Reading some of the recent forum posts my question is ........... Since joining Fab/starting swinging have you made more effort to look after yourself to make yourself more appealing ... Join a gym, Dieting, Grooming ETC ........ we have always been gym goers well before FAB but our grooming routine has definitely changed.... What has if anything changed for you ???

I trained long before I joined fab and have always taken care of myself and my appearance, so not much has changed for me

Yes. Lost weight and attempt to try and dress better, makeup occasionally, and have more of a routine to look after myself. When I get the chance.

Not purely for Fab because obviously there are other benefits like health, but Fab is an incredibly good motivator for me.

But I now keep reading people shouldn't care what you look like but out houses are supposed to be immaculately clean and tidy?

I have small kids and a dog.

(Oh that'll be why I don't accommodate then..)

I felt fine about myself before I started on the forums, I rarely meet now as I kinda think the only men that will meet me are the ones that have been turned down by more attractive people or have (white knight syndrome) I never considers myself to be big but I do now!!!! Haha!! Can't wait until I've got time to train really hard and get all the fat off

Not really, I've probably gone the other way. Not because of fab, just coincidence. My lingerie collection has definitely expanded though...

I have been the size I am now since I had children, prior to my first pregnancy I was a size 10/12. An abusive marriage left me with low self esteem. Despite that I always took care of my appearance, being big did not change that.

A few years ago I met and fell in love with an amazing man who loved my size and the person I am, he helped change the skewed perception I had of myself and life has been good. He introduced me to swinging and I love it!!

There will always be people who find me unattractive due to my size but there are plenty who find me desirable. The same would no doubt be true if I was still a 10/12. I am very selective about who I meet, I would not meet any guy who I felt wanted to meet simply because I'm big, I meet the men who show an interest in me personally and take the time to get to know me and what makes me tick.

I have not changed myself or how I look for Fab but Fab has definitely changed me! I am having the time of my life and long may it last!!!

I haven't changed the way I do anything. I always like to make an effort with my appearance. The only difference is that my weight fluctuates due to a medical condition

I've recently out on quite a bit but will lose that again now that it's settled and I'm feeling better. That's nothing to do with being on Fab though, that's for my own well being

When it comes down to it, this is a scene where people come looking for some sexual fun and satisfaction. There are many elements to what comprises 'sexiness', but looking good plays a big part of that, so personally I consider people who believe in looking after themselves and exercising good hygiene aren't doing anything unusual.

Apart from buying more lingerie nothing. Often think should get more toned but the thought quickly goes.

No....

I started making changes and more effort after looking at a family photo and really not liking what I saw. It was nothing to do with swinging or Fabs.

Nobody believes me, but I don't go to the gym and whilst I do get all my vegetables, my appetite is so high that I eat my fair share of junk food too.

I've made no effort to change the way I look since I joined this site.

I am however going to go to the gym this coming Monday.

Yes, I'm not sure if its coincidental but joining fab happened during a seismic change in my life, break up, new job, full time single dad. I lost over a stone in weight and started to feel good about myself. As I start to see myself more as the person I want to be, the more I want to do to achieve it. Fab is all tied up in that

Same.

If anything I'm more relaxed about the bod I've got! Clubs have shown me guys don't care about wobbly bits as much as I did.

I found since we started swinging 18 months ago, i gained more weight!

I started to feel unsexy in my dresses and undies. Every weekend whilst getting ready to attend a club, id be moaning to my fella how awful i looked and that i didnt feel at all sexy, so i decided it was time to lose the weight I'd piled on.

Over two stone lighter now and feel much better in myself for it. Plus I'm wearing things i would never dare to before..

I've changed my beauty salon regime, but not really because I'm here. I can certainly say I'm more confident in my own skin because of Fab.
