"Can you remember that excitement/trepidation when you first joined Fab, the potential to explore long held fantasies and that elation of your first non-social meet? Does the site still deliver those intrinsic rewards for you, the buzz/thrill/rush whatever you may call it, do you still use the site in the same way with the same desired outcomes as you did initially? Personally having been on and off the site for the past 5-6 years I have to say it doesn’t elicit the same enjoyment as it once did when I first joined. I’m not a fan of social media in any way, shape or form I believe that it is counter productive and that it trains us to compare our lives as opposed to appreciate and cherish our individuality. In my opinion (and again it is just that, an opinion) Fab is becoming more of a social media site for people seeking casual sex as opposed to what it’s original intent was i.e. a site to facilitate the fulfilment of a swinging lifestyle. I think if you look at status updates and Forum threads in a lot of instances you could be forgiven for thinking you’ve logged on to Facebook or are witnessing a gaggle of squabbling teenagers. Too harsh? " Yip not as enjoyable as it once was, that's for sure | |||

"Yeah place has changed ..it is more social now ..when I first joined a long time ago it was more Last minute meets ..very spur of the moment and exciting ....but then the things I did then I would never have the guts to do now..so maybe fab and us are all just getting older haha" Oh I’m not knocking socials just in case anyone thinks I am. I’m genuinely interested (not in a snidey condescending way) why there are things you did when you first joined that you wouldn’t do now. Do you think that it’s down to a point a previous poster made that we are getting older and the spontaneity and rebellion against perceived societal norms e.g. monogamous sexual relations, group sex and same sex interactions being “not normal” doesn’t burn as brightly? | |||

A lot of longer term members often seem to be bemoaning the fact that's what so many folk are looking for now and that it's not what swinging is about. I've seen many refer to the social side of the 'scene ' so I would have thought the changes would have been viewed more positively in that respect. | |||

" I took a two year break from Fab and I’ve noticed a couple of things , the social side is more prevalent (single and group) but I think that may be we’re older,but , single ladies in particular are more spatially aware of the dangers that can lurk if things were more carefree and spur of the moment T | |||

"When I first joined the site you could send a message to someone who would then reply and a short conversation would begin and usually ended with you meeting for fun an hour or so later. That has changed dramatically and I don’t really agree with the fact I’m getting older rather people are more sceptical and require a safety meet first. The banter in the Forums is still the same just the faces or in some cases the silhouette changes. I have left and come back a couple of times over the past 12 years but then I’m addicted to the site and need a real life " Ive been here a long time too. Had a break for 18 months and it hasn’t really changed that much for me. But I do think that in the last 3-4 years people have become less willing to take a risk with their own safety - which has to be a good thing surely. Nowadays, people are definitely more safety conscious and I think that’s what has led to the decline in last minute hook ups. But I don’t think they’ve stopped completely. | |||

"Can you remember that excitement/trepidation when you first joined Fab, the potential to explore long held fantasies and that elation of your first non-social meet? Does the site still deliver those intrinsic rewards for you, the buzz/thrill/rush whatever you may call it, do you still use the site in the same way with the same desired outcomes as you did initially? Personally having been on and off the site for the past 5-6 years I have to say it doesn’t elicit the same enjoyment as it once did when I first joined. I’m not a fan of social media in any way, shape or form I believe that it is counter productive and that it trains us to compare our lives as opposed to appreciate and cherish our individuality. In my opinion (and again it is just that, an opinion) Fab is becoming more of a social media site for people seeking casual sex as opposed to what it’s original intent was i.e. a site to facilitate the fulfilment of a swinging lifestyle. I think if you look at status updates and Forum threads in a lot of instances you could be forgiven for thinking you’ve logged on to Facebook or are witnessing a gaggle of squabbling teenagers. Too harsh? " I actually still get that tummy swoop/excitement before a meet. Been here on and off for 3 years. Trick for me is to take a break for a couple of months if it's not feeling like fun then come back when it does. Self care is essential. | |||

"I've never been one for spontaneous meets as I like my safety too much, but fab has definitely changed in my 5yrs here. But then my circumstances have too. At the moment just trying to find decent people to have fun with is a chore, ing through all the crappy messages and dick pics from those too lazy to read a profile. Sadly the guys who are sending decent messages and making an effort don't seem to be guys I'm attracted to. Definitely in a slump right now" I get this. Been here off and on about the same time. I’ve had a few messages recently with a reasonable bit of effort put in, but which don’t float my boat, equally, I’ve sent a few, having also taken the time to write a proper personal message, only to be deleted moments after reading. Horses for courses, I guess, but frustrating both ways! | |||

"All down to correct judgement common sense and proper precautions in place , if that doesn’t sound like singing to the choir , I know " totally agree but even that doesn't make you 100% safe from a maddie | |||

"Changing from a couple to a single profile has changed things. I also think you learn as you go the longer you are here. As a couple meets were spontaneous, as a single I take more time to decide & always socially first. R " from a male perspective I never considered that Rosie | |||

"Consensus seems to be that it serves the desired purpose. However, there does also seem to be a significant number of people who like me think the site has changed and most definitely not for the better. Having read a couple of Forum posts just tonight and witnessed threads being hijacked for the purposes of personal vendettas, arrogance and condescension in spades I can see my contributions to the Forums being significantly scaled back. " In the past 10 years I would say that this type of thing has been at its worst on fab for over the past year or so. Fab unfortunately have to take the blame for this as there are people who actually, blatantly state they try and highjack threads and make threads go off track but they are allowed to continue. . I myself have seen this and the only time when I'm caught up on this by a few in particular who are constant. I like to think I never instigate it I sometimes just reply to a direct comments to me and try to bring it back on thread but I for one are really happy with the little green button as it tells the truth about people, including myself Fab has without doubt changed since way back then and I think there are too many negatives since then than positives | |||

"Not harsh at all... I often question myself why I’m still here, the answer is usually the socials but even they don’t hold the same excitement anymore K x Again not being snidey, why has it changed for you? It’s more of a casual hookup site now ( in my opinion) I probably want different things than I wanted 6 years ago. Probably loads of other reasons as well but that might get me a timeout K x" I agree with u. I never wanted 1 night stands and still don't but the majority of guys are looking for just that. For this reason it now takes me longer to arrange to meet cos I need to get up that rapore and suss someone out. Having said that iv got a lot of friends on the site that I mix socially and a couple of regular meets so still works for me x | |||
