FabSwingers.com forum: improving fab ... maybe?

I've been using fab for a while and find it a very good tool but one thing the search function lacks is the ability to search by body type i.e. slim, fabulous etc. Is it that I'm doing it wrong or is it missing?

Is there anything else you think that could improve the software?

Interested to see what people think. X

Half the men on here put "Athletic" when they're clearly not. If you made it a filter, every guy here would be athletic or muscular within a day.

I agree with the above. Many people do not have the same idea for body type anyway and mark themselves as something other people don't always agree with. Probably would be pointless.

if the site did this though i'd change my body type to fabulous instead of ample.

Yes, I agree with the above...you have to take into account all these fat birds that consider themselves 'curvy' too

Same as if you could search "chilled out women" or "whiners", how many would put down whiner?

P.s you can be a bit chubby and still be athletic, athletic isn't a body type but how you use the body.

Uh, no. On here it's to denote a build, the same as slim, large etc.

Just because someone used to play rugby doesn't mean he has an athletic build. Being athletic and looking athletic are different things. Of course, what athletic looks like is open to interpretation. Most would say "a bit chubby" is not an athletic build.

Sorry guys, some of you are kidding nobody but yourselves.

As for the comment about whiners, the same can be said for men. In fact, it's more often men whining because there are more of them to whine, it's more difficult for them to get meets and they tend to be lazier with profiles and photos.

I've tried to be honest of my body shape because you'll only get caught out.

Is clothes size a good indicator?

A guy cannot be curvy...I would say you were ample

Being a bit chubby definitely UNmakes you athletic,especially when people cling to their glory days,and see themselves in their mirror of nostalgia.

We'd like to be able to search for singles that are bi. You can choose to search for couples where both are bi so why not singles?

Athletic S a body type and you cannot be chubby and be athletic. I'm now seeing how guys who say they're athletic and aren't, justify using it in their own head.

Very true. I saw someone describe themselves as "fabulous"

Put this before seeing the other 'fat bird' comments, I see it would be popular

OP just go by photos.

If there aren't any? Move on.

If you were able to search via body type you'd be reliant on people putting an accurate description down - which is both subjective and open to abuse.

Prime examples? The 'straight' bi guys and the 'vwe' guys with photos cleverly taken to hide the fact they're hung like a gnat.

Filters and search criteria are only useful if the data is accurate.

Visuals are harder to fudge.

Thank you very much...we just assumed as we are a couple then people would want to see both of us if we intend on bumping uglies with each other
