Why not join a walking group or leisure centre to meet and chat with people, or do voluntary work in a charity shop?, they are always looking for helpers.

Best joining something you enjoy or fancy, you will then meet people with at least one interest you both have.

I rejoined the bowling club now always out and meeting people.

If your relying on sites like this you are going go be very disappointed and lonely.

I tried to arrange a social last Friday with exactly that intention. Make some friends who understand our lifestyle.

No women were interested. 11 guys were, and 1 showed up. Now I know why the woman stayed away from the post and event.

I won't be doing it again

I'm surprised that only 1 of 11 showed up.

Personally if I say I'll be somewhere you can guarantee that I'll be there, don't understand people that do otherwise

They all said the same. I've been cancelled on plenty by guys who all say the same. It gets tiring

Hi ladies I agree with almost everything you've said but it's not all guys there are some strange ones on here but all I can say is keep trying I've looked at both of your profiles and that's exactly what I like but the problem is now you probably think I'm full of shit but I'm as genuine as they come but if I asked you in a DM if you want to meet I would get ignored or angry because I never said the right thing. and please don't take personal I don't blame you the amount of nutters is crazy lol it's ruining it for us all the people that use this site the way it should be, I'm looking for like-minded people to do all the exiting stuff possible I love it but it's getting impossible to use now. Sorry for the rant but just wanted to say please don't put all guys in the same bracket and tbh I only found this bit tonight!

I can’t figure that out tbf.

Of the very few meets I’ve had I’ve kind of figured out the lady I’ve chatted with and had no issues or backed out.

‘Meet Up’ is great (just Google it) - just make sure you remember is a SOCIAL group not a dating hook-up and certainly not a swingers group.

I've found myself on fab many times, like a lot of us i think. Loneliness has been a big part of that and not just to find someone for throwing a leg over.

It's difficult for guys to initiate chats on here.

So if you're feeling like that then you're not alone!

It does at times. Recognise the signs and take breaks when you need to.

Hillwalking club was the best thing I joined when I turned 50. Really hard meeting new friends, but that was something I loved doing, so have made loads of really good friends over the last couple of years through that.

I feel you on this one the loneliness is a killer and the right weirdos have ruined it for genuine guys. Ive tried to chat to women even just to chat but unless your Brad Pitt nobody seems to even want to talk.

Loneliness is such an epidemic in modern days. The hardest part is putting yourself out there to meet people. While fab is one place you can do it, it is inherently difficult to make in roads. Women suffer from mailbox bombardment and typically have their guard up. And guys, some of us need to accept we have caused this simply because your hunting for a transactional meet, not a mutual experience.

If I was to go back to when I got divorced and very much in your place, I would do exactly what I did again. Joining lots of different clubs to see if I find my people. Improve social skills by just saying hello to people while out walking to start with. Building from there. Treat fab with gentle hands, reaching out only if I actually like the persons profile and leading with a get to know you vibe, not a hook up.

Small steps daily will snowball quickly for you.

I've tried to make it out to Andys man club.

Anyone else tried or even heard of it?

Supposed to be quite helpful for a lot of guys in that position.

💯 spot on

I occasionally look at male profiles to see how they present themselves, kind of noticed 3 basic types:

Generally decent & honest

Weird or obnoxious

Prolific, with multiple profiles (another word could be groomers).

Everyone has their own ideas of what is normal behaviour.

Those numbers really suck! People used to say that on here, if you arrange anything, expect half at most to turn up. But 10% is just taking the proverbial.

It kills any drive or desire to try and arrange something similar in the future.

This comes up on the Glasgow sub on Reddit fairly often. There’s usually a lot of others looking for the same thing and many great suggestions. X
