Are we the only people on Fab to experience yet another let down? This is the fourth one over a couple of months. All of them were meet verified, 2 gave the usual excuses but 2 just stopped messaging on the day. Where are all of the genuine guys gone?

you’d be surprised the few of us that are left are also getting a lot of let downs or time wasters I’ve had multiple in the last two weeks

We just had this in Spain, chatted 6 weeks before going out ( they live there) then more in depth chatting up to final week before departure. Then spoke Saturday with intentions of meeting on the Sunday, all was ok. Then Sunday before our 6.30 pm arranged date, they messaged at 5.15 pm to say something has came up so they can't do it. By the end of the week they had left the site !!!

We have had this happen three times just recently, all for a meeting and then at the very last moment radio silence.

Up side of this each time we have been let down we have gone to a club and have had a great play with couples we have met on the night.

Let down mid week. Yet ANOTHER single guy changed his mind about 3hours ago after giving it the Big one. No doubt his Wife or GF suddenly changed their plans!!

We used to be let down time and time again, very rarely we arrange a meet these days. Clubs are the way, it's where we go to meet people these days. We've had let downs with folk saying they'll meet us in a club we are going to, but we have already decided to go to club for us to have a night out, so a let down in this environment doesn't bother us, as we are dressing up to go out anyway (or dressing down)

If no shows and let downs are happening to you on a regular occurrence maybe change the way you carry out your due diligence.

Continue with the same pattern you will get the same result.

Unfortunately we've lost track of the number of let downs we've had via Fab which is why we try to ensure all first meets are at clubs now. Even the most 'genuine' looking profiles who state they are 'not like the others' can be capable of disappointment. And we might add, it's not just single guys

Most “ single men” bi or straight seems to be married and we can’t seem to find anyone who actually wants to meet. Most of the wants to have a chat have a wank and be done with it.

Putting any effort in the message seems way beyond most people’s ability 😤

This is why we now only meet single males in clubs unless we're in the mood to invite one to ours (and even then we get the oh I can't make it tonight can I come on Wednesday instead 🤦 no if we wanted you to join us then we would have said would you like to meet on Wednesday)

Yes I get what you are saying but the same due diligence has worked for the last 8 years without any problems. Why in the last 6 months or so has all of the time wasting started?

We don't always want to go to a club, our local one only holds an event to suit us once a month so we want to host occasionally. Why is it so difficult.

Peterborough / Stamford

So far this year: thirteen meets arranged, seven no-shows.

People say to go to clubs - we hate clubs, other than the occasional quiet daytime events.

People say to change how we vet - we only meet people with meet verifications (that we thoroughly check back) themselves within the last twelve months and only within an hour as these used to be the common denominators of no-shows. Now it's just nobody thinks how their actions affect others it seems.

People say go to clubs I am a single woman that doesn't drive. It would take me approximately 6 to 8 hours to get to a swinging club by bus and train. I would have got a room as I would have to stay over.

So it would mean taking up 2 days and cost approximately £200 plus expenses as in getting into the club, food and drink.

I've had the same thing with a few couples over the last few months. Lengthy chats, plans in place, then the vanishing act!

I like to think I'm upfront re my circumstances and accept that for many they don't want to meet attached guys, but several couples indicate this is not an issue.

Of course we can't insist people meet, and I'm not naive re that, but as with many in this thread, it's frustrating, time wasting.

When the Ex and I started, there was no internet lol and in Africa. We relied on word of mouth and Taxi drivers. When the internet came along we were living here and found it difficult to find anything so we turned our attention to Dogging which was full of fun. The only 2 good swinger sites we had ever found was when I got a long term contract in Oz. Met many fantastic single/married men who didn't let us down. Also met a good few couples that were into the same thing as us over there.

It happened to me last night.

A couple approached me on here. Swapped photos etc kept asking me to come over. When I agreed, they vanished🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m not bothered by it and you shouldn’t be. I think some are either attention seeking, not ever planning to meet. They’ve found something “better” or just bottled it.

Don’t worry about it. Be you and enjoy it when it happens 😉

Nothing worse than entitled couples who think a guy will come running at the drop of a hat, just because they’re free that evening….

After over 13 years in Fab, I’ve never let anyone down for a pre-arranged meet. I have been cancelled on last minute, and ghosted plenty of times though, and even taken the oft-quoted advice of “Just go to a club”……..only to discover what discrimination actually feels like…

Maybe the advice this poster is giving couples to better their chances is how the folk arranging meets are managing their meets.

'Arrange 4X more than you need then if you have too many, it’s a better problem than none and a waste of time haha'

For every meet there will be 3 let downs.... you (not personally) become the timewaster. Ergo this is shit advice🤷‍♀️🙄

This place is like everywhere, peaks n troughs of meets n dry spells. Nature of the game 🥰

I will not confirm a meet until certain if making time/place/date....

Recently been chatting to a few couples/ladies... All seems fine then suddenly no longer there!!

Annoying especially on one where I had set off to meet train journey... Luckily checked phone at station!!!

The is a well known dogging site not far from us. It's not something that we've ever been tempted to try. What if we make the effort to go and there's no one that I would want to have sex with, another wasted night.

Date and time was confirmed, I had given him our postcode but not house number. I messaged him 2 hours before he was due to arrive and radio silence and not heard from him since.
