By (user no longer on site) OP     over a year ago

Sorry for the influx of threads from me!

So earlier i asked what youre looking for and it seems most people haven't found what they want.

I was talking to someone who said to me something along the lines of "but you're popular so why would you look at me" and it got me thinking does being on the forums hinder you? Having a more public persona do people assume that you have it all going on?

Yes I get compliments on here but so do most people, I am a frequent poster so i interact with people, does that make it seem like my inbox is overflowing with suitors therefore there's no point in trying?

Do you find it's more forumites or non forumites you interact with? Have you heard an opinion of yourself that you don't agree with?

Also! If youre looking for something still do you want people to get in touch?

Op. You once said my profile is basic in a thread.

I've been told my presence on the forum could put people off.

There's little I can do about people's views of me if posts and my profile is all they will read. And I've heard lots of views about me that are way off track. If they're not wanting to interact, what can you do? Pester them? Men already currently have a sharp big brother eye looking at our behaviour.

I honestly believe I have no need to pm a woman. She has much more choice in line before that make from me. That is just my opinion. How many times do I read that women are inundated? My mail will be in a pile of unread. That's what I imagine.

Interesting. I think it can work both ways.

I've known of a hugely popular forumite, who seemed to be inundated with flirting, but in reality the flirting didn't actually result in actual play.

We've met and played with people through chatting on the forum, but aren't inundated with mails (we did get one once, honest ).

Does it put people off too though?. I know I (mr) might be more inclined to answer back in a thread with someone who says something I think is bad. That might give a bad impression, I don't know?

One advantage we have got is only a tiny percentage if fab come here, so lots of misdemeanors go unoticed...

Well, on the other thread I said I was here looking for sex, so of course I'm open to offers.

The forums, I think have been good for me. I probably wouldn't have stayed on here without them. It has helped get me well verified, which is an advantage for a single guy.

I have had someone say they didn't think that I would have noticed them on the forums. I thought that was odd.

Like MisterBee there is little I can do to change the opinion people form of me. I don’t waste my time messaging women and couples either as that has in the past proved fruitless. I do use the forum and on occasion the chat rooms to interact and I guess I’m now ‘known’ around the place more than I was.

My main purpose is to express parts of me that it is difficult or just not possible to do in my life outside Fab. On the whole that works well for me. I might feel different about it if I was actively looking for sex but I’m not.

However I still haven’t found the knitting pattern I came here for

Well most of our meets come from non forumites, don’t know if that’s the whole couple dynamic. But most of my inbox is full of forumites chatting.

I get the whole you’re popular and the men flock to you, I just don’t see that at all. But yes would love more couples to contact us. Hopefully then I can get some decent dates off mr and meet x

Where still relatively new, our few meets have come by the search / browser and just clicking on someone's profile, waiting to see if they look back and wink or message.

Slowly starting to use the forums, so far where enjoying Fab.

Not that I'm a prolific meeter anyway, but I don't think the forums have hindered me - if anything quite the opposite, it's enabled me to get to know people and possibly more importantly to get known from my forum presence rather than just my profile.

I personally think without the forums I'd have found the site a soul destroying experience and would probably have given up on it a long time ago.

As for whatever perceptions or presumptions people jump to as a result of my forum persona - that's for them to decide but for the most part I think it's been fairly positive

Yes, I realise that by adopting the above approach and interacting almost exclusively with forumites I may be limiting my opportunities but as my time and opportunities are limited by my circumstances that works just right for me

People seem to have this image of what I am like due to my interactions on the forum.

I'll allow those people to continue with that preconceived perception

Anyone who has met me knows what I am really like.

Are they different? Couldn't say, I guess in some ways.

Does it hinder me? I suppose some folk choose not to interact with me, that is up to them.

I see the forums and the rest of Fab as almost two separate sites.

The forums are there when I’m at home and I just want something quick and easy to read.

It’s the men who don’t use the forums that I am more likely to meet and chat to privately.

I just don’t see the men who use the forums in any sexual way at all.

I can see this too. Out of the people i speak to from the forums most have been exciting at first, most conversations have started because of a thread but after a while the conversation fades and interest wanes.

I guess with non forumites its more about finding a common ground so its more of a challenge maybe? You havent seen them around so have to actively find out more?

Yep that’s the main reason I stopped messaging too. I’m out of the age range of most of the women I really fancy. Thankfully a few take pity on me and message me first

Just where I need to be.

I think if you use the forums for your only supply of interaction and meets then the persona you display on threads are what people perceive, they have nothing else to go on. I'm a stand offish stuck up cow as I don't flirt. I believe that the forums are a light hearted place for initial interactions. Some people believe all the hype of being a hottie and popular but it's how you interact outside of the forums that gets you the desired meets you want. For me the forums represent a fairy tale, bit of nonsense and not real.

In our whole time on fab I think we’ve met 3 people who use the forums , and played with 2 of them .

That’s almost seven years , and countless meets with people who don’t go anywhere near the forums .

We don’t get inundated with messages , we get about twenty a day , and very few via being in the forum . If getting meets was about meeting fellow forum users we would be very dissapointed with our success rate . Fortunately it isn’t , and we are more than happy with life on fab

I hardly ever search for people and never look at who has looked at me.

Any communications I have are predominantly a result of ladies making the first move, (fabs, winks or messages) although I have messaged first as a result of the forums.

I generate little interest generally and none locally, but that works for me.

I do wish I was a little bit bolder and made the first move more often. I do wonder though if I am secretly on hotlists somewhere, with the ladies waiting for me to make the first move. I doubt it, but I can dream!

Whilst I'd agree with most of that to an extent and there are certainly some forum users who believe the hype or take stupid things like the hot or not threads far too seriously, they can also be a good conduit to moving to that off forum interaction you mention and as you say it's there that real perceptions are formed - although the forums themselves remain a great initial filter

Yeah I get this. It recently happened to me where someone I was talking to and interested in I withdrew from because of watching them flirt and interact with someone else on the forums who I couldn't compete with as such, their connection is much stronger and better suited than I would have with him.

Isn't that the same regardless of whether it's from the forums or not though and in fact could be applied to life in general? It's always exciting to get to know new people - with some that initial buzz will fizzle out, others it remains and continues and grows - it's just the natural course of things.

And when it continues and grows and messages or conversation flows naturally then they're the ones you gravitate towards regardless of where you met

Spot on

We aren’t in here to make lifelong friends , we are here for the buzz , the thrill of a new meet , and the excitement . Meeting people we kind of know from lots of chat doesn’t provide this .

"Personally I'm just here nowadays to chat bollocks and talk on these threads . Occasionally I click with someone ( as I have lately I hope ?) . But as for you posting lots of threads Rubi I say keep it up . Your threads are always amongst the most interesting and diverse

Thank you. Still doesnt make people mail me I think guys assume you get a thousand messages a day so don't bother because they don't think they stand a chance

Exactly! Whilst I'm sat home alone weeping "

I have done the old messaging thing to death on previous profiles. Never got me anywhere. My meets off here have all come from the lady contacting me first and usually related to forum activity. Now on my third visit and just use the forum and will see what happens.

Just recently learned I have more fans than I thought lol. It's put a smile on my face.

With regards to people who have posted here who I consider forum big guns. When you post so much it is hard not to give off an impression. It might well be nothing like the real you. But what else do people who haven't met you have to go on. Good or bad.

MsV will quickly say, you see them you are interested in flirting with others (I hope she doesn't mind me mentioning her) it's then, that doubt sets in if they were ever interested in you, or, your now down the pecking order.

It's a swinging site, I'd like to meet all of my friends or those I like eventually, but I'm not competing like it's a competition or a race into someone's knickers.

My interest only wanes occasionally, but my friends list speaks volumes.

Yeah I get this. It recently happened to me where someone I was talking to and interested in I withdrew from because of watching them flirt and interact with someone else on the forums who I couldn't compete with as such, their connection is much stronger and better suited than I would have with him.

"

Yep. I can relate. I like when I read 'we have a close circle of friends, on some posts. That would be a nice scenario. A group that all get along with the same view if what they want with each other.

But, everyone is sensitive about what the other people perceive if they meet a b or c.

Swinging is more complicated the more people you want to swing with.

"I see the forums and the rest of Fab as almost two separate sites.

The forums are there when I’m at home and I just want something quick and easy to read.

It’s the men who don’t use the forums that I am more likely to meet and chat to privately.

I just don’t see the men who use the forums in any sexual way at all.

I can see this too. Out of the people i speak to from the forums most have been exciting at first, most conversations have started because of a thread but after a while the conversation fades and interest wanes.

I guess with non forumites its more about finding a common ground so its more of a challenge maybe? You havent seen them around so have to actively find out more?

I think you’re right about non-forumites being more of a challenge. I find them more interesting too.

Most on the forums are nice, but nice is boring.

A world of my own

I don't get a lot of messages from the forums so for the most part I don't think it makes a difference for me.

That said I have actually met some lovely people who perhaps wouldn't have spotted me otherwise.

So in that respect it's been a benefit.

I'm not sure what people think of me. I hope most think I'm nice but I imagine in reality the majority are indifferent. I'm good with that too.

Isn't that the same regardless of whether it's from the forums or not though and in fact could be applied to life in general? It's always exciting to get to know new people - with some that initial buzz will fizzle out, others it remains and continues and grows - it's just the natural course of things.

And when it continues and grows and messages or conversation flows naturally then they're the ones you gravitate towards regardless of where you met "

Yeah definitely, if you're compatible then the conversation will grow. I just meant it often has a starting point of a shared view or interested as highlighted by a forum thread whereas with someone you haven't seen in the forums you still need to find one so it may take more effort which is interesting and can hold attention longer.

It's a tad annoying but that's life. Most likely because I'm married but cheating or maybe I just annoy people, I've no idea.

So many questions! I thought my stream of consciousness was chaotic at times.

As far as forum popularity goes? It's like a self contained bubble really - the majority of swingers have no idea who is flavour of the month currently and not being it doesn't seem to affect their ability to meet.

Right now, I interact with both types of fabbers probably an equal amount (well one forum user more than others!). As far as opinions of myself go, meh. I post how I want and people can interpret language how they want (even if you clarify intent and incorrect perception they still bloody will...). I imagine most are indifferent to me, as I am to them.

It is easier for me to go off forum users though.

Though I have not met the right person yet. Someone who gets my sense of humor, good sense of vanilla/swinging balance and is clear on what they want.

Thats kinda how this train of thought started. Someone was questioning if/why I liked them, they assumed I had my pick of suitors.

Even if I did have a queue out the door I questioned why that would matter, I still choose who I intetact with and in what way.

Most of my comments on forums get ignored and often get no response.

Sometimes they do. It doesn't bother me either way. Although I find when people message they are far more likely to respond to us than someone who has just posted in forums.

Forums are mainly a form of entertainment for me. Nothing I take to heart or get upset about even when my comments are ignored.

Can i ask why you feel ignored? Sorry im going off on a tangent here but is it because youre not responded to personally?

For me anyway if i start a thread i read all the replies. Im genuinely interested in the answers, thats why ive asked.

But whether i respond to each one individually depends on the question. Like this one, i havent responded to everyone, ive responded to those i think i can add something to or want to know more about. It doesnt mean i haven't read or appreciated the other replies.

No one decides - people have opinions.

If their opinion of you is formed by you on the forum, would you want to try and change it?

I've given up trying to do that, some people are swayed and that's up to them. I can only show the real me to those who interact with personally and away from a public thread.

The thing is, aside from those who you haven't met in person and suchlike, no one truly knows who is behind the profile. Even after a social people don't know you.

You can let people know as much or little as you decide.

You can be whatever you want.

People will form an opinion on you regardless. They will say things, the ones in their little cliques of 'I don't like them so you can't either' seem to have plenty to say.

I find the behaviour on here funny and often predictable.

But still, I enjoy the forums, I enjoy chatting to people away from them too. I've made friends, I've made enemies.

I'm sure as hell not going to be changing the way I interact.

Interesting a couple here talking about forumers being nice guys and as such boring.

2 things about this.

You have no clue whether anyone is boring or not till you have met them. Nor do you know if they are really nice or not anyway. Links into what I said earlier about perceptions. I consider myself a nice guy and a gentleman. I am also no angel and I don't fuck like one.

Seek out cunts and you will eventually find a real one. A certain returning fabbers posts are a bang on example of this.

Way back in 2016 when I was on here before. Mr contacted me and I did my standard reply until I saw him in the forums, seeing him interact made me want to meet him and as they say the rest is history. So I think the forum is a great tool for getting to know others.

I don't get inundated with offers/messages. I get a few and that's enough for me.

I don't look to meet from the forums, mainly because i prefer meets closer to home due to lack of free time, a young family i have to get back for, a demanding dog and a crap sense of direction and a disliking for motorway driving

Its mostly men in my local area i interact with and yes i'm open to offers from them.

"The thing is, aside from those who you haven't met in person and suchlike, no one truly knows who is behind the profile. Even after a social people don't know you.

You can let people know as much or little as you decide.

You can be whatever you want.

People will form an opinion on you regardless. They will say things, the ones in their little cliques of 'I don't like them so you can't either' seem to have plenty to say.

I find the behaviour on here funny and often predictable.

But still, I enjoy the forums, I enjoy chatting to people away from them too. I've made friends, I've made enemies.

I'm sure as hell not going to be changing the way I interact.

Fancy those cocktails soon OP? "

That's another good point too, watching how people interact with others can influence opinions.

And yes I do!

"Interesting a couple here talking about forumers being nice guys and as such boring.

2 things about this.

You have no clue whether anyone is boring or not till you have met them. Nor do you know if they are really nice or not anyway. Links into what I said earlier about perceptions. I consider myself a nice guy and a gentleman. I am also no angel and I don't fuck like one.

Seek out cunts and you will eventually find a real one. A certain returning fabbers posts are a bang on example of this.

"

I agree with this. I know my forum persona is not the me that most people would recognise and don’t expect others to be either. I’m not sure it’s even very representative of my personality in general. On occasion the real me comes out but most of the time I’m just fart arsing around on here. Forming an opinion on me based on my farting about is strange but I’ve no doubt that’s what happens. Those who have got to know the real me don’t talk to me anymore

Also, pretty much nobody in a ten mile radius of me fits what I'm looking for, so using the forums to find what I'm looking for works better for me.

"I do find it strange when some people on this thread have said they get ignored on the forums when on another thread they are constantly saying thanks to people sending them compliments on that thread.

So, they aren’t being ignored

That's interesting to me too. I think it depends on the thread a lot of the time? "

True, but we ALL get ignored at times on here and I would think it strange if we weren’t.

Stating on here that they get ignored on the forums as though that happens all the time is blatantly not true and I don’t understand why they’d put it.

I like the forums for a chuckle and to pass the time. Posting gets me a lot of views and a few fabs and messages, but I tend to see the forums as a separate thing to looking for meets here.

Maybe I'm wrong but a lot of posters here seem like long-time experienced fabbers, which can be a bit intimidating.

"Way back in 2016 when I was on here before. Mr contacted me and I did my standard reply until I saw him in the forums, seeing him interact made me want to meet him and as they say the rest is history. So I think the forum is a great tool for getting to know others.

And yes we’re open to offers especially from pretty bi ladies "

Haha the same person behind the comments about me being popular also told me we had messaged a few times a while ago. I had to admit I couldn't remember it. I mustve needed to see them in another light to have them stand out for me

Ok here we go.

I have been lucky to meet some forumites both ina pure social, club and play meets

I know that a few people have since said they wouldn’t play with me as I use the forums, some said i have met others from forums, and some said to many meets.

Now that’s fine as most of my meets nowadays are in clubs anyway. Don’t get me wrong there are people from the forum, I would like to play with but haven’t either because haven’t sorted it or their situation as changed

For me I will flirt on forums and if anything arises so be it

"Sorry for the influx of threads from me!

So earlier i asked what youre looking for and it seems most people haven't found what they want.

I was talking to someone who said to me something along the lines of "but you're popular so why would you look at me" and it got me thinking does being on the forums hinder you? Having a more public persona do people assume that you have it all going on?

Yes I get compliments on here but so do most people, I am a frequent poster so i interact with people, does that make it seem like my inbox is overflowing with suitors therefore there's no point in trying?

Do you find it's more forumites or non forumites you interact with? Have you heard an opinion of yourself that you don't agree with?

Also! If youre looking for something still do you want people to get in touch?

I'm not consistent when it comes to my posting habits in the forums, some days I'll give my 2 cents on every thread, some days I don't even look. However the majority of people I actually chat to are other forumites.

I think I come across almost exactly as I am except that people expect me to be confident, I'm not.

I enjoy the forum as it allows me to be a free child and express myself. There are various discussions and some on repeat, and I enjoy the immediate canvassing of opinion, reaction, response from a range of people that I’d not access as quickly or efficiently otherwise. I like the ability to turn away too and pick the forum up/put it down at my convenience for as long/short a time as I want. Getting immediate group gratification takes planning otherwise and other online fora may not be suitable for more sex based spouting, flirting, attention seeking, moral boosting nor allow me the ability to be those things and to pontificate or muse about other topics. The forum cheered me on for interviews last year when I wanted to change up my job, the forum were there when I got my job to congratulate. As a collective voice made up of individuals who I may or not directly interact with, who I may or not meet in real life for socials or for play or for love or whatever the fuck, the forum collective is an answer (even if sometimes wildly politically galling answer) in the abyss of sometimes feeling lonely. Don’t get me wrong real life is real life. But forum life is real to me too, even if a comedy parody at times. I have some dear friends on here. I have met up with some wonderful people. I have had my heart stirred. I have orgasmed a lot. Like a lot. I meet from the forums and from the rest of the site too. The latter first. But it’s the person I meet not what aspect of the site they use. The forum allows a speedier analysis. I caveat that the analysis may not always be accurate though. People build a story about you that’s actually about them. It’s never about you. It’s what you represent for them and sometimes it aligns happily but sometimes it is wholly off kilter. I really rate asking people. Tell them your thoughts but express it in a way that is not a fair accomplis. If someone intimidates you, tell them how you’re responding but be open to it being something other, give them and you the respect and compassion to find the authenticity of why that’s the case and the potential to both choose differently. Or don’t. But then don’t moan.

I’m just me. I’m a show off who is shy. I’m a flirt who has no grace. I’m sex crazed yet chaste. I’m resilient yet fragile. I’m kind and caring yet Machiavellian and evil. I’m just doing the best I can at any one time. Pretty much the same as you. And you. And even you, although you have to be contrary.

"I think the forums help prove you are genuine and people get to know you a little bit. Not that this has changed my activity on here but it has made me feel more comfortable."

Agree and you get an idea of what the person might be like, eg funny, witty, straight talking etc.

I sometimes do wonder if people actually read the profiles in the way I do. If am interested in a guy, I will read the profile and some of the verifications to get an overall idea of what he might be like. I think it does not seem to work for many guys, eg I have spelt out a few times I do not want to meet attached guys but still get lots of messages from married men.

I am tempted to make the first move now based on what I read in the forums. Maybe that works better?

Yes we feel the same sometimes, with the hot or not threads, hotlist threads etc, when I was single I used to get a lot of attention (well more then I thought I would) but now being a couple that’s changed dramatically but then we don’t take it to heart because we are a couple and it’s harder in someways. Plus also they move so bloody fast some of them by the time I’ve looked at the profile I’ve actually missed the person I meant my post for. But that’s life and it’s only a forum lol

Only just saw this - I completely understand what you are saying and it can happen so easily although I do not think it is done deliberately.

I think people get carried away in their posts and sometimes posts come in very close together so posts can get missed leaving a feeling a person is being ignored. Does that make sense?

We love the social aspects of fab, parties, forums and chatting by pm. Our time is limited so coffee meets have been replaced by socials and parties which is great. Our private meets stem from that generally. Love the funny wacky posters and the banter on the lounge as well as the thought provoking topic's. Having both had singles profiles here also I think people view you as more approachable ( rightly or wrongly) definitely single female gets more attention without a doubt.

But whether i respond to each one individually depends on the question. Like this one, i havent responded to everyone, ive responded to those i think i can add something to or want to know more about. It doesnt mean i haven't read or appreciated the other replies.

Hmm. Quite often I will post on a forum that's like hot or not stuff like that and you reply to the person above and like 9/10 times people either don't notice my comment or skip it completely and reply to someone else. There are a rare occasion where someone does reply.

I don't take it personally if someone doesn't reply to all comments as I don't expect them to.

But often in forums no one replies to my comments, that's what makes me feel like I'm ignored.

And sometimes I'll see small threads and join in and still be ignored - even when they have been replying to everyone else or there is supposed to be a reply -i.e. the hot or not threads.

It doesn't bother me just something I've noticed.

Yes we feel the same sometimes, with the hot or not threads, hotlist threads etc, when I was single I used to get a lot of attention (well more then I thought I would) but now being a couple that’s changed dramatically but then we don’t take it to heart because we are a couple and it’s harder in someways. Plus also they move so bloody fast some of them by the time I’ve looked at the profile I’ve actually missed the person I meant my post for. But that’s life and it’s only a forum lol

Geeky x"

Yes exactly this. It doesn't bother me just something I had noticed and understand that these things happen sometimes - most of the time unintentionally.

Only just saw this - I completely understand what you are saying and it can happen so easily although I do not think it is done deliberately.

I think people get carried away in their posts and sometimes posts come in very close together so posts can get missed leaving a feeling a person is being ignored. Does that make sense?

I just carry on posting... eventually somebody will respond

Indeed and these things happen doesn't bother me or stop me from posting.

These things happen sometimes and that's life!

Lately it’s more non forum users or those who don’t use them as frequently

"Way back in 2016 when I was on here before. Mr contacted me and I did my standard reply until I saw him in the forums, seeing him interact made me want to meet him and as they say the rest is history. So I think the forum is a great tool for getting to know others.

And yes we’re open to offers especially from pretty bi ladies

Haha the same person behind the comments about me being popular also told me we had messaged a few times a while ago. I had to admit I couldn't remember it. I mustve needed to see them in another light to have them stand out for me "

well you do stand out and look a gorgeous girly with the right way of going about things and our type

"Sorry for the influx of threads from me!

I like your threads OP, they're interesting.


"... and it got me thinking does being on the forums hinder you? Having a more public persona do people assume that you have it all going on?"

It's pretty obvious that I have 'nothing going on', no-one has ever assumed otherwise. When I meet people 'in real life' they always seem slightly disappointed that I'm not a truck driver called Barry.


"Do you find it's more forumites or non forumites you interact with? "

Both of this year's PM's have been from forumites. I'm still pretty sure they have me mixed up with someone else more interesting though.


"Have you heard an opinion of yourself that you don't agree with? "

Haven't heard an opinion of me, I really have no idea what people think.


"Also! If youre looking for something still do you want people to get in touch?

"

Yep.

Being on the forums hasn’t appeared to hinder my prospects on here, the majority of my meets have been via them.

I don’t see myself as “popular” with lots going on and I’m pretty sure others don’t view me that way either. I can see though if you are “flavour of the month” people would possibly have a skewed view of you which maybe nothing like the reality.

Where possible I’ll chat to everyone & anyone but I think overall I interact more with forum users.

Interesting thread...

I've not really considered the impact of our use of the forums. On the whole it's probably limited given the limited number who use them.

I think Cal's humour is sometimes misinterpreted, and I seem to be pretty good at killing threads...

I have no idea what other forumites think of me / us to be honest, and doubt we come across as inundated with offers.

We have had messages as a result of posts, though not necessarily in relation to looking to meet.

We chat about all sorts of random stuff, with people and that is fine.

Yes, we are open to offers

"I mostly get ignored on the forum here. "

My posts often get ignored... in fact I'm that used to it, I often post and move onto another thread, so won't notice that someone has replied

It doesn't help that I tend to dip in and out...

I don't mind that my posts appear to be ignored. I'm aware that they have probably been read and noted. Its just not possible for every post to be responded to.

"Sorry for the influx of threads from me!

So earlier i asked what youre looking for and it seems most people haven't found what they want.

I was talking to someone who said to me something along the lines of "but you're popular so why would you look at me" and it got me thinking does being on the forums hinder you? Having a more public persona do people assume that you have it all going on?

Yes I get compliments on here but so do most people, I am a frequent poster so i interact with people, does that make it seem like my inbox is overflowing with suitors therefore there's no point in trying?

Do you find it's more forumites or non forumites you interact with? Have you heard an opinion of yourself that you don't agree with?

Also! If youre looking for something still do you want people to get in touch?

"

I care not whether a forum poster is popular or not, I don’t give any thought to whether their inbox is overflowing.

If I like someone and point them out to Lacey and we both agree then we message them, simples.

I’d say that me being a regular forumite does hinder us with other forum users.

Like you, we do receive a fair few compliments now and again but we’d hardly say our inbox was overflowing and certainly not with the kind of messages we’d like to receive.

My cheery style of posting and often flippant remarks are guaranteed to rub some people up the wrong way.

Fortunately for me, Lacey swiftly got bored of the trolls, cliques, faux flirting and general bullshit the forum produces daily and pretty much leaves me to post what I like, which in turn paints a picture of us both that’s probably nothing like us.

We tend not to interact with the non forum folk.

We are still looking for more experiences but we’re in no great rush.

We are open to anyone unless they’ve abused that openness, we just block any nastiness these days.

I’m sure there’s inaccurate opinions of me among forum people but unless you’ve spent some time with me personally the opinions matter nothing.

The letter was in your mouth but you didn't realise until you got home!

Don't you use rather "nasty" big boy machine in your work?
