It’s not just men I’m afraid. I’ve had similar situations when planning on meeting single women or couples.

Can’t say it’s something that I have ever done.

That said life does sometimes through a spanner in the works no matter how genuine somebody is.

I do feel your frustration though.

It’s guys like you refer to give the genuine ones like myself a bad name.

Try not to tar everybody with the same brush, though

It's not just men unfortunately. I've had women and couples do the same.

Funny thing us that they were so keen and made it seem like I was being difficult.

Then they let me down. I wasn't too surprised by it. I've found that most serious people on here do not message you for weeks before arranging a social/meet.

2 years ago a let down was unusual. Now it's every other meet. I was wondering if it was personal to me. Even guys I've met previously make plans then cancel last minute, so I can't say it's the newbies and wannabes to blame.

You're not alone, a lot of people are saying the same.

Same with couples. We have noticed a decline over the last year or so (since Covid) of couples who seem to be here just to chat and with little intention to meet. Even since the easing of restrictions and “better” patches when the virus isn’t quite as prevalent. Trying to keep the faith but yep - a lot of time wasters.

ive figured folk perhaps arrange a meet when feeling horny and or typsy....then on the day of the meet there not feeling it hence make un true excuses cancel or just totally let people down

i personally text a meet when i'm leaving home ,when halfway there and again when close by.

or i book and pay a nice hotel with a bar so at least they know i'll be there...if they dont show i just enjoy my evening in hotel bar or pub crawl

I know one woman who met all the time got really fed up with all the let downs. She's left the site and I assume that's why.

We’ve been let down twice by guys but never by a couple.

One guy apparently got told by a fwb she was pregnant so had to cancel at one hours notice to be with her. The other guy forgot he was going on holiday and got shitty when we asked how you forget you’re going on holiday two days before you’re leaving.

We no longer meet single guys as it’s not worth the hassle for the reasons above and a number of other reasons. For us couples are more reliable.

It happens in all groups I suspect, I've certainly had it with a couple, they went completely silent for 4 days then the bloke went crazy saying we'd blocked him (this was on my couples profile) we hadn't, but did within a few minutes if receiving those messages

Probably because whilst the lad wants the woman he doesnt want the other guy around and bottles it when it is apparent the woman isnt gonna play alone. Shitty but very common. I wouldnt meet a couple because i have no interest in another bloke being there - just my personal preference. Id meet the female half of a cpuple one on one or both at a social leading to time with the woman as a possibility

This^^^^. I certainly wouldn't arrange to meet unless I was 100% certain I could from my end. Maybe it's just better to make friends with single men so you can make a better judge of character. All depends what you are looking for.

Complain as you will the chances are the guys you reference won't read it or change.

I've found that every once in a while you get quite a few that are let downs or time wasters... But then get a run of really good people and great meets... it is a bit disheartening but I suppose we have to just deal with it our own way and move on..

Beats me, maybe people get intimidated at the last moment if they haven't already met the other people involved and developed a rapport? Even men worry about their personal safety sometimes, I'd certainly be a little apprehensive going to a couple's house if we hadn't have met somewhere public beforehand or at very least, interacted on webcam.

I'm new to the scene and have been to one club and had one meet with someone I (luckily) already knew. Both times I was super nervous but managed to push past the nerves and have a fantastic time.

So _ased on how I felt, I'm sure some people must just bottle it, even with good intentions. Then there are others that are just lonely/bored/horny and like someone else said, the thrill of it's what they want.

I don't think this is specific to fab, the same happens on other dating apps too. People are people after all.

Things have changed somewhat, so it means that we have to stay 1 step ahead of those who are reducing the potential for positive meets. New strategies, including filtering, advance social interaction and meets.

If we don't change, it's likely to continue to deteriorate for us.

From.my experience and that of close friends swinging as a MF couple, solo guys are in too many cases let their 'categoty' down.

Friends who organise child care, ttavel to a hotel room, get ready both physically and psychologically and......

It sounds like they have let you know they wouldn't be coming, does it really matter why? Men are as entitled to change their mind as women are surely, it would be worse if they just didn't turn up.

"Same with couples. We have noticed a decline over the last year or so (since Covid) of couples who seem to be here just to chat and with little intention to meet. Even since the easing of restrictions and “better” patches when the virus isn’t quite as prevalent. Trying to keep the faith but yep - a lot of time wasters. "

I think that are a lot more “wannabes” on here than say a few years ago.

People that get their titillation from just being on a swinging site, post a few pictures and possibly chat.

It takes a massive amount of my time and effort to, first get to chat to someone then get to the stage of arranging a meet. So, if I do get to arrange one then I’m not going to screw all that hard work up by not turning up.

Plus, I genuinely want to meet people.

The Wannabes don’t care because they are getting what they want out of it by just being on here.

I think Fab needs to come up with a better system than the current one to out the “Wannabes”

I think the thing to remember is to not take it personally…. It’s them with the issue not you

Happens with couples and women too.

People like the idea of it, enjoy the chase , the flirting etc, but are too scared (for many reasons) to go through with it. They think it’s harmless, never thinking how annoying it is for the other party.

To be fair single men to couples would appear to be the most common meet scenario so is bound to be the most cancelled scenario too you’d imagine.

The big issue with men versus couples is that you are always on alert that they are cheating on their partner. Yes there are cheating FWB couples and yes there are cheating women but the numbers are small compared to men. So if we have a suspicion about a guy and they then cancel at short notice with a “I forgot I was going on holiday” then we assume they are attached and have cancelled due to their wife possibly changing plans.

We’ve never had a couple cancel except for illness and it’s rare. They’re just a bit more reliable.

With single men there’s a big pool of other guys so it’s easy to move onto someone else.

I think it happens on both sides but agree clubs are a much safer bet- no expectations and very relaxed. I have been on and off this site for several years. I have only had a few meets but they all have been last minute. If I have planned time free my preference would be a club although a simple social is also easy to arrange too. I do feel sympathy for you though- we all live busy lives and when you are let down then it’s nots nice. Maybe arranging a social might help to sift out the charlatans?

"To be fair single men to couples would appear to be the most common meet scenario so is bound to be the most cancelled scenario too you’d imagine.

The big issue with men versus couples is that you are always on alert that they are cheating on their partner. Yes there are cheating FWB couples and yes there are cheating women but the numbers are small compared to men. So if we have a suspicion about a guy and they then cancel at short notice with a “I forgot I was going on holiday” then we assume they are attached and have cancelled due to their wife possibly changing plans.

We’ve never had a couple cancel except for illness and it’s rare. They’re just a bit more reliable.

With single men there’s a big pool of other guys so it’s easy to move onto someone else. "

Well put. As others have said going to a club will increase your chances significantly and at least you haven't wasted your night even if you don't play.

It may also be worthwhile checking peoples veris. Just my 2p worth.

As many others have said in the thread, for me the only way now is just go along to a club with no expectations.

I chat to everyone and anyone, have a great social night and if there happens to be chemistry with someone, we don't have to think about checking calendars, looking for accommodation or that they won't look exactly like their profile.

One guy apparently got told by a fwb she was pregnant so had to cancel at one hours notice to be with her. The other guy forgot he was going on holiday and got shitty when we asked how you forget you’re going on holiday two days before you’re leaving.

We no longer meet single guys as it’s not worth the hassle for the reasons above and a number of other reasons. For us couples are more reliable. "

I've witnessed the problem from all sides.

There's been a surge of male keyboard warriors during the past 2 years of lockdowns, who are OK at building the chase and "talking the talk" but when it gets to the point when reality kicks in and someone wishes to meet, they lose their bottle and cannot "walk the walk!".

Equally, there are females and couples, though not as large a percentage, who are just as bad in letting others down. I've been let down a few times, often as late as getting to the front door after a 90 minute drive, and being told then, "we have changed our minds! Bye bye!"

All the checking, seeing Verifications, and trusting your own gut feelings won't ever get rid of this long running issue.

I know some couples that will be talking to multiple people when looking. They’ll be free on a particular night, and tell all these people, and then it’s a case of first come first served and so the excuses come out for the others to keep them sweet for next time that they’re available.

Their justification is that if they concentrated on just one person when arranging a meet and it falls through; then that would be a waste of a night.

Unfortunately a very large proportion of the men on this site are fantasists… it’s the chase and talking about meeting that gets them going, and as a lot aren’t actually single it means they mess people about for their kicks without ever actually being able to meet"

^^^^^^^^ this ^^^^

Plus, I've lately learned to take everything people say with a pinch (or bucket) of salt. If I speak to somebody online and I gauge that they're talking too much about "what would we do and what would you do to me" etc, I've learned to recognise it as a sign of a cyberwanker who is about to blow a load and will never show up as promised. Of course that's only a tiny example out of different types of timewasters.

Hi OP. Just a question so I can understand without making assumptions: did all your no-show disappointments have to do with men you were about to meet for a 1st time, for sex, or was it also no-shows for a purely social 1st meet?

The same has happened to us with single guys on so many occasions. Within an hour of the planned meet it all goes quiet or we get some shitty excuse like "stuck working late in London". FFS. There are so many nice single guys out there, but just as many dreamers. Have only ever had a similar situation happen once with a couple.

Clubs are ok, but it's less intimate and doesn't feel like there's much of a build up.

In that case, the only down-to-earth suggestion I can come up with as help is, if you have a swingers' club near you, arrange to meet a guy there. The more outlandish scenario I can suggest is, for the purposes of a sexy weekend, try speaking to more than 3 blokes at the same time. I don't know if you like gangbangs at all but if you do, speaking to more than 2 or 3 people at the same time for a sexy weekend will give you more chances of somebody showing up. Also, always exchange phone numbers with the intent of making a voice call before the arranged meet. It's probably not fool-proof but, like many, I've found that fakes will usually never speak on the phone before a meet.

Sadly, in our experience couples are far worse than single men.

That's why we only meet initially for a drink and chat.

there are guys on here that once they've met you a few times and gained trust then use you as a back up plan ie say they wanna meet whiles carrying on to look for others then come back at the last min if nothing else turns up or back out if found someone else .. we had quite a few like this over the years ...when they start to go like this its a block and no more

I simply don't get it. If you're here trying to arrange a meet you should be wanting the meet, it's just insanity to be doing it otherwise. If only there was some kind of bond system where both parties put a deposit in and if the other fails to show they get the cash and the no show gets blocked from the site - that would stop most of them! Closest thing would be 50/50 on a hotel?

Problem is there are a lot of guys on here living in fantasy and just adding to their wank bank. It is so prevalent that even couples like us that like to meet single guys won't direct from this site. We always tell them to meet us at a club. The vast majority never do but we still have a good night, so it's their loss.

It’s not just men I’m afraid. I’ve had similar situations when planning on meeting single women or couples.

Can’t say it’s something that I have ever done.

That said life does sometimes through a spanner in the works no matter how genuine somebody is.

We feel the same and we won't ever travel to meet someone either and always surprised when the male or even couple do show up !! and yes couples can be as bad as the males we've found but most so called single males aren't single at all ?? or are just on here to either get a quick fumble and fuck to put it crudely and so suggesting a social which implies they might have to engage in a conversation longer than it takes for them to cum ?? fills them with abject terror and dread that they bottle it ?? but our heart does go out to the many great and genuine guys on here as it's hard enough as it is to get meets or interest without all the fake gagging for it i'm throbbing my balls are full wanna see me cum gang and here's me knob and fancy some fun gang...

If only I knew the technique of these timewasters. I would use their successful techniques to arrange meets and actually turn up.

Fab life would be so much better

We’ve just been called sad pathetic fakes for not replying to messages

But we’ve always had good lines of communication before a meet exchanging numbers etc but prefer clubs for this exact reason it’s cuts out all the bullshit.

Timewasters have no gender. Usually these are people with very little to talk about and they rarely can hold decent conversation.

An invite to swing?

Clubbing is your answer, making friends is the game.

Verifications from others always help making decision if some one going to let you down. Correct me if I am wrong. Agree?

100% we look at verifications and the people who verified them it all ads to the credibility

"Interesting post as 12 of your 25 verifications have come from single men. I wonder how they would feel.

I feel your frustrations, but tarring everyone with the same brush is somewhat unfair. "

I wouldn’t say we are tarring everyone with the same brush as we still give a chance to men. However you saying that 12 of our Veris are from single men.. some of them are single men we’ve met at private parties/events. Not ones we have had first hand sexual meets with.

Why likewise do women and couples? I only say this because I had similar experiences with some women when I was a single guy on here. To be fair in my opinion its annoying but I wouldn't want to be with anyone who's not 100% into meeting up with me. Any no one owes you their time or body just because you've invested something in them. Granted I'd prefer not to be messed around especially when my biggest commodity is time. However it's better than then wasting even more time by actually meeting and spending time with someone who's not down for it.

And I think _ased on my Single experience on Fab why we generally use clubs to meet people, not fab. Everyone at a club is generally there for the same reasons. In a club you go, know there's going to be people to meet and after a couple of minutes of talking you know if there's attraction or not. If there isn't attraction you move on and find someone else. Also if its working really well you can get physical then and there (and do the same with others the same night if it goes really well). Plus if you find something that works you can always arrange something outside of the club another time. In our opinion clubs are best places to get results and to avoid getting messed around.

"why do men in particular use so many stupid excuses as to why they cant meet all of a sudden after chatting and arranging something . beyond a joke now how many times this has happened resulting in loss of money due to traveling ect to the point we now refuse to travel unless we have met before ."

I have a theory. The men that get your attention are the ones who beef themselves up so when the time comes they can’t deliver.

The normal men, much more down to earth and modest don’t capture attention so are missed.

Its not just men though is it?

Sadly this site is full of people who get a kick out of wasting peoples time.

My latest is a couple who I arranged a meet with. They were well verified locally and all seemed ok.

I booked a national chain hotel in the area and times were agreed to meet.

Come the night time ...total silence.

Next day they are displaying a new verification. So, I know Ive been bumped for someone else, but why the hell could they not just be honest and tell me.
