By (user no longer on site) OP     over a year ago

So I like to get involved in the forums and the themes that get posted but what’s frustrating and potentially upsetting is a situation that happened today from the “fab a fella” thread, I like to get involved so I opt in, I receive 1 fab (which I appreciate!) however I did get visits from folk who were in the thread but no fabs from them, seems

I’m not worthy, does nothing for my confidence and I try and be sociable and open minded with everyone

Just to be clear I’m not looking for sympathy fabs etc… it’s just an awakening that it takes nothing to do something that could out a smile on someone’s face but instead your profile is judged and deemed not worthy of a simple click. For an open minded website it’s not very open minded

Why is it you need fabs? OP

I get plenty of messages saying that people like my pics but they don’t fab them either. Not a problem to me as I upload pics for my own pleasure Ana that of my partner, not for validation from others

A town near you perhaps

So you just want people to Fab photos just for the sake of it? Surely that would make the whole fab system meaningless.

If you are relying solely on this website to be active in the scene then you may find you'll struggle. Why not get out there physically into the social scene and meet other people.

You can't and will never please everybody on here.

Just be yourself and hopefully those who like you will make themselves know and you can concentrate on them.

If you think about it too much it will destroy your confidence. Fab can be a brilliant place but it is also a brutal place.

I can see how that might dent your confidence a little but try to remember that not every body is for everybody.

I do realise that people want to feel attractive but you can’t appeal to everyone and the point of the ‘game’ isn’t to receive faux fabs.

Part of the trick of the forums is engaging on the threads that work for you, if it doesn’t work then don’t engage

I fabbed and messaged you without the prompt of a thread. I think those threads are intended more as a bit of lighthearted titillation and not a way to make actual connections (I don't really know as I don't take part) but I wouldn't read too much into it.

Couple of things....

There is absolutely nothing wrong with your body. That does not however mean that everyone will want to pump you or Fab your pics.

Whilst Fab can be handy for a wee confidence boost (if the right person Fabs a pic) if you're looking to external sources to feel good about yourself you're setting yourself up for to fail.

Lastly, and this may come across as harsh, but comments like "I'm not worthy" scream "pity me" and are an absolute turn off for most women. I'm not going to fuck someone to make them feel better about themselves.

Some may see them as popularity contests, others may see them as fabbing a pic as a way in trying to start a conversation. Others such as myself will fab a pic as I appreciate it.

Everyone is different.

Nature of the beast really.

The "look at me" popularity threads are best not taken seriously. Drop your name in, do your contribution to those you like and then be on your way and forget about them. Plenty of times I've had a few interest from them and plenty of times not a single thing.

A lion doesn't concern himself with the opinions of sheep.

You need to be realistic, do you give false hope to those that you don't like, or do not appeal to you? Do you fab pics and people you are not attracted to yourself?

It is a hard lesson but we won't appeal to everyone, sometimes we appeal to nobody and others we may have interest from two!

Time to take the training wheels off and it is an initial hit to the ego and knocks the confidence. You are not the first, won't be the last, and even the "gods among men" will have at times had no interest sent their way.

Hell even I have had friends not throw fabs my way during these threads.

You started the bashing and Hippy was not making it about her. I came on to say the same thing. I try to fab as many men as possible on those threads because the disparity between the sexes is bonkers on here and men post some great pics.

I'm pretty sure I've fabbed you on those threads before, I didn't make it all the way through yesterday! IMO those guys who add new photos regularly do better because we all like something new to see - worth a thought?

Almost every message I receive makes some comment about my pics but the vast majority of those people have never fabbed any of them.

I've joined plenty of fab a fella or fab a fabber threads and have yet to get a single fab through any of them.

The last one I took part in I deliberately winked and fabbed every woman and couple on the thread and got absolutely nothing back. That was done to prove a point and I didn't expect anything in return.

It's the nature of the site and just because someone says they are in on a particular thread doesn't mean they will actually contribute so don't take it personally.

I’ve gone in on such threads and got nothing one week but multiple Fabs the next week, with the same set of pics.

This. I don’t do those threads. I’ve never done them. Fabs mean nowt to me. I’ll sometimes fab a pic if I like it and if I remember to. If someone fabs mine it’s hopefully because they genuinely like it not because I’ve joined a thread. If some get a confidence boost from it though then it can only be a good thing.

I've been on and off this site for around/over 15 years and never met anyone through the forums, they're not a sure fire way of getting a meet, but great to converse with the like minded.

I tend to stay away from those kind of games, I don't tend to fab anyway.

If you feel it's a confidence killer, maybe avoid those games too.

Validation is only temporary anyway, build the confidence within yourself and nothing should knock you.

I don't think the fabs build the confidence tbh because I get them as I have boobs and it's not that which builds confidence. I find taking the photos and feeling good about myself is what has helped. The fabs from others are a bonus. Have you seen how many the top women's pics get compared to top men? It's insanity.

Depends on your approach, we can't see your mail to them, so can't really comment as such.

If you've read some of their profile and get the jist of what THEY want, then keep trying.

Forums and the likes are likely always be this way, I don't see it as a clique per se, more a familiarity and understanding boundaries with one another.

To the outsider, it can feel like there's a select few that play together on the forums, but the bigger picture is there are many that don't.

I used gimp. I’ve got a few others in my hidden pics including a sunset over pants and a view of Dartmoor . It was good fun to do but I had to watch a YouTube tutorial.

Absolutely spot on with your comments as usual.

sunset over pants! I use Snapseed - it's super easy but I didn't think mine was very effective. I moved it to private

"Your photos are nice, I’ve dropped you a little fab

I personally stay away from the threads that are a popularity contest now (I find them cliquey), anything that starts with “which forumite….” is avoided. Don’t let it get you down, do your thing and try not to let it get you down "

Yeah we keep away from all that now. Every one learns the hard way it's just a little private group really.

On one we were the only post to be ignored on there.

Couldn't actually care but once you know where you stand it's easy to avoid

"Don't dwell on it. I do much better on fabguys than here.Fabs are fun but don't really mean anything. "

This.

Fabs are pretty meaningless and don’t signify a wealth of meaningful meets. Fab is not a competition, and should be about you connecting with the people your profile speaks to. I’d rather make 2 or three great connections than receive 20k Fabs!

Try not to let something so arbitrary affect your confidence, darling.

I rarely get fabb'd but Im sure if I made more effort with pics, had a better profile and liked celery I would.

The fabbing threads are supposed to be a bit of fun - thats why I don't do them any more.....plus my pics are shite

As others, far wiser than me, have said....dont take what happens in the forums home.

That’s not true at all.

If I join the fabbing thread I try and go through everyone and fab some of their pics (unless it’s all dicks)"

Hey OP I fabbed your photos I think you have some good pictures

Don’t let it knock your confidence especially on threads like that, we all have been or felt ignored on forum threads I’m sure. I know I have and how it feels, it’s easy to let it get to you but don’t let it. Keep positive dude

I’m not worthy, does nothing for my confidence and I try and be sociable and open minded with everyone

The forum can be very cliquey, I'm mostly ignored but I care not!

There are plenty of guys who see a fab as practically an invite to someone's vagina rather than an appreciation of a photo.

Some peeps will be reluctant to fab photos for that reason

If you walked into a pub, would every woman give you the eye, or would some and others think “not for me.” It’s no different here.

If you rate your esteem by the amount of fabs you get, you’re in for a bumpy ride bruv.

"I'm one of those that very rarely fab photos. I'll look at them, appreciate them but my mind isn't entwined in a SM world where it says "oh you need to like this if you've seen it".

I'm sure lots of people appreciate you, your profile and pics.

Always happy to chat if you want to "

There’s nothing wrong with showing appreciation of a good image, by leaving a fab. I enjoy doing that, it doesn’t mean I’m entwined in a sm world.

Get yourself out to clubs and socials so people get to meet the real you rather than a few pics and a bio.

Your appearance is fine by the way.

All over the place! Northwesr, , Southwest

There could be a various reasons for not being fabbed. The most obvious might be they didn't deem your pictures appealing enough.

Women in particular can often choose not to fab a picture of a man they don't know to avoid any messaging which frequently happens afterwards.

Men in general receive few fabs, regardless of how good their pictures might be. It shouldn't lessen or detract from your experience here.

Hey OP. Intend to avoid those types of threads as it’s easy to get lost in the deluge of comments on here. Try not to be too disheartened as it happens to us all.

The forums can be great so perhaps try some of the other posts and above all, have a laugh

No fabs for me either, used to mess with my head but I've changed my attitude towards this site and now just use it for entertainment. I'm not expecting a meet (it would be nice but I doubt it'll happen) so I just join in occasionally sometimes chat in chat rooms but I can find those a little too competitive, occasionally I'll cam if I'm feeling extra horny. Try not to take this site seriously.
