"What do you chat about? " We normally ask about them, what they are looking for, if we like their pictures etc. | |||

"Welcome to the world of fab... it could be that it was a single guy pretending to be a couple and then when the time came to meeting couldn't do because Mrs didn't exist. It could be that there were genuine reasons. I think the club scene and parties and socials are the best way towet people x" I think you maybe right, but surely there are genuine people in our area. I do wonder if I put people off (I'm the male) H is lovely and I think they see her and when we send out our couple picture they think she's hot he's not maybe. | |||

"Hello all, We are interested to know how many couples actually make contact, chat and arrange meets and then meet up off here. We have quite a few people message us, say they want to meet. Then after chatting for a night one of two things happen. Either we never hear from them again, or we go on to arrange a meeting usually the next weekend or one after. We chat right up to the date night, then often last min they cancel. Is this normal ? As it is starting to knock our confidence a bit. We have only met people whilst at clubs and then become friends on here." Pretty much our expereance. We have stopped trying. Instead we do clubs and socials and meet real people not fakes and time wasters. | |||

Sadly that is also the norm on here people are too quick to judge you on your appearance. I think in a club scene or social it actually gives you a chance to make a decision about that person not just based on their looks x | |||

For every person that dismisses you, there will be someone that is attracted to you. You might want to add more pictures of yourself (male) as without as many as your lovely wife it might imply that you are either just going to watch, or you're not really engaged in the whole process, and if you're hoping to meet a couple, that might put them off?....just a thought, so hope it doesn't offend. | |||

It's great to chat to like minded people even if they are not your type for swinging. | |||

"It has got worse on here the last couple of years, more chat less meets, so we have pretty much given up using fab to arrange anything. We just use it to keep in touch with those we have met and to say we will be up Chams on Saturday if anyone fancies meeting up." Such a shame, it is a really good idea, we are sort of just keeping in touch with people we've met | |||

When you network in those situations, you are dealing with someone face to face, you know that what you see is what you get. Once you start to build a network of friends and acquaintances, party invites etc should also roll in, and before you know it you will be having as much fun as you can handle. | |||

This is exactly what happens to us so we've stopped arranging to meet people off here now unless it's in a club then if they don't turn up we can still have fun and not have a wasted night. We love clubs so it suits us anyway. | |||

"Had a meet arranged today, turned up at the given address 60miles away to find out its fake, this is from someone who i have talked to on the phone, been a member for a few years and a gold site supporter, this site has gone downhill a lot since the start of the year, too many fakes, escorts and wannabes!! " Next time use google maps to check the address before you leave your house. Good luck | |||

People have been known to send others to the wrong house just for a laugh | |||

We have met a few people at clubs that we'd had some chat on here with first. And, as you say, we've kept in touch with others we have met at clubs first, on here. We have also had some great party invites from here. As for actually taking chat on here all the way to an actual meet then no, not a one. It just seems so much harder to get the web stars to align. I think there's also something about the fact that people will definitely treat people that they've only ever spoken with online in much more discourteous ways than they ever would to a real acquaintence. People definitely meet on here. It's just that the proportion who don't seem to but suggest they will is quite high and can undoubtedly put you off. | |||
