I've been on the site for a week or 2 now (still a newbie, I know) and I keep seeing people who are all familiar. I know people meet at socials and stuff, but how do you guys go about becoming friends on the site?
I don't wanna send a message, then just add someone as a friend. And I know how hesitant people can be about single guys... So, any pointers for the new guy? |

Hey man I'm in the same boat as you but I just figured out not to rush on things, people usually post on the forums a lot, have a lot of verified meets, god damn sexy or guys who have a good sense of humour. It's better to have a few friends and dont wait on a best friend. I'll be your best mate sure  haha |

"WOW 2 new hotties on the site, pity ye guys are so young!! You both have great pics on your profiles!!
Welcome to the madhouse!!!   "
Youth doesn't mean inept and shouldn't be pitied! Sometimes we just need the people who know that little bit more to show us how it's done.
And thanks for the welcome. From what I've seen, madhouse is putting it lightly!  |

Remember OP the forums are used by what? Maybe about 15/20 women regularly at most? Don't get caught up in trying to earn their acceptance or ya'll turn into a yes man and lose a bit of you. Don't forget there's a whole site to explore.
Have fun and be you and enjoy it.
I think ya'll be just fine. Xx  |

There's a very limited number posting on the forums. As a newbie you'd be better off not getting involved in the cliques and squabbles here and making your own way around the site. Generally I will accept a friend invite from someone who has bothered to read my profile and make some intelligent conversation first. Of course, others msy of course have different criteria lol.
Unfortunately for you, your age and single male status is going to mean you are blocked by many people's filters, be patient and don't be pushy. |

"Dont become a forum whore.
That's what I said in a nutshell
It's what you waffled about & alluded too."
I'll try simpler phrases next time so you can keep up |

I think a lot of women read the forums and don't post..sure I lurked for months before I started properly replying. So even if you think there are only a few women active on here there are probably more than that |

I think this could be quite true, a friend of mine never posts on here yet she checks it every day, reckons she can spot the dickheads and block them before they mail her |

99% of the women that talk to me don't regurarly use the forum or chat.
Why would they, the residents would just post their personal info.
Anyway, give up the idea of making "friends" and just see women as bits of meat to stick your dick in and you will get along just fine on the forum and chat. But also dont annoy them so kinda do what they say etc. I dunno? |

My plan to make friends on fabs is not to be a total dick and go around annoying people or spamming folks with unwanted attention.
Let's see how that plays out for me. |

We think you can tell a lot about people from the forums. Shows the oddballs and buttlickers (very small percentage) but also the genuine people here for fun and games |

Don't understand why you would want to make friends. Friends are for your real life. Sending Polite messages, organise a coffee/drink etc it goes from there. |

I don't mean friends as in "let's all organise a picnic on the beach and catch up" (although a trip to the beach could be fun.........
Anyway, what I mean is friends on the forum. Just to become familiar with frequent users, and have something to do while i get no replies..... (awwwww) I jest
But it's hard for me as a young single guy. A lot of the time my messages just won't cut it, as people see 22 single male and just say NOPE and move on. I don't blame them either - a lot of the single males my age are just asking for a quick shag and moving on. So I thought I'd approach it differently and see if I can familiarise myself with the lovely people on the forum! |

I agree you age goes against you however it has been proven continue sending nice messages and be polite, post on the forums will get you noted too, the forums are a great way to see how folk treat each other and will give you an insight to folks personalities. |

Before you send a message, read the persons profile! So many guys don't n open a conversation with 'hi how's you' Find something in the profile to open conversation with. At least then they know you've 'bothered' yourself to read it. And yea keep up with the forums. Good luck and welcome x |
