"i would love to know why some people join fab just to lead others on and why fab doesn't get rid of profiles that have been here for over a year and have no verifications at all as that just screams time waster to me" What do you mean by 'lead on' ? What harm to the profiles do? | |||

"Having been around the scene for a while now its clear that the main problems on these types of sites are normally because of desperate, pushy, inpatient people rather than timewasters. It’s a cardinal sin to change your mind on here if you’ve exchanged a few messages, and the amount of people who struggle to handle rejection on here is unreal. Its obvious if people say no, change their mind, or a conversation dwindles out that they’re timewasters, because swingers are gagging for it 24/7 and real swingers fuck anyone or never say NO " actually.... I think you actually hit upon something there...... and I tend to agree with you.... the funny thing is that people complain about "timewasters".. but when you ask them how they go about picking the people they play with, and whether that is a part of the issue.... they go very very quiet..... | |||

"i would love to know why some people join fab just to lead others on and why fab doesn't get rid of profiles that have been here for over a year and have no verifications at all as that just screams time waster to me" In response I would say that you have the option of blocking those with no verifications and thus removing these tiresome people from your world. Or you could talk to them and use your own skill and judgement to sort the genuine ones from the rest. This will take time but the time is not wasted if you find genuine people. It is hard enough to get meets on here anyway, I have been told it can take months. And even then it is no guarantee you will get a verification. I assume you are choosey about who you meet, doesn't everyone have that right? I thought swinging was about the freedom to meet with those you wanted to rather than having to shag someone in order to tick a box to enable you to meet more....... | |||

"To me and my mrs we have had no meets but at end of day if we did we would not get verified the way we see it its not about how many notched on the bed post there is its about fun and non pushy civolised folks so in general verifications is like nothes on ur post and thats just sad tbh hope did not offend anyone thats show there verifications " No offence taken! | |||

"i would love to know why some people join fab just to lead others on and why fab doesn't get rid of profiles that have been here for over a year and have no verifications at all as that just screams time waster to me" I ask myself everytime i see these threads what the op class as a timewaster and are they timewasters just because they have choosen not to meet someone. I have never had a 'timewaster' , and i prefer not to judge a person by what others have written. My advice to the op would be , block the unverified people by using your filter , failing that , take a bit of time to get to know someone before u jump into asking for a meet , often people can be swept along by the thrill of wanting to meet but when it comes time to do it , they get cold feet , or something else important happens in their life. I have never had a meet after just a few messages , I like to take time to get to know someone , chat for a bit , even on the phone , I prefer to take time with people after all being comfortable and attracted to someone you want to meet helps dramatically, so dont rush and u may find your meets will be with interesting fun people who u have got to know a bit and the 'timewaster' may be a thing of the past in ur world, above all , happy swinging. | |||

"The thing is, just because some of you haven't met a timewaster (yet! You never know) doesn't mean they don't exist. And a lot of time wasting costs money - buses, trains, taxis etc etc. I've been stood on an open station in North Yorkshire in the snow waiting for someone to pick me up who never turned up, never picked their phone up, and never told me why they didn't turn up. They wasted MY time and MY money, and I have little of either to spare. So please don't just say 'they don't exist as I have never met one'. Be happy you haven't and at least try to see how upsetting it can be for those of us who have." Whilst I hear what you're saying, I can honestly say I've never met a time waster and never will! How can I be so sure?!! I always meet socially before hand. The meeting takes place during my lunch hour, and the meeting place is outside the M&S where I'd be going to get my lunch any way. If they decided not to turn up, I've not even broken my step as it's lunch time, and Marks beckons. If I meet them after work it's at 5.15 in the station. If they're not there I can make my way to the platform to catch my 5.30 train - again, no skin of my nose, no time expended, no cost involved. I explain to all my meets the reason for my timings and as yet, I've not had a no show. When it comes to meeting for play it would be on a flexi day I had booked off anyway to do my windows/gardening etc. If they didn't turn up, it's not put me out as I'd things to do - again, never had a no show. That's how it's worked for me for four years until I stopped playing. If you're not as "lazy" as I am and have to plan I wouldn't be best pleased to have someone waste my time, and would probably have a moan too. | |||

Definitely going to start implementing some of those ideas. Having said that, the definition of a time waster is someone who wastes time, and it doesn't have to be a no show to do that! And a lot of people use these forums for a moan and a rant, so why is one subject deemed worthy and others not? Empathy is an excellent trait to cultivate. | |||

"Well we of the oppinion that every body should at least be photo varified and be made by fab to have at least 1 face pik in they private gallery which as everybody knows they can choose who sees it just so it shows that some sort ov genuine thought has gone into it or just make every body pay tha site supporter fee every month coz no one like to throw money away on summing they dont use tidy but the trouble is that ull never get rid of all the fakes and waisters uve just got2 learn to be more clued up on the way the opperate and then do the thing that you choose to do, either block them,report them or ignore them but that choice is yours " Why? This is a sex site,why on earth should admin have rules about what pics ppl have on their profile?If ppl need their hand holding that much perhaps they shoudn't be here in the first place. We are all adults,and should be capable of making our own decisions about the criteria for meeting others. If Fab starting putting rules like that in i would leave instantly,i don't need someone to police my meets. As for making the site a pay site,well i think we all know a certain other place that charges a fortune and where meets are as common as hens teeth. | |||

"There comes a time when you have to encourage people to look at how they select meets. How is it some people are let down 12 times in a row whilst others are having a great time on meets? " Yes, that is a point, but there are people who are successful but have say one in every ten or twenty meets go south due to the other person just not turning up. Surely a quick rant is OK? After all, I've seen other people rant about something on the TV. I just think that sometimes it would be nice for people to see another point of view without automatically assuming they are moaning for nothing, or trying it on. I don't get stood up often but, when I do, its a real pain in the tush! | |||

"I don't go to clubs so verifications do matter to me - I use them as part of how I decide if I want to see them. However, as has been pointed out no verifications doesn't necessarily mean they are a timewaster, because they may well be busy at the clubs. " I was delighted to come across a profile from a cpl i met 2years ago at a club,only really found out who they were thru the verifications lol....heres hoping my next visit we bump into eachother again...just like last time winkwink hehe | |||
