a house on a hill, Newport

Some of the people that read this will have met us. Most of the people who read will have not.

As a couple that originally met on Fab (despite the hiatus I remind her CONSTANTLY about whenever I get chance), we have grown together, bonded together, bought a house together and try to continue with the Fab lives we had but in a way that doesn't change us.

All the while we are still two very different people, two very different personalities but wanting the same thing whilst still trying to be a part of 'Fab'. To swing.

Over time it's becoming ever harder to meet new people. I don't mean to play with, but to just say to oneself 'oh, haven't seen you before'. Whether we've wanted to talk to them or smile politely as they pass, new people are becoming less frequent. Is that just us?

Then there is the whole 'Lord Marmite is a cunt' which let's face it is a bit of fact that can't be ignored, all things considered. And so by proxy Lillia gets labeled too. Surely she's a victim somewhere in this, right? Why is she still there.....?

I have made some friends along my journey, some only wanted to know me whilst I was single because I was offering the single guy energy in their lives. Some people found me a sentient rage dump with the ability to recycle that back to them in a way that they could use. A sort of emotional recycling plant. Others, lost touch, moved away, some people I wish I had tried harder to stay in contact with but didn't because my 'need to be important' meant that they didn't message me for an entire month once Lillia came along (it's not all her fault, really, just mostly lol).

We're looking at other websites for swinging connections because as much as Fab worked for us initially, it no longer does. It sounds arrogant like "we've found ours, see you later bitches" but it's not that. It's the constant logging on to dozens of people messaging "Can my Mr pound ur Mrs" when we have status up expressly stating that we are only visible for verification/attendance acceptance.

It's the constant Wales forum threads. Beach threads. Chams how do I get in as a single male. Meet now in the back of my garden in the shed wearing a gnome outfit whilst you are dressed as Santa. Constant constant nonsense and people just lacking any perception of the things they say or do. Status's of people saying that they are wanting to have someone walk in through their back garden gate in to their kitchen and drop to their knees and suck them off, walk away and that's that.

Like where is the moderation? Where is the 'if you are the only one thinking about it, there is probably a reason why?' attitude? Is it just me? Am I just so far gone?

Is swinging just Fab, or is Fabbing not the same as swinging? Is Fab like a dumbed down version and we've yet to find the elite level where people are actually making sense? Kinda like the movie 'Now You See Me' where they get invited to the Magic Circle.

Or is it simply because I have the ability to seriously upset people with words, my intentions about what we want and because they are not compatible or prepared to be compatible with everything and everyone else that I find we struggle? Because many many people will attest, in person we aren't that bad when we turn up and chat with people.

Don't know. Is it us. Is this the wrong place. Do we need to step back. Our friends are always welcome to message privately (or not) because it's not a popularity contest.

Fab ain't what it was. Is it just us?

Flame away, Forum Admins, we are prepared so let it fly. Thanks in advance.

-Lord

It sounds like Fab isn't healthy for you at the moment

I also think, and with all due respect, you're over estimating the amount of people on here who give you any thought, either way. I highly doubt there are many people on her wasting their thinking time about "Mr Marmite being a cunt" 99.9% of Fab members likely couldn't care less about Mr Marmite.

As I would advise to anyone if you're getting negative by in vibes from Fab, then leave. All the best

So you can see then, that it's Fab that could be the issue, not swinging. Because having just been to Swingathon, a Chams visit last week and highly likely tomorrow, it's not the swinging that's the harm, it's Fab?

I think the reasons you are having problems is because of you, not Fab. I don't wish to be unkind so I am not going to comment any further on the issue. I just suggest you look at yourself as opposed to blaming Fab. Take care

So you could have said that 3 responses ago and saved some people some reading. Thanks!

You sound really bitter and angry, I don't know why. I hope you're ok. A break from this site may help you.

Fab has changed vastly over the years from what it first was.

However, its society that has changed fab, and that's the way things are now.

People in my eyes have become lazy. They love the online life of swinging but fail to engage in the real life.

Back in the day, friendships were made that lasted, swinging nights out were about socialising, and play was always about build up and fun.

Now, it seems more get kicks on how many fabs they can get from their pictures, videos, and what reactions they get from their status.

Ill be honest, the scene would he totally lost without fab, and long may it continue to go on.

My advice to you both is to use it as a social calendar, and step back from everything else on the site.

Taking a break sometimes enables you to think more about what you want to get out of the scene and the site.

Oh and btw, you both have always been wonderful to me, and id be very sorry to see you both take a step back.

I agree with CJ. Even 6 years ago when I first joined at a friend’s recommendation, it has changed. I had a 2 year break due to health issues and being in vanilla relationships, and it definitely wasn’t what it used to be when I first joined.

However, having said that, it has helped me in finding the most amazing friendships, and even with all the crap I’ve gone through both from Fab and in vanilla life, veering off into different territory from the club, has given me so much experience, new friendships with people who have stood by me no matter what (CJ included in that) and friendships with people who initially judged the book by its cover and regretted doing so. I’m now often inundated by regular playmates I’ve met through all these events and different clubs that I rarely need to find any new sexual connections because I get enough, so now use Fab more as a social calendar to spend time with said friends. And if I make more new connections through that, then it’s more than enough for me.

There are a lot of time wasters, those who are all talk, who ghost or stand you up and those who never make the effort to meet people then sit and moan about it, so sometimes a break away is good, as is exploring new territories. It may be that your current exploration no longer works for you, so perhaps you need to change direction. However, a break is often refreshing and can be a huge benefit now and again when you’re feeling as you are. I know breaks have made a huge difference for me in the past.

I’ve never met you both, but seem like a decent couple from your forum posts, so it would be a shame to see you go. Having felt a similar way many a time on here, my inbox is always open for an ear ☺️

I also agree with CJ in that the scene has become lazy, I've been on FAB since 2012 and together as a couple since 2018. I'm sure CJ recalls the days when the Wales chat room was nigh on full every night and people mingling and joking online.

From having around 250 meets collectively in addition to all the socials, we only venture out to clubs on very rare occasions these days, predominantly down to what I percieve as todays society's obsession with gossip. Bring back the days of light socialising followed by naughty antics without the need to deep dive into peoples personal lives (not a dig at anyone specific, but the few do ruin it for the many)

I've met you (Lord), and it's fair to say we didn't exactly see eye to eye which is fine. But as a new guy, who was trying to dip his toes into the social side of things, you didn't exactly make me feel very welcome. Again, that's fine, to the point where I don't particularly want to attend another social event in case you were there. I have to thank you though, as I've seen the errors of my ways in regards to forum posts... now I just can't be arsed in the Welsh ones as much. It's probably not just you who's thankful of this. I hope you decide to stay though, you seem to know your shit. 👍🏼

It's nice to know after a while away and some messages with various people, phone calls and whatnot, that it is actually Fab (not the website, it's the local community using Fab - let's get it right) that's been the issue. Aphrodite had it right when he did his thing.

We're taking a very extended break from Fab. Not from swinging, but from Fab. The RatRace.

You will find us if you want to at clubs, socials, camping events (eg Swingathon) and Butlins adult weekenders when they happen.

Finally learned that I don't need to read literally every single forum post daily on the Wales forum to feel 'caught up' and 'relevant'.

Maybe MissP had a point. Maybe it was a little bit to do with me. My need to know. Maybe she never met me at all and could be a million miles off the mark but when you are aiming at stars in the sky,what does that matter.

Last forum post for a long time. Nobody will cry that's for sure. It's more like letting event organisers know, if you see us around, remember us .

See you at the clubs when we can, no matter what, they don't need validation .
