"I did use other apps before and a pretty decent success rate. You just have to be careful of bunny boilers and husband hunters and make sure you're meeting someone that's looking for the same thing as yourself.
Ive only been using fab for a good while, mostly for fab friends and the forums.
That's not saying I haven't met anyone from fab or won't in the future.
I don't think it is all that fair to suggest that those looking for relationships on dating apps are "husband hunters". They are on dating apps, at the end of the day. You are free to use them as you so please, as long as you make the other person aware. Just because they may be looking for something more long-term, it doesn't mean they will settle for any so called husband. As to the use of the bunny boiler term, I know its origins, but I still feel it is misused 80% of the time and usually by men. Women regularly get labelled "crazy" by men and, more often than not, they are being gaslit. However, I don't know you, so I am just going to hope that you have come across an inordinate amount of so called bunny boilers and husband hunters in your time...
That's a pretty hefty response to what I wrote as my experience on dating apps. And as their title suggests, I was on them to date.
And just to clarify, I've ALWAYS made it clear what I was looking for but there are women on there that will tell you they're looking for the same but it doesn't take long for them to prove differently .And I'm sure the same applies to men on the apps.
And I wasn't saying that anyone looking for a relationship is a husband hunter or anything else. They are the ones that have the decency to be honest about what they want and I respect that. I don't know what kind of number is classed as inordinate but for the most part I have met them through dating apps. Hence I now stick to fab where at least I know here is a non committal site.
After all that I would like to apologize to you that you read my post wrong and hope you now understand what I meant "
Yes, I suppose it is. I was struck by the use of both of those terms, hence the reply.
I am not a man, so my experience of the apps/other will obviously vary to yours. I accept the points you have made and I understand better, so thank you.
I still feel that women are too easily labelled as some form of crazy, whereas this doesn't seem to happen to men as much. Maybe your experience is different? My own opinion is informed by my own experience, in particular what I have witnessed. So many male seeking female profiles state that they want absolutely "no drama", as though drama is exclusive to women. Invariably, it often means that they want NSA sex, free of any responsibility towards the other person, which is fine, if it suits the other person. Drama is not a person having boundaries and requirements around how that encounter is fulfilled.
Anyway, those are just my thoughts. All the best with the dating/other!  |
