"Came onto fab with no expectations but rather with an interest in exploring my new found lack of inhibitions due to a life event. Now I can absolutely accept for a single male the odds are against you but it's made even more frustrating by time wasters and no shows. Makes it worse when you see on updates people complaining about time wasters and no genuine guys but they not willing to give a newbie with no social a chance. Anyone else find even that first social difficult to get." You can get a first social by going to a social event, they can be found by searching the forum. Couples also encounter a lot of time wasters, we can vouch for that. Personally we go to clubs where real players go. | |||

"Yeah starting to learn that, shame people won't give me a chance, genuine as they come" Strangely, but with a 60% no-show rate, the most common assurance we get is that they're genuine and won't waste our time. Unfortunately we're one of those couples now that won't meet anyone who doesn't have a meet verification within the past twelve months. (Bry) | |||

"Thanks mate any advice massively appreciated, hoping can get going as have no interest in a relationship again " You're a good looking guy and bisexual too which ticks boxes for us...but your bio reads like 99% of other mens on here. Couples and women are inundated with messages and most of us will look at your profile before opening a message. I'm sure your life changing event is worth hearing about but if you don't want to write it out a hundred times then just be upfront, it's like trying to get a face pic out of someone, spending a while chatting only to finally see it and then realising you're not attracted to them. Plus you don't mention what's on offer from you? You say you're after like minded people but what does that mean? We don't know what you your mind is like. It's a two way street, people aren't here to fulfil your desires, they're after a common ground where everyone can explore them together. So if you don't want to be messed around, be specific so you can find those that are a proper match for you. | |||

"Most here will have experienced time wasters at some point. The last time I did, his profile went into a long description of how reliable he was and that he’s never a no show ! Luckily you do get better at spotting them as time goes on " You'd think !. We first joined ten years ago and even the most genuine looking profiles are no guarantee. The classic is those who claim great interest then mid conversation dissapear for days or weeks to return claiming they were busy ![]() ![]() | |||

You say you came with no expectations but just a couple of months in have already bought into the concept that the odds are against single males and people don't give newbies a chance. That sounds to me as if there are some expectations. 🤷♂️ The odds aren't against single males. They're definitely against 'some' single males, just as they are against some couples and equally some single women. Because having any expectations will generally lead to disappointment. The site facilitates contact between people, nothing more. And there no guarantee that any contact you proactively make will result in even a reply, let alone an ongoing conversation or an actual meet. There are plenty of things you can do to increase the odds of any of the above happening. Put more effort into your profile and photos than you do a message, as the majority will view and read that long before any message you send. Nothing to interest in a profile usually means a message won't get read. Be in it for the long game, not a quick fix because you have the horn. Whilst some do meet for spontaneous sex many want a conversation first, a fair bit of dialogue, maybe a purely social meet. If any chat dives straight into sex and meeting then the chances of being duped, stood up or just being strung along by someone sat behind a keyboard knocking one out increases significantly. And yes.....organised socials and clubs. You're not guaranteed sex but you are guaranteed to actually meet people face to face. There's no better way to show others your personality and network. They can lead to future meets, introductions to friends of people you chat to and offer the chance to build a reputation as someone worth talking to. It took me a while when I first joined 17 years ago to get a few 1-2-1 meets under my belt. Once I'd started approaching things as more of a social activity and incorporated clubs and events I often struggled to find free time in my diary. If people want to stick to purely online approaches that's their choice entirely. But it will always limit options, be a much harder graft and increase the risk of let downs. But the choice is entirely theirs. 🤷♂️ | |||

"Same. Read a profile of local lady. Seem ideal match. Sent a very polite email intro, no text speak, no crude expletives, no dick pics. She deleted with no reply. Manners cost nothing as they say. " That's not bad manners though. Just because she seemed like an ideal match to you, she evidently felt differently. It's no different to my local Chinese takeaway dropping menus through my door. I love food. I hate Chinese. I don't call them to tell them, I just put the menu in the recycling. 🤷♂️ | |||

"To be honest, no, not at all, it's extremely easy to get a social and get verified. There are tons of group socials you can pop along to and ask to be verified, tons of clubs again they'd verify you or there's the cam rooms where someone would verify you. That green tick isn't some magical thing that makes meeting any easier though. It only takes a wee bit of effort to get a verification. " Absolutely this! There’s a new solo female profile in my local updates, been here 8 weeks now, and just posted her 8th meet veri this morning (that’s 8 different guys btw)! She clearly didn’t find it difficult to get her first social veri, and is obviously putting some effort in……. ![]() | |||

"More the fact if ya havent been verified ya dont get looked at altho any new female site supporter with no pics or anything gets verified within an hour or so dosent make sense! " Those are the fakes, and easy to spot. And we don't meet guys without their own meet verifications as the two biggest common denominators in our no-shows are distance and lack of meets verifications. We're just fed up of giving people chances. (Bry) | |||

"More the fact if ya havent been verified ya dont get looked at altho any new female site supporter with no pics or anything gets verified within an hour or so dosent make sense! " People may well look. You won't know though because the majority of women and couples browse in stealth mode. If they don't see anything of interest they won't get in touch. When there's an abundance of well crafted profiles with detailed text and a number of varied and interesting photos, are they likely to message those, or a profile that has little but dick pics and a line or two that essentially says 'looking for fun/up for anything/ask me to find out more' ? 🤔 Because there's literally hundreds, if not thousands of those out there that aren't doing themselves any favours in terms of appealing to their desired audience. There's every opportunity given to stand out. It's nobody's fault if someone chooses not to bother attempting to do just that. If people want others to message them then maybe a little more time and effort on a profile might help. | |||
