Been a member for several years and pretty much know the rules and basically the odds of even getting a reply . There are a few diamonds and a few I keep in touch with out of here . I understand the sheer volume of arseholes and why some people are the way they are but the treatment from some folk is utter shite .

His rationale is fab is now facebook with the amount of undesirables on here treating it like adult works.

This is due to the amount media

Facebook™ ? Undesirable? Media attention? You were able to glean all this from the OP's post??

What's an "adult works"?

Bit unfair calling people undesirables we are all beautiful in our own way.

As for people asking for payment in 15 years I've never seen it but been offered lots of payment

I guess it’s frustrating. I would like just one meet/verification so I can show that I am 1) real, 2) sane, 3) approachable and 4) respectful. If that happens I will be ahead of about 95% of the men on here. At least that’s what I’m thinking.

Been trying for years, never happened, I’ve jokingly said before, it’s the same small group of people seeing each other, the rest of us are just watching…. lol I believe socials are the way to go, but unfortunately work and kids make that difficult for me….i just take it for what it is, browse, read watch, drop a few messages now and again and take notes for my psychology course lol

Go to a club and socialise and make sure they now and you know each other usernames from fab and make sure the verified so they can verify you and then you return the favour its really that easy for new single males… sex doesnt have to be included

Hate to at excuse…. I ve got kids, i work home and abroad, i coach 3 different year groups at football 6 of 7 days…. Its easy to book time in for yourself if you really want to improve… same way the gym works or learning a new trade, language or course… you put in the amount of effort you get back… if you complain about it then theres just a lack of effort on your part….

People are horrible in every walk of life thats why clubs and socials are great… scotland has 3 now… when i first started it was just cjs and parties most of them i went to were newcastle and east midlands based…

Just put the effort in and you ll get 100% of the award

I chat to a few people on here. I’ve been on and off a couple of times. Had a couple of meets but unfortunately members left so no longer have the veri’s.

Ladies can afford to be selective with who they meet. It’s just the way things are. If you’re lucky enough to get a meet just enjoy it.

Not sure what your point is to my ‘excuse’ if I can’t manage to get to socials because of kids and work etc then there is little I can do, I have fixed times and dates with my kid and work on top of that as well as other commitments, it’s not an excuse, it’s a reality, there many things I’d like to ‘make time for’ socially but can’t, just a bit of a weird response

It is a kink (not one of mine). I suspect that, in this case, the proposer thought you would be more inclined to accept a meet. If I had this kink then I would be more inclined to either A) hire a sex worker, or B) discuss it with a partner first and then incorporate it into the scenario as a roleplay thing.

I’ve been offered money here already. Not by the demographic I’m looking for though. In any case, even if it were, I wouldn’t accept unless it was a roleplay thing.

In my opinion this needs to be a paid site, the fakes are all unverified and not members. Having payment as mandatory will clear out a lot, probably not all though.

Unfortunately it’s a fine line with that one, too much and you’d lose a lot of people, too little and it wouldn’t deter the group you are trying to deter. I think a better start would be requiring all members to be photo verified at least, with no messaging until verified, give new members a weeks grace maybe then if no verification is completed the membership is suspended, that way people can ‘test out’ the site before committing.

We have found it to be a lot of fun and we have met some great people along the way .

Yeah it works more for some than others . I’m in no way trying to separate myself from the bunch but assumptions can be made and there’s no right to reply . Just wish some people would give fair opportunity. Iv saw some replies single women receive and don’t envy that but it’s easy to be cast aside among the verbal sweetcorn accompliaments . It’s just my frustration getting the better of me . Apologies to the good ones

Fakes and lack of manners and understanding can cause issues. The fact it free and open to such peoole make it difficult but there are some times to be had.

Just be realistic with your expectations and if you score result if not then live with it. Fab is what it is so just drift along

I've been on and off the site for years. Had a lot of good meets in the past on here but unfortunately due to those people leaving the site for one reason or another I no longer have veris. It's hard for women on here as they get inundated with hundreds of messages a day so to try and get through them all to find decent guys is a lot of work

You would still have the green tick as being verified even if they left the site... you don't. 🤷‍♀️🤔

Agree with this. Far too many fake profiles - can spot them a mile off. One or two word 'replies' no pics, deflection... It's mad, because there is no endgame with them. Are they bots? Time wasters?

Don't even start me on those 'puc first' when they have zero text, pics or details in profile.

Pretty sure most of these are extortion artists.

I'm gonna speak manly bloke language for a moment. Here me out!!

What do all these people have in common.

Lewis Hamilton, Kenny Dalglish, Steve Davis, Phil Taylor, Chris Hoy.

They all became champions through hard work and dedication to there choosen profession.

So, you want to do well on FAB. The same rules apply. You have to work hard and show dedication to be a champion.

It's not about looks or dick size. It's just about getting out there week in week out. Improving communications skills. Improving yourself, body, shape, hygiene, skin, Learning new tricks with your tongue. All that stuff and more.

That's what gets you noticed. That's what's brings forth opportunities. That's what makes you successful in FAB.

With respect, I feel that's a bit of a false equivelence.

The amount of female profiles who put in ZERO effort, yet expect Gents to grab their attention or stand out is unreal. We all know the type. 's3nd face pic with first message or you will be deleted'. Looks at profile - no pics, 'will fill in later'.

It works both ways, which is why I think the OP is correct in his initial assesment.

Fab used to be great 10+ years ago.

People would respond, the vast majority of profiles were legit and people would actually engage. It was for people, mainly but not exclusively, looking for SEX. Yes, connections had to be there and there needed to be some attraction, but the overall remit of the site was to facilitate hook ups.

Now it's demanding responses like 'face pic?'. Or not even a simple courtesy of a response.

There are so many fake and clearly burner profiles.

Fab needs to be regulated better or become paid, either way, it's not what it was.

Shame, as the '0ld guard' 2010-2015 era were in the main sound as a pound

Times change, and so it seems, has fab.

That said, still many cracking people on here, easygoing who are here for fun and bullshit free times.

If you can spot them a mile off then easy to avoid🤷‍♀️

As for a paid site. Do you really think this will stop them.... I dont. Folk have to start taking personal responsibility for their experience on here. Stop blaming others for whatever reason for your lack of 'success'

The only thing you can control is how you interact

I completely get your frustration OP, I’m feeling equally frustrated with fab the last few years myself. Been a photo verified member for probably 10 years now, have photos (not dick pics), good verifications (I do feel veris shouldn’t disappear when someone leaves the site though), been to organised socials, never send one line “wanna fuck” messages, always polite well thought out messages relevant to people’s profiles/what they are looking for…….I feel like I’m doing everything right but haven’t had a reply for over 2 years now. So you do wonder what the point is of paying the subscription fee every 60 days and continuing to make the effort. It was tough for single guys before but never as bad as this 😔

If someone fits the criteria in my profile or at least acknowledges their own profile doesn’t mention something that they like or is missing then I will usually reply.

But if your profile says you can’t accommodate, you are straight and you expect me to be ready waiting for your message then instant delete and no reply.

We started our profile a few months ago. I’ve been on/off here for 8 years. ( couples and single guy profiles). B is totally new to this and she is learning how to deal with certain people.

Single guys moaning about not getting verified should either make an effort or stop moaning. It’s easy to get verified as a single guy. Go to a club or a social meet. If you don’t have time to do that how do you think you will have time for meets ? Or do others have to fit into your schedule. Sorry guys you really have to fit into the woman’s or couples schedule. Tough if you don’t like it. I’ve done all of the above when I was on a single profile. If not find a woman who likes what you like.

As a couple on here the messages vary greatly from polite to rude.

We ( mainly me ) reply to nearly all messages. But some guys just can’t take no for an answer.

Also is there something wrong with single guys eyesight that they can’t read a profile ?

If a guy can’t be bothered reading a profile do they deserve a reply ? I think not.

Flip side is there are still a lot of decent people on here that will do well just because they have manners.

My only problem with FAB is that it’s becoming more just a fuck site with guys expecting to just sign up and be fucking all the time.

It’s a swingers site and if people don’t know the difference between swingers and just fucking maybe this isn’t the site for them.

Anyway. Happy Fabbing everyone.
