I think fabs should no longer let single men create an account.. Also, all the accounts owned by single men thats not been photo verified or had a meet in the last 3 years should be deleted.

Single men no longer have a value on fabs because there's too many of us.

Voyeurs probably don't meet. The exhibitionists need voyeurs.

I didnt mean it as an insult to single guys.

The ratio of single guys to women is like 10:1

The less number of single guys the more valuable the existing numbers.

Wouldn't the answer be to get more women on the site?

Ask your sisters, mums, aunties. Ask your mate's girlfriends, boss at work, the woman in the corner shop. Get them all shagging on here.

I agree that any dormant account that hasn't been used in over a year should be removed from the site, including couples and singles.

But for some, this site is a lifeline and their only communication and contact with others wanting to be in these kind of circles.

Just because they haven't met anyone, doesn't mean they aren't using the site correctly.

We all use the site as we see fit and for our own purposes

How would deleting dormant accounts help? If they are dormant they are not affecting the number of active single men.

You didn’t say dormant accounts originally, you said ones that haven’t had a meet in 3 years. They could be active every day, but you think they should be deleted because they don’t have a veri in the last 3 years (which doesn’t necessarily mean no meets by the way).

Single men have plenty of value on here for a lot of us.Withiut single men I wouldn't even be on here .

The amount of men isn't the issue and it is usually used as an excuse why some don't do as well.So no I don't agree with deleting existing accounts or not allowing new accounts or in fact making men jump through hoops to be here. Everyone has as much right to be here and use the site as they want without having to have new veris or photo veris which anyhow does not make an account genuine anyhow.

Ok seems my opinion is unpopular oh well

I only said it coz I know females that get 1000 messages from single guys..

Imagine if that dropped to 50 guys, that would give more value to those guys...

1000 guys messaging a woman reduces the chances for each of those guys

But like I said its my opinion anyways

Even reducing the numbers of single guys doesn't automatically mean your going to get a meet ...... if I get a 100 messages and none meet what im looking for then thats a 100 no thanks so dropping to 50 only means I send less no thanks

It wouldn’t though. It doesn’t matter if I have 1,000 crap messages or 50, I’m still not answering any of them. Even when I got 100s of messages a day, back at the beginning, I never missed out on anyone because of volume of messages. With most women, if a man (or couple, or woman) stands out, he’ll stand out regardless of number of messages.

And you haven’t really addressed why you think *other* men should be removed while leaving you here to (you think) reap the benefits?

That absolutely has worked for me. I haven’t even had to use all my filters or make them really strict, I only use one, but it’s brought my daily messages down to maybe 10 a day, up to 20 on a busy day. It’s very peaceful!

As someone said previously, dormant accounts don't actually show on searches, unless you actively look for them. The only use would be to free up space on website than reduce the number of men.

There have been many suggestions over the years to reduce the number of men, usually by those who can't use the site to their advantage. What it does do, is give everyone choice. Couples, single females etc. Not everyone will suit someone. You wouldn't actually make it easier for men, you would just make it more difficult for those couples and single females looking for someone that interests them.

It's not the number that is the problem anyway, it's the quality but the decent guys always stand out in the end. Go to any social and you will probably find the top 1%. The dreamers and wannabes don't bother turning up.

Personally I do well on fabs myself thankfully. That's because I've been on since 2014 and I've learnt how to use the site. The first 2 years was difficult for me on the site. But I learnt that profile and the quality of the first messaging plays a vital role in standing out..

My suggestion was just for other guys who are finding it hard on here.

All members have their own preferences at the moment. As a single guy myself it became very apparent from the get go I was up against it with regard to getting meets and in a perverse way that was the impetus to make me myself more desirable/acceptable as a potential friend/lover.

Absolutely spot on.

The suggestion of reducing the number of single men on the site falls into the same category as those who try to make themselves look better by putting others down.

As many have said, the number of men makes absolutely no difference.

I'm wondering if the origins of this idea is perhaps along the lines of thinking that women actually go searching on fab and that the OP might stand a better chance of being spotted in a search if the numbers were lower.

Who knows?

What I do know is that the numbers make no difference.

I think if you’re a male seeking female then the guys should be restricted to only replying to messages. I bet women are bombarded and simply overwhelmed and leave site…

Would then make males make their profiles better and more photos etc. Although happily take feedback on my profile

Some of the suggestions on here, it’s clear nobody thinks them through.

Stop men sending the first message and men will leave in droves, the site will lose revenue. In my experience the successful men on here are successful because the write well thought out messages and get responses.

Another downside to all this men “ shouldn’t be able to do this or that” is that that the number of fake profiles will increase rapidly as men will try to get around the restrictions.

The site works perfectly if you give some thought to how you use it and set filters accordingly. The smart people already know this.

You are a star to send out "thank but no" messages. Not everyone does that because of the time they would spend doing it.

it would surely make more sense to recruit & attract more women to the site rather than reduce the number of men ?

"it would surely make more sense to recruit & attract more women to the site rather than reduce the number of men ? "

That's going to be hard work as the attrition rate must be high when women are bombarded with moronic messages on joining and leave as a result.

Ding ding ding! Winner winner, chicken dinner.

My other half knew how fab works via our couples account and is more than happy to meet solo but she has little interest in using fab directly or even talking to.men on here due to how bad it is.

Within 5 mins of activating her account (litterally before adding any photos or profile info) she had about 50 messages in her inbox from guys, many of which had completely unsolicited dick pics.

Shes not even interested in meeting guys and that was written on her profile.

Obvisouly setting up her filters fixed that but that would be more than enough to put a lot of people off.

Fab needs an overhaul....badly.

Even its it's just a case of setting up message filters during the profile.activation process rather than after, would be a start.

The filters do work and get the job done but if youre a mobile user, they're not exactly intuitive.

I,m not here to say who can or can not be on the site but the more single.female accounts you check out, the more you see many of the serious ladies stick to just the clubs now.

Were we not planning on.leaving fab but we are certainly looking for a better place that connects couples and bi fems and that looks like clubs and socials, not fab these days.

limit the amount of messages further for free accounts

prioritise messages from gold and silver members

make email activation a proper thing to reduce multiple accounts

and for safety of members

Theres no doubt loads more but the fact is they don't seem to be bothered.

The best men may have yet to join. The current men are just a tiny minority of men, so could be the best or worst, etc.

Choice is what makes the site work. Self-selection gets rid of many here who find they can't cut it. Turnover of users is quite high, from newer users, who have unrealistic expectations and won't invest the effort it needs. But it needs the new guys to come here, to replenish those who fail to match what others want or match their own demands.

Without new guys the site would become stale. You can see the low standards of many men, even under the high levels of competition. It would probably fall a lot, if competition was reduced

It's a free to use site that's fairly freely open. The onus is on us here to do due diligence and make appropriate filtering of others, so that we find those who likely match our needs. Ignore those who aren't photo or other verified, if you want to. Not everyone is here for active sexual partners recruitment - it has a lot more to offer.

"I think fabs should no longer let single men create an account.. Also, all the accounts owned by single men thats not been photo verified or had a meet in the last 3 years should be deleted.

Single men no longer have a value on fabs because there's too many of us. "

Well if you're offering to leave and leave some enough room for the rest it would be a gentleman thing to do

No one said anything about a pity shag. That's very unattractive...I like to think that We live in a civilised society and everyone is entitled to my opinion...

I'm surprised at the number of men that oppose the idea but hey ho it's an eye opener to me...I kind of see it from your perspective and your reasons are very logical, it's another angle.

Below is also one of the reasons that made me suggest this: Alot of women like the attention from 1000 men, especially women with confidence issues....so some of them might prefer to have the ratio of men to women on here to be like a million to 1.. just so they can say to their friends see I have over a thousand men messaging me as a confidence boost. Also because they know that in the real world no chance on earth would they have a thousand men show interest in them.

My opinion is just what is it: MY OPINION. You have yours and i have mine..

The moderator probably won't do anything about it because they can tell its a biased suggestion and I know its biased..

There's always going to be more men than woman that's just the way it is.

Why limit the number of guys? If you don't want to meet a single guy then you can set your account accordingly but if you do, why put a limit on the ones to pick from.

Those guys pay to be on here so take away that revenue stream and the rest of us would probably have to pay more.

This and other "swinging" sites are never going to be perfect and will always need a little tweak every now and then but limiting single guys is much more than a little tweak.

Ah Ok, so now you're speaking for women and telling us we are so desperate for you horny men to give us attention because we are too ugly to get that attention in the real world?

Yet you're the one asking for less men because you don't like competition?

The issue is the number of guys who are using the site for free..gives them a licence to use and abuse..which puts genuine Single makes to shame.

If anything I would take away the free option and make everyone a site supporter.

It would lower the numbers of site members .However, it would mean I think a lot less dick heads and time wasters on the site. It may also increase revenue for site owners?

Currently as far as reputations go Fan doesn't score highly as something that is worth all the effort and trawling through time wasters and fame profiles .

If word got out the site actually worked not just for couples and a everyone has a fair chance ..people would join up in bigger numbers perhaps?

But these 1000 messages might be nothing that would be interesting to the female as females have preferences it's not all about messages but if they find them attractive everyone fits in somewhere with someone.

"I didnt mean it as an insult to single guys.

The ratio is probably much higher than 10 to 1. Certainly seems that way in our area.

Within a 20 mile radius of us:

Searching single women brings up around 90 women who have been active in the last 48 hours.

Searching single guys its 360 active within the last hour (360 being the cap it seems for searching)

Searching couples brings up about 200 accounts active in the last 10 hours.

Have whatever opinion you like about all the single guys on fab but the numbers prove its disproportionate. There isnt a snowballs chance in hell they are all getting meets. If they are, I feel truely sorry for whoever is taking that gangbang on lol.

At the end of the day, the message filters do their job and no one here has the right to say who can and cant join the site.Completely agree those are some seriously disproportionate numbers but unless couples and single ladies start using another platform (that takes user numbers and balance into account), nothing is likely to change. Fab will only act when Fab starts to lose money and obviously they are not right now.

A single meet isn't your only option for verification.

1) Become webcam verified (simplest to do).

2) Attend a social event.

3) Attend a club.

The women that will only meet verified accounts are well within their right to do so. A lot of people (us included) have negative past experience's with people who are not verified. Not showing up, time wasting etc etc. Photo verification is just that. Just a photo which can be easily faked these days. Getting double verified is just an extra level of showing you are who you claim to be.

It's not a guarantee to get meets of course but it's a good start to showing you're serious because you have gone through the extra steps.

"I agree that any dormant account that hasn't been used in over a year should be removed from the site, including couples and singles.

But for some, this site is a lifeline and their only communication and contact with others wanting to be in these kind of circles.

Just because they haven't met anyone, doesn't mean they aren't using the site correctly.

We all use the site as we see fit and for our own purposes "

How do dormant accounts affect the imbalance? The fact that they are dormant means they have zero effect.

If you can't take the competition or play safe in a pandemic may I politely suggest your type be banished to make way? Dear oh dear, why do guys like you pop up like whack a mole all too often.

"I agree that any dormant account that hasn't been used in over a year should be removed from the site, including couples and singles.

But for some, this site is a lifeline and their only communication and contact with others wanting to be in these kind of circles.

Just because they haven't met anyone, doesn't mean they aren't using the site correctly.

We all use the site as we see fit and for our own purposes

How do dormant accounts affect the imbalance? The fact that they are dormant means they have zero effect. "

Lool good point

"Would it be possible to ask , on Fab some women say that they will only meet men who are verified by a meet , how are men ment to get a verification meet if they can’t get a meet to begin with ? this comment isn’t to offend , I would just like to understand.

A single meet isn't your only option for verification.

1) Become webcam verified (simplest to do).

2) Attend a social event.

3) Attend a club.

The women that will only meet verified accounts are well within their right to do so. A lot of people (us included) have negative past experience's with people who are not verified. Not showing up, time wasting etc etc. Photo verification is just that. Just a photo which can be easily faked these days. Getting double verified is just an extra level of showing you are who you claim to be.

It's not a guarantee to get meets of course but it's a good start to showing you're serious because you have gone through the extra steps.

I’m not here to be fake , no point to it , I’m a real guy , would any ladies be able to verify me by webcam at all ?

"Tell me, what do you think the end result of your proposal would be?"

The end result would surely be a Hunger Games-style tournament where the active ‘genuine’ men left are expected to fight to the death on an island armed only with giant dildos.

The final 10 are crowned champions and have one harvest cycle in which to be chosen by the women before membership is reopened and another tournament arranged.

At this point the previous 10 champions are sent off to fabguys to reflect on their life choices.

The solution is simple, and effective, and potentially loses money, so it will never be implemented.

Better filtering, so you only ever see, get seen or receive messages by people who match a criteria set by you.

Had a meet in the last x amount of months.

Has a display picture

Has more than x amount of photos.

But all these filters would mean the guys that use fab as a porn site, would eventually stop being able to see people who’s settings didn’t match, and would cancel supporter status.

Why bother if the only profiles you can see are mostly fakes, or women who made an account to catch an ex cheating and sign in once in a while to sass people.

Personally, I’d up the price of those features to cover the cost of the lost subscriptions, but that could get wild seeing as a lot of guys join and sign up purely to send dick pics to unsuspecting girls.

That is a solution I agree with. I could marry you

It would make fabs more efficient to use and you only send message, recieve message and meet those that are in your criteria..

I very much doubt that's it. Unless fab has logged my IP address from over a year ago, though I was of the understanding that my IP address was dynamic (i.e. not fixed) and would unlikely be the same as around a year ago.

I just assumed that fab had made it mandatory for new members to photo verify, as I've also noticed the additional security measures at login

"Single men no longer have a value on fabs because there's too many of us.

If you're distinctive, polite and patient, you have value here. Socials are starting up again. Get to know people properly and things start to happen.

I think that's true..but quite a lot of guys are fed up trying to swim against the tide of idiots and time wasters and cant really be bothered anymore..

Yes mate you are right.. You spend 3 months getting to know a couple only for them to ghost on you in a hotel you paid £150 in a city that's 80 miles away hahaha.

But u gotta keep the faith, there are genuine People on fabs, positivity is key.."

Had to laugh:

I got ghosted at a Travel Inn in Cornwall. There was suspicious stains on the stool and sofa from previous visitors (cum stains) and used the 100% satisfaction promise to get a full refund..

Worked out well as I left and bumped into a couple not far away at a dogging spot and stayed the night with them.

Look at it another way.

If, as a single guy, you get a meet, you have competed against 100's in your area and been sucessful.

If there were an even ratio of men to women, or even worse more women than men, your achievement would be diluted.

If the ratio of women to men was 10:1, meeting wouldn't neccesarily be easier and any meets you did get would be a hollow victory.

Out of the millions of sperm that your dad chucked out, you were the succcessful one that got to the egg. You are already a winner in the game of life.

I say this in all due respect but the sites not just about you.

I totally appreciate your right to pick and choose who you respond to. That is not in debate.

But what we do need to debate is that many of those guys are not going to get meet and they're not of interest to a lot of other users on the site. No matter how you look at it, when it's something like 3 or 400 men to each single.l lady on the site (which is certainly.the ratio in our area) at least 95%% of those guys are not getting a meet.

Now it's easy to say "just use your message filters" but this last month we have had to deal with a lot of fake couples account. How on earth they are getting verified I do not not know but last week alone we where contact by 4 "couples accounts" that turned out to just be single guys, one of whom had the gall to say he did it just so couples would talk to him as no one was responding to his single male account.

There is absolutely no way you can have this discussion without sounding elitist or without sounding like you want to kick single guys off the site (we dont) but the reality is, its having a negative in effect. The site is absoultely swamped by single fellas and so.e of them are quite slimy individuals indeed.

When single women are in high demand and short supply and a good chunk of couples are not interested in single guys maybe some limitations so need to be put in place? Not to stop guys joining per se but to make sure they certainly cant make fraudulent accounts so easily.

I think the amount of fake accounts is probably smaller than people think. I think it's pretty harsh saying many men will never meet and are not of interest to alot of site users. Alot of single females aren't interested in couples, shall we limit couples too?

The site provides everything you need in order to reduce unwanted contact, yes, some people will slip through the next, but the issue isn't as big as people make it.

Hahah not sure that's what women want..but my opinion, you have just 1 pic of your cock and your profile doesn't exactly describe who you are and what you can offer and the ratio of men to women on this site is like 100 to 1. I've been on this site 6 years since my 19th birthday I've learnt the hard way how to use the site.

You're better off going on tinder, uploading some pics of yourself and getting a cutie hehe

Fantastic debate. Some really good opinions and suggestions. Im a single guy and i have learnt that some guy's don't do us normal genuine respectful men any justice. Spamming sending abuse for lake of response isn't how a man conducts himself so i do get why we are the villains of the site. I don't send messages unless i like the bio and that's what they are looking for. I've learnt that if they like what they read and like what they see then they will contact you. I thought a wink was a way to say hi i see you which is non pushy but once again been told that's not correct either?? We all have a different way of seeing profile's. I have had a brilliant meet but didn't need verification as if we take the time to get to know each other the couple or lady will see im no Billy bullshit and i conduct myself as an adult so my word is as honest as myself. Just my _iew that's all.
