Starting over. Yes or no?

Has anyone just deleted their profile and started over fresh? Did you find it helped with cutting down on crap mails and bullshit in general or do you think it would just be the same all over again? I don't want to leave Fab, I'd just like a fresh start. I'd like to hear your opinions

nah. you have a lot of crazies blocked now so it will be hard work to get them all put away again.

But by all means delete.. if you need a break.. hide your profile for a while.

I wouldn't see that as a solution to anything. Don't new female profiles get more emails? If you're dealing with issues why not utilise filters to help rather than rejoining.

I have taken to hiding my profile when not online. And that does help. I dunno. You're right about having to block loads of people again. I guess I just feel like spring cleaning?? Maybe I should focus on my closet hahaha!

Not necessarily specific issues. I have no problem blocking people. You're probably right though. Remembering back to when I first joined there were even more useless emails. It just might be nice to not be connected to anyone and start fresh. But like the general consensus seems to be, probably not worth the hassle.

If you start again you will be inundated with mail.

Filters and block button are your friends.

There is something tempting about deleting the profile and come back with a new one, blocking anyone from messaging you and you just pick a few you like to chat to with the prospect of meeting.

Then again I wouldn't want to miss out on cock pics....

That seems to be what everyone thinks! So I guess I'll just stay with what I have for now. Although, I haven't been on a very long time and deleting my profile wouldn't be a great loss whatsoever. It's just dealing with the stuff that comes along with a new profile.

So it worked out for you? I'm not sure. I understand and agree with everyone that says I'll have to deal with the new profile bullshit again. But I've learned a lot since I started those few months ago and it might be nice to start over with what I know now.

I have felt like deleting many times but what stops me is the thought of the hard work it would take to get back to where I want to..... you are getting some great advise op, stick with it in my opinion!

Exactly!!! I'm just liking the idea of a clean slate. And I can always take off all the filters and release the hounds if I miss all the dick pics

If I had been here for years and had that type of credibility built up I'd be more concerned about deleting. But I've only been here a wet weekend really so no big loss there. I'll just have to think about the pros and cons

Maybe....and I can't believe I'm say this, but maybe if it's that big a problem you should just filter all single guys and become the "hunter" rather than the "hunted"

Does this make me a traitor?

You could try but it’s a waste of time and effort .

Start a new profile , wait 3 days then bulk delete over 500 messages , block about 50 profiles and back to were you are now . Pointless

I suggest to filter all and hunt

I had got a lot of grief and crap mail on old profile which is why i left and took a break.i came back became a site member put up filters blocked a whole load and of course this time coming back i had a fairly good idea of who i wanted to neet and didnt.

In my opinnion filters and blocks are the way to go

Yes, this is part of it in a small way too. I just want to eliminate some connections. And deleting seems to be the answer.

Or you could just unfriend them - we find the "friends" list needs a cull every once in a while

Fresh start won't do you any harm. Doesn't mean you have to delete your current profile. Just cull and purge at will, then reword anything required to freshen up your profile, then block everyone that requires that, then set your filters. Should give you a new lease of fab life

good luck OP

I understand deleting to take a break but personally I don't get the deleting just to start a new profile, new start.

I would suggest change narrative in profile if you want different things, clear out friends list etc.

Think deleting and restarting might be more disappointing result than you think.

I have come through transition on fab and journey always evolving but I still am the same person, same personality, though i am a bit curvier lilred than I once was.

Good luck whatever you decide OP

Thank you for the advice. I guess I'm just trying to decide whether unfriending is enough of a break away or if I want every trace of myself removed from some people. Veri's and all. I guess I have to really think about the pros and cons.

I’d hide for a while, continue to have a perv and when you’re ready to be inundated again come back on

Use the filters and privacy settings to your advantage, and become the picker of who YOU want to contact. But then again, if you like being approached first, then be extra picky about your filter settings! My 2 cents..

If you block someone the veri disappears. I may be wrong but you seem to be thinking about deleting and coming back as someone completely different. I'm not sure that can really be done because you're still you and that will be obvious to people who know you.

Thanks for the advice! My friends list is quite small 5 people haha! Not too much fat to trim there. I think the only way to get rid of veri's you wrote for others is to delete your account. I don't think unfriending does that. I really want to cut certain connections.
