"You appear to be taking this a little too seriously OP, Fab is about FUN! As a single female with an unfiltered profile, I get a LOT of messages and simply can't read them all, there are just too damned many - I won't be alone in that. What I am saying is people miss messages at times, I also know a lot of couples who read messages together - one may read it and wait for the other to read it too before replying - there is no reason to be blocking people who don't respond quickly I wish you luck on your Fab quest but hope you can chill out a bit - I have to agree with the post above too, that status would stop me replying to someone no matter how delicious I potentially thought them" She just blocked us because we didn’t reply straight away lol. She only messaged us 7 minutes ago! | |||

"I would say stop changing things to what you think people want, and be yourself. Fab is fun, get involved in the forum, get to know people and just enjoy it. " Absoultely this. Be who you want to be and focus on what you enjoy. You'll find others who are into the same things sooner or later. If it's not fun it's not worth doing and trying to please others and what they think on here is a short ride to misery. | |||

Write it so it represents you, what you're looking for and what you offer. Constantly rewriting it based on what other people suggest (and yes there's irony here) loses the you that's you. Also, having read through this and your other threads, it seems you message people and block them minutes later, before they've had a chance to read your message, let alone reply to you. That's never going to get the interaction you're looking for. Good luck in the future, I hope you find what you're looking for. | |||

"Well I can't speak for the OP as I've never seen their profile- although obviously, I guess that most couples and single women on this site must be literally inundated with requests, for such is the strata of our society. And with time being limited, they can't always reply to, read or consider all of them individually. They would LITERALLY, not even figuratively, be there all day. What I understand less, perhaps, is why when you see someone flagged on your local updates that meets your preferences, seems to be into almost all the same things as you, professes to be looking for fuckbuddies that are roughly the same height and build as you and even has a PARTNER that looks quite like you, they still delete your polite and articulately-written message without replying. That DOES seem quite nonsensical, especially when a day or so later they're still practically begging for a hookup from 'anyone available' on their status update- although I also fully understand that the long hair I grew back over three Cockdowns will not be to everybody's taste [which is one of the reasons why it's getting a trim before Swingathon, the heat being another] In short, some ten years on from joining Fab, I have come to the conclusion that much as with most things in life- politics, computers, musical tastes, football - there ARE no constants only variables, nothing makes any form of linear sense, and you can't even remotely attempt to second guess it. Pandemic or no pandemic, human beings will always be fallible and ultimately a bit crap. However, that hasn't stopped me having immense ammounts of fun at most of the clubs I've attended for the last 25 years, and playing with some amazing people who also quite seemed to like me. I've just never met very many of them on here. I suppose the more pertinent question, therefore, is when those clubs will open up again, and under what if any restrictions. Only time, and the machinations of politicians and businessmen, will tell..." We get this a lot, people who message us because they match our likes perfectly. Attraction is a two way street. Just because you fancy me, doesn't mean I'll fancy you. I don't know why some people don't understand or appreciate this. No matter how well constructed their message is, if they're not attractive to us, no amount of "I match your profile perfectly will compensate for the the fact that we just don't fancy them. Thinking it will is misguided at best. E | |||

"I think it's worth stepping back a little, to give yourself some chance of reducing the stress from this. You're busy and others will be too, so I'd soften the focus on expecting a reply within 24 hours of messages read, etc. People are all different and take varying amounts of time to evaluate and plan what they want - especially if they're not single. I suggest pausing from looking at your sent messages, giving others more time. If you feel that you are needing something that is a more refined taste, you could probably rightly expect that the volume of others who match will have been reduced down from the higher levels of people here. Due to the pandemic, many people have been waiting a year or more to meet with old friends, so newer contacts can be at the back of the queue and lower priority. It's not for others to tell anyone how to live but my concern is that this is possibly too big a source of consternation for you Op, which isn't good for stress levels. If you can find a way to destress it, it could be helpful, whilst not giving up. Over all the separate aspects of our life here, we have greater control over our expectations than many of the other aspects. It might be helpful to evaluate what your expectations are and to rethink them somewhat. Take care " Thanks for your advice and most of the messages I have sent have been seen and read honestly I have decided not to care and just go to swingers clubs (and if one of the couples that have read every single message I will not be talking to in real life) | |||

I personally wouldn't want to meet someone similar to my husband as I come here for something different, it's like my husband has tattoos & a shaved head, but I prefer guys without tattoos & I love guys with long hair doesn't mean I don't fancy him but when I'm given a choice of guys here, I'm likely to go for the guys without tattoos & long curly hair | |||

What I understand less, perhaps, is why when you see someone flagged on your local updates that meets your preferences, seems to be into almost all the same things as you, professes to be looking for fuckbuddies that are roughly the same height and build as you and even has a PARTNER that looks quite like you, they still delete your polite and articulately-written message without replying. That DOES seem quite nonsensical, especially when a day or so later they're still practically begging for a hookup from 'anyone available' on their status update- although I also fully understand that the long hair I grew back over three Cockdowns will not be to everybody's taste [which is one of the reasons why it's getting a trim before Swingathon, the heat being another] In short, some ten years on from joining Fab, I have come to the conclusion that much as with most things in life- politics, computers, musical tastes, football - there ARE no constants only variables, nothing makes any form of linear sense, and you can't even remotely attempt to second guess it. Pandemic or no pandemic, human beings will always be fallible and ultimately a bit crap. However, that hasn't stopped me having immense ammounts of fun at most of the clubs I've attended for the last 25 years, and playing with some amazing people who also quite seemed to like me. I've just never met very many of them on here. I suppose the more pertinent question, therefore, is when those clubs will open up again, and under what if any restrictions. Only time, and the machinations of politicians and businessmen, will tell... We get this a lot, people who message us because they match our likes perfectly. Attraction is a two way street. Just because you fancy me, doesn't mean I'll fancy you. I don't know why some people don't understand or appreciate this. No matter how well constructed their message is, if they're not attractive to us, no amount of "I match your profile perfectly will compensate for the the fact that we just don't fancy them. Thinking it will is misguided at best. E It does come across as a little bizarre, however, when - as I said above - you see a picture of their regular partner and they look almost exactly like you. As has happened a couple of times. I can't speak for anybody else, but it makes me think that maybe they don't really fancy THEM either. But that's a conversation for them to have between one another. In a way, I'm glad I don't have to be involved. Maybe they want to find someone who is different to their regular partner rather than a clone? " Possibly, but on the whole most people have a 'type' they like and a type they don't. And when I say I look exactly like someone else or vice versa, that doesn't mean either is a 'clone' as such, merely that they're strikingly similar in appearance, aesthetic and mannerism. For what it's worth, I don't think I've ever been a precise carbon copy of anyone's partner down to every last detail; if I was I'd REALLY be worried. Though if I knew how to make one of Jan Francis circa 'Just Good Friends', I'd be in business... | |||

You seem to be focussed on " the bloke she fucks looks just like me, so clearly she'll fuck me too" There's a chap at a club we visited pre Covid, same build as M, very similar look to M, even down to their "hairstyle" People often jokingly ask if they're brothers. He's a very nice chap and we get on really well. Despite how similar they ate, he doesn't have M's personality. I won't be fucking him. E | |||

"Your profile is very confusing. No tattoos or piercings stated but both can be seen in photos. You mention a balaclava because of your job but your face is shown. The last part re couples, women etc just adds to the confusion. " Okay okay I understand what you are saying but when I had my balaclava on in my pictures everyone on the forums said that the balaclava is intimidating so that’s why now I’m showing all my pictures and the other reason why I’m showing all my pictures is because most of the people on here keep asking for more pictures | |||

"Tbh your profile, and this thread, portray you as aggressive and high maintenance. I'd suggest toning it down, keeping it simple and upbeat and show a bit of your lighthearted side. Guys and couples here want to have fun and avoid drama. " I know that that’s what I’m trying to do plus I’m trying not to bring drama on fab Honestly at this moment in time I’m taking a break I’m not even pissed anymore I’m over everything the couples that ghosted me their loss my profile is whatever I’m just doing my own thing from now on. And one thing that I have noticed is that the couples that have ghosted me don’t seem to comment on the forums about me I’m not trying to cause anything I’m just pointing something out. Literally my last post was asking about clubs and stuff and then some comment to bring it all back up | |||
