I've been chatting to a couple for ages and I was literally just about to grab my keys to meet up when the guy spilled the beans and said it was just him!!!

Surely I'm not the only one this has happened to or am I just crap at spotting a fake profile!?

Did you report the account. Only way to get rid of the fakes is by reporting them.

We can spot them most the time when its ping pong messages and they start to talk dirty. And what Paul gets a lot they ask is that Mrs or Mr when he says its Mr a lot don,t get back to him

Telephone call and speak to both is the easy way to find out. If they decline then proceed with caution.

In my humble opinion (which will probably be ripped apart by someone more experienced than me) i dont think single men should be randomly contacting couples looking for fun. The vast majority of couples have it written in their profiles that if they want a single male THEY will come looking. Single males (like me) aren't swingers.... they're single males so we should stay within the rules and respect that swinging is a couples thing and if we're asked to take part we should feel honoured and priviledged

Amen.

Surely fake couples are easy to spot. If they don't have picture verification or they only have one verification (from the single guys verified account).

Or, if it was a genuine couple account and the woman has fucked off then the verifications will have dried up?

I disagree. They should be able to contact whoever they want in exactly the way as every other member. Nobody is more privileged and honoured than anyone else.

If people dont want to be contacted by single guys all they need to do is use the filter that the site provides.

People who allow themselves to be treated as second class citizens just make other people think that its ok to do exactly that.

I dont think its anything to do with being treated as 2nd best..its about prioritising. If you want to meet a girl go to Plenty Of Fish and meet my ex-wife but if you're in a swingers site as a single male you need to use your wit and realise youre not king dick like you are in the real world

Hi, pproblem is you do not want to give your number to a stranger you only met on-line. You could end up getting calls while you are at work or 4am when you are trying to slleep. Always a range to meet someone in a pub that way it sorts out 100% of the timewasters. And if they don't turn up you will still have your night out. Their loss not yours.

They are easy to spot. Single female profile - FAKE. MF Couple profile - FAKE.

There are actually NO women at all on this site. It's all one big lie.

Luckily my phone has a block number feature, I guess not everyone's will though which is a shame I guess skype or something can be used?

I'm sorry but this is complete nonsense.

I don't think it is unreasonable to say couples and single females expect to be approached. That is my experience of the site and how it has always worked (that the guys have to do the running). If single guys literally sat back and waited for a meet to come to them, they would not get very far at all.

I have been on and off here for about 5 years and I think I have had one meet where the lady actually messaged me. Admittedly I have had a few where I have responded to a wink but with the vast majority I have had to do the running.

Whilst I note some couples state they will approach single males if they want one, I don't think this is the majority.

Your reference to 'rules', feeling 'honoured' and 'priviledged' annoy me I am afraid. As I read the other day, a good summary of the scene is that swinging has far moved on from the days of wife swapping.

The idea single males should be 'honoured' to meet someone just feeds into one of the major problems on this site which is the arrogance shown by some couples who have a highly elevated view of themselves. Respect is a two way street, I am not here for others convenience but for a mutually beneficial experience.

I would just add I respect your views and clearly you are entitled to an opinion. I just strongly disagree with it.

You only have to go on chat. Check how many couples there are on cam. Have look at them, 90% blokes on their own.

Freaks if you ask me.

Then you get the messages. We crammed last week on chat, two blokes made also rats of excuses as to why the wife/girlfriend weren't there.

One even made a date, saying his wife would be on cam. Was all rubbish!

Drives hubby and I mental.

There are tons of fakes all over this site. And timewasters. it's just part of the show. Usually they are very easy to spot. If somebody claims something they can't show, I ask them to show it. if they can't..... byebye.

I usually find the dirtier they try to talk the more likely they are to waste your time. The ones that can engage you in general conversation with a bit of flirty banter are the most reliable

You can have very dirty talk which is subtle and intelligent.

Yes and for me that kind of chat is more of a flirtation as opposed to being so obviously/directly filthy with the talk

Sexy chat is fine, if a guy gets his kicks talking to me that's ok. But we only play in clubs and never prearrange meets so it doesn't really bother us if people pretend to be something they aren't. We use fab mainly to stay in touch with people we know.But for those who try to arrange meets through Fab it must be very frustrating.
