Time wasters

We've been on here a while now and had a couple of meets but we are getting so disheartened by time wasters! All we want to do is meet genuine people. Any advice.

Block them. And if they are abusing you report them. I had the same problem as many do. It’s just part of life on here

Got to us at one point, but you get better and quicker at spotting them and just move on without a second thought

It unfortunately comes with the site, its worth persevering though as there are so great genuine people on here. Most frequent the forums

Most timewasters chicken out in the last minute before meet arrangement, especially bi courious guys.

Nowt can be done. Maybe if everyone who joins has to pay ..full stop...and they have to have a veri photo. In my opinion this would not stop time wasters but reduce it considerably. We talk to people who love ping pong txt....

Fakes to the left of us, timewasters to the right...

It seems to be a fact of life on here, but that makes it all the sweeter to meet the genuine sexy people when you do x

Maybe a graceful period and after that no verification means you get booted or a feedback system for actually turning up

Verifications seem to be about the best way, that and talking on the phone.

That really is shit but I'd never rearrange my life to fit around this. I fit this around my life. I'd never take a day off to meet someone on here unless it was a regular meet I know and would only ever meet for a quick drink in a local place when I was out shopping or doing something else so my time isn't wasted if they decide to no show.

It would be abused. Sadly there are some bitter people on here that cannot take polite rejection so would revel in that, naming people as such when they are not. How many times have you seen a status slagging of a user as being a timewaster? We don't know what happpend, the person cannot defend themselves and I often think when seeing a status like that, oh dear, they got turned down!!

I'd be quite happy for a verified lady to call me ahead of a meet and withold her number, obviously I'd not give mine out unless I was happy she's genuine.

God knows it’s hard enough as it is for single blokes like me. Timewasters make it even more difficult and put us genuine blokes in a bad light.

You do know it can take single males anything up to 12 months to get a meet simply because the number of men outnumber women couples and tv/ts right so that to me would be a waste of time also what about those who do meet but don't want to get meet verified

It can very disheartening but don’t give up. Over time you find ways to wheedle out the time wasters and end up using your block button on a daily basis.

A lot of people on here are picture hoarders and are brave behind their keyboard which does spoil it for the genuine folk who really meet.

How about attending a club? x

We avoid timewasters by playing almost entirely in clubs. We can then meet people we have met in clubs certain they are genuine and that we are compatible.

As we have written elsewhere, Fab wasn't like this in the past - we met via here when we both had single profiles about 6 years ago, when meets with attractive people were commonplace. The site is now infested with timewasters/fakes - many verified by the way (it's so easy) - and it is a crying shame because, as with others, we've almost given up on Fab now for actual meets - way too much effort now for v little return.

There’s plenty of other ways and apps without giving out your number and you get to see them with video and voice yet so many vanish when you ask that hummmm I wonder why lol
