"so easy to spot most ... not gonna say how on the forums tho as guys will start to avoid there mistakes .... the biggest thing is once you know they are a timewaster then block but be prepared for them to set up another profile ...then block again .. i think the longer your on the scene the more you get to know on how to spot but also listen out for the chat in clubs/socials from couples and women they love to talk about a timewaster / messer/troll/abuser they are very rarely wrong too" Ok to dm me them? Unfortunately I haven't been to a club to chat to other single females about this. | |||

"There are all sorts of reasons why people 'time-waste'. The oldest idea is that they're unhappy in a relationship, want something but feel guilt. Then you have 'cat-fishers'. People living pseudo lives online. Then you have people who post pictures from years ago, hoping you get to know the 'real them' before you learn the truth. " My only reservation about old photos is I stopped being a silver member since covid started so I can't upload new photos and don't wish to delete my old photos. What about dodgy profile names like 'dick slayer'? | |||

"I'll have you know 'dick slayer' is one of our closest friends. It was the name that drew us to him/her/they, slightly romantic. " I actually made that name up and theres lots of profiles with variations of that name | |||

"It's really not that difficult to le out a cheating guy rather than horny single guy. The question is why you choose to be part of it. It's not 1985 anymore." Still not sure how you know they're cheating rather than horny? | |||

"Interesting ready the various responses !! As a genuine and single guy, it’s just as hard and time consuming to filter out the catfish and time wasters, rebuilding a network of likeminded genuine people is slow and painful. But as part of lessons learnt, sounds like I need to down grade my membership from “gold”, change my profile name and attend more socials !! In summary, ladies don’t forget there are genuine and fun guys out there too, just looking for likeminded playmates so please treat us fairly " Sure I know there is and met 1 so far who kept his word and was a gentleman. But I don't have time to waste on time wasters | |||

"Signs to tell you they probably will be a time waster...is it possible to see any pre-warning signs?" Yes, they won’t swap numbers, they literally have one sentence or word replies. They aren’t verified is the major one. | |||

"It helps to fix realistic expectations here. I don't think most people are compatible with most other people, including me. Thus it's reasonable to assume that most people I start chatting with, will not lead to sex with them or meetings. This could include a number of fantasists but we'd hope that most are just not going to be appropriate matches. Expect most positive starts to fizzle out. That's potentially not optimistic but it must surely be realistic, if we have fairly limited ranges of people we'll be compatible with - and on both sides. I go very slowly with everyone. No instant or fast meetings. It self-selects a lot of men out, who are in the wasting game. I'm clear upfront about it. And, of course, I don't get into erotic chat. Or give my number etc out, until meeting and they're more likely to be reliable. Take the onus of responsibility onto yourself for wasted time. Sure, the others have a part to play in it but I always believe it's me that cultivated the seeds. Then, learn each time, everything that you can, from an experience that had a poor outcome. Block new and unverified users, if you are less sure. Just don't be hard on yourself, even if you have strict rules and tried a new approach out. There will be people who have phenomenal expertise in misleading others. You can only take reasonable steps to help yourself. " Good response | |||

"you can get 100s of messages over a week and at times not one will appeal for many reasons fron simply dont like to the convo not being right ... id say trust you gut feeling if you get a 100 message and not one is right for you for what ever reason then thats about right you have to go though 1000s to find the right ones ... dont forget to block those your not interested in otherwise they will keep trying .. if i put the meet sign up messages flood in its rare to find a meet ..so glad ive long term regulars for fun as id be living like a nun ... dont ever lower your preferences/standards /wants /dislikes ....the block button is your best tool on fab use it..." Oh it's my fave tool but one bloke said I was being harsh blocking people. But you're right, save each other time. I know exactly what I like. I been on enough dates, read enough messages, met enough men to be informed what I makes me happy and comfortable. But on fab, I don't have enough experience of timewasters. Met about 6 and they all been different I think | |||

"As a single male profile, I think messages that seem too good to be true, usually are. My fwb has set up a couples profile to meet some specific scenarios. As a single guy I'm usually the one messaging. Now I find myself reviewing the messages she's received and replying too. And omg how do you couples and ladies deal either some of these guys? The most annoying ones are the fence sitters who are scared to say anything that might jeopardise their chances of a jump. "I'm a Dom but can be submissive for the right woman" As well as those with no imagination at all. "I would kiss you tenderly as I slowly stroke your body playing with your nipples then I'd go down on you making you squirt (good luck there) then I'd fuck both your holes" yawn It won't be long before you can spot genuine guys. Best advice put some effort into your profile and engage with the ones that have put some effort in and read it. Good luck, you look lovely " I'm glad to see a single guy realising how most men here are super annoying. Some send messages like I'm a prostitute, I immediately block these types now. Ones with no photos too. I have no idea how they slip through my filters but I get at least 10 a day. Then 90% talking to me like I'm an whore | |||

I totally disagree with you. I have messaged guys first and interacted in a positive way but only ones I'm intrigued by. It works the same way in real life, why would it be different online? I'm a pretty straightforward and blunt talking in my mannerism but it's also a cultural thing for me being Asian. If I like you, I will make it clear I do. I'm hoping to have my first fab meet next week, after nearly 3 years of absence. The guy was very down to earth, polite, straight talker like me. Most importantly, I found him equally physically attractive. We been in regular communication since. | |||

"Not wanting to speak on the phone first before arranging a meet and only wanting for face pics. The second they use reasons why they can't speak on the phone. In the bath/shower Kids awake Driving In 15mins time.. Etc " Well I got slammed on the forum for complaining about a guy making excuses not to speak to me on the phone. I believe now, he was just a fantasist who had no intention of meeting. Just enjoyed the chase on his terms. When I mentioned telephoning like normal people do. He agreed but baled with no apologies etc. Too many trolls in the forum said people just get too busy and forget. They missed the point that he didn't give a fuck he "forgot" by blatantly not apologizing or explaining. Then to call me demanding etc is just narcissistical. Call me old fashion, if I was meant to promise something and couldn't deliver, I would apologize at a later date. I don't think that's being demanding, expecting some apology or reason for not calling. | |||
