You are not alone! Top of my profile says 'not looking for single guys' yet they still message me! I do read profiles and check interests. There are far more men to women ratio on here, I think women are generally more polite on here which means there are a higher ratio of dickheads!

Well spoken OP. Shame some people feel compelled to ruin it for everyone else. Shouldn't have to come to people feeling uncomfortable on here and leaving the site.

Op its definatley not just single women, on our couples profile we get bombarded and harassed all day. Wish the same could be said for mh singles profile. I think the issue is the majority of single men dont have the swingers mindset

Yes, im one of those women who think its time to quit looking now. Im genuinely wanting to meet someone who wants to meet regularly and be friends and lovers but men on here just want to fuck around it seems.

I meet someone we have fun then they think its ok to ignore me and disappear. Meaningless sex is now boring.

Yep op very true and my wife and I have twice in the past got fed up with the cocks who can’t read and given up!!

If it's a very long an with the disclaimer it's off putting. I don't mail them.

If it's one line I also don't mail them. I nail females that as an I interest in single men an can accommodate

I've had a fair amount of abuse/harrassment on here since I joined, especially this weekend.

A lot of the guys just can't take rejection very well. I'm always nice/polite about it but it doesn't always work.

Get it on the couples profile too which surprises me even more when it clearly states he will reading and responding to messages too!

It's really not on and definitely spoils it for the genuine ones.

Trying too woo, court, conduct the most epic poem in her gracenessess honor. Turning you're nose up because we didn't read you're mind and had the most perfect enicial message lined up for you, I agree fucking someone then ignoreing them is uncalled for. Or calling some one a fat bitch because they didn't want too fuck you. Well hold on now boyo that fat bitch was the most beautiful thing you'd seen before she rejected you. I just think this place is sopposed to be fun, and people can over complicate a simple dynamic.

Personality is difficult to judge through text. But general attraction between two people is not from photos. If you're attracted then meet, and let you're personalities blossom if that's what you're looking for and keep you're pants on. If not take them off and fuck the shit out of that man you found attractive. But then again sex without a genrel bond, can grow very tiresome.

Well said! I couldn’t have said that better myself! They don’t realise that this behaviour makes us lose faith in men and even leaves us feeling shit about ourselves sometimes.....

Sorry to say that some couples can be the same we've had a few "wanna fuck" messages off the female half of the couple and there the only messages we don't reply to

We've blocked all single blokes as it's not what Lou is looking for but I can imagine you get the same sort of messages of them too.

Same as everywhere else then? And that's the point. This is a website, not a magical kingdom where the usual truths of life don't apply. I'm not a permanently horny lace clad nympho, I'm a dumpy, irritable middle aged woman who took some photos in black lace lingerie. The men who can grasp these facts and tailor their behaviour accordingly are the ones who end up becoming familiar with the horny lace clad nympho side of me it's the men who assume it's my default setting that end up being ignored or rejected. If you stop treating this place like it isn't real life then you're halfway there already.

Plenty of women on here do just want a fuck and not interested in becoming friends or lovers.

But you're right in as much that people should read profiles and only contact those with matching interests - unfortunately those that don't read profiles also don't read forums.

Made my profile quite arsey and still men try.. But then get quite rude n verbally abusive if they don't get the answer THEY want.

Sadly I'm quite articulated for some.

Just use your filters/block facility...Fab is what it is.

Idiocy on Fab is the nature of the beast, you ait going to get hearts and flowers here, there are respectful guys but you have to do your bit too.

I can see it from both sides tbh, it is hard for guys to get a response... Frustration does sometimes boil over.

But I have heard horror stories of badly behaved women as well so guys don't tend to have it easy here

The unlevel playing field is something I am always mindful of.

Was at Townhouse yesterday, one guy really knocked my confidence with his no manners arrogant attitude so it does happen in rl too...

At least you can choose to block and ignore on Fab. Not so easy in rl enviros.

Yes it can be frustrating here but at the same time it can also be great fun. I've met some fantastic people off here and have some regular fun which is always great.

I have my filters tight so don't get bombarded with mails. If you don't want mails just block guys and go look for yourself message the guys that take your fancy don't expect them to do all the work. Read their profiles if you like them send them a message.

Ignore and block the rude ones.

I always meet socially first and before I meet I chat for a while in here so you get a pretty good idea about the other person I'm upfront with what I want which is to meet hopefully regularly but not a relationsip and I don't expect anyone I meet to be exclusive and just meet me or visa versa. I find being upfront works best on here.

Yes it can be frustrating at times but it's the same for everyone on here md to be fair guys get it a lot tougher on here than women. Yes women get mails and some are just dumb rude horny ones that guys have sent when horny. But guys get rejected over and over and some women and couples are just as rude and ignorant as any of the worst guys. Some of the demands I have seen on here are crazy.

Basically I suppose just use fab whatever way you want. Try and not take it too serious be upfront in what you want from here. Yes there are twonks on here but there are also a lot of decent people to have fun with as well.

Couldn't agree more.

I'm currently in a meh mood with this place so I didnt renew my supporter pass, I've reduced my profile.

I'm not overly bothered either at the moment but i hang around because i know from experience that there are some good guys around

But that opens them up to the world of multiple “No thanks” messages. I know that’s unlikely but for some even one or two of them would be too many. It’s probably a confidence thing? Why else would someone put themselves through the whole “Yellow page of crap messages, abuse” cycle? yet these very same women have no compunction about destroying someone else’s confidence (those in there that don’t send “meet now, faf”) with a straight read/delete etc.

The strange old unequal world of Fab..

I’ve always thought guys should not be allowed to send a first message but I also think very few on here use their filters fully too.

I know its awards season ..so...

And todays have a swipe at guys thread award goes to..

I have a simple solution. Whoa 2 good really tell me how. Ok.. sit comfy heres how.

Use the tools the site provides.. really yep its available in your account settings .. block those genders who cause the problem, take control.

But then I won't get any messages..this is true.. you can Message those who do interest you ..really..yep... don't forget to read their profiles though..

Often said effort in reward out.

I did a thread called 'junk mail' a while ago, it said something like we all get 'junk mail' in our day to day lives, on here we can board up our mailbox and stop the 'junk mail'.

2good awaits the usual ..

Theres no info on guys profiles block move on.

I might miss a diamond.. ..you might anyway in the mass of mail.

Take control of the controllable.

If not the chances are those you reference op will likely not read your plea or won't heed it , afterall you saythey don't read profiles why would they read this.

Why else would someone put themselves through the whole “Yellow page of crap messages, abuse” cycle? yet these very same women have no compunction about destroying someone else’s confidence (those in there that don’t send “meet now, faf”) with a straight read/delete etc.

The strange old unequal world of Fab..

I’ve always thought guys should not be allowed to send a first message but I also think very few on here use their filters fully too.

S this"

Ahhhh, maybe it should be something that's made clearer on the profile. It would be interesting to see if women deal with rejection better than men. That said, some guys on here are dying of thirst so it wouldn't be a very good experiment.

"I feel this applies to both genders not just men. We could all benefit from remembering our manners, being polite, and treating each other like humans. Not everything has to be a battle. "

Totally this, also if you are fed up with messages from men, women, couples, or unicorns, simply use your filters block them all and go out and find the ones you do want to interact with.

I quite simply just dont read, respond or react to the idiot messages. Unless I'm feeling very school m'am-ish and someone needs a telling off. Just keep scrolling merrily on by. I find more people than not read my profile though, even if they seem to miss the most pertinent aspect of it

Lots of people have a preference for moaning about a problem rather than dealing with it.

A full inbox is better for their ego, even if it is full of crap!

I’ve got some smashing friends from fab ,it’s all about the way you approach it

Quick shag no thanks !

I think your find this is a problem generally not just on Fab ,yup the Neanderthal man will try and fuck a frog if it stops hopping it really doesn’t do us single fellas any Justice that are genuine

Most of my lady friends from here do complain about it but they are smart enough to find the diamonds in the rough and block the rest

Same could be said on the other hand for a lot of ladies on here that treat single fellas with contempt before they’ve even been given a chance ,a lot of tarring with brushes going on and it do piss me off !

I was highlighting how if I was to message a guy being blunt and direct they’d lap it up and be running all the way to me, dick in hand. It’s just the way things are on here.

Some of that may be your own perception and some of it truth.

The truth is often unpopular on here because as they say 'the truth hurts' - everyone's totally in control of their own experience on here, you can stop the abusive messages if you want to and stop the tonnes of drivel if you want to, but you have to WANT to!

OP thank you for the " not every man on here " comment.

Fakes,lack of respect, lack of manners and understanding hides behind a lot of profiles .

Not here to defend or accuse anyone but to point out one flaw on the website and a way to improve it.

Fab verification system is partially at fault allowing initial profile creation and making it public before it's verified.(Fab photo verified just to be clear and not

to be confusedd with personal verification later )

Not saying it would get rid of all fake profiles but at least make it harder.

Reverse the process make the verification a first step .

Sure people using Fab longer than me would have other ways to improve this issue too.

I have a simple solution. Whoa 2 good really tell me how. Ok.. sit comfy heres how.

Use the tools the site provides.. really yep its available in your account settings .. block those genders who cause the problem, take control.

But then I won't get any messages..this is true.. you can Message those who do interest you ..really..yep... don't forget to read their profiles though..

Often said effort in reward out.

I did a thread called 'junk mail' a while ago, it said something like we all get 'junk mail' in our day to day lives, on here we can board up our mailbox and stop the 'junk mail'.

2good awaits the usual ..

Theres no info on guys profiles block move on.

I might miss a diamond.. ..you might anyway in the mass of mail.

Take control of the controllable.

If not the chances are those you reference op will likely not read your plea or won't heed it , afterall you saythey don't read profiles why would they read this. "

I always find it a little ironic that threads regarding men not reading profiles exist. For to have an impact they must be aimed at the men that do not read profiles, but it is highly unlikely that men that choose not to read profiles would read a forum......

That aside there are numerous tools to manage your interactions through the site, simply put, you can make the first move, block everyone from messaging you and minimise a massive amount of the issues.

As for men that fuck once and disappear, well that is part of the nature of this site. If it were a traditional dating site, then you would be detailing likes and interests and intimating that you would like a relationship. Now you can use Fab as a dating site if you wish, but it seems a little foolhardy to expect others to be using it the same way.

If you would like a relationship style encounter, with longevity and the like, then when you do meet someone, it would probably be wise to delay the physical interaction until you are sure that the person you are meetings intentions are the same. The same as you would on a dating site.

Ultimately you have control over, who speaks to you, who you meet, what you do when you meet and articulating your expectations when you do meet.

Just as with dating websites there will be some people that lie and cheat (of all sexes) to get what they want, but you can minimise this by not just waiting for someone to message you, but by being proactive.

Read my post above yours, few posts up.

There is a start imo.

Not questioning personal responsibility we have here or genuine website users.

Just an issue with the website at initial stage of registration .

Sticking up for the single male.

And as a result are rude and dimissive and believe they have a bigger right to this site than men ...its not a very attractive trait.

Simple answer as most have said... set your filters tight. And be respectful"

I recently had a guy msg me " I'm working in your area. Can I pop in on my way to my next job?"

Never spoken to the guy im my life. He knew nothing about me, not even what I look like.

I responded " Quite apart from the fact that asking to visit a random woman, is frankly, creepy. Even guys that hire escorts usually have some idea of what theyre getting"

Tell me, was that rude or dismissive?

Or both?

Must admit I have thought about leaving. Its only the forums that keep me here. Always bombarded with awful messages and end up hiding my profile for peace an quiet.

I want a regular lover that's a friend too. But that quickly gets turned into me wanting a relationship somehow. I don't! I want to revert back to normal life after a meet with no ties or expectations on either side. Literally want a regular who understands that it's adult fun but we both go back to real life feeling satisfied and smiling.

We are all human yet sometimes that lack of humanity is displayed by both sexes.

It's just a personal view but friend lover maybe more it's inbuilt into most of us part of our humanity and need for personal interaction at all levels not just for sex.

We can all get sex, well almost all probably, but without all the other elements of a full complete and contented life I really dont see the point..

No my friend, I was trying to illustrate to him that women on here are not here to be at men's beck and call

I've given up trying to get replies on here now. There are just so many on here and so many rude people that cant take no for an answer. I totally understand why women just delete or don't reply to messages. I got so frustrated with my messages being read and never getting a reply. I'm not one for lets meet now. I like to get to know a person and click with them, then have a social. in the early days of this site it was great. 9 times or of 10 your messages got answered even if it was to say no thank you. but now I think there is just so many people on here now

I know just find out when local socials are on and go to them to meet people. you get honest people at them who will chat.

They have their life, you have yours, they when you are together you have a life together, do things together, sleep together, then you go back to your own lives until the next time. You might chat daily, couple of times a week or only to arrange the next time & what you are doing (Dinner, movie, day(s) out/away.

You care for them & they for you but neither(none) of you want an everyday full on thing..

Like that?

Part time lover? Yet even that probably really doesnt work. It has connotations of expecting another to almost be there on demand and just piss off into the ether at anothers whim.

I think I understand what your saying but it concerns me that it's almost a friend or lover solely or mainly on your terms. Like turning a tap on and off when required. I've never seen friendship or lovers work unless there is mutuality where both can accept whatever it is that each can give.

In my experience usually one is more invested than the other. Maybe that's what makes it so difficult to find, whatever labels we put on it?

Realistically what do you expect Fab admin to do? Make everyone take some kind of test to prove they are worthy? Sorry but it's not down to the site owners or admin to *do* anything in this respect (unless someone breaks site rules or the law of the land) - they just provide the site, it's ultimately down to individual users (men, women, couples, TV/TS's alike) to treat others with respect and consideration, use the tools provided by the site and elsewhere, have the correct approach and expectations and use a healthy dose of common sense - sadly none of that can be enforced or even taught but for those of us that do employ it our time on the site is mostly a positive experience

I don't think they will as those that use the forums are rarely regular players. Plus five women? Meh you'd probably find fifty guys/couples a day leave & get replaced by others..

Agreed its not ideal but to think women leaving is more important than anyone else just continues the "Special" myth really.

I still think guys not being able to message first is a good idea as it would dispose of fantasists on both sides. But it'll never happen as fantasists & the uncouth still have wallets & purses.

I have followed this thread with some amusement, yes I am on here as a single male, my partner had cancer and has not been sexually active for ten years, that is neither here nor there. I have been looking for a regular fwb for a few years yes I read the profiles and if it is obvious they are not wanting the attention of a single male then leave alone but it seems that men are the problem! Far from it most women cannot be bothered to reply or are just downright rude, I am polite and never treat people rudely, always treat as you would like to be treated, maybe I am old fashioned but it seems in this day and age manners and politeness and respect have all but disappeared!

Sigh. Its not rude to ignore a message. Its in the site FAQs. No reply=no thankyou.

If a message is responded to with a simple no thanks, theres the risk of abuse back, or more messages asking y not etc, and then if I change my filters, they can still message!!

I don't reply to messages if im not interested. I just block.

Then they don't show up on my searches, and cant message me again. No one, absolutely no one on here is entitled to any of my time.

I've stated in my profile that I won't reply if I'm not interested. If someone doesn't bother to read it, or messages anyway and then gets cross and abusive when they don't get a reply (last time it happened was this morning) then I'm not sure how I can be held responsible for that due to lack of manners. I'm not responsible for managing other people's expectations and I've been clear and polite about how I use the site. A lot of the messages are very complimentary but I'm afraid that I don't treat the compliments as sincere due to the number of times I've been called irresistibly stunning until I say I'm not interested at which point I become a fat ugly whore.

I'm not saying women don't behave unpleasantly here, they do. But not replying to a message doesn't count as that. Replying with abuse and contempt is very bad manners. Replying to say no thank you... Is that really preferable to no reply? There's a reason women don't do it but would you genuinely prefer an explicit to an implied rejection? I know I wouldn't.

I meet someone we have fun then they think its ok to ignore me and disappear. Meaningless sex is now boring.

If fabmin ask all of the ladies how the site should be run they'd get as many different responses,

if they did change it to a female utopia do you think it might piss off the couples ..oh wait does their opinion count, yep.. but hey lets not ask the single guys though they're not worth an opinion.

the site provides tools, use them all, some or none. Choice is yours.

Why would you say it'll never happen, it has and is already an option, you can block all others from messaging you first, or just single men or women or couples or unverified or any combination of things to make fab work your way.

My eyebrows raise at threads like this as the solution is already there, just the people who like complaining cant be arsed to use them!

"Must be about five women on this forum who have been thinking of leaving dont you just hope the folk on fab admin are looking at this forum i set up and really see what us women really think and that some thing has to be done"

Question for you OP, do you

A) not use the filters because you actually like receiving lots of messages even if they annoy you?

B) not use the filters because you didnt know they existed?

C) not use the filters because you are not willing to do the first message?

I agree, & the repetitive "I get a zillion shit messages" "Why are men such dicks" Are just as boring as the "Why cant I get a reply/meet?" etc. ones..

The bulk block get used but by very few women, it won't happen because no matter how crass they are many of the quick fuck brigade joining pay subs, stop them messaging you will stop them joining = no subs. Also ladies that say they'd never send a first message would leave = less subs..

However as you asked here is my take on it. My logic if you stop guys sending first messages is this.

No more Fri/Sat night randoms joining expecting to be fucking in an hour.

No more shit messages, much less abuse when you say no after contact.

No more short shit profiles with no pics or just dick pics as they'd have to dangle a good carrot as it were.

On the otherside

No more fantasists

No more ego boosting yellow mailboxes for some.

No more massive inequality in the sexes so they'd have to make more effort to.

I'd also take away the ability to Fab pics. you should put them up because you like them & to draw attention for meets not to get to the top of some imaginary tree whose foundations are firmly embedded in shit. This is based on the ladies very own "Why are men such twats/wankers/abusers" These same guys fab your pics ladies......

But then that's just me, i'm a straightforward type of bloke & call a spade a spade....

I never think to look at how many times my pics have been fabbed. As you say, I've put them there so guys can get an idea of what I look like. If I wanted masses of fabs and loads more apparently ego boosting messages I'd post naked ones.

Unfortunately nothing will change unless the site admins change the conditions to join the site. Personally I think everyone should be photo verified and pay the site supporter fee and if you are abusive in a message then should be banned with no refund. Unfortunately it's never going to change so the idiots spoil it for the nice ones.

I don't get it, it's a swinging site.

Why anyone would be shocked that a guy on here would want to shag around is beyond me.

Talk of being friends and lovers and being surprised when a guy doesn't want that is delusional, yes you can find those things on here but it's a small monitory who find that and expecting it or being surprised when it doesn't happen is ridiculous.

Losing faith in men because of fab!? Men on here almost all come here for sex and nothing more. I would have thought that was fairly obvious, If you don't realise that then you're horrendously naive.

This clearly isn't a dating site. It doesn't pretend to be a dating site. Be realistic.

There could be an ‘button’ to press that sent an automated ‘no, thank you’ message and automatically blocked the recipient. That would solve the issue of those who want replies and those who don’t want to meet them or hear from them again.

For those men: The premise that so many men on here are no hoper losers is good because it doesn’t wreck things for the ‘good’ guys, on the contrary, it makes the ‘good’ guys look better. You can’t seriously blame other people for your perceived ‘lack of success’.

Well would say that the site is far in advance of a dating site!

The idea i believe is that its a life style site Would like to think that the socials we attend are a chance to make friends as well as potential sexual meet ups but not a giveme I always contact by message people couples women who i would like to think that we could be friends as well as erotic sensual sexual encounters

Maybe am wrong but would like to think am on the right track If your looking for fuck and go then i dont believe this is the site for you

But there are many on here if i was asked would am only male with a high libido as many are

"Must admit I have thought about leaving. Its only the forums that keep me here. Always bombarded with awful messages and end up hiding my profile for peace an quiet.

I want a regular lover that's a friend too. But that quickly gets turned into me wanting a relationship somehow. I don't! I want to revert back to normal life after a meet with no ties or expectations on either side. Literally want a regular who understands that it's adult fun but we both go back to real life feeling satisfied and smiling.

Isnt friendship a relationship too?

And I may be a bit odd but lover doesnt that also suggest a relationship in some form?

Like you I've become disillusioned with fab and wandered away from time to time. I stay now for the forums mainly.

We are all human yet sometimes that lack of humanity is displayed by both sexes.

It's just a personal view but friend lover maybe more it's inbuilt into most of us part of our humanity and need for personal interaction at all levels not just for sex.

We can all get sex, well almost all probably, but without all the other elements of a full complete and contented life I really dont see the point..

See this is why I hate using labels. Agreed a lover or friend is a relationship but not the relationship people it label what I want with.

In other words I want someone regular for sex but not just sex. That's too cold. But I dint want full on 3 words and moving in stuff either.

How do you put that into words or labels correctly?Where you'd have respect for the other person and not just use them and treat them well and for the person they are.

They have their life, you have yours, they when you are together you have a life together, do things together, sleep together, then you go back to your own lives until the next time. You might chat daily, couple of times a week or only to arrange the next time & what you are doing (Dinner, movie, day(s) out/away.

You care for them & they for you but neither(none) of you want an everyday full on thing..

Part time lover? Yet even that probably really doesnt work. It has connotations of expecting another to almost be there on demand and just piss off into the ether at anothers whim.

I think I understand what your saying but it concerns me that it's almost a friend or lover solely or mainly on your terms. Like turning a tap on and off when required. I've never seen friendship or lovers work unless there is mutuality where both can accept whatever it is that each can give.

In my experience usually one is more invested than the other. Maybe that's what makes it so difficult to find, whatever labels we put on it?

"

I disagree with your first paragraph. It has to work both ways. Not on the terms of one. I for one would hate to have something on my terms and wouldn't like it on someone else's either.

There are lots of circumstances in life where this could suit someone.

Someone with a career that doesn't leave much time for a full on relationship might want this scenario, or even somine that is in a sexless relationship due to their partner being ill or unable to have sex. It happens. And there are many other variables. A single mum could want this and not want to introduce her kids to a partner etc.

I've had it before. It is possible.

I get the frustration women feel on here.

I can only imagine what some of the messages can be like judging by the previous posts, and knowing what some guys are like...

As a single bloke, it is very difficult to actually get a real response to a message sent, but you can find some really decent and even nice replies even though they are few and far between.

I have made peace with the fact that perseverance is the key to finding the partner I am looking for. If I get blocked or ignored for fabbing a photo or sending a message, it is not a reflection on me. It's part of life on the site.

For the ladies that do feel overwhelmed and pushed to the point of leaving, please don't. For your own sake. You joined for a reason, that reason was you and something you want. Use the advice given above and apply filters. Also, take everything with a pinch of salt because it is online. When something in your inbox displeases you, delete it.

But if it really is making you soul deep unhappy, then do leave. Don't let it break you.

There's my penny's worth, for what it's worth.

We look for our own single males now as and when we want them, we have a few contacts we have made and will invite them back sometimes.

As FB's it is nice to have a open relationship where we come together purely for fun. We talk and chat every day and are there for one another. We are friends, but I would never think of inviting him to meet the family, or washing his smalls lol.

Being open allows me to be free with my bisexuality in a way that I have felt constricting in previous relationships.

Totally fed up!

The daily shit in my inbox is ridiculous. And yes I more often than not have multiple filters on, and frequently turn so many filters on that literally nobody can message me to give myself a break.

I could write an erotic novel with all the unwanted fantasies sent to me, could probably play snap with most women on here with all of the copy and paste messages, and if I get another first message saying "meet now?" I'm actually going to go nuts.

I block regularly, try to be the bigger person when someone decides to be an asshole, and delete so many stupid messages every time I come on here it has taken all the fun away from something that should be enjoyable and lighthearted.

And men whinge about why they can't get meets?! If you message 50 people a day with the same bullshit and it doesn't work, surely you'd take a step back and reconsider your approach instead of bashing away at the numbers game and complaining when it doesn't work.

If they were maybe limited to 3 new contacts a day or something, they would use their messages more widely and people would feel more inclined to talk to one another decently. (Maybe something for admin to consider?!?)

I could write an erotic novel with all the unwanted fantasies sent to me, could probably play snap with most women on here with all of the copy and paste messages, and if I get another first message saying "meet now?" I'm actually going to go nuts.

I block regularly, try to be the bigger person when someone decides to be an asshole, and delete so many stupid messages every time I come on here it has taken all the fun away from something that should be enjoyable and lighthearted.

And men whinge about why they can't get meets?! If you message 50 people a day with the same bullshit and it doesn't work, surely you'd take a step back and reconsider your approach instead of bashing away at the numbers game and complaining when it doesn't work.

If they were maybe limited to 3 new contacts a day or something, they would use their messages more widely and people would feel more inclined to talk to one another decently. (Maybe something for admin to consider?!?)

Sorry for the rant, need to get it out. And am considering packing up and leaving again.

It isn't what it used to be.

Why not block everyone and search for the people who fit your criteria and message them?

Even a broken clock can be right twice a day "

Thanks, I think

In cave behind a waterfall on a hill


"Must admit I have thought about leaving. Its only the forums that keep me here. Always bombarded with awful messages and end up hiding my profile for peace an quiet.

I want a regular lover that's a friend too. But that quickly gets turned into me wanting a relationship somehow. I don't! I want to revert back to normal life after a meet with no ties or expectations on either side. Literally want a regular who understands that it's adult fun but we both go back to real life feeling satisfied and smiling.

Isnt friendship a relationship too?

And I may be a bit odd but lover doesnt that also suggest a relationship in some form?

Like you I've become disillusioned with fab and wandered away from time to time. I stay now for the forums mainly.

We are all human yet sometimes that lack of humanity is displayed by both sexes.

It's just a personal view but friend lover maybe more it's inbuilt into most of us part of our humanity and need for personal interaction at all levels not just for sex.

We can all get sex, well almost all probably, but without all the other elements of a full complete and contented life I really dont see the point..

See this is why I hate using labels. Agreed a lover or friend is a relationship but not the relationship people it label what I want with.

In other words I want someone regular for sex but not just sex. That's too cold. But I dint want full on 3 words and moving in stuff either.

How do you put that into words or labels correctly?Where you'd have respect for the other person and not just use them and treat them well and for the person they are.

Part time lover? Yet even that probably really doesnt work. It has connotations of expecting another to almost be there on demand and just piss off into the ether at anothers whim.

I think I understand what your saying but it concerns me that it's almost a friend or lover solely or mainly on your terms. Like turning a tap on and off when required. I've never seen friendship or lovers work unless there is mutuality where both can accept whatever it is that each can give.

In my experience usually one is more invested than the other. Maybe that's what makes it so difficult to find, whatever labels we put on it?

I disagree with your first paragraph. It has to work both ways. Not on the terms of one. I for one would hate to have something on my terms and wouldn't like it on someone else's either.

There are lots of circumstances in life where this could suit someone.

Someone with a career that doesn't leave much time for a full on relationship might want this scenario, or even somine that is in a sexless relationship due to their partner being ill or unable to have sex. It happens. And there are many other variables. A single mum could want this and not want to introduce her kids to a partner etc.

I've had it before. It is possible.

"

I think you have just confirmed what I said about mutuality?

It's why I said that it's so difficult to find.

Once there was another I could have done that with, or at least tried to. Yet there would have always been difficulties in one wanting more than the other. Thats the way life often works.

That mutuality, the need to both be able to accept such a situation takes far more than either just fab randomness or something more "conventional".

Perhaps the only real option is, like all relationships, taking a chance on another and hoping it may grow to that arrangement that you may seek?

If only life came with guarantees....

If I felt fab was this bad, this is the action I'd take. Play it your own way

That's what I don't get. Fab has all the tools their for you so if you're not enjoying yourself take some responsibility for your experience and change it, rather than complain about other people using the site in the way they want.
