I've always wonde_ed how often do couples get let down by single men.

Do you think they get sca_ed and love the idea of it but can't actually go through with it.

Or are some men just a waist of time talk the talk but can't walk the walk.

We only meet single men and we’ve not had a successful meet yet, people backing out at the last minute or just not turning up at all. So the answer to your question is yes!

Really that surprises me. Just had a look at your profile and looks great.

Possibly got cold feet but no excuse what so ever in just not turning up that's just plain rude I say

Not just couples...single ladies too...so bloody frustrating when you've given your time in chatting to them online and speaking to them on the phone and put other plans off in order to meet them then they dissapear on the day...arseholes!

Completely agree it's those idiots that spoil it for us genuine men on here I say. It does take time and planning for a meet for both parties and to simply message early enough on to say you can't make it for what ever reason is common courtesy I think

Exactly, it can ruin it for the genuine guys. On of our let downs was after weeks of chatting over WhatsApp, getting to know each other and establishing (in my mind at least) a connection, then on the day of the meet he was anonymous, not heard anything since. All that time and effort wasted!

I think some guys just like the chat, the flirting, the pics and the overall chase.

Seriously??

I never believe any of these stories about let downs and time wasters. I just don’t see how it could possibly happen and in whose interest it could possibly be.

If you’ve exchanged a few messages with fellow members, seen that they are well verified and have spoken on the phone/cam to get a rapport I bet the number of occurrences of such are minimal.

I strongly suspect the complaints about let downs are from people who arrange meets quickly with new profiles, whose pictures make them improbably good looking/athletic (ie fake), and do so without is the usual due diligence.

If you’ve taken the time to make sure everything feels right, why the hell would anyone turn down the opportunity to have sex with you??!!

No one should spoil anything for anyone on here. How others go about their business shouldn't affect you and your success or otherwise on the site. Most decent genuine users know not to tar everyone with the same brush.

This!

Takes me ages to agree to meet now. I rarely make arrangements or put myself out. If I happen to be in the area and can stop for a social I will otherwise, No!

If I make arrangements and genuine can't meet for whatever reason, I will tell that person and not leave them hanging. It's common courtesy, have the balls to say you've changed your mind!

You’d think so wouldn’t you, sadly not always the case! We certainly don’t rush things, weeks of getting to know each other, pictures are very real. Maybe we’re just unlucky

Clueless much?

We had it the other week.

It's called wank fantasists.

Got a guy messaging, got to arranging, made plans, exchanged a phone number, and then "okay be there in 30 mins" then blocked.

Obviously no subsequent reply to text messages.

And then, gone.

Can't remember the guys username - otherwise I would shame him / them now.

Happened a few times.

And we aren't a new profile.

This also makes it even more difficult to meet people when you have no veris. I can completely understand that mode of thought though.

To be honest after being a member on this site as part of a couple and as a single it's about equal. I'd say about 1 in 5 of the people I chat are a let down.

As a single I find it more so from couple but I've put that down to them either getting a better offer or it's one of the couple is more keen than the other.

Annoying as it is I don't let it get to me it's a part of life and I'm sure they have their reasons. Far too many great people on here to make a difference

Never let anyone down myself but been let down multiple times, both by couples and single women. Particularly frustrating when you have booked a hotel and planned the meet long in advance, with multiple messages and chat. In general, spur of the moment things seem to work out better.

How many times have you been ‘let down’ after you have built up a proper rapport on the phone.

Seems like a pretty good discriminator to me. If you can’t for some reason talk about it, why would you be likely to turn up?

I didn’t say it increases the chance that someone will come. But perhaps you’ll be more suspicious that they may not.

For every knob head there's a couple that that happily replace him.

Perhaps its different for you as a single guy, but for us as a couple, we get to be choosers, not beggars.

So. On we moved and went.

No great shakes, but when you are trying to have spontaneous fun, taking the spontaneity out of it kills the buzz.

But to basically making a statement that's pretty much untrue in the vast majority of instances is the issue here.

Not all single men are spoiling it. I have been let down in the past by couples and single women.

We've been let down a few times, more often when it's hotel meets, though it has happened when we're arranged club meets. We still get our fun regardless, it's their loss so we just block and move on.

There's a better than average chance they were single men posing as women, or couple.

We thought we could spot the fakes, and 90% we do, but a few have wheedled themselves into our inbox, they've eventually get caught out but thats the reality of what these losers have to offer here.

Until say a £25-30 joining fee here is applied, there is a good chance of this being just as problematic for a good while yet. Even that wouldn't stop them all, but would go some way to _educing this issue.

No never

We have had spur of the moment meets with guys we have met before but I can chat to guys for many weeks before we meet them and never do sex chat so they tend to be genuine as they aren't getting wank fodder and the they keep the chat going. Can't see a guy chatting for that long if they have no intention of meeting. It works for us x

The reality is ( and anyone who has been on here long enough will know)the site is a total minefield of fakes and fantasists. You just have to accept it and try learn to spot the warning signs . Single guys , couples , single ladies, there are timewasters among them all in equal measure. That said every now and then something comes off really well and it makes all the shit endu_ed worthwhile. It takes literally years to figure out how this site really works and even then someone will still take you for a ride . Accept it and move on

These threads always bemuse me. I don’t know what we do that’s different, but we have never been let down like this via Fab. We don’t meet new men very often, so when we do meet it’s because we all want to meet. But they always turn up and nearly always result in play. And we’ve been using Fab for over 3 years. So no. We think single guys are pretty good. Well in our experience anyway.

Three years ago things were very different on here . Even two years ago they were nowhere near as bad as things are currently .

I don’t know if you guys started off just meeting at clubs and parties , and having repeat meets , but that’s a huge part of the reason you don’t get issues .

We like to meet new people rather than have repeats , nor we don’t go to parties or clubs . And we get at least 50% time wasters . This compares to 10% seven years ago , and creeping up year in year .

We started off by advertising on Craig’s List. We were desperate to find a regular guy. We had a few bail on us a short notice. And a lot of disastrous meets. So we moved over to Fab and it work so much better, largely due to the verification system. It’s true we only meet about 3 new guys privately in a year, so few numbers probably _educes error.

Do couples get let down by single men alot?

You bet! A shocking amount.

Our experience is that a LOT of men are happy to go only as far as the online flirting/chat and either bottle it when faced with a real meet, or had no intention of taking it 'real world'.

And we are VERY accommodating. We are prepa_ed to travel AND stump up for the hotel room.

However, the amount of let downs is making us reassess our approach. From now on we're going to insist the men put the leg work in.

as a single guy I am starting to think that more needs to be done to put off the idiots, fantasists w@nkers from joining. Same can be said for the couples and women that do the same (if they're not just men pretending)

This site is getting more and more negative, and this is obvious just by reading some of your profiles

When we joined the site 4 years ago we had no problems but recently it's been a nightmare. So many dreamers on here or they lose their horn so no longer keen to meet. We're finding they think they're doing us a favour so expect us to fit in with their plans. We get bombarded with messages to meet but when give dates they are unavailable. It's hard to find genuine guys on the site now. Although if I wasn't so fussy I may have more luck.

I’m a single female and was suppose to meet a guy last Friday after chatting for a week but the guy didn’t contact me with regards to where and still haven’t heard off him!!

Today a guy messaged me regarding a meet tonight so told me his address and time - I turned up and guess what ...... no answer to the door!!!! He messaged me 10 mins ago saying couldn’t get a taxi back from where he was! Was he on the moon or something. Shame really as he had some good veries.

His loss - I came home and got a bottle of wine lol

We decided not to do the picture swap/ online chat with single guys because so many people report problems with fantasists.

Last year we fancied a change and decided to try to meet a single fella. Someone contacted us so met the guy for a social, got on well, set a date to play. On the night before we all confirmed time etc, all good. On the day, sent address... no reply. Never showed up, no call, nothing. 4 hours later he texted to say he was at work 50 odd miles away and when where we meeting...?!

A few weeks later he contacted us to see if we fancied meeting up. Blocked him.

EXACTLY the same thing happened with another guy a month later. And he even knew about the first guy and promised he wasn't a timewaster! So now we don't meet solo guys unless they're from couples we've met.

It's a shame, but that's how we have to be.

We only meet single p_edominantly black guys and due to the amount of timewasters, messers, wannabes and fakes we stopped doing normal meets and started 6 years ago only meeting in clubs and at parties.

Occasionaly we will try a regular meet but 9 times out of 10 it's a timewaster.

"Seriously??

I never believe any of these stories about let downs and time wasters. I just don’t see how it could possibly happen and in whose interest it could possibly be.

If you’ve exchanged a few messages with fellow members, seen that they are well verified and have spoken on the phone/cam to get a rapport I bet the number of occurrences of such are minimal.

If you’ve taken the time to make sure everything feels right, why the hell would anyone turn down the opportunity to have sex with you??!!"

So true. In all our years on here, we've only ever had one letdown/no show. (Apparently he fell down a rabbit hole while golfing with his boss and broke his ankle

) Every other meet (lots of them being single guys) has always turned up, as have we when we've met at other venues. Saying that, we are always late though as P's a nightmare at time management

We mostly stopped inviting single guys to watch us, because of the constant messing about and lame excuses, so many of them are always posting,"would love to watch a couple" but when we put it on a plate, suddenly the dog has eaten thier car keys or something equally lame.

Compa_ed to ten years ago yes. To the point where we are starting not to bother. We like Home meets but it’s a lot of effort for all the messing around,so clubs are more our thing now.

Like someone else said, I like meeting new guys as well as guys we already know, but the calibre of people on here isn’t all that which is reflected in the lack of standards Fab requires to be on here. Put shit in and you get shit out.

Single men on the whole are just a let down. They go UNLOS constantly or don't turn up. Spend hours moaning on here they can't get laid yet never turn up.

Even for organised socials they message saying they'd love to attend but not without a plus 1 as they couldn't possibly walk into a pub without someone holding their hand

Been let down a few times in the past, which has made us a lot more wary when messaging single guys. Which in itself is a shame, as we’re sure there’s plenty of genuine guys that would meet us, but the process of ing out the fakers and dreamers is becoming more of a hassle as of late.

Bloody hell, if I was playing Single Guy forum bingo then I'd have won the national jackpot with this one.

It's simple *a large amount* of Single men on here fall into one or more of the following categories:

Not single

Socially inept

Seeking instant gratification

Privacy paranoid

Seeking the chase

I'm on here with a trans profile, and also until recently with a couples profile. I've also worked in the sex industry. And I've learned that the first three of those categories are present many of the guys here.

They are married/attached. Don't know how to flirt or chat to people when sex is a possibility, and only have a few hours free while the wife is out so don't want to actually have to waste that time with things like effort. So it's only ever at your place, now, no talking, fuck, go. Delete profile after. Not arrange to meet next week, as wife may not be out. Never at his place. Never in the evening/weekend.

The truly single ones who are privacy paranoids (usually closet bisexuals/fabstraights) won't do socials unless it's 100miles away. Just in case they see their brothers wife's sisters best friend while they are out, and have a panic attack about explaining why they are chatting to someone.

And the ones seeking the chase are what you'd call time wasters. The ones who get off on making the arrangements. They set the date then wank themselves silly thinking "what will she wear? what will we do?"

The looking to meet function on this site is appalling. Mainly you get contacted by one or more of those categories. It's pointless.

Advice, go to clubs and socials. Meet the ones who can make the effort to do that and you've eliminated a few categories already. But above all, make better choices or stop moaning about it.

And guys, no one owes you a reply.

Been let down more times than we've had successful meets with single guys.

We always put statuses or meets up when were free specifying what were looking for, so they will be the ones that make initial contact, but they still don't turn up.

I think its a case of not doing well with the single ladies, so opt for a couple, but when it comes to it they are intimidated by the male part of the couples presence and don't turn up. Some try the whole dirty chat thing with me - but I take that as a wanker from the off, keep to facts of what we've done/enjoy and don't get graphic so they're left short of wank material - they can either then come try it and fill their wank bank or find someone willing to waste time on a wanker

Three years ago things were very different on here . Even two years ago they were nowhere near as bad as things are currently .

I don’t know if you guys started off just meeting at clubs and parties , and having repeat meets , but that’s a huge part of the reason you don’t get issues .

Your profile is looking for mf and not guys but here your meeting single guys

that is because i have found that they think "social" is codeword for orgy... and when they find out that social actually means socialising, they think of it as maximum effort for minimal reward, and if they aint getting the rewards there and then, they aren't interested

The privacy paranoids are hilarious. We had one young guy who wouldn't meet us in a local pub unless someone he knew saw him. We pointed out that the last thing any civilian seeing him out with a middle aged couple would think was that it was a sex date. Tell them it's your cousin and his wife visiting from Yorkshire or whatever. They'd believe it.

He wasn't having it...

Not all single guys of course. There are some men-icorns out there. But those decent guys are high in demand or in danger of changing status to couple, which is what happened to Sir.

I have sometimes wonde_ed if HMPs have issued fab apps to its guests, because there are a high proportion of guys wanting pen pals.

i also think that single men are sometimes an easy target for threads like this, just solely because of the amount of them.... but i do think that couples and single women are as culpable at wasting peoples time as single men!

and again, and i hate to say this... if people thought with their brains more and their nether regions less... then less of this would happen, because people would have better ways of selecting potential playmates....

socials, phone calls, taking more time to talk to people just than just instant meets, going to clubs where you get more chance to make decisions, ect ect ect...

not saying they are all right... just saying they are all avenues!

I like to pride myself on being here since almost the start... and yet the amount of times i have been stung by "timewasters" i can count on one hand.....

and a lot of it is down to common sense... if something to quite feel right... either keep talking till it does, or walk away! basic common sense and _ed flags for example.....

sometimes people need to look at what they are doing and how are the going thru their processes as much as looking at the people who are deceiving them

Agreed. Not all guys are the same and meeting a good one is a real treat, in more ways than one.

We also don’t think that the site “has become crap”. There isn’t a way of assessing people in advance other than reading verifications & profiles, speaking on the phone and giving it a go. In “real” life it’s exactly the same: people are often disappointing. We don’t expect anything different on here.

So if that’s the case , why have we got a thread with over 100 posts which in the main bemoans single guys ?

Simple reason is that the huge % of them that let people down leaves us thinking they are all the same . So the impact on the good guys that do show up is negative , and the impact on those single guys looking for a meet is also negative . Thus , a negative from the off because of the behaviour of the others .

I don’t really get why the existence of timewasters makes it more difficult for genuine guys to get meets. Unless the view is that women and couples are no longer meeting at all because of timewasters? We will meet a genuine single guy from time to time. We would not meet more genuine guys if there were no timewasters, and we would not give a larger portion of genuine guys a chance if timewasters didn’t exist. If anything, the reason we don’t give a lot of genuine guys a chance is because we are already quite busy with other genuine guys. Certainly not because of timewasters though, which we personally haven’t experienced on Fab.

I've been let down by a couple of ladies after travelling to the agreed place. No show, no apology ...

I've also chatted to couples and as we moved towards finalising details it turns out I need to fit in with their needs and pay the bills ...

And sometimes there are genuine reasons for calling off a meet. A simple explanation and apology is what's needed.

So let's not brand any one group as better than another ...

We had 3 let downs on the bounce when we first started looking to meet single guys, nearly put us off. If it wasn't for a friends recommendation of a guy we would have given up trying. All 3 guys had veri's and we chatted/messaged them for weeks, first one was honest and said he had bottled it on the day, he did try to rearrange later that night but was a no from us, another just never came back online when date was arranged and one we think was in a relationship as was being a bit sketchy but thankfully it was just a bad start as we have not had a problem since the first three attempts. Although we don't meet that often those that we have met have all been great guys

We've never let anyone down, but have been let down on several occasions. Our ratio of letdowns to meets currently stands at 5:1.

And we are very accommodating. We prefer to travel to them (we don't want to play close to home), and we book the hotels. Basically we lay it on a plate.

The most common result is silence and a no show on the day, even if we've all 'shook hands' the night before. Then a week or so later we get the inevitable "Sorry, my aardvark was taken ill" excuse.

We don't have it in us to let anyone down. We're not that type. We clear our diaries, sort everything out in advance etc, so our planned meets have been 100% nailed on.

But if we ever DID have a genuine reason that stopped us from meeting we'd have the decency to let the guy know and we'd look to reschedule. From our experience single guys don't reciprocate with the same decency.

i hate this line because it is a kop out answer...

at the end of the day.... you don't effect me and i don't effect you!

Exactly this. How others behave on here has no impact on your success or otherwise on this site. "

Another here who agrees with that, if we don't get meets its not down to other couple letting down our wish to meet fabber. Its is something about us they don't like, or doesn't work for them.

This is why we are more and more persuaded that club meets are the way forward for us. Yes it means spending a good few quid, but the appeal of seeing people in the flesh and selling yourself through personality and developing a rapport has always yielded more positive results.

There have been meet up there where we, or the other people have been off the radar profile wise (and those we've never even seen) but inn real life, they are the real deal as people. Like ourselves, maybe they don't have a great pitch, but underneath all the less than great pictures and words are great people.

So if the no-shows are denting your confidence or you are finding the time taken for meets is being wasted, go to a club and SEE real people who are committed into having a fun night, and maybe some sex too.

Maybe the site could introduce a star rating system bit like Amazon etc, along with the verifications.

So, the people that don't turn up once in a blue moon for a genuine reason wouldn't be marked down as much as someone, or ones, that never turn up?

Would also limit any malicious scoring.

I've been on and off this site for a few years.

Have had a few last minute cancellations from couples and single ladies and on one occasion had to withdraw from a meet because of a late notice work commitment. Do it politely and with as much notice as possible and you retain the trust and friendship.

Sometimes things get in the way of play that are simply unavoidable.

Most successful meets have been easy to arrange with minimum chat/messages.

Lots of backward and forward messaging is a big _ed flag to me, they are usually hedging their bets and let you down at the last minute

100% agree! I've started going to a really great social recently and was talking with some fantastic people within minutes of arriving. Building a network of people who know you isnt that hard to do. Make an effort, be genuine and have a bit of class and anything's possible. Just sitting on here relies on someone taking a chance on a relatively small pen picture.

"Usually single guys are very reliable!!

They are two a penny so are always keen to get a real meet!!

Most say that they don’t even get a reply to message s

We have single males blocked because of so many sending demanding messages and one liners we prefer to initiate contact with single males "

It always makes me laugh (and cringe) when I hear of single guys sending one-liners, or poor opening gambits. As a pretty average guy I have had a reasonable level of success by making an effort to be engaging, respectful, decent company and worth getting to know, without any demands, expectations or any sense of entitlement. Having folks get to know you in person socially helps a lot too.

If folks are getting let down on a regular basis then I'd suggest a change in their selection and vetting processes. One no show in 6 years for us and not every meet we have is with verified fabbers either.

We first meet at Clubs, quite often couples, single guys and single girls ‘can’t make it’, which is fair enough - we then see who we click with and then if we subsequently arrange a meet outside of the club we get a 100% hit rate.

Given we meet rarely, it just works for us to go to clubs, even if noone takes our fancy, we can have a damn good time on our own

From personal experience mf couples are the group most likely to let single males down, especially with virtually zero notice, usually because they get a better offer I suspect.

We've stopped actively looking. It's hard enough trying to find a decent bi guy that we believe ticks the right boxes. When you do so and arrange a meet. they either go UNLOS or make excuses. This has even been guys that have verifications. Very frustrating when we've been gea_ed up for meets after chatting a while.

I did not know its that bad with some single men which gives genuine single men a bad name but in all fairness sum of them are here to play mind games due to most couples and females looking for the prefect men i would say so most men play the revenge game to get back at people.

Paphos Cyprus.

Hi. I play as a single guy. I always meet when I say I will. BUT. I must say that there are a lot of fake profiles on here. Profiles say they are couples even with photos of both. But when arranged to meet they either don’t turn up or just the guy turns up saying his partner is ill or could not come. SO. please don’t put the blame just on single guys. I live in Cyprus and always meet couples who visit for holidays. Had many a successful meet.

As a single lady I have had to let people down a number of times due to childcare issues but always explain when a problem arises that could cause issues. I have had single guys and couples let me down which is always sad but it happens sometimes.

I had discussed a social meet tonight but the person in the last few messages seemed to respond to messages except the one about me asking if we still hoped to meet up as wasnt far from his ratger than him having to travel further another time ti halfway.

I often get little time to meet so it makes it annoying when I could have had a quick social.

Not doing anything (like the fact they aren't where they said they'd be, and doing what they said they'd be doing) pretty much guarantees they're not gonna cum quickly

So on that point they are right.

Some couples are unbelievably thick or just being completely naive!

If I was to communicate on here with a lady or a couple I tread with caution, I expect them to be false and full of crap! Especially if they are drop dead gorgeous!

Couples whine that the singles did this or did that to upset them but most of the “singles” are false profiles just for wank tank refills , I believe lots of single lady profiles and indeed couples are false too.

So don’t come on here expecting a 11” cock, gym body, own place with a tongue like a snake and can breathe through his ears!

Make your expectations real, dream but don’t whine when it turns out to be a nightmare because of your own gullibility.

It shouldn’t happen but it does, the few spoil it for the many, regardless of what or who is in a fake profile, it’s still fake.

Just keep smiling and don’t let it spoil your day is all, be genuine and look for genuine people.

Paphos Cyprus.

Hi. I am English and moved from the uk and now live in paphos, Cyprus. I meet couples who come over here for holidays so the window is fairly small when arranging something. If the dates and times don’t match I tell them I am unable to meet. BUT. if things work out I ALWAYS meet as arranged. So not all guys are photo hunters or wind up merchants. I am here to meet and have fun with no ties just friendship and a good time.

Being a normal male (average looks and bit of extra fat), this really annoys me that people are being let down by us males. It's hard enough being an average Joe on this site so hearing that 'let downs' happen as often as this makes me think why even bother as not going to get meet.

The men that let people down are either sca_ed to go further than chat or there profile is fake in some way I.e getting pics from internet and posing as them or just bare face lieing.

Sorry for the rant but really annoyed me

I have to say it’s across the board for us. We have had people just disappear on the day, the hour or the minute. Never understand it as grownups all it takes is a no. I get we all change our minds sometimes for a variety of reasons, then just communicate that. We have also met some amazing people but the on the day let downs are extremely frustrating.

I never get let down but then I go that extra mile to make sure it's all going to be ok. I.e talk on the phone or correspond off this site etc. In doing so I may have lost out on meeting perfectly nice people who won't talk on the phone first or who are secretive in some way that prevents them from socialising. I don't want to waste anyone's time and I don't want mine wasted.In a club you socialise before playing even if it's just chatting in a hot tub or at the bar.You establish some form of connection however brief but it's in real time and something will happen or it won't. On this site you have to find a different mechanism and using the messaging system does not really work given the relative ratio of men and women .
