Is it such a big deal to ask for a social first. If you read our veris, it's supposedly worth it in the long run

Yet again...supposed to be meeting at 2pm.. sat here at 2.50pm still alone

Really is rubbish. I can speak from both sides having initially been a stereotype timewaster and from having plenty of my own time wasted.

Why was I a timewaster? Ah that'd be me realising I wasn't ready, that I'd exaggerated my experiences & realised if I went through with it I'd be over my head. And nerves.

But guess what after a while word got round the chatrooms I was using & I got royally shown the error of my ways.

Do I get nervous before a meet still? God yes. Do I communicate a lot better now? Hell yes. Do I always go through with a meet? Hmmmmnope but I always give plenty of notice if not my reasons.

Try not to let it get you down. I had one from here on an old account cancel, uncancel, cancel then uncancel again the very same morning. In the end I'd have been better off leaving it cancelled

See this is what’s wrong with fab. Time wasters and no shows literally cause the reaction that people become untrusting and it makes it harder for the genuine ones out there.

Sorry they didn’t show up. That sucks

That’s a good attitude to have! Especially if you’ve been swinging for 15 years, you’ve probably had a few experiences of no shows.

We all start out trusting everyone. Oooh promising messages, then get diaries lined up... Then get ghosted suddenly. Rinse & repeat that a few times & you can quickly become so jaded you just give up.

It's a big reason I set out to try clubs. Or at least arranging to meet at a club. Get a no show at a club ... There might just be a fine plan B waiting

Totally vexing and unfortunately just part and parcel of arranging meets in our experience. Last minute nerves or unforeseen circumstances do not justify a no show. ANYONE with a remote sense of decency can drop a sorry text. Only way we view it is that this would not be a person who has the qualities we value. Lucky escape OP

Never once stood anyone up. Had to cancel or re-arranage with advance notice but never left anyone hanging.

On the flip side we only been officially stood up once (in 23 years) when it was just us. Quite a few last moment cancellations though (best one being "I forgot the football was on"). Had plenty of no shows at social events weve hosted though.

That said theres been a significant rise in cancellations on us these last few months.

Sign of the times or fab just getting a bit worse with time wasting?

Only meet in clubs now, every message I get I tell them and not one will want to take it any further.

If I really am all of the nice compliments I get, surely being seen in public (swingers club on a bi night) wouldn’t be an issue.

Always good to have a social first to see if both connect and have chemistry as this continues sexually.

Sorry to hear about being stood up just remember that you are worthy and their loss

In 11 or more years swimming, like everyone I've had the losers now and again.

I now agree a messaging schedule in advance, so that early warning signs can alert me. If they don't do what they have agreed to do, that's a fair sign that they won't be a respectful, responsive partner anyway.

Some people are just not very honest, so don't share their truthful situation and thus highlight potential complications etc

A lot of guys here are just after drity chat etc. and have no intention of ever meeting. We don't engage with that or swap private pics. Our first meetings are always social only and we always factor in being let down so if it happens it doesn't spoil the event. I think the fakes and timewasters avoid us because we don't feed their habit.

That's because Fab is free. The lack of subscription fees is what attracts a lot of dreamers, wanna be's and just general ner do wells who like to ruin other peoples days.

That said, with some common sense you can usually spot those types early on.

It might not be entirely on topic, but still close I think:

Who here has the same impression as me, which is that things have fundamentally changed as a result of Covid.

Less meetups taking place and in general especially people in my age range (50 and thereabouts) have become much more cautious.

From a personal perspective, I must admit that having been isolated socially for this long has had a devastating effect on my openness and candid approach to meeting. It scares me no end these days.

I'm curious and eager to learn what others are experiencing?

Spot on! Fab itself has been pretty universally unsuccessful for me over the 7 - 8 years I've been on here, BUT it's pointed me to organised socials and clubs where I've had some awesome times and met some great people, some of whom are now real friends who I'd go out of my way for.

I’m not trying to sound harsh, but I have been dealing with the same thing for months now. And no it’s not “single” men it’s everyone on the site who just want to wank off and Fulfilled their fantasies.

Actually, I do care. If I've taken time out of my already busy day to meet a guy or couple and they don't show. Then I've wasted my time. I understand things pop up, but give prior notice or let them know. Don't just "not turn up".

Also, clubs aren't for everyone. Not everyone is a Voyeur or exhibitionist. Some like to have more personal and intimate meets. Or child arrangements/carer responsibilities so they can't go to clubs in the evenings.

I agree with OP, it's rude if someone just "doesn't show up" in my opinion.

Honestly I’m not trying to sound rude but I’ve had the same thing happen to me over and over again, and get no shows or the couple says he can come though. Like wtf,

I understand clubs are not for everyone but I think that’s the best option right now especially with all the time wasters, honestly I’ve been in the same boat, got dressed cleaned up. Then bang no show. When I “complain” on the forums, like OP then I get sent oh you are doing this wrong, look at your profile, this that and everything else......

100%

It shows a complete lack of class. It's not hard to do and totally disrespects the other person, who may have made a big effort or travelled some distance and who could have done something better with their day. Barring genuine disasters there are no excuses and no need for it.

You dont want to sound harsh or rude? Maybe try seeing the bigger picture.

Not everyone has access to clubs. Nearest one to use is 55 miles away and we dont drive.

Not everyone has all the free time in the world.

We have to arrange our free time around around work and child care, might not be an issue for you but it is for others.

We also book hotel rooms out of our own pocket I will add. So you might be able to shrug off the cost of a hotel room. It others cant.

So if someone stood us up, we would have wasted a lot of effort and be out of pocket. We would have every right to be pretty pissed off.

Everyone has different circumstances. Yours will be different from everyone else but it does not change the fact that standing somone up is rude, selfish and a shitty thing to do to other human beings.

So please...dont treat standing people up.as such a trivial thing. People should at least have the decency to tell other people they've changed their mind about meeting.

"Honestly why is everyone complaining, who cares if someone doesn’t turn up their loss, there are plenty of clubs to go to. And meet new people.

I’m not trying to sound rude but my suggestion is just go to clubs and whatever

You dont want to sound harsh or rude? Maybe try seeing the bigger picture.

Not everyone has access to clubs. Nearest one to use is 55 miles away and we dont drive.

Not everyone has all the free time in the world.

Okay okay I understand what you are saying, I understand people can’t go to clubs at the drop of a hat, but I couldn’t either, I can’t drive, I haven’t got money for a hotel and a train ticket on top of that. But I still have to suck it up and try and do things differently, honestly when I went on the forums to vent i got told by loads of people go to clubs do this do that, when I say my reason for not going to clubs, it’s always oh you won’t get any meets then or I met loads of people though clubs. So I was only making a suggestion that others have always said to me.

I’ve been stood up more than once, and I’ve also had the Male half of the couple say only he’s turning up

There was a time few years ago I had 30 arranged social meets. 30 in a row no shows, ghosted, cancelled last second. It put me right off.

OP go to clubs or big organized fab socials where you can meet genuine people, you will have great time out out and your time will never be wasted

It is simply awful and also discourages from meeting people. I have been stood up twice in the past year and that was twice too many - now it is very unlikely that I will agree to meet someone individually (I might take a chance now and then but that is rare). Oh, well.

problem for us is, we dont have any clubs near, so that meens a long trip and a hotel, so it gets hard for childcare and costs alot, so like to meet localy, we will try a club someday, but it will take alot of planning etc, so not so easy

I totally understand that, I’m in the same boat.

Like the nearest club to me, is like two hours away by train (because I don’t drive) and even then I would have to take a taxi to the location, then as you said hotels, it’s a lot of money that I personally don’t have. I totally understand. The reason why I brought it up is because when I complained that’s what I got told to do.

And trust me it was hard.

Why indeed? Regardless how anyone looks, I guess those who stand people up do not see us as we matter, as if we are human or real. By selfish and thoughtless actions they also make it worse for everyone else...

"Get used to it , happens all the time or last minute cancellations

Yes so annoying and upsetting. I try to flip things to make them positive and I do think ultimately it's a blessing that they didn't show. If they can behave this selfishly and thoughtlessly from the outset, they would not to have been worth any amount of your time and this behaviour might have come at an even more upsetting moment.

It boils down to people jumping in without thinking, which is why I've gone for a long profile on here. Communication is everything. I think putting it all out there whittles down the people to those who are genuinely interested in meeting and sharing a great time, which makes for a better chance for connection and chemistry. If it becomes obvious in their messages that they haven't bothered to read any of it, or they are making it all about themselves, it is a red flag early on.

Hope you keep the faith. It's true, there is an awful lot of this unthinking selfishness around, it's everywhere, but not everyone's the same.

Whilst we do read a long profile we don’t believe people read ours often so we won’t lengthen it.

We’re now thinking that verifications are everything.

But it seems we're not. Lots of guys here just want to see pictures or videos with no intention of meeting and lots and lots of couples who are looking for that elusive single female. There are some lovely genuine guys on who we've met and played with but they are very much in the minority Lxx

I do agree verifications are very important, but a decent length profile is also very helpful in my opinion. Helps those of us who are genuine determine whether interests align.

Having said that, mine might be a bit lengthy. Probably leaves little for initial conversation

It happens a lot. Often from people you wouldn't expect to be flaky. That's why we don't arrange meets on here. Either hook up at clubs or opportunistically hit on people when we are out and about (that often works surprisingly well and is good old school fun).
