FabSwingers.com forum: Honesty.

Am I being naïve getting a bit upset when people are dishonest?

I would say I'm fairly laid back but I always say the truth (however hurtful) is better than being told what you want to hear, but still people who I thought I was close to choose to tell me fluffy things to hide the truth.

Do you think that you can have long standing 'relationships' on here or are they destined to be short lived?

I thought I had made a friend for life but it turns out that was just a line to keep me in the background to pick up and drop when convenient.

Feeling a little disheartened!!

I am a half full glass person in everyday life, I love my life.

I believe very little of what I read on here and have heard the biggest load of shit from people when they needed something from me.

It is the world of the internet and the appropriate personas.

good luck

I think on this site, by definition, the vast majority are looking for no strings, casual sex. And, unfortunately, some people will play with emotions to get it. If I were single, I wouldn't come here looking for anything other than a dirty encounter.

Well that's it!! I wasn't looking for anything super serious, just some lovely sex.... The good friends 'you mean a lot to me' stuff was started by them, I sort of went along with it because let's face its nice!! Then the things they say and the things they do don't match and it left me ever so confussed!! I think I've just answered my own question about being naïve!! Haha!!

I'm a secret fat girl too. Also a convenience for busy men. It is enough for me at this moment and it makes me happy. When it doesn't I will stop. Do you really think it's different on here?

Well yes because that's what I've signed up for and that's fine by me.

What I don't like is someone pretending to like me in a dating sense to keep me where they want me. I prefer honesty... If you want me as a fuck buddy that's fine... If you want me as a one off.. Also fine, but tell me so I can make my own discision about it!!

Sounds like you're trusting your instincts- they say one thing but their actions tell a different story. Just be wary. As others have said, some people will say anything they think you want to hear. Don't feel bad. They are the problem for lying, not you for trusting them.

Honesty starts with oneself and the people that give all the bs do so because they've been dishonest with themselves first, that makes it impossible to be honest with anyone else.

I don't believe in always telling the truth no matter how much it hurts though.

I can't help but think you guys are reading too much into this.

This is a site where people look for sex.

Whatever their reasons, their situations, their attachments - it's about sex.

Just like the rest of life - there are some lovely people and there are a lot of assholes. Just don't be surprised.

There is a very strong chance that you won't meet the love of your life on Fabswingers.

Who cares??? There's always match.com

I think any single woman on here who says that she hasn't been hurt by the actions of others is probably not truthful to herself... self esteem goes out the window, self confidence in pieces... I for one have been there and it is the singularly one thing that continues to put me off this site (however, due to loneliness I always give it "one last try" / the benefit of the doubt)

With some couples we have to abide by rules... with single men the b***s***t and unless you can completely switch off your body and emotions and accept that you are wanted for one thing, and one thing only, you have to wonder if this the right place to hang out? ((hugs))

your right you do sort of have to switch off, but its hard when someones so persistant, then you start to think 'wow he quite likes me! Isn't this nice' it gives you a little boost, then you find something out and it chips away a bit of that boost, then something else comes out and then another thing and by the end of it that little boost soooooo wasn't worth it!!

When you don't know people well, they can feed you all sorts of crap here .. just to keep you happy .. and so they can pop back into your life .. I once meet a man here who lied and I only new its was all lies from chating to his sister on FB ... Made me see what a fool I was . Really upset me as I was thinking I could read people well .... But he was different so good a Narcissistic with a personality disorder .After that I found it hard to trust only my family .

Because some believe the truth won't get their cock sucked on a regular basis...and to some extent it's true. I'm not on here looking for 'the one' but when I've had men in my bed telling me they'd never date anyone from FAB then it puts me off a future meet because, whilst I may not want them in that way, I also don't like being _iewed as less worthy because I enjoy sex.

Many people will say what they think people want to hear because they don't want to come across as being insensitive. Yes it would be better if they say nothing at all rather than lie, but unfortunately it happens. Learn from it and move on...no point dwelling on it as it's only you that'll be upset

I once had a man who I saw quite regularly, tell me, after doing the deed, that men don't marry women like me... I asked him to explain what he meant? I am an educated (to degree level), well dressed, respectable woman with a well paid senior management position in a large organisation and was rather miffed that because he met me in a FAB scenario that he could then make such a judgement of my off site life... his answer?... well you're single and on here... he later went on to marry a very plain looking, stick thin, woman (wedding picture in the local paper)... I still see him around on site and chat to him occasionally and think well if that's what being married to you is like, you still need to get your kicks on here, then I'm glad I'm not the one you married !!!

I work all over the country in the entertainment biz ; at one time a fellow band mate and I had FBs all over the place. I was always honest and said this is a bit of after show fun nothing more; my colleague would always give the " my wife doesn't understand me " BS and intimate that there might be a real relationship in the offing , maybe leaving his mrs etc.. He had nothing but grief, drama and threats from upset and aggrieved women.

I personally don't see why someone who enjoys NS sex should be seen as a lesser person; equally I don't think it's fair to lead people on with the promise of a relationship when all your after is a naughty time..

As a foot note I now live with one of my FBs and moving in with a bi sex manic is possibly the best thing I've ever done

Everyone lies, often to themselves.

But taking an empathic approach towards another's feelings is no bad thing. There are usually many ways of saying the same thing, and if ultimately, such as on fab, you're not interested in someone, then just leaving it at that, rather than adding specifics such as not liking their looks, their personality etc, is usually avoidable.

The world is a hard enough place for many people, without adding insult to injury. Everyone typically has something great about them, so appreciating the good is worthwhile.

Life has given me a dose of cynicism (which is preferable to doses of something else

). I do not believe what I am told until I feel it is true. I trust in my intuition for this. That isn't to state I'll disbelieve someone just that I'll suspend what they say until it's somewhat proved/disproved by intuition (time, behaviour, actions and anything else that gets thrown in to the mix).

On the odd occasion I'll hope I have been given the truth but then that has lead to disappointment. As humans we're not infallible, but long gone are the days that I believe people are inherently honest just because I am.

Someone mentioned dating sites - it is because of dating sites I am have cynicism

. I have found more honesty here because cheaters do not have to lie to get a meet.

I think the OP and others who have experienced this type of dishonesty have made very valid points.

Most of us are here because we have an interest in sex/meeting interesting people that we otherwise may not meet in our everyday lives. I don't understand why some people feel the need to manipulate you, and as NVC said, it's not just here, dating sites can be worse.

I don't need to be flattered, misled, and lied to and I don't do that to others. Unfortunately, far too many on here say one thing and do another. I'm sure a lot of it is that they don't want you meeting anyone else, and want you at their beck and call, whilst at the same time, they continue to meet others regardless. They're the sort who then feign surprise when you, understandably call them out on it. They might even put up a status update reminding everyone that "it's just no strings sex peeps!", yet they're the ones who start with all the promises, and of course if you're human, you're going to want to go along with it.

All of us have a vanilla life alongside what goes on on here. Therefore no one, unless very naive, will reveal everything about themselves.

I am always polite ,respectful and friendly to whoever I meet or contact. I would hope that is not mistaken for anything more than common courtesy.

I believe that we should get the maximum enjoyment out of the time we are together but not expect any more from it.

I am sorry this lady feels deceived but hope that she realises there are many decent people in this community who treat each other with great respect.

...Up on the Downs

Some terrific posts on this thread, I agree with most. To my mind it is so unnecessary to use 'dating site tactics' on here and bullshit to get into someone's knickers - were all here for the same thing!! But they do do it, and some are very skilfull and machiavellian at it too!! I too have experienced the smooth deceiver who pretended to love me etc (after one night? Yea right, pull the other one mate!) just to try to keep me exclusive and available for a few weeks, presumably while he set up the next victim.

I am damn sure there are some narcissists on here, and probably quite a few NPD/borderline too. Oh and they are good, some are skilled seducers who can make you feel like a goddess.

But any lie is a 'violation of expectation' - we should be able to expect people to be honest, that is how it is supposed to be!! I think it's a damn shame in a site like this, it would be so easy if everyone was honest, so much more healthy, sex can give us all such a boost! People say 'oh it's only nsa' - but NO, if you dump a load of bull on me to get it that *IS* attached baggage, it spoils the whole deal! "Oh the sex was great but he was a lying toad". Who needs it?

And yet cynicism is the only defense and I resent that - I want to stay with a lifelong philosophy of 'innocent until proven guilty' but in order to protect myself against that constant violation I would have to be guarded at least, take everything with a pinch of salt, suspend both belief and disbelief until time proves one or the other.

Handsome is as handsome does - words mean nothing, someone's behaviour will reveal their true attitude eventually.

I think we all get different things from this site. For me it was replacing some bad memories and creating some fun ones..

Yes some guys promise all sorts... Yet don't deliver...others think some affection is a marriage proposition...

But its the same for single girls from a guys _iew... They think we stand them up.. We scim off the best .... We are in control and blame us if they don't get meets.

I love the honesty of the majority of people on here... On dating sites you can hardly say I've had two meets this week and still be in with a chance...

I feel safer with married men as they don't stalk like some of the single guys ( message after message ) yet I get used to feeling used... But hey my choice... I'm happy for now.

Take every experience on its merits... Good and bad... Amazing the amount of genuine, truthful, fun and sexy people on here... A few bad eggs but that's the nature of life

Not at all I feel the same. Been chatting to a guy for a while now and he's local and said he'd take us to a party Saturday so booked time off work and everything. He's now turned around and said he's going with someone else! And then he wonders why I'm annoyed. Some men have no respect for women.

I do know where you are coming from and I see your side of things.

No, people shouldn't lie. There is no need. People still will all the same.

You can only get hurt by someone if you let yourself get hurt.

This is why I said further up not to give them the power to hurt you, take that power yourself.

This site will always attract idiots I'm afraid, that doesn't mean you still can't enjoy your time here.

I'm not sure that is so - at least not without becoming something I don't want to become.

Sure 'Don't be taken in ' is a partial defense - but in order to do that I have to become defensive and cynical to some degree, ie no longer take anyone I ever talk to at face value.

Sure, one can decide to expect nothing from anyone, expect them to all be worthless bullshitters, or just plain not give a damn about them. But that's not much of a turnon to me though, I don't do instant club sex, I like sleeping with people I think are decent and genuine!! Catch 22 maybe.

My point is always that lying to someone is always a 'trespass', never without cost.

How do you do this?? People often say this to me (I'm a natural mug!!) But HOW do you do it?!! I'm never going to be super hard, that's one of the GOOD things about me!!

How do you suggest I stop people treating me like that?? Xx

Don't give them the power to be able to tell you, take it yourself.

One thing iv learnt in life is men say these nice things because they don't know how to act around a female. They think that's what we want to hear. I personally am strong enough mentally to want to meet men for sex only and not be friends etc. You say your on here out of lonelyness as much as I can empathize, your obv not on fab for the right reasons sex. If your wanting to make friends do yourself a favour and don't get used cus that's what allowing to happen. Each meet is distroying your self esteem.and read womenstalk.com

It saddens me to know your on here to fill the gap. X

I personally can't see the point in lying and trying to deceive someone in order to have sex

I prefer to be up front and honest, I've always stated that I'm not looking for a relationship, I even have that on my profile

But I don't go out of my way to hurt anyone so I can get my leg over

I'm honest and open because I would like who ever I meet to want to meet me again and again, it may be NSA sex but doesn't mean you can't build a friendship out of that

Everyone has a right to be treated with a bit of respect whatever reason their here for!! Pleanty of people make friends on here, I have, its just this one incident got me thinking and I decided to share!! She didn't mean she loses self esteem after every meet, just the ones that lie.

I don't think anyone uses this site in the same way, there's no right or wrong... Its just about learning what's right for you!!

I went on the site you suggested..... I'm not sure how it would boost ones self esteem?? Am I missing something??!!

this is indeed the case... it is the ones that have hurt me that cause lack of self esteem but I've also had meets that I have thoroughly enjoyed

and for all the right reasons xx

I have enjoyable meets with a few regular, long term playmates & I've learnt over time to just let the nice stuff they say wash over me, I think guys feel a need to try & make you feel 'special' & get carried away with it sometimes. I work on the principle that none of these guys know me so how could they possibly make such comments, if only they realised the sex would be just the same without it, I don't need such comments & tend to take them with a pinch of salt x

I accept that most of things told on here is not true and that way can be pleasantly surprised when a rogue truthful one comes along

When I asked one man why his profile and messages kept changing he said he would say anything to laid - now him I believe lol

"Am I being naïve getting a bit upset when people are dishonest?

Do you think that you can have long standing 'relationships' on here or are they destined to be short lived?

I thought I had made a friend for life but it turns out that was just a line to keep me in the background to pick up and drop when convenient.

Feeling a little disheartened!!

Everyone here is dishonest, none of us would admit to being wankers

Of course OP is right to be upset with deceit. But I have found this site liberating - it has greatly contributed to my current ease with myself. I tried to suppress the part of me that is bi when married as well as my tendancy to become sexually bored rapidly. Here I do not pretend to be anything else other than that what I am. Every lady I meet gives me something different and I think of all my fab fb as friends. I am not physically jealous and have found my honesty an asset. Truth can be harsh. I believe I can be tactful without being dishonest. Truth is also profoundly liberating! I am living proof that the truth does set one free!

What you have on this site is a cross section of society, it should be of no surprise that there are dishonest and hurtful people on here, but like a miner who is looking for that precious stone you have to sift through a large amount of c**p before you find the diamond you are looking for.

The best way to go is to be optimistic about the future and learn from every bad choice, and never give up.

"I find in the outside world I generally get used for secret fat girl sex!! Hence why I'm on here so at least its a bit more honsest and I don't expect anything else.

I don't. .. because I wouldn't allow it....

On fab I can be the secret fat girl sex if I want to be.... but I can choose the very sexiest or most physically or personalitywise attractive men I might never connect with in real life... and just enjoy the moment...

Unless we tell our freinds and family what we do on the site are we all not living a lie to a certain degree? Sites like this will inevitably attract the users and the liars but you have equal chance of meeting one of them down your local. At least on here you tend to find out a tad quicker. Normally when you arrange to meet and they go into "hide profile" mode or the bullshit excuses commence

"Well yes because that's what I've signed up for and that's fine by me.

Don't give them the power to be able to tell you, take it yourself. "

Amen to that.

This comment really makes me sad for bigger women and those who feel insecure about themselves. I'm a fat girl in most people's estimation but I would rather go without sex for the rest of my life than settle for sex feeling that I was some guy's secret or because I didn't feel worthy of being treated with respect and honesty.

If we allow/expect men to treat us badly why should we assume they will treat us differently?

I'm not saying all men do, I know from personal experience that there are plenty of decent guys on Fab who treat women well irrespective of their build.
