Ok reading forum posts etc, I seen alot of couples and single females complaining being ghosted, let down, stood up etc by single men.

Then, I read every day single men complaining they never get meets and how to improve their profiles.

Can we ever reduce the rejection/disappointment from both parties? Why men, who clearly competing with alot of other men, not turning up to meets?

Oh, I would love to know why men are such let downs! But apparently every man in the forums would never do that.

Not all men are let downs. Maybe he got cold feet by being let down himself.

He tried his luck and most probably didn't expect a response but did then got cold feet it happens if your one who gets rejected alot, it's a blow to their self esteem.

Ok there's trying your luck and there's talking about meeting but don't actually want to meet. Such a time wasting experience. Seriously, people shouldn't be doing that! I prefer honesty and totally ignore the ones who sound like they're trying their luck.

Then the solution is cam chat beforehand or live pic? Surely that can't be difficult if people intend to meet?

And I totally agree with you but something could have happened why he couldn't make it. If he did not turn up and ghosted you without an explanation after, then there is no excuse and he's a total prick, makes the rest of us look bad. Maybe he's one of those that are time wasters and never had any intentions of meeting up with you in the first place there are both males and females that do it on this site sadly.

He has got to be a world class idiot to have done that to you.

Happened a few times for us, even had a hotel booked for someone to cancel an hour before arriving. No matter how long or much you talk to someone there’s always a chance they will bail but we always keep that in mind and enjoy ourselves just incase to save disappointment!

The people that successfully meet don't post complaining about it, only the ones that don't get meets and the ones that get stood up. If only there was a way to match up men not getting meets with people who get stood up....

Regarding your second paragraph: Only a vanishingly small number of Fab users ever even look at the forums. I'd suggest that the guys who care enough to post here probably wouldn't stand up a meet, whereas the guys who would stand up a meet wouldn't bother with the forums.

That said: I bet there are guys posting in the forums saying "I'd never stand up a meet" who *would* do so, but since they don't get meets in the first place, they don't know they'd bottle it if they did.

Many reasons guys dont turn up and vice versa sex is a commodity you dont need but love every now and again, some more than others, so for guys they have a wank, the car broke down, they met their mates, good film on, theyre just ignorant, they lied, they bottled it, pics dont reflect a true image etc etc.

Women are slightly different husband came home unexpectedly, they bottled it, self worth issues, nothing to wear, hairs a mess or a better offer came up

Theres probably a large number on here using it as wank foder. Probably attached, doing it behind there partners back, needing abit of excitement. But when it comes to the crunch they can't do it.

Doesn't help those that are genuinely trying to meet people, or those that are being let down.

Somebody above was saying about some guys loving the chase and I agree with that. You look on here and any profile i look at from a point of if they are they verified by more than 1 person and recently. The amount of odd balls in here who set up fake profiles is scary, the same kind of people who have not got a single intention of meeting but go through the motions of pretending and probably sitting at home wanking off over it. Married guys who aren’t getting the sex they desire getting a cheap thrill out of it in their head of this fantasy of meeting someone new to release the frustration but having no intention of actually going through with it.

Nothings going to be 100% but gut instinct, verifications and I guess luck is all part of trying to reduce the possibility of a let down. But also maybe a way of reporting it (no idea how) so other profiles don’t suffer the same but that again could never be policed correctly.

Because the most sought after parties all go for each other. The beautiful people have choices so more likely to let you down and be disrespectful.

I have been let down last minute, ghosted, and suffered no-shows by single females and couples on several occasions

I agree, and having been ghosted by one particular woman, who arranged to meet me, didn’t show, but displayed a veri from another guy the next day, ‘disrespectful’ is a kind term…..

I've lost count of the amount of times I've been let down at the 11 hour by couples, I'm a single bi male..... If you had no intention of meeting me why bother wasting both of our times with the messages in the first place. I've never stood anyone up, even if we've meet up and it wasn't right, just have a chat, say your sorry and walk away.

I see single females local to me complaining similar, and have wondered the same, as there are any number of guys in the area, they really are spoiled for choice! I feel it is just attention-seeking, as female friends in here tell me they are never short of offers, so why would these who complain be any different……?

Perhaps the final hour or so, leading up to the meet, should be live video, to confirm their behaviour

Ive had to cancel short notice before and messaged and made it clear it wasn't ghosting or me pulling out but an inconvenience I couldn't avoid. I apologised and offered to rearrange but 'I only got one shot"-which inkindgr understand

Partly because you get a high percentage of freaks on here too. The good with the bad and all that. I had a 'couple' messaging me last week about meeting, had me driving about 35 miles in total being messed around.

When I was outside 'their' house, a local tranny was messaging me asking to meet (and this is a small, quiet village during the night) and then the couple said that his Mrs had said that he has to suck me off to completion in the car only and that was all she wanted.

It was clearly the same person fucking me around.

Thing is once someone's verified, the account is permanently verified and some people abuse that.

I was let down last night. Lot's of chat on here. Exchanged face pics etc. Agreed to him coming over to my place for a meet then... Nothing. He was online but not opening my message. Well, not for over an hour. A total waste of time and effort. He's now blocked but it was as of he just didn't want me to get a meet so dragged things on and on until almost 11PM last night.

There must be something genuinely lacking with these people.

You have to go through with it. If people were honest and just said can we meet I’m nervous if we don’t do anything is that ok. A lot is pressure we put on ourselves too, yes there is people who will try to take the piss.

And some of it is what if some I know finds out family or friends.

I've never been ghosted so far on here anyhow. Everyone who I arranged to meet has turned up. But then I do tend to chat for a while before I arrange a meet on here when I am meeting. It's worked for me so far.I must either be very lucky or else my bullshite radar is pretty spot on.

I don't cam or send live pics before a meet if someone pushes for either then I won't carry on chatting I don't feel I need to prove I'm real to anyone at this stage on here.

We had a guy a month ago ghost us close to the meet. Heard nothing despite trying to get in touch with us. He said there had been a death of a family friend. We had that precise situation happen to us currently so touched a nerve with me.

A week later he was keen to apologise and re arrange a meet, unfortunately I was desperately trying to hold a family member together leading up to the funeral.

I just don't think he got that temporarily our lives turned upside down. He seemed to be all ok after his experience but felt really tactless when I had to remind him that things with us were so very difficult and that meets weren't on our list of thoughts.

Without reading the entire thread fully, We think there are a lot of men who come on here without knowledge of other halves...they chat, get excited about the idea and then when it comes to them meeting and possibly cheating.... they freak out and ghost.

We have cancelled meets last minute, but in truth, thats been down to historic medical issues which means sometimes we genuinely have to cancel with little notice given. Its not happened often (or recently) and we hated doing it.

I think you’re spot on , vast numbers of men just shouldn’t be here as they are not ‘available’ to meet, and some women do need to wise up a little and choose more carefully if they continually get stood up and/or ghosted.

There are plenty of exceptionally hot, well verified men here to choose from who won’t let them down

Thought this was going to have some tips on ironing those hard to iron garments

But seriously a lot of people love the idea of the fantasy but when it's time to put that into reality the bottle goes. Yes it's frustrating when you've set up baby sitters a hotel or what ever it is you needed to do, this can be from anyone not just the single blokes I guess.

We used to do the fem to fem phone call and a social meet first when I was with my late partner, this seemed to out the fantasist as we could enjoy the drink on our own should they not turn up. That or we would arrange to meet at a club where if no show least the night wasn't a total failure.

Hi op.

I used to get a lot of let downs but seem to be fairly lucky in recent years.

However I tend to:

Meet a lot less often these days

Move over to WhatsApp and chat on there a few days before meeting

Don’t sext, phone sex etc but DO have a normal chat before meeting to see if there’s chemistry

Always have a social before a sex meet

Not all socials have turned into sex meets - but all socials have turned up and been pleasant.

"We had a guy a month ago ghost us close to the meet. Heard nothing despite trying to get in touch with us. He said there had been a death of a family friend. We had that precise situation happen to us currently so touched a nerve with me.

A week later he was keen to apologise and re arrange a meet, unfortunately I was desperately trying to hold a family member together leading up to the funeral.

Some people really don't give a shit about the people they're meeting- only their own situation matters to them.

See it as a positive, you know what type of person he is and no need to have anything else to do with him.

Hope you are ok (as can be) now.

Had a couple stand me up twice.. Husband claims the wife got cold feet. Second time he insisted she was good to go then ghosted.... Anothdr occasion i got hit from the back on my way to a meet.. Showed her pics of the accident and she was understanding but reluctant t to arramge another meet... Despite that, had many others that went off without a hitch

They were one of three things;

Fantasists with no intention of meeting;

Nerves got the better of them at the eleventh hour;

You were a ‘Plan b’ in case their first choice let them down

I think these are the most accurate and simplest answers.

The first one especially being the most likely.

Id also add...a genuine reason for cancelling. Car breaking down, family emergency. Because real life does happen now and again. But from what ive read previously...it seems to happen alot before a meet

"Ok reading forum posts etc, I seen alot of couples and single females complaining being ghosted, let down, stood up etc by single men.

Then, I read every day single men complaining they never get meets and how to improve their profiles.

Can we ever reduce the rejection/disappointment from both parties? Why men, who clearly competing with alot of other men, not turning up to meets?

Confused

Women are slightly different husband came home unexpectedly, they bottled it, self worth issues, nothing to wear, hairs a mess or a better offer came up

Yep had this before too. Including meeting someone that said 'oh you've been with guys before that's not for me' whilst I was on my way to the meet. We'd discussed it.

At least you didn't ghost. But yes, I wouldn't of bothered if someone last minute cancelled on me too. It's a massive turn off"
we were meeting after work, and the colleague relieving me was in a car accident. I realise it can be frustrating but I wasn't exactly in control of the situation!

"You think in theory, if they gone through all that trouble chatting, they turn up"

I'd think the same too. Also, it's really difficult for me to get a meet via Fab, so every meet that I do get is an extremely valuable opportunity that I don't want to miss. The effort I have to put in just to get a response is monumental, so it'd be churlish of me to turn down a meet.

Because a huge number of guys on this site are complete fantasists. In the past we have been let down on a multiple of occasions by guys. We used to do gangbang meets and you’d have to book at least twice the number wanted in the hope that half that number would meet. Then the guys who did some had clearly used fake pics or received fake veris.

So we haven’t ever been let down on a meet but i reckon that’s because I will ask loads of questions and want a good chat first, most would probably give up and ghost us at that stage if they weren’t serious.

I am starting to think though that a lot of the single men on here are just in it for the fantasy and maybe even the more they don’t get replies the more they don’t expect one anyway. Every so often I put up a status to say I will answer all messages that day … and without fail those are the days that the message count drops off.

Tbf, if the guy phoned me to explain the situation and he sounded sincere, I give him another chance. It's tricky when it's the first meet as first impressions count.

It's not nice being ghosted after 2nd meet with no explanation, especially if they said they enjoyed themselves and said you were amazing etc

Maybe we should get the AA and RAC to do a poll. Find out how many of the breakdowns they attend, are people en route to a meet.

Im guessing at least 85%

I didn’t mention the unexpected visit from Mother Nature, which I have heard a few times, and could of course, have been true, but I can honestly say only one woman ever said “But don’t worry, I can work around it”…….she turned up lol

It's pretty obvious that lots of guys are just after wank fodder. One minute they are all for meeting and talking about what to expect then they disappear.

I think most of the let downs, no shows are down to a few things. Firstly...The high number of married men on here (a lot say they are single, but if you know what to look for, quite easy to spot). Secondly... The high number of fake profiles and picture collectors.

I can only say, don't be in a hurry to meet, ask the right questions and if you think something is not right, walk away.

Problem is.. most single men love the idea to meet up with a couple but most are forgetting that the dynamics are completely different as oppose to meeting a single lady.. especially if they have never experienced that dynamic before so they build a picture in their heads how it's going to go down and yes, in our own heads.. it will be magical, sexy, exciting but closer to the time.. nerves and doubts starts to kick in.. anxieties about wanting the meet to go well against doubts it will go horribly wrong so when the time comes, most will bottle it..

Thats my theory anyway based on my experiences from when I first started on fab.. everyone else may have a different reason of course

"Oh, I would love to know why men are such let downs! But apparently every man in the forums would never do that.

Not all men are let downs. Maybe he got cold feet by being let down himself.

Then why bother start a conversation about meeting if he had no intention of meeting??

I think the answer is that many men on here (including those hiding as “couples”) wish they could meet but either it’s just a fantasy or the presence of their wife prohibits. They are just wishful thinkers, curious about swinging or fantasists but talking to real swingers excites them and improves their wanking!!

I think this is a substantial part of it but not all of it. I think a lot intend to meet when their ‘horny’ head is in charge - but then they have a wank, go to work, have dinner with the wife and kids - and decide that quickie probably isn’t worth it.

Then they get horny again - think it might be a good idea after all - then have a wank, go to work etc etc

Eventually they either go through with a meet or delete the profile.

I’ve found the best way to involve getting in the middle of this cycle is to refuse to indulge in sexting etc and insist on a social before a sex meet.

I had one guy several months ago who turned out to be married with 2 young kids and one on the way. His wife called me one morning. We’d had a coffee but nothing more. A 45 minute chat I’ve no desire to repeat - but at least we never had sex.

I have no idea why people don't meet when arranged. Many variables as to why. But personally, clear communication and a little cam chat, etc. Is probs the only ways both parties can come to some form of agreement and comfortability with a potential meet. I'm an anxious soul, sure, but if I arranged a meet with someone, I'd still meet up even if it was just for a social. Otherwise everyone's time is wasted.
