"Wonder what the % is on fab for the timewasters mostly guys pretending to be a woman or couple on here any guesses anyone " WOAH! "Mostly guys?" ... in my experience, the biggest time wasters are couples ... mainly because one partner doesn't talk to the other. Having said that, it's very difficult for us "single" guys to get to meet simply due to numbers. | |||

"I am not a time waister( I am married with wife's consent) ( and can prove ), but still it hard to prove. As we all get tarred with the same brush. It is a real problem. " The 'tarred with the same brush' line is a cop out excuse used to justify a lack of perceived 'success'! It's a myth. Only YOU will ever cause people to make judgements/assessments of you! | |||

"I give my play phone number out if I am going to meet as it's easier but only if they will give theirs to me first. haven't had a problem yet " A phone chat is important to me, it means so much more than verifications or any other way of selecting a meet, I will always give my number out to a meet, but would never want to know theirs, most of my meets are married guys, and I believe in discretion, I don't travel, always accommodate, so timewasting is a thing that has never happened to me. | |||

So a couple that change their mind must be a single male?" No ... in this instance, I discovered I was just chatting with the male-half. A meet was agreed, but over an hour after the appointed time, there was no further contact. I have no evidence that this was not a couple, though there was a verification. It appears that, for one reason or another, the female half was not up to playing on her return from work. It's not a problem ... I've enough meets and am rather choosy! | |||

Sad, but true. Id never hand out my number to a total stranger. We agree. A phone number is one of the last things we ever give to anyone. " Interesting. I have no qualms in giving my number to a couple who interest me, at a point where I'd like to know more about them both as a couple, and would like them to know more about me. Its a natural thing to do. And reciprocally, where couples are interested in me, they have no problem in calling me back, when they have my number. Some "hide" their number on the first call (and I can understand that), but most don't. But, at least we all speak ... and then take it from there. And it works. Conversely, text tennis doesn't. I've never had a meet with "couples" who indulge in continual text messaging alone ... and these text messaging types I do categorise as timewasters and fakes | |||

Sad, but true. " what a load of rubbish, I have met loads of people off here and I have never handed my phone number out, reason being I don't want men on here phoning and texting me while i'm at work, shopping, with my kids, I keep swinging to this site, when I log off the site i'm back to my normal life and don't want contacting by phone by guys on here, I've never had a problem meeting even though I don't hand my number out | |||

"Unless it's a club meet I insist on swapping numbers. Not necessarily because I insist on chatting before we meet, although this mostly happens anyway, but for practical reasons. It may be necessary to communicate enroute to the meet, or seek directions. I've had reason to stop at the local of a couple I was meeting, for about an hour or so, nursing a pint because their teenage daughter unexpectedly turned up 15 mins to kick off and they needed time to get rid of her. If we hadn't swapped numbers so they were able to call while I was on my way, it could have been a very awkward situation for them. Also, swapping numbers show a certain level of commitment to the meet. You don't have to use your personal phone for this either. Lots of swingers have swinging phones that they use for this. Also it is a bit odd that you invite someone to your home or are happy to meet at theirs, but yet don't trust them enough to give them a phone number." We never invite people to our home that we've not met socially. As for swinging phones, just as easy to use messages on here, it's not as if we can't access them. I fail to see how that equates to a lack of commitment to meeting. | |||

"i'm fiding it really hard to find meetd due to timewasters tho mostly due to no shows really gets to me tho as i'm gen and really am looking for meets " I guess its a problem for everyone. Best approach is to "go with the flow" and be relaxed about it. These things happen. Just use Fab as an extra, potential, way to meet people, and keep on regular dating as the best way of meeting. I do. And do try POF too. Its pretty good. | |||

Not giving a phone number doesn't equate to a lack of commitment but giving one on the other hand removes a lot of uncertainties. | |||

"There are lots of clues to spot fakes and time wasters across all profiles. But being a single male, I'll be referring mainly to couples and single female profiles. 1. They've been on the site for 5 mins, claim they're new to this and yet have some of the most fabbed pictures (Fake) 2. They've been on the site for a long time and haven't got a single verification (Fake or time waster) 3. They've been on the site a long time, have normal pics, have a long friends list, no verifications, have a well written profile stating their fantasies, exchange emails with you about these and suddenly stop replying when you try to pin them down to a confirmed meet. (Timewasters) 4. They have pictures that are very obviously not of the same person. 5. They have a profile without pics and tell you they can send it via email, whats app or text. (Timewasters) 6. I get an email from a single male telling me he'd like to arrange a meet that'd involve some mystery very gorgeous girlfriend who isn't on the site but is dead keen to meet. (Timewaster & fantasist) 7. The same set of pictures keep coming up on a new profile every few weeks (fake) 8. They have no pictures on their profile and no verifications but insist that they're a hot couple and they will delete and block messages from anyone who emails without pics and also quoting a certain word or phrase from their profile in the subject of the email. (Timewasters and delusional) etc etc etc " | |||

"Wonder what the % is on fab for the timewasters mostly guys pretending to be a woman or couple on here any guesses anyone " Any site where the sign up fee is only £5 or free is going to attract its fair share of cheapskates,tourists.fakes and time wasters. We get most of our meets through another site and much more party invites. We use this as more of a social network thing as it is a lot more user friendly. Like the old saying goes you get what you pay for I guess | |||
