Fab, I think we can agree, can. E an unforgiving place. You have to keep expectations low, your chat pleasant, and your wits about you as you navigate the unhinged.
You have to develop a hide of iron to keep going. My age helps. Enough knockbacks than a cricket ball, you keep plugging on. How did you develop your hide to keep you in the fab game?  |

I came in knowing that I would appeal to very few people, and that my chances of meeting them, slimmer still.
I think some come in expecting that every person here will fancy you enough to wanna bump uglies. The knockbacks then create a resentment. |

Who are you calling unhinged? Just cos the voices in my head keep telling me I'm insane, does not mean that I am unhinged.  |

No, you don't. I refuse to develop an iron hide. I don't need to.
I'm always going to be surprised when someone finds me attractive. Wants to have sex with me. Always going to be a bit soft, a bit silly. Care. I keep going because I enjoy it. If I started feeling cynical or developing a thicker skin, it's not me. So I'd take a break. Focus on other things.
There's not a right or wrong way about it but I know what works for me. |

Don't be digging up my patio. Oh and the pond used to be a lot deeper.  |

"I joined expecting lots of sex mad horny men with little to no standards.
So far, I have not been disappointed.
"
How would you know the men have no standards? |

Best two I've had are the lady who wanted me to 'beat her until she bled' and the one who wanted me to be 'strung up as a plaything for a week'. Funnily enough, I declined both |

Simple - expect nothing.
Over the years we have become less tolerant and so messages that we would have replied to get instantly deleted. If a couple start talking to us about meeting and then dodge setting a date will just tell them to get back to us when they can commit and move on. |

My Fab meets and those I talk to from Fab have always been pleasant and lovely people (actually I lie, my FWB was a stalker, paranoid about my other friends and somewhat psycho - but I think I've escaped, and definitely the nervous ticks and twitching have gone). |

Hence why I generally stick to clubs  |
