I’m curious as to how many people feel that they have found what they were seeking via Fab:
Be that a long term playmate, one off fantasies, a third person for a couple, information about parties and clubs - and everything in between.
Do you feel satisfied by this site or are you still searching? |

"It did, for a long time.
And then it provided something that I didn't even realise I was looking for. "
Thanks for such an honest answer. Nice to hear some positive new (I think!)  |

Yes, we came here because we wanted to meet women together, and we have done. Hard to think how else we might have managed it.
We haven’t met as many as we’d have liked, but being realistic we’ve probably met more than we should have expected. Thanks Fab!  |

I came here looking for nothing as didn't know what to expect.. I can honestly say I found "myself" so I'm happy,and enjoyed some great fun (some not so great)
I love this place,I've experienced more in the time I've had here than anytime in my life.  |

Half and half.. met some lovely people who are still around and met some right wankers. It's a hit and miss but if you have no expectations and a sense of humour, it's an easy place to bob around. |

To be honest, I had minimal expectations and just go with the flow.
If something should happen, great, if not, great. I think when you have too high an expectation, it can bleed into your behaviour and become a little off putting. Needy and desperate, icky.
By the way, please please please, anyone, just get in touch, I don't care what or who at this point, inflatable or imaginary ones might be considered also.
Just love me, for God's sake. |

The website is just a tool. Fab is purely a means to introduce open-minded people to other, hopefully equally open-minded people with similar kinks, complimentary personalities and actually fancy each other. Fab is comparatively cheap and well populated with people from all walks of life and with diverse tastes. Chances are what anyone wants is here, apart from some fringe kinks perhaps. |

So far it's ticked off some pretty big bucket list items for us.
We came together as a couple with a number of things that we had done in previous relationships and so far we have covered off doing those things together pretty much.
There's still one or two things to do but theres also one or two new things we've never done before.
Love it or hate it, without it I think it would take a lot longer to get through what we have so far. |

When i first joined it was the same as any other site, single men out number the women. I knew i would have to work hard but then i got a meet in my first week so i felt great. However since then I've had no luck, either started talking and then they go silent or it's an instant delete without viewing my profile. Fab is great for forums and there's loads of people on here, so in fairness to the site, i would say it's my game that's causing me problems  |

I think fab has opened my eyes a lot and educated me no end in many things. Originally I joined at 19 because I wanted sex. I was a virgin and wanted to loose the stigma. In the end it wasn’t from
Fab that I met the girl. Since then I have tried all sorts. Had some good conversations with lots of different types of people. Been to parties, clubs, socials and seen things oh my how I have seen things.
My approach has changed. I learned about respect and boundaries I became much more of a gentleman. Changed my username and now find the quality in the conversations.

Nope, not satisfied at all. Definitely still searching! |

No not yet I wonder how long it takes for single guys to get a meet. I’ve been on here for a few months now and I have not met anyone yet and it’s either I get ignored or deleted or it’s the “you don’t have verifications” lol so no for me. I have been on 2 dates from different sites since I joined fab and 0 from fab not even a potential lol maybe it’s just my looks I don’t know ??????? |

I am enjoying it greatly. Not had any meets, but I should imagine there is a lot of single men bombarding ladies inboxes. Chat to a local lady and we will see where that goes. But most of all I love the chat and forums. Lots of naughty like minded people, so staying around for a while |

I've made a few friends, seen a few things that I wouldn't have, wasted a lot of time on the forums, had a lot of very worthwhile time on the forums, helped save a few people's sanity, had a few people help save my sanity... Yes, I'd say it's worth the cost of admission. |

Fab is a unique place. It may not always be a positive one, but it does provide a platform. I haven’t made as much of it as it could, nor as much as I feel I should. But that’s on me not fab |

Not quite found what I'm looking for just yet. However that's not to complain about what I have found; I've thoroughly enjoyed the time I've spent here so far as well as everything I've learned about myself.
Still looking, but enjoying the journey. |

Mostly yes, MMF, Bi MMF, singles and dogging experiences. Repeat invitations.
All the sifting through ignored messages, deleted messages, no shows and blockings after getting to the point a meet has been arranged are tiresome but the highs have been worthwhile. |

It has. But not so much in recent years. Probably should have kept my old profile from pre saturation fab days. But hey ho. It is what it is.
But there's some great people on here. Charming, filthy and amusing. But less about me. Lol |

Yes it has. We've both had lots of fun over many years as singles here and we met eachother here. Also been great to meet many others, get party info and lots of great chat during Covid to keep us going. It's infuriating at times but it does work. Oh and we are off to our first Fab wedding next weekend Two singles who met here who are getting married. |

Absolutely not.
I wasn't sure what I was expecting, but came here thinking it was gonna be sexual liberation, respect, trust etc. I'd done a bit of online research and that was pretty much the premise, openness and honesty the unwritten rules of harmony. That's the basis and basics of swinging and sexual freedom.
And it was that for a while (had my rose tinted glasses on didn't I)
But then reality hit, and boy did it hit hard.
It's built on bullshit.
Bullshit profiles that spout what others think people want to hear. Bullshit lines to draw others in. Bullshit personas. Bullshit excuses. Bullshit about marital statuses or bullshit stories to gain sympathy. Bullshit morals.
But then, if you're incredibly fortunate you can make friends you never dreamed of in your life that you're so thankful for it humbles you. They're like a chosen family. That's what I've gained from this utterly devastating adventure.

Not really, this is one of those sites I should probably stop coming on like the Daily Mail but alas, maybe power cuts be good this winter just read some books instead of trying to initiate a spark with a username on an obscure website. |

I have found many different things, I don’t look for anything particular but I chance upon people that make me smile. Some stay a long time, others not so long. I’ve head a heart full of love and a broken heart. I’ve had amazing fun and found friends for life.
What could be around the corner I wonder. |

Poly relationships take a lot of work whether they are formed here or anywhere else. On here people will often say they are poly to be in a relationship with you but over time realise they aren’t. Plus nothing lasts forever; enjoy each adventure whether that’s one night, a month or a few years, enjoy the impact and change you have on each other and don’t hold on too tight . I think if you become a bit demisexual you will have more success here as a poly person. |

I've exceeded expectations but I wasn't really sure what to expect. I've met lots of lovely people, been to places that I didn't know existed and had lots of sexy.
The only downside is that fab is a big time stealer. |

We've fulfilled a few fantasies, had some great sex and met a few that have become real friends.
Yes it's getting harder to out the wannabes and fantasists and we've also got older (and fatter ) which makes a difference. |

Sometimes I think I have… then reality hits and I realize what o actually want doesn’t exist.
So I stick around in the foolish hope it will turn up |

Not at all. I came here to expand my horizons and indulge in sex without attachment. Instead I got myself a girlfriend
Wouldn't change it but just shows that what you set out for isn't always what you'll end up with. |

"Not at all tbh...I seem to have more success on standard dating sites, meeting ladies who want a bit (or a lot) of fun.
I find that to be a little odd, but I'm not complaining  "
It’s not that surprising. Conventional dating sites have a more equal gender ratio! |

I guess that's the reason 
I still keep looking on here, but it's not what I expected.
Thanks, Duchess...that's helped me to gain a little more perspective |

After 10years it doesn't scratch the itch anymore. We get better evenings from clubs and dogging etc. The meet, plan time is now quite tedious so we hang on forums and enjoy seeing what's happening for parties etc. But meets are so hit and miss we tend to avoid it a bit. |

Yeah so far but then I'm only looking for NSA encounters so my bar isn't that high.
In general its a little vanilla for me though, would be nice if there were more people into PVC and latex and not just in the sense that they want to fuck you while you wear latex and they wear old boxers and some sport socks. |

FAB has provided us with the avenues to meets new people we would have never met before.
Via clubs and events, private parties plus people who we have met privately.
We’ve extended our sexual map and boundaries well beyond what we imagined and are having the time of our lives.

I have used various sites or services for much of my adult life, even going back to the pre-internet dial up bulletin board days. Joined FS with zero expectations of meeting anyone in person. Also, I am horrible at doing the online back and forth conversations, and much prefer in person conversations. Why do I continue to use FS? I am fascinated about all things sex, learning about other people and either desires or fetishes. The forums keep me entertained and well worth it. |

Some great meets but actually my best Fab meet gave me far more than I was looking for, hoping for or expecting. And I think she'd say the same. Nearly four very happy years together, an engagement and one day there will be a wedding. Sometimes you just don't know what Fab will bring. |
