Twice in same week potential male meets have now let’s us down. Time, effort, money all gone to waste. Cancelled few hours prior to the meet due to other commitments.

Why bother coming here and having lengthy chats and committing a meet if not able to fulfil the word. Shame really, as it puts more genuine people under bad light .

Did you have sex chat with them? About what you'd do at the meet?

This is why Fab frustrates me!

Just when I think I have found a genuine single man, he stands me up!

I always report those who do stand me up and then block

Unless they have actually given me enough time and warning with an actual reason!

This is why I don’t do first time play meets, it’s always a social, if they can’t show up for that then I don’t trust them to make further plans where money is required!!

That’s right we did and after going through those initial steps agreed to meet mutually. One had remembered to go to a festival other one just didn’t bother responding on the day . Lol at our expense why not eh.

Book rooms with free cancellation. At least they let you know rather than just not showing up.

Because we also lost money with no shows at hotels it's been club meets for us since the last one stood us up. The only exception is if we talk beforehand and it's at the guys expense

I don't engage in what is known as wankchat as those are generally the fantasists who only want to blow their load and move on to the next.

The first time I was stood up was the first and last time I gave someone a second chance. Because I was stood up again. Learning curve from the first few months.

Unfortunately I'm now fab battle weary and it takes quite some time to agree to meeting anyone new. Because it's only through time I can gauge whether they are fantasist or not.

Others have suggestions with regards to hotels but maybe suggest meeting halfway each time. It's only fair.

We had a couple of no shows the other week. One from a guy who sent us a message saying he just realised he had no car insurance, minutes after we gave him our address. We posted on the forum our displeasure, without naming him, then got ourselves a 48 hour ban.

I genuinely feel most like the chase, they like to feel they can get a meet..

But when it comes to crunch time many can’t live upto the picture they’ve painted of themselves..

Or there pics are old or not them atall..

Such a shame but it’s getting to be like a tacky social media on here where people want attention for themselves or their pictures..

Best thing you can do is arrange a social meet first, rather than going to the expense of booking a hotel straight away OP. Lesson learned. Time wasting is done by men, women and couples. You soon get to know the signs with experience.

Top tips..

1. Don't take things off fab

2. Don't engage in wank chat

3. Don't swap endless pics

4. Don't travel ridiculous distances

5. Do pay a bit extra so you can cancel the hotel if needed

6. Do listen to your gut instinct, it's normally right

7. Do arrange a social in a public place before any sex

8. Do report any no show to admin

9. If a couple, speak to both halves.

10. Use common sense, if it's too good to be true, it probably is.

We used to do it the other way around. Plan a weekend away, hotels booked anyway & then see if someone wanted to join us. If not or we had a no show it was no big deal as you were away for the weekend anyway.

There's no way we'd book hotels based on a strangers "I'll be there" No matter who they were. There are too many fantasists on here for sure, just as there are "Singles" that aren't & 39/49yr olds that aren't, but you don't have to play their game unless you choose to

Also with a bit of thought it’s almost always possible to book a hotel at the last minute when everyone has turned up. Eg check the usual websites for availability.

Why should the guy have to pay upfront? If you can't accommodate surely you should pay. You can book flex rates where you can cancel up to usually 2pm. If they haven't confirmed by then cancel the room. Or book the room on the day.

I've had a couple of ladies not turn up without any warning or follow up message. It's frustrating. I learned my lesson the first time after travelling some distance.

Plenty of time wasters for us, excuses include couldn’t find anywhere to park, overslept, suddenly to nervous to meet with male half present so can I just meet the female? Err nope! I forgot I have a christening to go to, I’ve got to play football instead! The list goes on.

Fortunately we have also met some very reliable people who have turned up either last minute or as pre arranged.

We always book hotels before arranging a meet as we enjoy spending time away together as a couple. If a meet happens from there then great, if not also great as we sure know how to enjoy each other’s company

This is what my FWB and me do, when we meet as a couple. We’ve only ever had one ‘no show’, which was a single women that partner says he thinks he spotted in the hotel bar and then walked out before calling us to say she had car trouble.

Didn’t think we were that unapproachable, even to say ‘no thanks’!

Oh I never said guy lol only asked how sharing hotel costs worked as someone must still have to pay up front!

Personally I pay and take as a weekend adventure whether they show or not but have always had a social first anyway

"Can someone explain how you do shared costs with a hotel please? Can't get head around someone still has to pay up front?

Thanks!

Get the guy to pay , prove he’s paid then when you meet either give him half or buy the drinks etc .

That’s the tricky part

We had to let a couple down but sent them a pic to show our windscreen had been smashed so they new we weren't Time wasters.

If there one thing we hate is letting others down. We know how valuable people's time are.

We had it done to us at the beginning of the holidays. They didn't even message to say they weren't coming. So that block button does come in handy lol.

If ever I was fortunate enough to achieve a meet from here (some chance !!!) I would never let anyone down. I always keep appointments, just will not let folk down......

I was let down a few times by the same guy a few year back then found out he was married through someone who knows his wife & daughter, it knocked me sick as I had met him numerous times. I ended it immediately & blocked him, they could be genuine or....

I was let down last night by someone who has been chasing me for weeks. No cancellation, no explanation, no show. And they are verified.

They are now history, no second chances in circumstances like that.

But onwards and upwards!

This is a problem that's difficult to avoid, I find the more searching questions result in mistrust so it's difficult to be sure. One lady I made contact with did face time several calls and gave number so all seemed genuinely good. Now I live in Spain and to prove good intentions I booked and paid for the flight, no biggy was easy jet, so immediately after I gave the details I was met with stoney silence all for £40. Why do it that it spoils future trust. She actually missed out on a 2 week holiday all food and drink provided. Signed MR cynical!!

We have also discovered not to bother with guys who insist on using kik, silence usually follows after a few initial chats. We have come to the conclusion rightly or wrongly that these guys aren’t single at all and delete the app when wife or gf is around safe in the knowledge they haven’t given their number out

1st got a response from someone

2nd chatted

3rd agreed a meet

The first stage being the hardest

Then a no show

Baffles the hell out of me

Some people get the jitters last minute but to have forked out your own money for hotel etc and them not show is a bit disgusting no matter what.

If I had something last minute crop up I'd offer to forward some money at least.

"Twice in same week potential male meets have now let’s us down. Time, effort, money all gone to waste. Cancelled few hours prior to the meet due to other commitments.

Why bother coming here and having lengthy chats and committing a meet if not able to fulfil the word. Shame really, as it puts more genuine people under bad light . "

10 years swinging, and never been stood up or had a no-show or had our time wasted.

We don't engage in "sex chat" before a meet.

We don't book a hotel in advance.

We don't meet "single males unless we have got to know them from the social scene.

I always keep my promises and meet promptly.

I’ve found couples to be the main culprits for letting you down on the day.

You make childcare arrangements and are let down,after making plans,swapping messages,Kik and photo exchanges.

"It happens

The guy initially wants to fuck you, he doesn’t care what you look like and will agree to all the demands, after all he is horny, later on when his libido is somewhat satisfied from self indulgence he reacquaints himself with the profile, the lady doesn't look so hot, now he’s satisfied and the list of demands just annoys him, now he gives it all a wide berth

Surely people realise this? "

Unfortunately not the same for guys, we have been stood up while sitting in a hotel waiting with no message just no show.

Seems to go with territory, good job we can still enjoy ourselves without needing the sextoys, but is flustrating. "
