Have you ever come across a profile and assumed that somebody was out of your league and so not bothered to even try or do you just ping them a message regardless?

100% agree but it’s interesting - we assumed it was more likely that because it was the internet that people wouldn’t feel this way. Wouldn’t have given it any thought but we’ve been told that about ours which is laughable.

People are just people at the end of the day and we all have such a wide variety of tastes that it totally makes sense that you should never presume anything.

If you do one thing this weekend you have to reach out to somebody you normally wouldn’t (respect filters etc) and take the chance.

We’ve all had a reminder of late just how short life is-live it! xx

I have the word professional mentioned in our profile but only to relay to people veiwing I dont have public face pics for this reason,I also agree that it means nothing on here but dont think it puts people off messaging you.

Never felt intimidated by anyone’s profile. I’m out of the age range of many though. However there have been numerous occasions where my age has been overlooked and people contact me anyway. I know my worth and leagues never enters my head, but, for what it is worth I wouldn’t be interested in anyone who thought they were out of my league anyway.

London/Essex... ish... Romford to be exact

Not a matter of scared of being rejected, I just know they are setting the bar which is above my level.

People may stipulate 5 star hotels and exceptional profiles whatever that means. I assume this is the top percentile of conventionally good looking people.

Plus it doesn't interest me when people just list of their own 'wants'. It's like a job application or box ticking exercise. Jumping through hoops for someone doesn't really excite me. If I feel they are out of my league in terms of looks but their profile seems friendly and interesting I will take a chance and message. Worst outcome is getting deleted or ignored. If I still can't handle it now then I really shouldn't be here for purposes of meeting.

There are certainly profiles I'd avoid. Any with a great deal of physical preferences or demands. Especially those who put down other's.

If you understood my statement, it clearly states that I don’t mention it on my profile..

Professional means someone who has a professional qualification in usually law,medical or engineering..

It doesn’t mean someone who works in a call centre and worked their way up to heap of HR lol

Being a guy, every female profile is by default automatically out of my league.

Many are not intimidating, but the ones that are, are a good read & facinating, byt just no point in sending a message.

Would be interesting to see how many women actually go for a normal guy who would otherwise have been seen as under-league

Basically all female profiles on here are out of my league. With most, I never bother to try. What's the point of me sending a message to someone who's looking for a body builder with a 10 inch cock?

We saw a profile that we thought was well out of our league, as their pics were regularly in the top fabbed list. After fabbing a few of their pics, to our surprise, they fabbed a whole load of ours.

About six months of messaging later, we got to meet them, only to be thoroughly disappointed at how crap they were when it came to the fun part. The grass is not always greener on the upper end of the top fabbed pics list.........

This

When I first came on here, I'm ashamed to admit that I would sometimes read verifications and think "christ...they're an unlikely pairing...." but you never really know what goes on via the pm exchanges or whatever else in the build up to meeting someone. I can knock someone back (or be knocked back !) because I don't find them attractive. But the "league" talk is unnecessarily disparaging I think.

Realise you used the phrase referring to other folk you would potentially be interested in and not the other way round OP

There are a lot of people on my hot list i would love to chat to, but there is no way i will message them - 10 years on fab has taught me that there are 'leagues' and i am not in the premier one.

Any messages i send are normally chatty and maybe a little silly, i love to write naughty stories but would never dream of sending one as a first message and as for asking to meet anyone ....... no chance !

All the time. We don't see the point in trying to contact anyone who says they wants a, b or c when we are x, y or z. People want what they want and if we are clearly not it, we just dont bother. If we are wrong, nothing to stop them saying hello to us first though.

You mean, you're not a trannie football hoolie?

And it’s the profiles that are obviously run by the males ..

And the use of the word “ professional “ as if that actually means anything on this site ..

I probably out earn most on here but nowhere on my profile do I state this, as it’s immaterial.. I'm the female half of a couple and also the main user.

I have the word professional mentioned in our profile but only to relay to people veiwing I dont have public face pics for this reason,I also agree that it means nothing on here but dont think it puts people off messaging you. Stating that you out earn most on here is slightly presumptuous though is it not?

If you understood my statement, it clearly states that I don’t mention it on my profile..

Professional means someone who has a professional qualification in usually law,medical or engineering..

It doesn’t mean someone who works in a call centre and worked their way up to heap of HR lol

Yeah, I do.

It's not like I don't understand people like different things and types because I totally get it, yet when it comes to me.. well, I just question what I could offer if that makes sense.

I'm not even sure what/who I'm looking for at the moment, if anything at all, so that doesn't help.

Fairly often we come across these profiles, we get a few winks and messages from people we also think is out of our league so we either ignore if it's a wink or politely make an excuse.

I'm the same and there are even fewer who have tv/ts on their profiles.

Of course, but not in the sense that most people see it.

In the past I've looked at a profile and looked at the verifications.

If they're all from good looking, gym fit, floppy haired mid 30's guys it's kind of pointless me wasting time messaging.

If I look nothing like the people they meet, clearly I'm not in that league.

Sometimes it’s not so much that the people are “ out of my league” - no one on here is out of any others “ league “ but that after a while you get a feeling of who might just ignore you so you have wasted the time writing a message - and I never just “ copy paste”.

Therefore I just decide it is better to look for people who are more genuine and might at least respond , even if to say they are not interested- which is absolutely fine

Happily there are lots of nice people on here

We always try to be friendly to everyone and will often chance a wink to a profile that interests us.

Often though, we don’t expect a response as we think they’re looking for younger than us, or have specifics that rule us out.

We’ve been pleasantly surprised in the past though and the people we thought were ‘out of our league’ had had the same misguided thoughts about us.

There are lots that look like they want a scenario out of a hard core pirn film and they post profile pictures to match. Good luck to them but I always think I'd be so out of my depth I'd be a key down for them. I suppose it's about focussing on the profiles you think make you comfortable and leaving others to find their own partners.

I find the biggest issue to be age.

So many profiles look promising until I get to the age bit One profile in paticular I am one year above the upper limit. I respect the individuals choice and will not attempt to message or wink even if the site would allow it.

Another thing is people posting a status requesting help, even with non sexual things, and when you message with an offer of assistance it gets lost in all the other messages, deleted or just ignored. Its a bit offputting.

It's not that I think someone is out of my league per se, because I'm bloody amazing (honest).

I do have a peek at their verifications, and if they're all from beautiful women then I do make an assumption that they're not going to be interested in someone that looks like a potato in drag so I don't message. Daft really, but it's the assumption I make.

I think if I was only one year out I'd give it a bash if they hadn't blocked my age group. Maybe the answer would be no, but it's not like it's 20 years out.

I seem to have a rather intimidating profile so im told when guys mail .

Hasnt put them off mailing though.

I think after a certain time (14) yrs on fab . I know what interests me and what wont .

I used to have a funny profile but after a good many years it needed a revamp as my tastes had changed. I no longer met couples and only interested in single lads .

So thought it best to let folks know.

Yes i probably could have worded it better but who the hell reads them really .

But im a pussy cat really . Tiger only comes out much later .

Id never think of anyone being below me to meet with them . Its the banter gets me not looks .

We don't feel intimidated as such, but we do feel that some people are out of our league and wouldn't give us a second look, so we don't bother sending a message.

We have a few on our hotlist that fall into that category, so we just look at their profiles and fantasise.

We're probably the wrong people to answer this - we're realistic about how much time we have to meet others, and we're not shopping for people who think they are in the premier league, since that doesn't exist...

However, guess what? No-one is out of our league. They may choose not to play in our league, but we think we're the best shags we've ever had, and that's what matters. We reckon people like us might also have that experience of us - there are no leagues, just maps where those who are congruent with us might find the chance to have some fun.

Oh get over yourself.

I have more than one professional qualifiation, as defined by post nominal letters. So does Ms Icebreaker, who is a leader in her (post nominal confirmed and regulated) profession. Do you need to know this in order to decide if you want to have sex with us? If you do, guess what? You're not for us. I want to be desired because of my sexuality and my attitude to gender, not my CV, which is boring as fuck.

All the time. If anything we tend to even reject the ones we think are "too beautiful" for us for fear of disappointment!! How ridiculous is that?! Although lots of verifications are terrifyingly intimidating so whenever we see those it's always a no anyway.

Some of the stuff I've posted on here is pretty childish, but I'd like to think I can be serious when it's appropriate too. Difficulty is getting those two sides of my personality across in a first message.

Most people seem to be talking about not having a chance with people they see as out of their league... what happens if they say yes and then you have to try and live up to their expectations?

"all the time and when you bite the bullet and message with an ice breaker it goes down like the Titanic. Why bother? Its why i let my paid membership lapse

Depends what you call an ice breakers! Guys and even couples who start with 'how's you', 'hi' or other 2-3 word messages, don't stand a chance in hell. Constantly astounded how thick and unimaginative people are. Instant delete I'm afraid.

I am not a 3 word messenger. Lol. I usually try to be polite and maybe a bit funny. Last couple I messaged said I was childish and blocked me. "

For some people you cannot win. Strangely I find that it’s the ones with very little in their profiles that are so easily offended by your childishness/banality/rudeness/directness or any of the other usual negative things thrown back at you.

I increasingly think that it's the unassuming (no red flags but not too overdone) profiles that lead to the most interesting people.

Anyone I've thought was out of my league, wasn't.

"Yes

Mostly couples..

And it’s the profiles that are obviously run by the males ..

And the use of the word “ professional “ as if that actually means anything on this site ..

I probably out earn most on here but nowhere on my profile do I state this, as it’s immaterial.. I'm the female half of a couple and also the main user.

I have the word professional mentioned in our profile but only to relay to people veiwing I dont have public face pics for this reason,I also agree that it means nothing on here but dont think it puts people off messaging you. Stating that you out earn most on here is slightly presumptuous though is it not?"

Absolutely not. The stats say that people from Knob Creek usually earn more than anyone else in the country. Wonder why....

Yes but not so much from their profile pictures more from their demands on their profile write up.

Some, not many do come across as being so far up their own backside, its unreal. I wonder how they ever meet because they typically looking for someone that doesn't exist

I generally have a rule of thumb: if they come across as arrogant or too many ‘demands’ in their status/profile,I generally give them a miss.

I find those traits unattractive.

We all have our likes and dislikes though. We can’t all be someone else’s ‘Cup of Tea’-but confidence is something you should all have,if you’ve signed up to a swinger’s site.

Know your worth but don’t treat others with contempt,or that you’re doing them a favour.

We’re all here for fun. Treat others as you wish to be treated yourself.

(There’s waay too much philosophy in my response-but you get the gist).

Have fun!

Sometimes U.K

Perhaps not out of my league but usually they are just not my type, even if they continually insist otherwise.

I have had some lovely winks and messages with attachments during these last 4 months. It's like I am picking up from where I left off prelockdown! I am just being myself as I have always been and things always work out for the better.

Happy days. I been smiling every day and given the circumstances as a singleton that has been a blessing. Thank you Fab

we will chat with anyone so nothing puts us off unless the profile says they are not interested in couples in which case we respect their preferences.

Boom!

Everyone that knows me will love this:

"If you want to be loved be lovable"

Cor blimey! What a line and that is exactly what we should all be doing. Let happiness thrive and plenty of love to go around on Fab

Lovely thread and I can't wait to share the love with my known fellow like minded friends that I have known for years on here. Some new friendships have been forming over the last 4 months so will explore when the time is right x

If a profile interests us we will send them a nice message to see what they think. Most reply, some don’t but as in life - nothing ventured, nothing gained. The worst that can happen is they say no thanks or no reply

If I think someone is hot I’ll message them and say they look great in their pics. The vast majority reply to say thank you - most start a decent conversation - a few end up in a very hot meet (or did do pre covid).

Fortunately for me I’m not remotely insecure - if someone doesn’t fancy me that’s not an issue. But if they do - GET IN!!!
