As a result of the replies to my previous posts I have decided to give it one more go .
To protect myself from the worst elements that inhabit this site and those who do not want to communicate with a good manners I will adopt some new rules.
1-I will only read messages from new contacts with " Hi xxx wanted " as the Subject -- xxx will be given in my
profile
2-If we are exchanging messages and you dont reply or finish with with BFN or indicate you will back soon I will assume you are not worth my interest .
3- before arranging to meet you I want to use Skype or other video service to see you face to face. It is the most effective way I know to prove our identities to each other and get a good idea if we like each other
4- If we decide to meet I want us to exchange a phone text message to establish a connection first.
5- about an hour before I need to be ready to meet you I will text you to check if the meet is still on -- If I do not get a suitable reply I will assume the meet is off.
6- If you do not arrive at the venue within 10 minutes of the time without letting me know when you hope to get there the meet is cancelled .
Sorry if this puts you off but I used to be naive and expected other people to have similar morals to me but experience has taught me otherwise and I need to tough to survive on Fab-

Nothing wrong with having a set of rules to prevent let downs . But to have let downs one has to get at least as far as to arrange a meet in the first place . And with this set of rules I think the op may struggle .... |
Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
Most people who you are criticising won't be on the forum and your thread will fall on ears who most likely conduct themselves in a decent manner.
If you feel these rules will help you then good luck but part of the responsibility falls on how you act aswell. |

At first I thought this was an ironic parody of all the rules that many ladies / couples demand on here. But reading it again I'm not so sure!
Is my irony / humour radar faulty or is this actually a serious post?
If the latter, I understand where you're coming from OP (I'm guessing you've been let down or played) and wish you all the best with it! Good luck! |

Flamin eck OP, are you ex-military? Sounds as if you're planning a campaign!
I'm sorry, but I'm not surprised if you've struggled on here, with an attitude like that.
If you do eventually get a meet, wil it be a case of, 'stand by your bed for inspection', before things go any further?   |
Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
Oh, good morning Colin.
It's good to join in on the forums. It lets people find out a little about your personality and what your attitude towards them might be.
If you were a very young man the replies to you would have been extremely harsh in the main so count yourself lucky.

Absolutely good luck to him but with the approach he demonstrated yesterday, and the fact he's letting experiences on other sites colour his fab experience before he's even started, I suspect he's going to need it. The two threats to leave yesterday demonstrated a level of drama I doubt many will want to get involved with.
It's up to him how he wants to manage his account though. I don't see many adults on this sort of site liking being expected to reply immediately or excuse themselves from the conversation, promising to be back soon, but it's up to him. |

Looks like its working already . If people cannot be arsed to make any effort towards communicating with me they are not the quality of people I want to meet anyway
re-- not replying back in a conversation on-line .Would you be happy if we were talking face to face in your home and I just walked out of the house without saying anything --I guess not --then why do it on here . Just because you are a faceless it is easy but bad manners just the same .
Contrary to the belief of people who post puerile harsh comments I want to meet people. I seek people who genuinely want to meet me not hundreds of time wasters .
Not seeking lots of mail just a few friends are sufficient .
The internet is full of faceless people whose sole purpose in life is to annoy people . Those on Fab who think the cross section of people on Fab are any better than any other site are deluding themselves .
I have been repeatedly told to get real about how people on Fab behave . They need to get real about how good their site is and how bad some of the others behave.

I did wonder if this was going to be a thread on the 2nd rate Seinfeld copying American sitcom [which I have nevertheless managed to see every episode of...], so I thought I would have a look...
i hoped for a discussion on whether people thought Patrick Warburton was still funny...
Good luck to you, but these massive lists of dos and don'ts don't always read well...nothing wrong with saying things you aren't keen on though

You are talking about getting real. Why don't you read your demands? There is no contractual obligation for anyone to put up with that!!
e.g 6- "If you do not arrive at the venue within 10 minutes of the time without letting me know when you hope to get there the meet is cancelled"
People are not coming to see you as they are facing an inter_iew.
Come on lighten up . If you don't it's imminent that a " Can't get a meet" forum post by you. |

think of it more like corresponding by letter than talking face to face.
I'll often send off a message when im free then carry on with my life as normal till i feel like checking for replys.
whatsapp/text is a bit different but still its the same, send a message while doing something carry on doing it check when free for a reply.
if you want a non stop conversation hats what phone calls are for.
texts and emails are great because you don't have to reply instantly you can think about what you want to say and fit the communication in with what your doing.

Thanks to the genuine people who posted
I love coming on this form it proves to me what a lot of uncaring people there are out there who think they are clever but choose to take it personally about my comments. But then if the cap fits you wear it with pride even though you still look like a plonker
why should I not have my own rules to get rid of unwanted time wasters . If it puts of genuine people they are not worth my time either
Thanks to those fish who queued to jump on my hook when I baited it . |

If you are verified by other users would you still need to exchange texts? Messages on here is not enough? I don't give out my no to all the meets vise versa. And even if I give out my no ( very rarely )I would not save their nos if its not a good shag lol. |

OP, it's not your site or our site it's just a site.
You've now set out how you will use the tools the site provides. Just remember it's not the tool's fault when it's not used to best effect.
Relax, have fun and meet the people that want to meet you.
Enjoy the forum.

Looks like a lot of you who post are not adding any substance to the debate
All you do is pour scorn on bits of what I say -often in a twisted logic . If all you can manage - poor you .
Judging by a lot of your comments you are the ones that are only on here to annoy the genuine ones .
I thought it was a place to contact people , meet and hopefully end up in bed together .
Having fun by getting laid is a serious game - not for game players who spoil i for others who just want to fuck !!!!!

Which one of us that has posted on this thread is spoiling your chances of the serious business of getting laid?
As to adding to a debate, what did you wish to debate? You set out your rules and told us this is how you will be doing things from now on.

To protect myself from the worst elements that inhabit this site and those who do not want to communicate with a good manners I will adopt some new rules.

4- If we decide to meet I want us to exchange a phone text message to establish a connection first.
5- about an hour before I need to be ready to meet you I will text you to check if the meet is still on -- If I do not get a suitable reply I will assume the meet is off.
6- If you do not arrive at the venue within 10 minutes of the time without letting me know when you hope to get there the meet is cancelled .

Less than 2% of the members read any of the forums. So if you are serious, then best place these rules on your profile

Not taking it out on everyone - If they want to take it personally its up to them .I just say it as I see it - they are the ones who jumped in with snide remarks .If they behave like that on a forum what are they going to be like if they contact me or worse still on a meet .
Thats why I have felt the need to make my rules to avoid time wasters who only want to play mind games They are a framework that I may relax if not needed .
Other people may think rules are a waste of their time and feel they should be able to waste mine .Without rules civilised society would collapse
The internet is a place where the dregs of humanity can hide - making it a minefield for genuine users so need to protect myself as best I can
Looking for Mature Couples who generally know what they want and do not to waste time on small talk.

I've not seen a woman or couple with a preferred age range that goes past 70 before, and even going as far as 70 is very rare. I'm not sure who these hoards of people the OP expects to be battering down his door for a meet are.
As unfair as it may or may not be, I think, OP, you do need to be more realistic and realise that those in their late teens to early twenties and those over 60 or so will usually find it much more difficult to get meets here and will therefore need to put in more effort. Those people need to be more positive and even more patient than most. Starting from a position of bitterness and anger at what happened on other sites is not going to help.
For someone so willing to write rules, you have also shown me that you are unwilling to be guided by what others want, believing what you want to be more important, which will do you no favours either.
Unfortunately, everything you, OP, do not wish to hear is being dismissed as unhelpful or nasty. Some of it is meant very genuinely to help you get more from this site. Remember when you dismiss our comments that it was you that insulted us all yesterday, (great site, shame about the people), and then told us you treat people as you wish to be treated!
I can see you believe the site needs to change. The site is very popular and works for a great many people. It won't change to suit you, and to believe that it should is rather arrogant. You can either learn to use the tools here to your best advantage, or you can continue ranting and spewing bitterness about your experiences here and on other sites. It's up to you. |

You're spot on. Genuine timewasters/mind fuckers will not give a shit about the rules. They may play by OP's rules up to a point then fall purposely at the last hurdle.
OP you need a lot of luck on this site as you're the wrong age and gender to be making demands. Sorry but that's the truth of the matter. |

The making of rules acts as a filter for profiler and reader, so all is good. However it still wont stop timewasters and those who don't read profiles and forum posts. |

Most of you who add snide remarks are so thick you do not get it .
All I am saying is these are my rules - If you are not interested enough to be prepared to try to follow them -then tough luck --- go away . I'm not interested in you anyway
I'm just taking charge of my life on here - I'm not obeying what the muppets want as they are not genuinely interested in me anyway
I was looking for mature responses either to agree or disagree if you had reasons why or suggest something else
But as usual as happens on other forums the ones on the sidelines who are not really interested have to sabotage the real discussion by snide remarks or ridicule . If you have nothing sensible to offer --- KEEP IT SHUT

Just because people disagree with some of the things you have said does not make them "Snide" the ridicule we could all do without though.
Chill out and join in on the forums and you will soon see that most people are here to have fun and meet along the way.

ok, i was quite supportive of your original post but this one actually makes you look like a grumpy and rude old man!
you chose to put your rules up in a public forum therefore you chose to weather the comments both good and bad about them.
why do you need and validation for the way you choose to filter your contacts? just do it in private. |

I would be extremely wary of meeting you after this. If you display this amount of anger when you don't get what you want on an internet forum I wonder how you'd react in a more intimate situation if your rules weren't adhered to. |

"Most of you who add snide remarks are so thick you do not get it .
All I am saying is these are my rules - If you are not interested enough to be prepared to try to follow them -then tough luck --- go away . I'm not interested in you anyway
I'm just taking charge of my life on here - I'm not obeying what the muppets want as they are not genuinely interested in me anyway
I was looking for mature responses either to agree or disagree if you had reasons why or suggest something else
But as usual as happens on other forums the ones on the sidelines who are not really interested have to sabotage the real discussion by snide remarks or ridicule . If you have nothing sensible to offer --- KEEP IT SHUT
"
"Do what I say don't do what I do"... That's your philosophy as opposed to "treat people how you want to be treated". |

Only tired of Faceless Muppets who make fun of anything they choose on-line because they can get away with it .
When have I shown anger .
Yes I am disappointed with the callous way a lot of people behave on internet sites including Fab . Why do they not behave in a civilised way on or off the internet to the good of everyone |

Re the 10 minute rule that inspires mirth
If you had gone to a meet and your date did not arrive would you wait for ever . At some point you need to decide if they are ever going to arrive .
All I am saying if you cannot be arsed to turn up within 10 minutes of when you agreed I have lost interest in you
If you care enough to let me know I can make an intelligent decision to stay |

I would never in 100 years chose to meet someone who communicated as you do OP. Of whatever age, I find your responses rude. We are not faceless. We are not thick. Perhaps you just don't understand what we are all trying to say. A poster above suggested you manage these personal filters internally, as most of us probably do. That was sensible advice. |

Man of these 'faceless muppets' meet people, form friendships and have lots of fun via this site. Once again OP, perhaps a moment or two of reflection directed inwardly, instead of outwardly, might reap the results you seek. |

I have just read your other thread. So Question time again.
http://www.fabswingers.com/forum/support/372514
You mentioned there are two groups
(a) the askers ---ie --they have nothing
(b) the asked ---ie --- we have too much
You stated that you in the (a) group i.e you message others. So why this rules? What to rule out? As you said you hardly get any messages?

Thank you we have all this wonderful communication equipment that allows people to chat and send texts to keep people informed . Thats why I want us to exchange numbers before we set out on a date .
I want to be able to let you
Know if I am having difficulty getting to meet you at the agreed time
Its easy to block people later if you never want them to call you -- the technology is there use it |

Quite simple if I do manage to get a reply the I hope they have read my profile rules and understand what I expect . If they are genuine they either understand or ignore me , Its me that matters to me not them . Not being selfish just think its prudent to let anyone know who thinks to contact me .

You are welcome. Just burn your rule book and as I said enjoy the site. Write something that will make your profile interesting. Specially to for the age group you are looking to meet. Right now with the crap you have written you will probably scare all your potential meets. Have good Easter and Good luck! |

I liked your constructive criticism thats good to hear . I honestly think the people I seek will have read any forums . The ones who I have met only want to spend as little time it takes make contact on here because of all the abuse they get , and then get on with meeting and having real sex
The ones who make fun of my rules I would not want meet anyway . I just want people who mess us about to be more understanding .Being polite and letting people know whats happening so I can then make intelligent decisions . How do I know what people want if they fail to tell me what they are about .
Proper communication is the key. If I have to guess I will more often get it wrong than right and thats not good for both parties

The profile facility is provided by the site, but within site rules is yours to do with as you wish. On your profile you listed your rules, fine, not a problem.
The forum facility is also provided by the site, but, within the rules, it is open for all to use and contribute.
For some inexplicable reason, you chose to make public your rules, therefore you must accept that any and everyone on the site can comment accordingly and as they see fit.
You don't like the responses? Then don't publicise your thoughts, comments, rules. Simple.

"Looks like a lot of you who post are not adding any substance to the debate
All you do is pour scorn on bits of what I say -often in a twisted logic . If all you can manage - poor you .
Judging by a lot of your comments you are the ones that are only on here to annoy the genuine ones .
I thought it was a place to contact people , meet and hopefully end up in bed together .
Having fun by getting laid is a serious game - not for game players who spoil i for others who just want to fuck !!!!!

You have made yourself unapproachable, unattractive and increasingly unpopular.

Negativity begets negativity.

Try joining in on some of the lighter hearted threads, perhaps post a fun thread yourself...I'm sure you will notice a huge difference in response and you may enjoy the experience a lot more

"As a result of the replies to my previous posts I have decided to give it one more go .
To protect myself from the worst elements that inhabit this site and those who do not want to communicate with a good manners I will adopt some new rules.
1-I will only read messages from new contacts with " Hi xxx wanted " as the Subject -- xxx will be given in my
profile
2-If we are exchanging messages and you dont reply or finish with with BFN or indicate you will back soon I will assume you are not worth my interest .
3- before arranging to meet you I want to use Skype or other video service to see you face to face. It is the most effective way I know to prove our identities to each other and get a good idea if we like each other
4- If we decide to meet I want us to exchange a phone text message to establish a connection first.
5- about an hour before I need to be ready to meet you I will text you to check if the meet is still on -- If I do not get a suitable reply I will assume the meet is off.
6- If you do not arrive at the venue within 10 minutes of the time without letting me know when you hope to get there the meet is cancelled .
Sorry if this puts you off but I used to be naive and expected other people to have similar morals to me but experience has taught me otherwise and I need to tough to survive on Fab-
I say fair play. It is a huge double standard that women can have set rukes but when a guy does it is tongue in cheek ir arrogant. His inbox may not be packed like a FAB stallions pants but I admire the tenacity."
I don't have a problem (as a woman) with him having rules. Maybe there are a lot there & he should think of saying some of them via pm when he is making plans to meet.
To be fair i'd expect a confirmation text on the day of a meet to say it's all systems go. I wouldn't expect to tell someone if i was logging off & couldn't reply until i next log on....
It's all very well being demanding when there's a market shortage. However we all know there are lots of single men on here & it's a case of pointing the finger at each while chanting ''eeny meeny miny mo''.....
Good luck to the OP though xx |

Have to say there has been a lot of positive comments on this thread along with some humour. I haven't really seen anything snide....
I have looked and seen a lot of negativity and attitude (on the OP's profile).

any profile mans, womans or couples that has any element of what seems to us to be controlling behaviour is passed by immediately by us. It puts me off that we would be required to stick to a list of rules with specific criteria and listed consequences for not sticking to them and makes me wonder what would be required of us if we did meet. We don't even respond to the "put the eagle has landed as your message title to prove you have read this far" profiles.
Preference is one thing.
