"As well as having horny fun does anyone else find that this makes them feel better about who or what they are?" judging by the way some folk moan and nit pick on the forums we think it makes people worse  |

Yes and No, a good meet can make you feel on top of the world but if things go wrong or you have a bad meet there is the feeling of disappointment.
I also find I have some sort of a 'come down' from the adrenaline of a party or good meet. Not that it does anything to my self esteem as such x |

Not particularly, I feel good about myself whether I have a couple of meets a month or don't have one for over a year. I still go out and talk to women in the vanilla world and still pull this way as well. Fab is just another string to ma bow and I use it more for the forums these days anyway  |

Funnily enough I was thinking the same before. Being very new, both to swinging and this site/forums, I've personally found that it's helped my self esteem greatly. I've never had a good self esteem but since we started I've been gobsmacked by the fact that our pics have been fabbed. Not often but enough lol. I know that we won't be everyone's cup of tea, but just knowing that some people like the look of you does wonders  |

I don't have an ego, I don't fall for the bs that you get, I`m old, over-weight, not bad looking in a dim light.
I know how I look in the mirror and don't try to fool myself so I have always had a realistic outlook when it comes to swinging and as long as its mutual and there is a sexual connection its all good for me |

I don't fall for the bullshit...I'm pretty self confident although I still have body issues that only I can sort out...my self esteem is ok without being arrogant (in my opinion - others may disagree)  |

I'm not sure it's the swinging per sai but attending clubs and seeing all sorts of shapes and sizes wandering around naked and confident in their own skins....and seeing how desired they are by others...has really helped me get over the little niggles I had about my own body! Think I'm actually more comfortable naked in that environment now than I am all dressed up for a night out! |

I don't have am ego, I seem to get a fair few compliments when I'm out and about, which I do go a bit shy at.
Then there are some that are bullshit.
I have never been a look at me woman, I would always take it on the chin if I was not someone's preference, it is life, and I would not need a ego boost for that.

Most of the guys just cut and paste the same message to all women, wink all women, as the law of sod says at least one will reply if you message enough, they don't want you they just want a shag, no that don't boost my ego at all  |

A fair point. The problem is there is only so many way to start a message off with. True a lot of message they just cut and paste. But then some profiles give you nothing at all to work off. Get them to read past the first line or two can be hard. It is all part of life, and the instant shag mind set. |

This question pops up every now and then on fab. I put myself in charge of my life, its errors and successes, and dont tend to rely on external stuff much for feeling good etc, as its a bit of a short lived mugs game. That said, after the recent death in my family, I took comfort and tenderness where I could, and some interest was affirming, even though I didnt get out to clubs much. I think it is important to keep yourself in good spirits however you can, and Id not close it off as an option. |

"It does make me realise that women still want me which always surprises me. So I guess yes it does, "
i think its different for men, as men outnumber women and couples by so many if someone mails you it means they like you and have picked you out, i can see why it would be a boost for men  |

Self esteem is normally linked with self improvement, and there is little of that to be gained here apart from a few (sexual experience, friendship, open mindedness). I think the rest is fairly superficial.
I dunno, I don't think it's improved or decreased mine. |

Emm here - no it doesn't boost my ego at all. In fact, if anything it's probably dented it after all the BBW threads I've had the misfortune to read lately.
If a guy were to message me or shows an interest at a club then I assume it's because he simply wants a shag and not because he fancies 'me'. Cynical much? |

It is good to have someone there for, to talk to go and do things with. Me I like doing little this for me to make them happy. Like breakfast in bed, I love when it is done for me.
I have an free slot going.  |

Men desperate to "empty their balls", stating they want 'NSA' but meaning they want a free prostitute, men that will say and do anything to get their dick wet.
Yeah... makes me feel fantastic....  |

I haven't met anyone like that, it's just the mail I've had and profiles I've seen. I go looking for people myself so I can avoid those types. x |

Personally, as a couple of 40 year olds, our first trip out to a club certainly boosted both of our ego's... Not only were we amongst the slimmer clientele, but there was also no shortage of people wanting to meet us...
So yes  |

Depends on what you think NSA is, to me is none of the drama full blown relationship. so i can go out with other women not have to have gps fitted to my arse all the time and so on. |

Not necessarily. It could well mean he's been knocked back by the gorgeous blonde he was hoping to get jiggy with.

It's a total lack of respect from some men. There is a certain 'respect' for a man to pay a prostitute. When I said 'free prostitute' I meant when a man disrespects a woman so much he wouldn't even pay her. Worse than a piece of meat. |

There are plenty of women that are no better - making lists of demands about how their meat should look and behave.
Avoid them. Problem solved. |

So far the positives outweigh the negatives and for a day or two after a good meet, life feels good in every respect. So I'd say it has improved my self esteem, albeit short lived as the mudanity of life takes over. |

I wouldn't say it makes me feel better about myself. More sated perhaps. At the end of the day there are a lot more men than women on here. I think the majority of women (if not all) are guaranteed a shag if they wanted. I don't see how that can lift my self esteem. Men on the other hand, have a lot of competition. So when they get singled out for a meet, I can understand why it would be good for their self esteem.  |
