see myself every morning I know I am far from model material. But you know I have fun with the people I meet and I have made some great friends. Just use here the way you want to and if you are genuinely unhappy here and it is causing you stress then hide your profile and take a break for a bit x

Don't feel bad for posting, but maybe reconsider what you're looking for and be open from the outset?

If this was a truly honest site, then everyone will be publicly posting their real names, faces and locations too. Ergo, lying/discretion behaviour is inate here and you just have to see past that. People will open up when trust is built - and that works both ways.

As for age, if someone did lie, but you got on well nonetheless and didn't tell you until after 6months of lots of mutual fun. Then potentially, that's 6months you may have missed out on if the person was immediately disregarded due to their true age.

Trust is as important on here as anywhere else. Put the whole thing into context and you have every right to feel bad. It won't be of much comfort in the short term I know, ut there, are people on here with integrity, decency and honesty. Carry on being beautiful - it means you win and the person who hurt you loses ultimately.

Wow - just managed to read the entire thread.

I think that the OP used this as an example... To be fair, if I was happily chatting to somebody, and in the middle of a conversation, then they said they are off to bed but seen them online later, I would also question it. Of course there could be a gazillion explanations. But she's allowed to question it, yes?

But I think the OP's point is, lies in general, and this obviously stemmed from being messed about in the past.

We all need to develop slightly thicker skin on Fab, but the question I have for you all, are we actually allowed to be human?

Just an observation....

He sounds like a rotten person and I can absolutely understand why you’re having trouble trusting people as a result. I’m with you, I would be just as upset in your situation - I think the hypocrisy and controlling behaviour would upset me even more than the dishonesty. Myself, I take the view that pretty much everyone I talk to is probably lying about something, and I just have to hope it’s nothing potentially dangerous. There is only one person I’ve chosen to trust completely, and I know if he breaks that trust I’ll be devastated. So I really do understand where you’re coming from and I don’t think you’re a bunny boiler or a control freak. But I think there’s a risk that worrying about small things could lead you down that path - I say that because I have had to be careful about that in the past.

OP there's now't wrong with your profile, personally i'd lose your location and put something real, to me it may give off a certain signal but if that's the signal you want to give off then fair enough.

There was another thread running the other day about condoms & who should supply them. The couple didn't actually get the support they expected. (Guy arrived without).

Gist of the argument was "You look after you, i'll look after me".

And it pretty much covers all the problem threads on Fab..Prick those ears up, get your bullshit radar tuned better, & move on is the best advise as there is little point in asking "Why" people do it on here, just accept that they do and work knowing it. Then when you do chat to one who isn't it's all the better..

Going back to your initial post though, was this last night 9:30pm?

I've read your profile OP, you don't sound like the sort of lady that would get annoyed over something trivial.

It's hard to find decent guys on here so when you think you've found one then they start to behave a bit dickish I suppose it can jar you off a bit. I think you just need to give your head a wobble, tell yourself this is how it is and the majority of guys are playing the game.

Put up a higher barrier.

Even if it was a dating site, looking for marriage, I think it's more than controlling to expect someone to tell you the details of their life. Once you develop an actual relationship, that's the time to expect more info on what they are up to, and even then, not a rigid account of what they are doing at all times.

I'd run faster than I'm capable of if anyone questioned anything I do in my life, here.

If I don't like the way a conversation is going with someone, I just move on. No one is obligated to give me any info they don't want to.

Expecting so much info from anyone does sound bunny boilerish to me.

I'm not trying to speak for the OP but I think the point of the thread isn't that she asked for information or anything like that. It's that he offered the information then appeared to return online after, meaning that it's probable that he was lying about what he'd said.

I don't think that the OP is claiming any form of control over the guy, it's the question of 'why lie?' that's been thrown up.

Think my problem is with this thread is that if it was a male who posted it the response would have been a lot worse. I tend to not regard the op gender before I reply so people get my response regardless of gender. Although looking at the thread there's a lot going on beyond the time someone went to sleep. And I feel sorry that it's blown up in this way

To be fair, if I was happily chatting to somebody, and in the middle of a conversation, then they said they are off to bed but seen them online later, I would also question it. Of course there could be a gazillion explanations. But she's allowed to question it, yes?

But I think the OP's point is, lies in general, and this obviously stemmed from being messed about in the past.

We all need to develop slightly thicker skin on Fab, but the question I have for you all, are we actually allowed to be human?

Just an observation....

Thank you!!

Even if it was a dating site, looking for marriage, I think it's more than controlling to expect someone to tell you the details of their life. Once you develop an actual relationship, that's the time to expect more info on what they are up to, and even then, not a rigid account of what they are doing at all times.

I'd run faster than I'm capable of if anyone questioned anything I do in my life, here.

If I don't like the way a conversation is going with someone, I just move on. No one is obligated to give me any info they don't want to.

Expecting so much info from anyone does sound bunny boilerish to me.

I'm not trying to speak for the OP but I think the point of the thread isn't that she asked for information or anything like that. It's that he offered the information then appeared to return online after, meaning that it's probable that he was lying about what he'd said.

I don't think that the OP is claiming any form of control over the guy, it's the question of 'why lie?' that's been thrown up.

Think my problem is with this thread is that if it was a male who posted it the response would have been a lot worse. I tend to not regard the op gender before I reply so people get my response regardless of gender. Although looking at the thread there's a lot going on beyond the time someone went to sleep. And I feel sorry that it's blown up in this way "

I was thinking exactly the same. If it was a guy he’d be controlling and vilified.

He said he was going to bed at 9:30, there's no reason to doubt he did that. And if he was still awake an hour later and popped back onto fab for a nosey, that doesn't make him a liar. Or does he have to run his online activity past everyone he's chatting to in case they're keeping tabs?

"Like getting a message that says

Went to bed at 9.30

But you know they were online way past that.

In the grand scheme of things, is bedtime really a major issue?

Well you've replied to my comment, and I'm scratching my head a little to see how you got from the point I was making to the point you made.

She wasn't questioning him. She was questioning why people lie. That is the OP. She gave an example that was widely misread and criticised. There is a massive difference. PLUS: She didn't ask for the info - he volunteered it.

She's human, right? The OP was questioning why people lie in general. if she hadn't brought that particular example up, you'd all be cheering her on, telling her how there are so many fibbers on fab!

Nobody mentioned a dating site or marriage. Nobody, especially the OP didn't have any expectations, other than honesty and that in a generalistic term, not only with regards to the unfortunate specific example.

Please put yourself in her situation and see how you would feel if the shoe was on the other foot and you had people misreading your OP.

Lets keep this positive, please. No need to judge and call people bunny boilers.
