"It’s never happened to us but we have been ghosted a few times." I'm guessing it's a bit of a game for some leading an older man on for fun | |||

"I've never been stood up by anyone and never stood anyone up. I've had a couple of gents back out hours before the planned time of meeting and they have then blocked me. Ive had to change plans due to family reasons " I'm now giving up having sat waiting for an hour and gone unresponsive on me | |||

"Rule of thumb. If they're not well verified or verified at all, be cautious. If they start asking for shit beyond the basics of condoms or bring your own drinks (situation dependant) get the hell out of Dodge. If you get to a meet and they leave you hanging for more than 30 mins without a message (people can and do run late), leave. If they still have you waiting over an hour later without a a solid explination (its easy to check traffic or trains for example on your phone)...just pack up and go home. They're taking the piss. Yeah, some.people are genuinly caught off guard and run late through no fault of their own and.ypu can take the risk but most of the time, if someone sounds like they are mugging you off it's because they are on here. They are a hard lesson but one you only should learn once." Spot on advice. In 15+ yrs swinging together, been stood up twice. Both times by single guys... 1) A guy we were meeting went radio silent on us the night before. Decided to ring him next morning (we were going to a hotel anyway) and he answered. Caught off guard he told is his brother surprised him and flew in from Italy. We were like “fair enough but were you going to tell us?” Few days later spotted a verification (this was when we met via another site) and he had gone to a party instead! 2) We had arranged a MMMMF at an Air BnB. An hour or so before one of the guys messages saying sorry not coming. When asked why he said “too much meat”! So we had a MMMF instead lol. Otherwise been pretty lucky (and pretty switched on we hope - choosing play partners carefully and mostly meeting people via parties and clubs rather than websites and then making further arrangements for future meets) | |||

"Too many to recall. Met one at a pub for a drink. Chatted a few mins and he went inside to get me a drink. 15 mins later I get a message saying something has come up an he had to leave.... then he updated his fab to say he was looking for a meet. I mean I'm a big girl, I can take it! A "sorry no thanks" is all it takes. I think he was a little intimidated that I turned up on the motorbike lol. " Must of swapped pictures before hand? So cant be cos of that | |||

I got the bus as I hate trying to park in the city centre. Got off the bus and he clearly didn't like that it had taken me 45 mins to get that far and just blocked me. I couldn't exactly turn round and get back on the bus I had just got off so hung about for an hour till the next one. You live and learn. | |||

"I've been stood up a few times but mainly ghosted. My rule of thumb, 10 minutes waiting if they've told me they're on their way or messaged during the day. No contact the day of the meet, I won't set off anymore, most of the time my messages ate ignored for a couple of days after then a crappy excuse as to why they couldn't contact me comes along. Its hard to say who will because I've been ghosted and stood up by verified accounts with recent verifications. My ps5 is always on hand to pick up the pieces of a lost meet. " You just had to ruin it by being a ps5 gamer. I had you pegged as a PC gamer... Everyone has their dirty little secrets in here and now we know yours. I joke of course but your right. If someone can't be arsed to confirm on the run up to a meet, they are not coming and probably never intended to to begin with. | |||

Well yeah the last few years have been rather expensive on the pc front so I'll.give.you a free pass this time lol. But yes, consider it a bullet dodged. Thers a a given number of fantasist no doubt wanking off arranging meets and then bottling it on the run up on here. Comes with the territory. On one hand, sucks if you're on the receiving end. On the other, had my.share of "we got stood up, are you free now" booty calls so I'd be a liar if I said other peoples poor behaviour has not worked in my favour in the past.. But back on point. There are some obvious red flags people should be watching out for on here. Should.really.be common k owledge stuff when it comes to fab but isn't the case sadly. Dosent make meets fool proof but should make sure you're less likely to be bamboozled. | |||

" We feel the same - yes it’s nice if people are verified, but not everyone will have lots of opportunities, eg we live in a rural part of the country, there’s less of a scene, meets generally involve a night away and we aren’t into online or phone socials This is why we take a lot of time chatting to people and getting to know them rather than rushing into meeting up. We’ve found you get a feel for people after a while… F (Mrs) | |||

So many reliable folks overlooked but the trolls keep winning. " You're not wrong. We meet seperetly. Make it very clear on our couples and single profiles. We are well verified etc.etc etc. Litterally.to.the point if anything was a lie then I deserve an Oscar at this point.given the effort I've gone to, to.create and maintain a bunch of fake profiles. I've lost track of the amount of couples and single ladies I've approached on fab over the last decade who have been looking.for a single.guy just to be told "sorry, won't meet married men" just to.see the same.people crying the sites full of fakes on an update later that day or week. I'm not telling anyone who to meet. I'm.not telling anyone what their criteria should be but if your gonna decry everyone as fake whilst ignoring obvious real people due to a ridiculous "no married guys rule" especially if you're a married couple then you bring it in yourself. Yeah..there are cheats on here but plenty are not and it's not hard to take a few moments to see if there are ways to verify what the person is saying. Even better is, why do you think a single guy account is telling you the truth about not being in a relationship? Say I'm not your type, i'll.respect that at least. Have your reasons what ever they are but shouting into the void everyone is a fake because you got stood up just means youre making bad choices on here. | |||

Plus it’s a swingers site essentially so it’s kind of expected, not the cheating more the in a relationship all ready. I help couples with fantasies and take newbies to clubs. Sometimes I just want something for myself, but it just gets disappointing. | |||

"Never happened to me but I've been ghosted/blocked either the day before or morning of a meet a few times " We've blocked people on the run up to meets purely because we've said a time.and a place days before (after they asked for a meet) and they never bothered to respond or confirm. That the only time but if you can't be bothered to reply a simple confirmation then you're not likely to turn up anyway.not gonna waste the following next day "hoping" we get a message and see no reason why we should chase either.

"Just wonder how many have turned up for a meet after pre planning only for messaging to cease when you arrive and no show, happens too often" I’ve never turned up. I get the vibe or the warning before. Being cancelled in is now the norm on here. A lot of trust is needed to get me in a car nowadays. *and anyone I’ve met can take that as a compliment. | |||
