OK so the thread discussing other apps has been deleted.
But after a year of a pandemic as a single I'm kinda done been single.
Now I don't want marriage or moving in with someone buy I'm thinking a beneficial friendship is what I want.
Good company with lots of hot sex and a bit of a laugh in between.
When or why did it get so hard to find |

I'd say alot of singles are feeling the same way both male and female.. If you wanted to stay in this lifestyle you could always do that with someone here if that's what you decided. Stranger things have happened.. Definitely miss the company some nights.. |

I've never been married and never want to be. I've been there with a long relationship never again and that's why I'm only on fab and no other app. This past yr I've missed sex and socialising but not once have I ever considered a relationship the only thing that Interests me is a fuck buddy. I answer to me and me alone.. |

1) Doesn't use condoms hopes thats not a deal breaker
2) wants me to call over day time tomorrow while his wife is at work
3) I'm not in limerick but sure the restrictions don't matter I'll travel over 40k
Just a few of the stellar offers I've had this weekend

Well at least it wasn't straight off the bat I suppose. I've had some interesting conversations about this lately, face to face conversations. I'm quite fascinated with these kinds of interactions actually. For me this is where the chats are happening. I send out the odd message but people are not meeting so what's the point. We're not just here for chats. |

A long time before 2021, I'll tell you that for nothing! It's been a struggle to meet someone you fancy, are compatible with, and wants the same thing for very many years now. Personally I think it's to do with app culture, people thinking something better is available. That and we don't have the NEED to settle down anymore so there's less urgency - so many people in previous generations (and ours too tbh) just settled. |

very true. People don't know how to have an argument now. They just jump to the app again to line something up. Arguments aren't rows, you disagree you make up and that's a lot of fun. If you put two adults in any situation people will disagree. The grass is always greener on apps and gives a false sense of missing out on perfection. |

I like the idea of people going towards an independent type life, a relationship as the op describes of sex and friendship, but live in their own houses, no kids, their own money, nothing really shared. That can be hard to find and classed as odd or weird here in Ireland.
I feel Ireland in the last few years has evolved greatly and is more open minded, people are starting to live they way they want, however I’m still surprised to see the majority of young people still going down the road of big wedding, 3 kids and a mortgage like something out of the 70’s and following the rules of the Catholic Church. Maybe it’s an Irish thing they can’t escape? What’s your thoughts? |

I find it strange that you would link marriage, 3 kids and a mortgage to 'rules of the Catholic Church'. Some people want it and are not religious at all  |

Totally, I can see what you mean, I guess my statement would not apply to everyone, but I’m speaking from what I’ve seen, people non religious who never go to mass, having big weddings in the local church, having their baby’s baptized in the local church, never to step foot in it again. Big communions and confirmations. Has a very 70s and 80s feel to it for me. |

I think it might be difficult to find a fwb these days, especially on Fab.
I have better luck outside the Fabworld but maybe the reason is that my preferences are ladies not gents |

I think Irish society has moved away from the tradition of dating than get engaged get married buy house have kids but some people still value them traditions and if they do what harm.
I'm at stage in my life where I just want to enjoy it and be happy with my friends and family and if some guy came along and made it better well thats a bonus. |

I find it strange that you would link marriage, 3 kids and a mortgage to 'rules of the Catholic Church'. Some people want it and are not religious at all
Totally, I can see what you mean, I guess my statement would not apply to everyone, but I’m speaking from what I’ve seen, people non religious who never go to mass, having big weddings in the local church, having their baby’s baptized in the local church, never to step foot in it again. Big communions and confirmations. Has a very 70s and 80s feel to it for me. "
Ok so it's more the church weddings and baptisms than actual marriage and kids that you question? I would say it has to do with keeping the families happy than anything else. Also many city and large town schools will still prioritise christened children over non-christened kids unfortunately. Some might view marriage (and even kids) negatively as a church tradition, but there are many, many benefits to both |

The last year has been tough being single and I’ve found many of these places and dating sites are gone super quiet people don’t come on cause they can’t meet. I had bad social anxiety and have been doing therapy the past year and am in a much better place with new skills but no where to go socialise to use them  . Hopefully this will pass and we will be able to get out again. |

"OK so the thread discussing other apps has been deleted.
But after a year of a pandemic as a single I'm kinda done been single.
Now I don't want marriage or moving in with someone buy I'm thinking a beneficial friendship is what I want.
Good company with lots of hot sex and a bit of a laugh in between.
When or why did it get so hard to find
A long time before 2021, I'll tell you that for nothing! It's been a struggle to meet someone you fancy, are compatible with, and wants the same thing for very many years now. Personally I think it's to do with app culture, people thinking something better is available. That and we don't have the NEED to settle down anymore so there's less urgency - so many people in previous generations (and ours too tbh) just settled.
Very true. very true. People don't know how to have an argument now. They just jump to the app again to line something up. Arguments aren't rows, you disagree you make up and that's a lot of fun. If you put two adults in any situation people will disagree. The grass is always greener on apps and gives a false sense of missing out on perfection.
Its a disposable society. People are always looking for the next best thing or the shinier thing. "
This is my absolute fear. That people don’t stick it out anymore.
My relationship with a guy I met on Fab has just come to an end after 3+ years and I’m really dreading the thought of dating apps. Yet I don’t want to be single forever - it’s so hard to meet someone I fancy the arse off but also have a great friendship with. I don’t want to settle like some friends have and that’s before I’ve even brought up the idea of this lifestyle to them.
I know I met my ex on here but it seems to be rare and pure luck  |

"I like the idea of people going towards an independent type life, a relationship as the op describes of sex and friendship, but live in their own houses, no kids, their own money, nothing really shared. That can be hard to find and classed as odd or weird here in Ireland.
I feel Ireland in the last few years has evolved greatly and is more open minded, people are starting to live they way they want, however I’m still surprised to see the majority of young people still going down the road of big wedding, 3 kids and a mortgage like something out of the 70’s and following the rules of the Catholic Church. Maybe it’s an Irish thing they can’t escape? What’s your thoughts?"
I want to share my life with someone. I'm very independent, enjoy living alone, no fear of being single, but I'd definitely prefer to have a partner to enjoy things with. I'd also like to get married, and I'd like to have a kid, too. But I will be a very long way from following the rules of the Catholic Church if and when any of those things happen!! My desire for companionship and family has nothing to do with religion. |
