"Thing is I'm finding it hard to even get a reply yet alone set up a meet. Given the chance I reckon it would be good. N But it goes back to women writing us off before giving us a chance." The fact that you are Asian is not the reason you aren't getting replies or meets. True it may not help due to the bad reputation that Asian men rightfully or wrongly have. But most white or black guys of your age also don't get meets or replies on Fab. You have come to a swingers site looking to meet women. The majority of women on swingers sites come as part of a couple, and you are not looking for that. You have also come to a site where most people are considerably older than yourself and men in their early 20s are usually considered immature and inexperienced. As it is just women you are interested in, I suspect you would finding a casual dating site more fruitful, where at least there are a fairer proportion of women. There is actually a thread going now discussing how it is easier for single men to get sex on POF/Tinder than on Fab. Mrs | |||

"I always see women having BBC or BWC on their profiles or "NO ASIAN MEN" What to do to beat this and meet some of you wonderful ladies free?" What are you implying by the word 'free',OP? Did you have expectations of paying for women here? If so, then you are on the wrong website. Such things are not allowed here. Besides, it would appear that comment along with previous comments gives the impression that you don't have a very positive view of women. As one fabber suggested, other websites/meet up platforms maybe more suitable for you. I think you've blown your chances on this one. Spectacularly. | |||

"OP its not a sprint, its a marathon... The forum see's posts similar to this daily....all saying the same thing...why cant i get a meet?? Chill, relax, the more you stop thinking this is "instashag" or the world should be on its knees begging for you the easier you will find things. Good points raised here, I meet an Asian guy at a club, wasn't keen at first but he grew on me and now I'm hooked, can't wait to see him at bmfc at xtasia on the 12th May, planning meets is best. It's more about personality for me. He's drop dead gorgeous as well and non pushy I love my time with him as he shares me and I feel safe in his company x Race, religion, ect, ect its not what's ruining your chances its that you are 1 single male surrounded by 100,000. If your that keen to meet, get to a club or a social and the most important thing is RELAX " | |||

" It's not ALWAYS. It's sometimes. " Must ALWAYS be looking at the wrong profiles. Seriously there is no point winging or moaning etc not gonna do yourself any favours end of the day you can't sway anyone's preference. Everyone has a type that they're looking for and entitled to have a choice and with are perfectly entitled too. Plus the ratio of men to women on here the opposite sex can afford to be picky with whom they reply too. Some people prefer Cheese and Onion crisps others prefer Prawn cocktail. Tho sometimes its good to have a break from the norm try something different. Like already mentioned its how you conduct yourself and hopefully you can tempt someone to try some sweet chilli crisps As they say variety is the spice of life | |||

"So I normally don't like commenting on these type of threads, as I don't want to be seen as whining. I am British Asian and treat everyone I know with respect. I have no issue with anyone not wanting to see Asians. It does hurt though when you mention you are Asian to someone after you've been chatting for a while and then silence/block. " It's no different then messaging a couple/single and them blocking you for no reason. Would you prefer them to just waste your time further? If you're not for them then there's little point carrying on. | |||

"I never meet Asians either in real life or on here nowdays; double standards, disrespectful conduct and bad attitudes towards women are the reasons. Every weekend we visit various North West Clubs and 100% of the time the disrespectful men are Asian. " They behave similarly here. However that still does not mean that the next one isn't a decent guy. But I understand that after a while, some folk will rather not risk the experience again especially when there are so many other men to choose from - Mrs. J - | |||

"So I normally don't like commenting on these type of threads, as I don't want to be seen as whining. I am British Asian and treat everyone I know with respect. I have no issue with anyone not wanting to see Asians. It does hurt though when you mention you are Asian to someone after you've been chatting for a while and then silence/block. It's no different then messaging a couple/single and them blocking you for no reason. Would you prefer them to just waste your time further? If you're not for them then there's little point carrying on. " This has been after me introducing myself and after having sent pics of myself - they have said yes they like me and would like to meet up... They have asked what's my ethnicity and then block. This is different to what you have mentioned. | |||

"Thing is I'm finding it hard to even get a reply yet alone set up a meet. Given the chance I reckon it would be good. N But it goes back to women writing us off before giving us a chance." I only read this far on the thread so far. I'd say your age and that you're a student are two things that stand more in your way than your ethnicity. | |||

But not all of them respectful or disrespectful. You get that in any culture and society. Asia is a continent of many countries and cultures. However, I will make my views clear if ANY man is disrespectful. Regardless of what continent,culture or society he is from. And, with that I'm outta this thread. | |||

Your point was a dreadful one and serves only to perpetuate division and dismissing of entire continents as exactly the same. Not only entire continents but the most populous continent on earth with an incredibly wide and varied set of totally distinct cultures which have as much relation to each other as a melon to a bathmat and trying to lump them all together as one great miasma is absurd, lazy and frankly silly. If pointing out crass racism and stupidity is bullying then the definition of the word has . You have demonstrated an ability to attack others when you don't like what they say so to go crying bully when someone criticises you is rather sad and deleterious to debate. | |||

One needs to be sober when commenting on forums Stating the general use of a term in *not* racism. Only a complete idiot would think so.

Forget that; copy and paste my comment where you *think* that I have been 'racist'. I don't think you even know what racist means. And don't suggest meaning which I have not stated in any of my comments; that is just simply paranoia Ofcourse, if you think that a racist is someone stating an obviously generally used term such as Asian, European, etc, then, there is nothing more to say to you | |||

I've met both man and ladies here who have double PhD. They don't announce it on fab. It is off putting. This site might be free, not the woman, so be careful how you write your posting. You're not entitled to anything. Race and religion is not an issue. By the way, why would you want to play with someone who doesn't like you, or generalises you in a negative category before getting to know you? Again its off putting, it comes across as desperation. Know your value. Everyone has preference, I'm sure there are ladies that you won't play with as well right? Or are you the type that shags everything that has a skirt? Your photo's, either put clear pictures of your face in private and then have a blurred face with a body shot. While your pictures look good, they say nothing. You are 23, but your conduct here is coming across as immature...maybe you are a nice guy I don't know, suggestion to you chill, go to social events and get to know people. The rest will follow. Thats all I have to say,other's have given you valuable advice as well. By the way, I'm an Asian guy as well, and swinging is just a tiny part of my lifestyle, it doesn't define me...and I get meets without much problem.

" My generation Asian guys were disrespectful towards white women. Some women like me did sort of date them, you were used behind closed doors, discarded when they then married a "nice Asian virgin". Unlike other cultures they were less likely to integrate. It may be different now however, I would not fuck one, preference not racist as I still fancy them. | |||
