So I’ve decided this year I need to actually date, otherwise I’m going to never have someone to go on holiday to all those romantic places with!!
What is the best way to go about this?
I am on;
POF - nice people never respond to my messages
Tinder - I forgot to swipe right, oh and if I do match they don’t message back!
Bumble- same as tinder,
Speed dating - not been in a few years, must revisit this
Out and about - I never get chatted up!
Can I buy a Thai Groom? 
I’d just like someone who is mentally available, tall, amazing in bed and likes to go on adventures... |

It's not too much to ask is it? Finding a guy to be everything - EVERYTHING - I need, who demands absolutely nothing in return, is it?! Ah, yes. Most definitely. Oh well, single life for me then.
Good luck lovely! |

Have a quick look around Bazingastoke. Not a million miles from you and I'm sure you'd find a lovely chap there......

Much as this isn't a dating site, people have met and are couples as a result of being on here, so it's not beyond the realms of possibility. I'd say to get yourself out as much as possible, especially if dating apps aren't working for you. Socials, meet ups, munches, even speed dating, the more avenues you open, the more likely you are to meet like minded people. Good luck! |

"And that’s the short list of wants!!
Maybe my standards are too high and this is why I’m single....
It’s all so confusing... "
You can freeze the milk on here.
These types of guys that are so desirable have abundant mindsets. They can get attract plenty of women who are seen as more of a commodity to them. |

I agree.
People can meet and form relationships anywhere - at work, pubs, bars, out shopping, at the supermarket, online....and yes...even on Fab.
Why should Fab be any less likely to provide a match than any other source?

I genuinely don’t think a guy would date a woman from here.
I just don’t think he’d like the idea of it, the fact that 100’s of people have seen pictures of his potential girlfriends tits or fanny. The stigma that by being on here we’re dirty somehow.
I’ve been told many times that I’m looking for love in the wrong place. |

If there was a connection, I would.
I really don't think it would bother me. Presumably we'd have the same life and sexual interests, it has the potential to be a match made in heaven. |

can i say something
keep your options open dont always think it will be fireworks straightaway
Love is a strange thing. I found it when i was least looking with someone id never dream.id be with in a million years and 13 years later i can honestly say hes everything ive ever wanted in a man i just never knew what i wanted
The bigger the list of wants the smaller the pool is going to be. Open your heart create a positive vibe and keep an open mind. You might be surprised at what you find |

I disagree with you, I have and would again, plenty of others have too.
Much as with any other part of life, people have histories, if they can't accept that you have a past and partners before then I'd say they're not the person for you.
In my opinion it doesn't matter about what happened in the past, it's about what happens when you're together. |

I would but wouldn't feel overly comfortable as a woman once described the attention they get on here as "an addiction" so not sure id be convinced it would work. Would need to be an extreme circumstance and an absolute genuine person |

Ok a guy who doesn’t want to have this lifestyle with his girlfriend and doesn’t want to swing or share.
A monogamous relationship would be hard to find on here. |

as should be the case! I'm more active on dating sites than I am on here. I've no meets planned or even had sustained conversation in private with any girl on here. I'm kinda using the forums to pass the time while I hopefully meet someone elsewhere as its unlikely to happen on here. |

POF was good ten years ago but unfortunately as with Tinder and Bumble, it's all about swiping.
The types of people on all three don't understand the concept of talk anymore. Shame really because there are some cute ones on there!
Would I ever date someone from fab? Why not. At least the awkwardness of discussing swinging is already confronted lol! |

It’s like a national version of naked attraction, we see everything before we connect. If I connect to someone more than just physical then I would feel that the profiles should be deleted. Yes, it’s a swingers site but it must be embraced by both partners. I would appreciate that each partner would have be admired by others but not as a relationship is building.
Online dating is the world we live in now, swinger site maybe another venue |

Unfortunately I don't doubt this. But a guy on this site who thinks that a girl is dirty because she is also on here is a hypocritical asshole and not the kind of guy that you would want to date, in any case. |

To be fair everything and everywhere people interact is an opportunity to find somebody to have a relationship with.
I know a couple who met at a funeral. Obviously they didn't go there with that intention but they hit it off at the wake and it just snowballed.
Never rule anything out when it comes to finding a date.

"So I’ve decided this year I need to actually date, otherwise I’m going to never have someone to go on holiday to all those romantic places with!!
What is the best way to go about this?
I am on;
POF - nice people never respond to my messages
Tinder - I forgot to swipe right, oh and if I do match they don’t message back!
Bumble- same as tinder,
Speed dating - not been in a few years, must revisit this
Out and about - I never get chatted up!
Can I buy a Thai Groom?
I’d just like someone who is mentally available, tall, amazing in bed and likes to go on adventures... "
Well it seems we think alike.
I have been forced by my work colleagues to join some of those dating apps .I have been single over 6 years and not dated.
And I did join this thing call Bumble just after Christmas
I don’t like that swipe left and right thing . It’s so boring .
I don’t know how long I will last on there ...

Isn't the whole point of Bumble that it's up to the woman to send the first message?
I get matches on there too and it baffles me that people like the look of me/my profile enough to swipe right, or whatever, but apparently not enough to open communications or respond to mine. I find Tinder/Bumble/POF hav been largely pointless. Had some success with OKCupid but even then the amount of effort one puts into writing meaningful opening messages that end up unread or otherwise ignored becomes increasingly demoralising. Everyone seems to want what they can't have, and undervalue what they can. |

I hope there's some snowballing at my funeral (or wake). A filthy send-off would certainly give people a reason to continue thinking about me after I'm gone! |

Like you OP I use dating apps and have also posted on the dating threads on here.
Reasoning - I like to date, the same way people like to attend clubs or meet one-on-one from here I imagine.
Would I date someone from here? Yes I would and, for me, I see no reason why it wouldn't work |

I've dated quite a few women off here, some of the best relationships I e had have been through fab.
Fab is like any other site, you just have to find the right person, and this us dictated by where you live and what you want.
Good luck to you and keep looking
I'd definitely date another woman off Fab again |

I've ended up dating a couple of guys off here over the years.. they've been way more relaxed and honest than so called vanilla dates. Some situations just naturally develop if both people are in the same place. A large percentage of singletons off here are also on other apps so don't see why it matters where you meet. Good luck x |

"Maybe compromise with standards.
They say men age like wine and women age like milk.
Only the misogynists though eh!?
Most men my age are totally clapped out and would require a serious dropping of standards."
To the lady who messaged me about this haha. I got bored a quarter of the way through. Didn't finish thanks for the essay though. |

"And that’s the short list of wants!!
Maybe my standards are too high and this is why I’m single....
It’s all so confusing... "
No your standards are not too high, you want to find the perfect man for you so he should be Mr.Right
My best friend used to tease me everytime we went on a night out. She said I'm going to be single forever, if I'm not willing to lower my standards. I didn't and then I met Cutie here on fab, it took me a few months to convince him that we should be more than FWBs, but it was so worth it. It's been over a year since we are together and I still think he's my Mr.Right and he's more than I've ever asked for.
Just don't lose hope and don't stop looking OP. Good luck

Bumble confuses me, I match, send a message (and yes, tailored to their profile, no copy and pasting and no Faf) and don't get a reply. Why bother swiping right in the first place? I don't think my messages were that awful.
And honestly my inbox on POF was basically the same as my inbox here.
I'm keeping options open, figure what's meant to be will be, just have to put yourself out there and make opportunities. |

Ladies please stop posting you’re looking to date on the forums......
All you’re doing is putting a bullseye on your fanny for crazy people to aim for....
You will get a deluge of men mailing you promising the world for a shag..... it’s a roadmap to disappointment ....
Just meet people and let it develop..,..,.
Now I’m someone who grew up with dating apps.... it’s a farce ....... you will match with someone , date for a little while then break up and right back to the dating app...
It’s a never ending circle..,. So to break the circle you have to do something crazy......
Get off your lazy ass and go out as much as possible.....
In university and high school, we used to go out all the time.... if there was a party or concert we were there , now that we are older we have become lazy.... we make excuses why we can’t go out... I’m tired from work, the kids need me ... blah , blah.....Unless the man of your dreams is a jahovahs witness , he isn’t going to knock on your door....
The solution to finding a long term relationship is to start being more social with friends and family....
Remember a fisherman can’t catch fish unless he puts his line in the water..... |

Do you have any hobbies or interests? You might have better luck meeting a suitable romantic match by going old school! Join some sort of activity such as a cycling club, yoga class, meditation class.
Maybe join a massage course or cooking classs, you learn a new skill & might meet someone in the process.
Good luck! |

I've got everything except the great in bed (this isn't a problem).
I found if you're sexually available on one site then you're pretty much seen as sexually available on all sites because the same men are on all sites out there pretty much. |

Dating sites are an extension of fab, they have all the same people.
There are a few I've seen on pof saying they are looking for a relationship, when I know that they're not. There are some genuine people on them though.
Real life is better, look up from your phone every now & again & look at who's around you. |

"I genuinely don’t think a guy would date a woman from here.
I just don’t think he’d like the idea of it, the fact that 100’s of people have seen pictures of his potential girlfriends tits or fanny. The stigma that by being on here we’re dirty somehow.
I’ve been told many times that I’m looking for love in the wrong place.
If there was a connection, I would.
I really don't think it would bother me. Presumably we'd have the same life and sexual interests, it has the potential to be a match made in heaven. "

I've tried PoF, Bumble, Tinder and Happn and I struggle.
Honestly I think Fab is my best bet, given the fact I'm as kinky as I am. Though I can't see many women falling for me in Tranny mode I've not thought this through very well have I? Perhaps I should have joined as a dude?
Oh well, if it's meant to be, it'll happen I guess. |

That's what I'm hoping to get from Fab. A little face time with an open minded woman.. time enough to let my personality shine through.
Because it's about sex, I don't feel like such a weirdo bringing it up. I can't help that my future potential sex life is important to me |

Im a bit confused about this post.
Surely you wrote it as a joke? how could you possibly be having problems getting a date.?
All we ever hear is women saying they get too many men chasing them.
If this is not a spoof post then i expect to get a message from you today and a date asap.
Of course if its not a spoof post the only possible reason for your lack of responses is because the men you meet feel you are above thier level and that you cant possibly be available so they dont try. |

There needs to a new "undateables" website that i can join.
Im on Tinder, POF and Bumble. Have been for many years and am still waiting for that elusive first date.
I have tried elite singles and at least one other pay site but still without any luck.
I dont have friends to go out with and socialise any more, so dating sites are my only option to meet women.
In 5 years I have a 100% success rate of meeting no one.
Its tough out there |

You say that but i disagree. I look for instant attraction with a girls profile picture before reading her profile and deciding whethet to message her or not.
How is that cold? You wont approach someone im a bar, pub or club and chat to them if you dont fancy them?
Either way, online or real life dating hasnt worked fot me. Im still single |

I find the whole idea of dating via an app cold. Until you physically meet, you wont experience that mutual flash in the eyes that you would get on the real world. |

Ive been trying to internet date for 18 months. All i seem to attract is weirdos or guys who are completely obsessed with sex and not looking for any sort of a relationship at all so now i just hang about on fab because at least the guys on here are upfront about that.
I dont go out and meet people in my day to day life because work and family commitments dont make that extremely easy.
Id be open to dating a fabber if i met someone who was open to that. |

Absolute same boat as you although this time round I haven’t been on dating sites as long.
I think most free personal dating sites will attract guys that are just looking for hook ups and like you say, at least on here you know where you stand, kind of! |

This i totally understand. What im saying is, surely the online app breaks the ice and you can still get excited knowing who you'll be meeting. Then youll see if there is any chemistry once face to face |

I go modern jive dancing, meets loads of people, very social and lots of single people. You will find people that want you for you not for sex. Personality and a smile in actual reality go further than sex in online non reality. Though everyone has the same problem of finding the love, nothing wrong with waiting for the right one |

"Just something cold and clinical about dating apps. If only we could met our potential spouses the old fashioned way.... Eyes meeting across the room etc
You say that but i disagree. I look for instant attraction with a girls profile picture before reading her profile and deciding whethet to message her or not.
How is that cold? You wont approach someone im a bar, pub or club and chat to them if you dont fancy them?

Doing the same thing here OP. I'm on pof, badoo, OK cupid so far. I may try some local dating sites such as pirate fm or Facebook too. I'm also on a good app called meet up where you can meet new people at organised events, such as pub quizzes, bowling, nights out etc. Also going to get out more in the real world. Good luck to you. Xx |

I use fab for uncomplicated fun. Meeting and dating the old fashioned way and all the fun and awkwardness that comes with it. I personally wouldn't use a dating app to find a spouse, I truly do belong in the last century in that sense |

I’d like to find a boyfriend this year .. a naughty one .. someone to hang out with on my weekends off .. holidays nights away dinners and movies summer fun etc someone who is horny and insatiable and wants sex all the time ! and perhaps not opposed to a more open relationship.. because sometimes it’s hard to not misbehave ! Is this too much to ask ! |

"Ladies please stop posting you’re looking to date on the forums......
All you’re doing is putting a bullseye on your fanny for crazy people to aim for....
You will get a deluge of men mailing you promising the world for a shag..... it’s a roadmap to disappointment ....
Just meet people and let it develop..,..,.
Now I’m someone who grew up with dating apps.... it’s a farce ....... you will match with someone , date for a little while then break up and right back to the dating app...
It’s a never ending circle..,. So to break the circle you have to do something crazy......
Get off your lazy ass and go out as much as possible.....
In university and high school, we used to go out all the time.... if there was a party or concert we were there , now that we are older we have become lazy....
Haha, speak for yourself honey, I'm nearly twice your age and I went to 9 music festivals last year, and I'm out dancing every weekend!!
I can’t really give you advice.... I’m sure you have shoes older than me....
Haha, I do indeed - went to a rock gig the other week and dusted off the pink pixie boots from the 80's!! Should of been asleep on your chair at home."
Plenty of time to sleep when you're dead! |

Happy to date from here as I think we are more honest on here compared to the dating sites. Tinder etc, you find most guys are douche bags and there are so many fake profiles. Least here we are real. |

OP I totally sympathise.
As a big girl the vanilla sites don't really produce many results for me. Being a single mum gives me very little chance to meet someone the old fashioned way.
But I want more than just fuck now but find myself always back here in the absence of anything else. This dating world is a tough world xx

In my experience, most women online expect you to do the chasing. Something I'm happy to do, provided they've given me enough information to spark up a conversation about. Which sadly, most leave their profiles blank, so I don't bother messaging them.
It's taught me many traditionally attractive women aren't as vain or superficial as I thought they were. That most women online are put off by a man's height, if he's short like me. Yet in person it no longer seems to be a factor. That arrogance isn't confidence. That the education levels in this country are pretty appalling. That people are very quick and seperate to commit to each other for the sake of being alone.
I'm not amazing, but I think I'm a pretty good catch. I dont lie, I'm loyal, loving, have tons of interests, am a great parent. And I've an adventurous outlook to life in general.
So I'm not going to settle. I'm going to meet crazy, open minded, sexual people like me, till one of them tells me im a bit of alright, or I can't help but tell them |

"I genuinely don’t think a guy would date a woman from here.
I just don’t think he’d like the idea of it, the fact that 100’s of people have seen pictures of his potential girlfriends tits or fanny. The stigma that by being on here we’re dirty somehow.
I’ve been told many times that I’m looking for love in the wrong place.
Unfortunately I don't doubt this. But a guy on this site who thinks that a girl is dirty because she is also on here is a hypocritical asshole and not the kind of guy that you would want to date, in any case. "
That's so true and there's a few examples on this thread of the 'shaggers' way of looking at Fab as opposed to the 'swingers' view. |

I would certainly date someone from Fabswingers, I would actually prefer it.
Those who sit on their high horse on Fab having sex but not wanting to date women who are also on Fab because they look down on them wanting to have casual sex, should delete their profile incase the women they want to date see them on here, and decide they don’t want to date them either. |

This is part where you're going to get fucked over and rejected and feel worthless. Sex is all fun and games but actually trying to find one of those guys you find attractive to want more? Whole different story. |

I don't imagine there is answer to the question. Every site will have different people looking for different things. Like life in general, you've just got to keep going until you bump into the right person. |

Been on 2 dates recently and I have to say it’s not easy anymore. On all the usual dating sites but it’s so much like hard work. Hence Fab. That’s as hard but more fun. |

"I’m in the same position. I’m on all the usual places, no joy whatsoever. I actually have no clue anymore how to find someone "
Go to the pub?
Hobbies?
Work?
Friends of friends?

As MsGivesWood has already mentioned have a look at Meet Up. I'm on there and joined a few groups to expand my social circle. There are groups for every interest from what I can see. |
