I pay a nominal fee for an easier experience. I wouldn't pay to access other members, or receive messages from them.

We are members of other sites where you do pay, but like here you can still access certain parts.

Having to pay does not get rid of fakes or time wasters, it maybe cuts the numbers down a little,but every site has more than it's fair share of the above.

Having to pay money is a deterrent. No one is going to pay money when they get nothing back.

I think a £10 fee would put off a lot of the fantasists, fakes and time wasters. Obviously not all of them, but it would certainly thin them out.

There's always new desperate men

If we assume theres just 1 million desperate men in the uk

And men make up 75% of the typical 20k online users and each man lasts one month. It would take 5.5 years for you to work through just those men

You realise people who can get sex though would just go get it without paying a tenner. The people who cant get sex wpuld sign up in hope even if they only sign up for one month they would then massivly out number everyone else

There and to the left a bit

Two reasons making it paid only aren't a good idea:

(1) It wouldn't change a thing, you'd still get those that don't "get" swinging/NSA signing up and paying the fee, and being just as disruptive as they are now.

(2) You think the level of entitlement from some users is bad now - imagine what it'd be like if they had all paid a fee? Can just see the posts along the lines of "I've paid good money to join this site but no-one wants to meet me - waste of time" - you get them even now, they'd be worse and more if people were forced to pay.

The site works perfectly well as it is - the key is knowing how to use it to maximise your enjoyment of it and minimise the irritation - the tools are there to do that.

I do agree to some extent, however the price of site support is quite small and the photo varification process is very easy , I believe it would enhance the site experience for all ,

We've seen fakes and weirdos who have been site supporters so a pay wall isn't the answer. A fiver for 60 days access to the extra site benefits is OK, given how much we use the site. I don't think we'd bother if it was more expensive.

No, works well as it is OP. The site supporter pass is there, but not compulsory. There are many genuine profiles that don't want to pay.

Fabswingers...fun, free and fabulous.

The ethos of the site is that it's free with the opportunity to contribute to support the site and gain extra features. Take away the free element and you remove one of fabs main attractions.

The minor problems we encounter after applying various filters and using our bs detector will not be solved by making people pay a fiver.

"Putting a charge on would certainly help, would a tenner a month hurt anyone who’s having a good time

I hope youd enjoy being the only woman on a site full of desperate men Desperate men ain't gonna pay if they get no action. They would drop like flies.

There's always new desperate men

If we assume theres just 1 million desperate men in the uk

And men make up 75% of the typical 20k online users and each man lasts one month. It would take 5.5 years for you to work through just those men

Only like 30,000 on this site though. It would iron a lot out I bet."

not really because the 30000 change regularly, usually when the wife catches them on here and unless you make the fee high it really will not deter too many of the pic hunters and guys that get off on trying their luck

I think people that pay should get better options on searches and be able to edit the way their profile looks and appears .

The site takes in a lot of revenue and there’s been very little changes over the years. All paying members currently get is more photos more cams and the ability to see whos looked at them .

Yes we have applied all the filters.

But a non paying profile can still see a great deal of a paying profile.

Our concern ,which is from recent experience, is that if someone wants to catch you in the lifestyle...a reporter or nosey neighbour they can easily, for free, set up a profile and view lots about you.

You do not have to look to hard on Google for profiles on Fab that have made the newspapers or online news reports.

It would be good to restrict what can be seen .

And probably due to recent data protection laws it is now a legal requirement to provide that.

It’s not about reducing competition, there are lots of 100% genuine people on this site that are neither site support or photo varified or who’s site support has lapsed and have not renewed it , I don’t wish to filter these options as this would not allow these profiles to interact with me , Maybe compulsory site support isn’t the answer however maybe a cooling off period of a week or 2 , where they have very limited interaction options , if there genuine they will either wait the 2 weeks or so or pay for site support.

Have everyone verify themselves before they can do anything. that would cut down alot too

I don't know if having guys pay but women/couples have the current system is particularly good and its pretty sexist even though the ratio's would even out more doing this. the aim would be to improve the number of women/ couples as opposed to lower the number of men

Either way taking out fakes etc is good.

I think the level of abuse i see some people get is pretty horrific, reporting could be taken more seriously, however this is open to abuse.

So many women join, only to leave within a few days. Someone i got talking to on snapchat very soon on said she got a message saying they recognised her and she only posted a body pic (no tattoos). How freaked out would you be.

I think the question is how do we get women/ couples to stay??

We could limit the amount of messages new accounts could receive? someone an hour in opening their inbox to receive 100 messages is pretty overwhelming.

Only paid accounts could message new accounts? I think this is a pretty good option!

If you think making this site a paid side is going to cut out fakes, idiots, dreamers and time wasters it won’t trust me.

I’ve been on paid dating sites thinking that it would cut out the above and be full of genuine guys who was serious about dating and it didn’t cut them out the sites was rife with them.

Don’t fix something that isn’t broken I say.

The site runs well be you a site supporter or not.

Just go with gut instinct if you think someone ain’t real or a time waster.

Subscriptions don't tend to work for sites like these. Site supporter is a good method of generating some income to keep the site going.

But site supporters should get some additional benefits. My top ones would be:

1. Ability to see everyone who's viewed my profile (non-contributors cannot)

2. Ability to see all forums (non-contributors only access selected ones)

3. Ability to see all public pictures (non-contributors only see 2-3 selected ones)

4. Ability to fab pictures (non-contributors cannot)

5. Ability to read published verifications (non-contributors can only see the summary)

These changes would not affect the free core aspect of the site which is to meet other swingers (by reading profiles, seeing verification summaries, messaging and chatrooms). But those who contribute would get additional functionality from the site. It would reduce the number of picture hunters and those not actively interested in swinging without any loss to the site.

Nope. I actually do support the site. No way would I join a fully paying site as 99.9% of them are scams. Half the paid sites out there spam you with fake winks, profile views and messages.

Some of them actually pay people to reply to your messages but of course they'll never meet you, it's just to keep that monthly subscription rolling in.

Personally I think you should have three months to try the site for free - that’s long enough to decide if it’s ‘for you’ or not - then be asked to become a site supporter or leave!

With that money we could have improved features like more search options (i’d Like to be able to search and filter by height and body type) and better club/event listings (chronological (date of event order) would help a lot - as would having clubs sectioned into areas! Finding an event or party to attend at the weekend can be an arduous process at the moment!

It is for some people. Not everybody wants to go on socials, be wined and dined and share their life dilemmas. Some people just want to have nsa sex with other people.

If they cant even be arsed to read the sites tools I'd be amazed of they read profiles. I suspect many if the people complaining are viewed the same as the people they are complaing about by others

Was thinking that there maybe could be an option for a members only section for those that want it, then realised that effectively there is - use the filter to block non members, which will create that members only section.

Think it works pretty well. I pay for the additional benefits and happy to do so. If people don't want to pay that's fine, but the site experience is significantly diminished. But every one has a choice.

As if the site owners will change anything?

I don't need to pay to prove I'm genuine. Also don't need to pay to meet anyone.

"What are fabbers view on that with this site, you have to be a paid up member only to access the site, no payment no access!!!! "

Nope. Wont work. The one reason Fab is as successful as it is is because it's free (and we are paying members).

You can block unverified and/or non paying members if it's an issue to you though.

"I have been on a few sites you pay for and unfortunately paying does not eradicate arsholes who put up fake profiles and generally fuck people around "

Yep! Think it naive to assume if this was a paid site it would automatically remove all the fakes and dreamers, because we all know fakes and dreamers don't have money!

"If you think making this site a paid side is going to cut out fakes, idiots, dreamers and time wasters it won’t trust me.

I’ve been on paid dating sites thinking that it would cut out the above and be full of genuine guys who was serious about dating and it didn’t cut them out the sites was rife with them.

Don’t fix something that isn’t broken I say.

The site runs well be you a site supporter or not.

Just go with gut instinct if you think someone ain’t real or a time waster. "

"No but if you haven't been verified within 6 months, your account should be removed. "

Why don't people run their profile how they see fit, and leave others to do the same?

It's not rocket science - you don't want to meet unverified people - that's your choice...don't!!! Some of us are able to make decisions of who to fuck without validation from a total stranger. If someone needs a total strangers opinion on whether they should meet another total stranger, that is their choice - it's not mine, but live and let live!

Not everyone can afford a £10tenner a month...

Can't we have at least one thing free??

I'm sure the owners of the site are earning a living from it... Good on em for not being greedy.

Totally agree - some people seem to have plenty of time and resources to spend on stringing others along...

I'm business sense I don't think it was the ethos fab ever wanted.

They want you to 'donate' when you can and give you perks for doing so.

I am sure if they was to move to this model plenty would leave and a Phoenix will no doubt come out of it offering the same service. Fabs will no doubt loose a lot of advertising income due to reduced subscribers and on the balance it might not pay off for them.

Plus the person who set it up would completely change their ethos and values potentially.

To summarise!

If payment is optional, members will happily pay. If payment is mandatory, the same people will refuse to pay

Yeah but those who pay aren't affected by those who don't, so what's their problem?

I definitely think it should. It's hardly expensive and it would get rid of so many idiots on here.

"I definitely think it should. It's hardly expensive and it would get rid of so many idiots on here. "

Actually it wouldn't - as has been said several times on this thread, other similar sites that you have to pay for as just as full of them.

Plus add to that the sense of entitlement they'd have if they had paid and it would only make things worse.

The site works perfectly well as it is if you approach it in the right way and with the right expectations and I really don't see a need to change that

What if you're not having a good time? I find this site can be hard work. OK I have a few people I chat with, but that's it.

Recently, I've been chatting to someone, getting on well, then I sent them a face pic and they immediately blocked me. OK I realise my face isn't under the control of the site owners but I felt like shit for several days afterwards, despite my skin being pretty thick I found that was a bit of a blow to my confidence. Like hell would I continue to pay an expensive monthly subscription to experience that again!
