Regional Message Boards
Jump to: Newest in thread
I think fab should consider further Regional message boards almost down to County level EG - North East, Yorkshire, Lancs, Devon and Cornwall. Geography is often a real barrier to meeting a compatible person so surely it would benefit all to be talking to and connecting with people locally. I post this having struck up a conversation with someone clearly on the same page as me but 350 miles away !?  |

"I'm from Yorkshire but I don't want to meet anyone from Yorkshire.
One shit accent is enough.
Bugger. I was just about to ask you for a drink  "
I can make exceptions. |

Don’t think it be a good idear the smaller the group the lower the popularity off tHe groups going to be
Wouldn’t the search and message would be better
Also you say you meet someone on the same page as you
To be honest I don’t think they are as if 350 miles is a problem
Then they really can’t be all that special to you
As for me 350 miles for the right person or people is nothing for a awesome weekend in a hotel with them
And then a sim regal thing ever other month or so |

I’d be all for regional boards tbh And I’d never travel 350 miles to meet someone. I generally only meet local guys! |

Not necessarily as I sed there’s always ones a month or ones ever two or 3 months
Maybe my time hang with people in the us has made me see things differently
But some states in the us are bigger than the uk
And it not uncommon for them to date people 800 900 miles apart
So for instance you stay in one side off Texas and they stay at the other
That’s 450 miles in its self
My us friends all giggle when I say oooo I traveling 200 odd miles to Manchester
That’s like a walk in the park to them |

I would understand this for dating but not for fab! Plus I don’t drive so £100s travelling to meet someone doesn’t appeal at all!

What about those that live on the border of two or three areas? Are they going to post in all three?
Dilution isn't a good thing unless there is a lot of traffic specific to those subjects and it's not often you see anything majorly localised in here |

Everyone ones different but if 300 miles is so much off a hang up then they can’t be that special to the person it’s just as simple as that |

Yes you can like I can but try putting your self in guys shose whare the number is 100 guys to one woman
Put your self in the shose off 99% off your message go unread or stright delete no matter if you take 20 minutes to think out the messages
Now put your self in a train off though you finely connect with someone and all that’s standing in your way is 300 miles ???

I think people have quite different lives, Natalie. I have children and they are my priority. I am unable to travel 300 miles as I haven't the money or the time to do so. Even for someone special. |

And that is totally understandable and know everyone has different priorities and such
Was was only going off the context provided
You provided context in why it’s not viable for you to
But the only context the op gave was how far away they were so it’s all I could go off
I understand people have outside life’s and we don’t all live in a magical bubble world like I do
That’s why for me I didn’t mind being the one to do the travel in that sort off thing
But give no context other than 350 miles then there’s nothing to go by
See op would have posted it like you did then I would have understood but just saying 350 miles is the problem makes me think why should that be a problem |

Nope… are the country forums not enough!!
Regional chatrooms basically killed the socials scene.. don’t need more fractures |
