"I remember a time where you’d find genuine people for genuine meets and chit chat, where people actually read profiles, nowadays people struggle to reply, ignorance and time saying seems to be the new trend, it be amazing to see how many actually are genuine in here.." It’s amazing that the biggest moaners are often the ones they’re moaning about. I think you kinda have to take things as they come and understand people have lives outside of this experience. | |||

"I wasn’t here in the glory days but I’m guessing the site consisted mainly of swingers wanting to meet other swingers with far less singles wanting to meet singles?" No it was meet who ya want to meet when you want to meet, but stuck to arranging the meet, get to know the meet before the meet, and have a genuine good time where your happy to meet that same meet, instead of arranging 20 meets and meeting none | |||

It might be because we're older that people don't usually muck us about or it could be our highly sensitive bull shit detector that lets us cut 'fakes' off at the knees...metaphorically of course | |||

" No it was meet who ya want to meet when you want to meet." I mean…. I’ve definitely noticed online dating in general become a lot more taxing then it was when I first entered the game. You used to match, chat, have a date and then go from there. I think there’s a few factors. I think some men are partly to blame in some regards. There’s only going to be soo many times a woman will meet guys who claim to be “x,y,z” that turn out not to be, before she starts hearing guys say they are “x,y,z” and now seeing it as a red flag or “guy lines” due to past experiences. That fucks it up for the guys who are “x,y,z” because they are being honest, and have now potentially been disregarded, and dont know why. And then there’s the “choice” factor. If you are a woman, you have the most options thrown at you, and to whittle it down you have to look for reasons to not engage, to not be interested, to make the sampling pool smaller, until you are left with what you think is the best catch for you. The only other option is to get to know every single person that shows you interest until the genuine ones come to light with time. But who wants to spend 24/7 on their phones? | |||

Yes, and all the twats have spoilt it for the rest of us. "Us" being every single male profile." It's easy to stand out from them. If not no guy would have any success at all. It's just knowing how to approach people properly, read their profiles and adhere to any prefs/wants they may have and you will get many more responses. You will still get lots that don't as they just don't fancy you. It's not been ruined.... just a lot of people expect loads of meets a year when it just doesn't work like that. If you had a meet a year as a single guy you are doing better than most! Jay | |||

"I’ve been on and off here for 15 years, I can still arrange to meet people. Biggest difference that I can tell is a differing level of expectations that has created a culture of impatience amongst many people. They want it all, and they want it now. " This has been happening everywhere for many years. It's gone a bit sideways, but hey. Can't really do much about, other than carry on and try to have fun. 😆 | |||

"Yeah that’s true but those days are gone where people wanted to know what other like and dislike now it’s just people getting excited over The phone not even wanting to know about hung about who they meeting, arrange to meet and don’t even reply lol " We would genuinely like to meet a guy from here but most don't help themselves. They seem to use the site as a wank bank and think that all the ladies on here are just after cock, and then whine and whinge when a cock pic doesn't get them laid.

"Lol not quite sure what part of my message you didn’t understand, yeah we all have lives off this site but when you’re on the site and using It it’s not hard to reply to others interested or not, it’s not hard to arrange a meet and actually turn up or reply, it’s not hard to avoid wasting ones time with pointless messages, but it all seems to be hard, I think it’s even hard for people to understand these days too " It’s quite hard to reply if you suddenly get innundated (it happens occasionally) It’s really hard to reply to a million “hey” “hi” “wuu2”. I mean how do I start a conversation from that. Especially if the profile is 20 cock pictures and “I’m a man looking to meet women”… Arranging meets is sometimes complicated when schedules aren’t aligning. And I’ve had way more men not turn up or disappear than I have women. Messages aren’t pointless to all of us. I quite like to establish whether I’m likely to be attracted to someone before meeting (to avoid wasting anyone’s time) | |||

I've been here a few years and it hasn't changed that much. I'm just better at sussing out the fantasists and picture collectors.

"Whilst there are a few idiot rude single guys. I've noticed how more n more couples n single females tarnish all single guys the same. I've been on here for 15 years and would definitely say it has gone downhill over the last 6 or 7 years. " Out of everyone on this site, I've had most problems and issues with couples. Demanding, rude and just an overall horrible attitude. And did I mention demanding. This isn't to say all are like this. A lot of wonderful couples on here. | |||

"My thoughts are that swinging is not seen as outrageous as it once was Peoples opinions on sex and sexuality are way more liberal than they were even 10 years ago The Web has also made swinging more accessible- historically, you either went to clubs and got to know people or you didn't have access to the scene Now you can dip your toes in, at will, from the comfort of your sofa It's all there - and it's free People talk about sites like this, so as awareness grows, so does the curiosity and so does the membership The long and short of it is that this site is swamped with people who think they are swingers, but are really just opening another channel to either make connections or simply get a shag Most of these new members are men, most of them straight so they all seek the same % of the site This % tire of the constant barrage of often banal or vulgar introductions and simply just don't respond (or even open) to messages When you hear the same lines churned out over and over again, it just becomes boring Even me, as a bloke, get messages that I just roll my eyes at, think 'here we go again' and rather than being polite in response, simply delete From another angle, we live in a time where an extension of social media monetises sex and sexuality - so there is a section of members who now use Fab as an extension of their socials and to increase their profile in the hope that by being here, some of the traffic is encouraged over to other channels I don't know what the solution is from the sites perspective The only aspect I can manage is how I use the site I think managing expectation and managing when, how and with you communicate with others are the only controls we have So, rather than pointing our fingers outwards, I think that if we turn those fingers towards ourselves, we may go some way towards managing our frustration with Fab and how others use it" Perfectly put. 👌👌 | |||

"It'll soon be my 17th anniversary on Fab. I've never noticed any changes other than some people leaving the site and others joining it. In that time I've been a single, a couple, a single again and now both. During each stage I've had meets, met people, had messages read/deleted/ignored/replied to. I often wonder if those saying things were better a decade ago are blaiming the site and other people, when it could just be that we're all now older, and that we're possibly still optimistically looking for the same people we were back then? Maybe it's 'us' and not the site or other people? *by 'us' I mean generically us, not actual us. I'm.still having a blast. 🤷♂️" Ok but then again a decade ago the site Was but more genuine, you mentioned about being older than what we was back then but that don’t mean we’ve forgotten how to speak to people or approach people to get a response, you either misinterpreted what I’ve meant or misunderstood my point however appreciate you’re opinion fair point and we do all experience things differently, even though I didn’t point fingers to the site I questioned as to what’s happened to the site?

"I’ve had plenty of meets.

Takes effort " Not even about a easy fuck lol there’s loads of them about I’m on about genuine ones, ya know the ones that want to have a chat and banter before they meet someone or call someone to there home, I’m one of them stimulate my mind and you can stimulate everything else after | |||

I really don't think the site has changed, nor have I changed how I use it and I'm still having a blast and enjoying Fab life. I'm older now than when I first joined, obvs, but that just changed the people I interact with. I've had enough time to work out what works, what doesn't and how best to navigate Fab life. I really, honestly, 100% haven't felt any changes over the last 17 years. The site still functions exactly the same, I can still spot which profiles to avoid easily and which catch my eye, and I still approach any contact that happens exactly the same way - zero expectations, zero urgency and zero pressure. | |||

"Maybe the quality of the men has subsided & the quality of the women have risen. I’ve been here a year, I’ve had 100’s if not close to 1000 propositions, I’ve taken 1 guy on in the whole of that time who I have had sex with regularly, he’s there for me & isn’t flakey or demanding, he’s perfect tbh, going to be gutted when I move … 🤷🏻♀️ " I've definitely noticed this... | |||

"People who are saying it hasn't changed are you being serious. There are a handful of genuine folk on here them the rest are rude or fake. Its massively gone down hill but unfortunately there's not much else either." I've been here 8 years and using the forums for just over 5. I'm not currently meeting and haven't sent an introductory message since January 2020 so fab is really just a hobby rather than a lifestyle choice. In saying that though I haven't noticed any significant change in attitude across the board in all my time here. I've probably met 60-70 people across those 8 years and never once had a no show, never been catfished, never engaged with a fake profile and never had my time wasted. Yes some of those people weren't able to maintain the lovely personas they had created and needed to be involved in one drama or another but that was easily avoided. If all these things were really so widespread the law of averages would say that I shouldn't have been able to avoid them for so long so it's not really down to luck. I always do my own due diligence, never rely on what others tell me and I'm extremely fussy about who I chat to and even moreso about who I choose to get naked with. It really is that simple. | |||

"Apart from forum moderators only 6 couples have contributed to the conversation which tells you everything you need to know….that Fab is more a sex site now overwhelmed by singles rather than a likeminded swapping couples." Maybe the couples are too busy meeting like minded couples instead of whinging in here. I could be wrong though 🤷🏾♂️ | |||

"Apart from forum moderators only 6 couples have contributed to the conversation which tells you everything you need to know….that Fab is more a sex site now overwhelmed by singles rather than a likeminded swapping couples." · One possible explanation could be that the genesis of all likeminded couples originate from likeminded singletons. How else could they become couples? Fab is one such platform for such outcomes. | |||

Morals don’t just disappear and most of all mature comes with age not location lol " Manners don't cost anything however it works both ways I get to a point where I don't see why I should take time to reply to a message that's is two letters, zero profile information, no pics and a shadow | |||

Morals don’t just disappear and most of all mature comes with age not location lol " I think this. The younger males joining are doing so thinking m this is a random free sex site. The world changed and it's a factory mindset, if you won't fuck me, the next one will. Etiquette and politeness died. Caused many a woman to hide profiles, block men and partake less. | |||

The world changed and it's a factory mindset, if you won't fuck me, the next one will. Etiquette and politeness died. Caused many a woman to hide profiles, block men and partake less. " I send some messages out to folk that look interesting, with good bio's. Quite often there's a huge amount of one sided effort put into drawing out engaging replies, getting to the point of if someone's actually interested or not, and then actually pinning someone down on time to meet - this has been both MF cpls, and solo men in my case. Often it'll be that because I don't accommodate (even though I offer to split hotel costs). Then they don't want to put their hand or their pocket, or they'll assume offering a carpark fumble is a suitable alternative 
Plus some couples have been outright snotty/demanding in what they expect...
Definitely not everyone on the site of course, and I've had some fabulous socials & meets. But it's less fun more a slow slog on occasion. | |||

"There seems to have been a cull in the Forums, Noticed a lot of people gone on my return, And not as many newbies as I'd have expected, Maybe the lounge ain't where it's at anymore OP." Lots of newbies don't take the time to actually look at the site They jump straight into messages before they even complete their profile then follow up with a status about ignorant people! | |||

Maybe the couples are too busy meeting like minded couples instead of whinging in here. I could be wrong though 🤷🏾♂️" As both a mod and a couple (not those profile, obvs) I'd agree with the above comment. I see far more statements of discontent from single male profiles than any other demographic. The only thing I'd disagree with is that the couples are just meeting other couples. People who are happy tend to just get on with things. People who are unhappy are more vocal in their unhappiness. 🤷♂️ | |||

"One day I will publish my 'Tried and tested organised group social method™' The short version is: Find suitable events on Fab. Get to know people in a group chat. Make friends and sometimes even fancy each other at the event. Arrange to see each other again. If you’re looking to arrange things solely through fab messages you are likely to be disappointed. " This is exactly it. Fab works best as an addition to, not the only outlet for, a swinging lifestyle. Go out, meet people at events and find folks. Sitting staring at a screen is a recipe for misery | |||

"Fab is pretty much the same as its always been. We have both been on here as singles for many many years.. Yes it does change.. the forums go through phases... although I miss the banter of old.. that is more due to the way a group of people bounced off one another.. I'm less likely to join in now with the newer forum regulars... ( so in many ways that's me that has changed rather than fab) We use fab as a tool and it works. X Cali" Yeah I get you | |||
