We’ve been on and off fab for about a year now and have rejoined as we’d like to meet couples and singles females.

As you can expect, we had no issues finding single men but couples and females is proving hard.

We’re looking for soft swap only as we’re new so is this the problem?

If you could have a look at our profile and let us know any potential issues, we’d be grateful.

It may be the case that most of the people around you are looking for full swing but that would be a generalisation.

I think you have a nice profile and some great pics so I'd recommend waiting things out or making the first move yourselves. Oh and ORANGE (yes I did read through the profile).

Good luck and we wish you all the best.

I’m just curious, how would soft swap work with a female? Esp if female half is not bi.

Soft swap sounds too much like the women playing together while the men watch.

Your profile looks great! I'd say the fact that you keep leaving the site and creating a new profile may be putting some off? It looks like someone who keeps getting removed from the site and making a new couples profile.

Visiting clubs would be a good way to proceed. We're very soft swap ourselves and have never had problems finding people to play with in clubs without exceeding our limits

The gf is willing to try playing with a female at least once and going from there. It’ll involve the gf and I both playing with the female using mouths, fingers and toys. Then us playing with the gf and then them giving me oral.

It may be the age of the female partner and perhaps your fairly large age gap which may mean you fall through the gap of what people are looking for at either end of the spectrum...

Thanks, yea we see what you mean.

Ok I know everyone has to try somewhere but this would put me off “willing to try” I’d be worried she really wasn’t into it at all

There doesn’t appear to be many couples that want to play this year, doesn’t matter if soft swap or full, we have it ok for parties and clubs but as for just meeting a couple on their own off here either home or hotel is a rarity this year, we don’t even look anymore lol

We think it’s nice to go out and have a bit of banter in a bar before moving onto other things, sometimes difficult in a club to hear what people are saying and not always guaranteed a play room and time can be limited

Nothing wrong from my point of view, we're not into the same things but that's not something to change it's your preference and plenty of people are into the same. I guess it's just a case of talking to more couples and finding some you click with, we must've spoken to hundreds in the last year (only meeting for 4months of that) and have met about 5 as a result of fab (some just socials) going to chams is far less labor intensive and we may switch to just that in the future.

Profile looks good. Like has been said, clubs are your best bet a lot of armchair swingers on here now apparently.

We tried Chams on Sunday but kept being followed around by 3-4 creepy guys aged 50+ who just kept staring which made us feel quite uncomfortable.

We’ll have to try a couples only night and see how we get on.

What about the other guy is he just there to sit and watch. From what you have said here seems that your gf only wants to play with you and not the other couples man. That would put me off straight away but I do hope you both get what you want and have a lot of fun doing it the way you want it.

Agreed we went to our first club about 2 weeks ago and was told that if you say no that means no and the people/ person you have said no to should take it a go else where. We tested it with a single guy and he took the no and didnt bother us for the rest of the night.

Hello!

I would doubt that it’s been “real” women who you have been chatting to online, if it’s a genuine women then maybe have a phone conversation so you can put your minds at rest that it’s a real woman and not some bloke getting his rocks off!

Good luck, there are single women out there that meet couples, you just need to be patient

Hi - your profile seems fine. It's very comprehensive, unlike ours and that doesn't seem to affect us. The only factor I can see which could be influencing your experience on Fab is the narrow age range which you have chosen. Obviously that's your decision, but most of the couples we have been in contact with on Fab are 40+

Hi, not sure, soft swap puts some off, but pics are OK and we certainly wouldn't be upset to get a message for you.

Maybe that's the issue, we find most couples seem to sit around waiting to be contacted, or are very lazy with hi how's you messages. We had one couple send us 3 of them in a row. Maybe make your opening message more interesting.

Soft swap can be as much fun and more satisfying!

Maybe you should look at Killing Kittens parties if partner aesthetics are a priority. Be prepared to get your purse out as it’s a pricey night out. Still no guarantee of play and tbh it sounds as if the ladies are there to perform for the Male half and sort him out at the end.

Very few couples or single women will want that scenario. If the female half wants to meet ladies alone then I’m sure the response would be different.

We thought some of the men were rude enough but couples should know better and at least be honest and say they ain’t interested instead of just ignoring and blocking us after sending our profile pictures.

‘Willing to try’ would not be for me. Your profile says straight so you’d be passed by. Sorry but I’d not be wanting to play with someone who just wants to see what it’s like.

I can’t see anything at all wrong with your profile!

It could just be that there aren’t many couples meeting!

You are well within your rights to meet who you like, so if under 40 is what you want, that’s fine.

There will be people who use the forums or their profile statuses who are older than 40, and will try to get your attention in hope you’ll message them and change your filters which can be annoying! A block is good for that!

I haven’t tried a club yet so I can’t recommend. I’d say stick at it, send messages yourself if you aren’t already & good luck!

Hope you get the experiences you want.

To be fair many over 40s would feel the same about you. Our children are both older than you and that just seems wrong from the perspective of NSA sex.

Given the age gap and your age, I do think that couples only club nights are your best bet.

In a club it is based on personal interaction and attraction rather that statistics. We find clubs work really well for us and rarely meet via Fab.
