Couples and pickiness differences

Wakefield/Leeds

So we’ve been on fab for a few years now and as a couple who are both active on account-checking and responding to messages from female suitors or us messaging women here and there, we generally agree on attraction and who we like/would like to progress talks with.

Every now and then though, we have differences of opinions (based on initial attraction to someone’s profile; their pics surely and maybe other info noted on a profile) on who we’d like to start/continue chatting to...with the intention to meet.

How do others on here deal with their approach to these differences and what is the level of “give and take” you guys employ (if you do) with regards to that?

These differences of opinion are VERY rare for us though but it’s always interesting when they do pop up! Would be interesting to hear how others deal with it and progress with decision making!

If either one of us doesn't like the person, or one half of the couple, then we don't progress it, simple as that

When I was part of a couple on here, neither of us had smartphones. Sometimes she'd begin pm'ing somebody who would give me the creeps. So I'd say "do you want a cup of tea?", and she'd say "yes please". So I'd pretend to go to the kitchen, but really I'd go to the fuse box and shut the whole flat down, including the router, and say it must be a powercut. Added bonus was that I didn't have to actually make that tea either.

We’re the same, we rarely disagree on who we will and will not meet.

Because of this if either one of us has doubts we don’t take it any further.

It wouldn’t make for a good experience if one of us was doing it reluctantly.

Got ya!

Very similar for us, it’s just those moments where maybe we may think- does this picture do that person justice? Or nope, no need to see more...or a differing reaction towards size.

This is something me and my partner find hard to find so we have agreed to play separately with others rather than with another couple unless we are in a club

Sure, sometimes it's not obvious from pictures/profile, so we might arrange a social, or start chatting if we feel there might be something to build on, see how it develops

Very rational and mature compromise!

Agree with this. No harm seeing how someone actually looks in person and then make a determination. Sometimes some people don’t always take the best pics on their own, so wouldn’t be right to judge them too much on that unless there’s definite things in other pics or profile text that are absolute turn offs

We have to both want to meet whoever it is. We both have a veto.

Agreed- wouldn’t work otherwise. It’s just for those differing opinions even before meeting; the “I think he/she’s nice/attractive” whilst the other thinks “mehh” moments Lol.

This. We’ve never even tried to persuade the other either. A simple no and we move on. It’s worked for us so far
