See others as a competition on here? I’m so confused with the swinging world again. I’ve seen a few things that weren’t swinging and now people poaching to tell them that their better than .... i mean I’ve got thick skin (literally) but is there really any need for this behaviour? |

No need for it.
It's easy enough to avoid tho...just keep those people out of your circle...
We're all individuals with different things to offer, there's no need for competition.

I think some people feel the need to compete in most aspects in life not just here. Who can get the most likes on a picture, who has the biggest house or car. They feel it makes them better than others, which simply isn't true. I'd try to ignore it as much as possible if I were you. |

Yup I agree the ‘who’s the sexiest man/woman on fab?/ who has the best boobs?’ Type threads don’t help either ..... |

Strange times.
Frustration.
I think people have made connections and are waiting for those to materialise when restrictions allow but when they get hint of those connections connecting with others they get all clingy.
Who knows, I’m just bored and thought I’d have a pop at answering your question.

It seems more of a personal issue - as now wanting what I have had etc.
But yes I have blocked and won’t be involved in any circle of theirs.
Thanks just needed a rant |

Healthy fun competition is good often a good laugh though and I enjoy that but when it comes to those who put others down to make themselves more appealing, thats a turn off and I avoid that, its not funny and rather unattractive. |

They are fine by me. I can offer up my choices without actually wanting to meet them.

So true - I don't get involved in any of it and keep who I meet private.
It's not just the women - I know a few men that thrive on drama too.

So did I, but some people don't like their men being attracted to other forum women.

"This is very much a competition for some
Some people see everything as a competition

Sad, but true.
I honestly don't care if someone I'm attracted to is more attracted to someone else.
If I can get over my husband cheating with a friend, I'm not going to be bothered by women on a sex/swinging site.

I've had one that would contact every new veri I got (of a sexual nature) and one that got so upset after one of meets wouldn't bang them that they went out the next morning and got a tattoo almost identical to mine in exactly the same place as mine.
Some people are so insecure in themselves that they try to be someone they ain't, or they see other people as competition like you say and it's almost like they value their own worth on "beating" or at least 'scoring the same' points I'll call it as someone else.
I pity them but they don't half cause some hassle. |

I do think it's more prevalent in men as they are outnumbered and the peacocking etc is kind of primitive mating behaviour. But also, there is a natural hierarchy in life and people feel/find their place based on how other treat them and their own egos.
The forums are rife with narcissism, all fed by people clamouring for their attention with false flattery and lamp post pissing.
I keep out of it and just do. Let nobody is any better than anyone else, no matter how many times their name comes up in a forum thread or how many times their photos are fabbed. |

When I first joined I had a coffee with a local lady who told me the ins and outs of fab, how it worked, what to do, what not to do etc. One of those what not to do's was 'never meet anyone I have, or xxxx has'. I was quite shocked at the time!!
Can't be doing with any dramalamas! |

Sadly there's a lot of jealousy on here as well and some like to stir behind the scenes.As the saying goes they run with the hare and hunt with the hounds. Worse are those who allow them to when they should know better.
But it's fab and won't change.Easier to just cut ties with those that do and move on. |

"Thanks all.
Not trying to cause any drama - was just curious if was normal behaviour from some people. "
From some yeah as crap as that sounds.
Generally the singles.
I won't go near anyone a certain someone has been in contact with in the past year coz I know it'll come with drama so I avoid. |

Hide your verifications and don't veri the people you meet. Then your sex life is private and people won't cause you issues. |

there was a girl years ago using my verification page as a sort of shopping/ to do list ...
we had ended up in a group chat with 2 single boys from another app and when the mmff fell through she just started contacting all my previous meets from here and trying to get them to meet her instead (and i say instead because even though i wasn’t exclusive with any of them thats the term she used and a few of them i was good friends with told me)
it was very bizarre and i still never understand what she got out of it |

Part of life and part of fab, unfortunately. I've been on receiving end of this where guys I chatted to were warned off me by another female. Now I just avoid the drama.
Fab is supposed to be fun, to get away from the normal crap in life. Keep your circle small, enjoy the people that make it a good place |

As someone who has found out that others have been warned away from speaking to me, if I was to find that anyone had done this no matter how strong my bond is with them, they will find that bond broken as I don't belong to anyone.
As far as I'm concerned, if we talk then I'm not stepping on anyones toes as I am not the same as anyone else so I couldn't be a replacement for anyone else, I can be an addition to what they already have and so could I for them.
I don’t want exclusive, I dont offer it and won't be asking for it from anyone else.
Sharing is caring after all and it's a lot of fun |

I just watch and observe who causes the most drama (even though they say they don't get involved in any ).I then try to avoid the men they meet or interact with so not to get drawn into their silly squabbles. |

This is fairly prevalent throughout the site.
Strangely I've found that quite often the people who talk about avoiding drama are the ones creating it.
They like to launch the odd grenade into a forum discussion and then appear on the victims list.
As far as narcissism goes it has always amazed me that some people preach endlessly about how they fell foul of a narcissistic partner and how they came through that experience as a much stronger person.
Unfortunately they don't seem to be aware how ironic it is that they themselves make every forum thread about them and remind us of who they were and who they are now. |

Glad it's not just me who sees this behaviour play out. Same ones who spout about being inclusive and come across as sweet people yet behind the scenes are horrible.

Haha yes. I've been incredibly amused when I've swapped flirty comments with a guy and someone has felt the need to point out I'm not the only one. Really!? On a swingers site!? Shocking! I as a polyamorous girl who lives with a partner am shocked and appalled that people don't keep their flirting exclusive . |

i actually don’t think they necessarily want monogamy from anyone here ... i think society has conditioned us to think that when they also like someone else we forget the “also” part and start to compare and contrast and take them being attracted to someone else as a rejection of ourselves when the 2 are entirely unrelated
human egos are a fragile thing |

Exactly this. There are plenty on here who will hold a knife in your back while smiling sweetly to your face. People spout the words "I like sharing" like verbal diarrhea until it comes to them actually sharing, same as "I don't judge / kink shame / get jealous etc etc" It's just words. What goes on behind the scenes is very different. |

No. They will meet others, and hook up with others together, at clubs etc, but not forum women. Or the man has to keep his other partners a secret.
I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings so I try to avoid those situations.

Unfortunately some people are competitive. People say they are swingers but in reality they aren't.
When I was on here I was 'warned off' a popular guy on the forums by a woman he was seeing. When I told him a few years later about her he wasn't very happy.
That sort of thing can spoil this swinging journey. I remain low key and stay away from dramas as much as I can.

This is the problem. If someone warns you off, or lets it be known the man you're talking to is "theirs", do you say anything to said man (or woman)?
It's all so dramatic I can't be arsed.

Men compete in urinals to see how far up the wall we can get it. We compete on the loudest fart. Men by their very nature (as nature dictates) are competitive, it is fundamentally a part of the male human condition. And I know, I know, “it’s 2021 evolve will ya”, but that’s the thing. It took millions of years to get here, there is no magic “but life’s not like that anymore” switch.
One would argue that nearly 8 billion souls on the planet would be deemed a measure of “success”.
That’s why we compete, in everything, subconsciously, consciously we cannot help ourselves. It is as natural as breathing. Ultimately in a civilised society it will be our undoing (as so many previous civilisations have found to their cost), however in the days of the “global village” the impact of civilisation collapse is either negated or worse, amplified |

If you believe evolution then yes. If you are a creationist then it was a mere 7 days and we were created with all our flaws. Regardless whether you believe it was a flaw of our creation or an evolved trait to ensure success. Competition is as much a part of us as fingers and toes. |

"Unfortunately some people are competitive. People say they are swingers but in reality they aren't.
When I was on here I was 'warned off' a popular guy on the forums by a woman he was seeing. When I told him a few years later about her he wasn't very happy.
That sort of thing can spoil this swinging journey. I remain low key and stay away from dramas as much as I can.
Mrs
This is the problem. If someone warns you off, or lets it be known the man you're talking to is "theirs", do you say anything to said man (or woman)?
It's all so dramatic I can't be arsed.
I would rather we had a 3 some "
I'm purposely putting off putting anything solid in place for meeting with someone when we can for this exact reason, read his veris and wow claim being staked is an understatement and I'm not getting caught up in that |

"Men compete in urinals to see how far up the wall we can get it. We compete on the loudest fart. Men by their very nature (as nature dictates) are competitive, it is fundamentally a part of the male human condition. And I know, I know, “it’s 2021 evolve will ya”, but that’s the thing. It took millions of years to get here, there is no magic “but life’s not like that anymore” switch.
One would argue that nearly 8 billion souls on the planet would be deemed a measure of “success”.
That’s why we compete, in everything, subconsciously, consciously we cannot help ourselves. It is as natural as breathing. Ultimately in a civilised society it will be our undoing (as so many previous civilisations have found to their cost), however in the days of the “global village” the impact of civilisation collapse is either negated or worse, amplified
Crying laughing at "It took millions of years to get here"
If you believe evolution then yes. If you are a creationist then it was a mere 7 days and we were created with all our flaws. Regardless whether you believe it was a flaw of our creation or an evolved trait to ensure success. Competition is as much a part of us as fingers and toes.
I'm not denying it, it just provokes images of someone observing neanderthal like behaviour and narrating it like David Attenborough - "It took us millions of years to get to this point" . "

"This is fairly prevalent throughout the site.
Strangely I've found that quite often the people who talk about avoiding drama are the ones creating it.
They like to launch the odd grenade into a forum discussion and then appear on the victims list.
As far as narcissism goes it has always amazed me that some people preach endlessly about how they fell foul of a narcissistic partner and how they came through that experience as a much stronger person.
Unfortunately they don't seem to be aware how ironic it is that they themselves make every forum thread about them and remind us of who they were and who they are now.
Glad it's not just me who sees this behaviour play out. Same ones who spout about being inclusive and come across as sweet people yet behind the scenes are horrible.
Even more cringe when they spread shit to others who readily believe what they hear."
Easiest way don’t tell anyone, who you are talking to or meeting. Some will read comments on threads as flirting, their interpretation. However, most of it is just friendly banter and the only ones who know the true flirting is the two people who do it in private.

I've had women who I've never spoken to or had any engagement with comment to me in the forums.
Some of them are well outside my age filters or are simply people I have no wish to engage with for various reasons.
I used to reply until I discovered that they then went on to tell others in various group chats that they knew me well and made out that we had met.
I've had others ask me why I'm chatting to so and so when they are obviously not what I am looking.
It's all about perception and how others use that to twist reality(forgive the pun).
Therefore I no longer respond to those type of comments in the forums as I'm now aware that others can perceive that as me flirting rather than just being polite. |

This thread is absolutely hilarious.
I respond to anyone in the forum who responds to me.
I say what I want in any subject for no other reason than that’s what I want to.
I flirt because it’s fun.
I’ll flirt with next doors dog if it’s brushed it’s teeth and smiles at me when it farts.
I flirt with men... am I gonna get bummed... no.
Does it brighten their day to talk to someone who’s not got their head so far up their own arse they can lick their ear hole... possibly.
The forum isn’t a crime scene, dusting it for prints isn’t time well spent. |

"See others as a competition on here? I’m so confused with the swinging world again. I’ve seen a few things that weren’t swinging and now people poaching to tell them that their better than .... i mean I’ve got thick skin (literally) but is there really any need for this behaviour? "
The world is full of people who like upsetting others and you will find some here, just as everywhere else |

I am weirdly competitive. It’s weird because I move at snails pace so why I insist on doing it, I have no idea! |

It's disgusting behavior what goes on in some of these group chats, and it's really quite sad though that you feel you can't comment how you would like to because of other people's behavior. I totally understand you doing so though as I'm sure, like myself, you just don't want to be part of the drama and childish behaviour. |

I am quite pleased most of this goes over my head. Only once I think I have had someone's 'regular' introduce herself to me as such, that I took as a bit of territory marking. I found men a bit weirder than the women when it came down to who I was meeting. |

I don't let it stop me from commenting and if I've got something to say I will say it regardless. I know for a fact that my name has come up a few times in group chats simply because I've called them out on their behaviour.
I just refuse to respond to anyone in the forums now that I believe to be playing games. |
