Loveliness on Fab
Jump to: Newest in thread
There are lots of people here who show that they genuinely care for others.
It can be a kind and empathetic post in a thread, but I’ve found that the genuine message that shows that somebody is interested in you, not in the way of carnal shenanigans but in a genuine, caring and interested in somebody else way.
Now that’s lovely. |

I spent over a week in hospital not long after I joined Fab, and someone I'd just met was the most incredible emotional support during a lonely horrendous time. Really shaped my experience here and helped me cope.
Plenty of people have had my back both physically and emotionally in various ways over time.
Lots of helpful advice in private.
One that sticks out is, I'd just received a huge diagnosis. One I'd waited years for. I was wandering around in a haze. Someone I never should have asked - some boundaries are best kept up, and I made mistakes - somehow managed to help me unpack a lot of the emotional baggage in the immediate aftermath. Someone who knows almost nothing about this and really wasn't equipped to do it. But fuck it made an enormous difference. |

I’ve made some incredible friends in my time here. Those that just know when things are tough, those that offer the best advice, those that just talk random crap and make me smile, those that bug the shit out of me but I still adore. And that one that’s like a sister to me. The girl I speak to daily that I completely adore and accepts me for the flawed human I am, just as I do her. That’s friendship. |

Loveliness on fab.
Where to start?
For years, decades even I have tried to deny my urges/desires. I have convinced myself I am weird, wrong and unworthy.
It hasnt been a nice place to live.
I recently found the balls to get involved in the forums, and the acceptance I have experienced had warmed my heart. I have had chats both public and PM with lovely non judgemental people. Straight, bi, gay, Male,female and all ports in between.
Thank you to all the fab lovelies out there. Thank you for showing me that me is ok! |

There are many lovely people who have been there for me at various times during my time on the forum.
One helped me when I got into a right old mess 5 or so years ago with some tough love.
One who I know is just there whenever I need him and is like a brother from a different mother in some ways.
One who helped me and supported me when I ‘came out’ as bisexual and helps me often with her humour and deep caring.
One who seems to be ever present at the moment and is an incredible support probably more than she realises.
One who is simply lovely and helped me to understand something when I thought I’d screwed up
I am fortunate to have also met some lovely people who I’ll never forget, but one in particular for blowing my mind while being supportive and understanding when I started meeting again.
You all have a place in my heart.

I see the forums as a cure for loneliness so manny people just to interact with yeah some you will never meet but thats the internet age this place keeps me cheerful in the main helps people who struggle with personal issues in there life it serves as a great release
for me it does anyway when im mad i can rage without fear of jail time when im happy i can sing from the roof tops
before fab i was actually really reserved and full of self hatred especially when i got too old to play rugby at the level im used to
but now i vent it at will some like some hate it but thats the beauty of it im unlikely to meet those who dont like me
iv discovered so many things and know my worth thanks to a few of you and iv found a few of the closest friends iv ever had and 1 who is and always be special to me in every way
Now iv no idea if this was the op but as a message to all the new people of fab struggling with life break out from the shackles holding you back let your personality shine and you will be rewarded as i have been

There's been plenty over the years.
I even married one and we had a couple at the wedding. Still keep in touch with a few ex fabbers who have moved on.
The site isn't just full of horny folk looking for sex. It's an alternative social network for many.

And that's as valid as everyone just looking for meets, camming or whatever they joined the site for.
No different to a tee-totaller going into a pub to socialise. And lets face it - the folk on here are often a lot more interesting and amusing than many on bookface.
Plus there's boobs.

I've been lucky to make and meet some truly wonderful friends. Even if I don't talk as often to some of you, I still think fondly of you.
From the group who were there for me after my best friend and dad died and even recently when I was in hospital - you've kept me laughing and smiling and were just there when I needed to talk. You listened to me and gave me the strength and space and love I needed to get through it. Thank you.
The people who have bought me brilliant cheese hampers and books that I love, been there when I am Aspie-ing out and reassure me, the grumpy mentor who I adore, the Disney view of the world that's in stark contrast to my own, the outrageous flirting and the people who sends me daily morning messages of love, daftness and beautiful Vs.
Thanks for helping me find my voice, for encouraging me profesionally, for gin fuelled days (and nights!), for wonderful audios, gigs, seminars and ridiculous gifs, burnt toasties, loyalty, respect and support and just being you. I always know that I can call one of you if things are good or bad and that's real friendship. I hope a few of you will be at the wedding.
And even the little messages of support, kindness and appreciation that people send on here. They mean a lot. It sounds a bit daft and sentimental (fuck the whole thing does really!) but the world can be really crappy at times but it's less so when there's genuine niceness. |

I’ve met some fantastic people on here, many of who have been very supportive of me when I needed it.
There are quite often posts in here that spread happiness. Iswinginadress did one the other day, and Noras secret service.
It’s lovely and fun |

There are a couple of people I would hope to be friends with for a long time, they've helped me look at things differently and just been there to listen or offer advice with no agenda beyond just being there which I will be eternally grateful for. Restores your faith in humans a bit when people who could easily take advantage don't. |

I admire those that are going through difficult times and can open their hearts to someone who has offered to be there for them. I know it's hard to open up to someone you may not have met.
The same admiration goes to anyone that opens their heart out to someone they've noticed is in need of a shoulder.

That is certainly the case,. the conversations are generally much more interesting than any other social platform Ive been on. i hardly go on any of the others nowadays. i have a few WhatsApp and Messenger groups of different friends and family and the Fab social network. That is plenty without being bombarded with boolocks on Bookface and Twatter |

There are some lovely people on here, I’ve received some great support when things have been incredibly tough.
I made one friend who even though we don’t speak every day she’s better than a sister to me.
Some forumites have sent lovely messages offering support and advice when we’ve shared similar life experiences. I appreciate you all for the laughs, the tears and the wtf moments x |

I think that it's harder for guys to make connections, mainly because they often view each other as 'the competition'.
For me though, the difference came when I started attending socials. Once people have met you and know that you're not just after one thing, it's much easier to make friends. |

what he means is he realised most the guys of fab are munters and not really competition |

I’ve been to many a social and regularly attend clubs. I’ve got one lady friend that I chat to and confine in. But in general I find the thinking is single guys are easily replaced. |

I'll talk to anyone me I just like to be friendly, if people have competitions then it's in their head not mine I've never been like that in life tbh
I totally get what you mean though I think even off here men are like that in general. It's refreshing personally to know I'm different in that aspect actually and why would you want the attention of someone you essentially have to beg for, I'd rather have natural attention or a wank tbh lol |

I was in another city when I got the call about my stepdad being diagnosed with cancer. Long, looong way from home.
I mentioned it to a Fab friend who I was having a conversation with that day, because I was near them when I usually wouldn't be. They dropped their shit and came sat with me for an hour, had coffee and talked nonsense.
I appreciated that so much. |

A few years ago both of us found ourselves unexpectedly not working (a mix of illness and redundancy) and got into dire financial straits with no idea how to manage and hit rock bottom.
Some friends through fab, took it upon themselves to drive over an hour to us with a pot of coffee and a bunch of flowers just to brighten our day with their company and some much needed hugs.
They will always be friends and their lovely actions never forgotten xx |

We will chat with anybody but unfortunately the main focus for the majority is sex talk and if the stated intention is just to chat that gets boring. There are a couple of people we do have just friendly chats with though and it's refreshing and often interesting and informative, especially and this person definitely knows who they are, the one who forced me to buy show stretchers.
I've said this before too, we have a line in our profile saying we are happy to meet just to chat and relax. Nobody wants to do that either.
Of course a lot of it could be because we just aren't the type of people others want to be friends with and that's ok. But I do think the number of people who genuinely want to make friends is very limited |

It’s really a privilege to be let into someone’s world, the part they don’t share with most others because they’ll be judged harshly for actually enjoying sex.
There are others who have helped with a message or supporting comment and you never know how big an effect that can have.
If the meaning of life is making connections (some say it is) then making them good is where it’s at. |

I agree. Most the time I chat about all sorts on here. I find sex chat boring. Much prefer to find a level on other things. I wouldn’t expect to just chat with people that wasn’t attracted to me. I suppose for me personally clubs is the best way to be social and meet friends. |

We've been to quite a few organised socials and people are mostly very friendly but it is noticeable that the ones who aren't interested in us sexually will move away very quickly or noticeably scan the room with their eyes while trying to appear interested in what you're saying . It is what it is. |

"Tell us a bit about the lovely people on Fab. No names, let's not piss on lamp posts. Not just or even primarily sexual.
You may or may not #knowwhoyouare"
Did you mean on the forums or Fab in general ? |

It's funny how sometimes it's easier to unload to complete strangers rather than to those closest to us. One in particular helped me thru a rather confusing, upsetting time. He's in another country so likelihood of meeting is low, but I'd love to thank him in person. |

I (Bear) often find myself chatting to people via the forums (male/female or couples) and then take it offline. No intent sexually from me at all but enjoy the banter and sometimes deeper chat. Honey is more likely to chat online to people shes attracted to specifically but we do balance each other out quite well.
Sometimes either approach can lead to play and more but oft not the initial intent. Probably means we're missing the point of fab |

Lots of good people on fab either in forums and chat. Very lucky to get to know a few. The banter is top notch and lots of friendliness and caring folk on here. Get through the fakes, attention seekers and time wasters as it’s definitely worthwhile  |

The forums are populated but heaps of kind, caring, wonderful people .
We have all seemed to navigate ourselves to the lounge and most have stayed .
When the chips are down , people rally round , lift and support ( A tad like a wonder bra ha ha )
We have a chuckle and there is what young people call banter . It's all great fun.
I will never forget the kindness shown to Pooch and I during his illness. Then the support I received from friends , when pooch passed across to the rainbow bridge . He's waiting there for me one day
Thank you friends |

It's typically abundant from those who don't strive to be number 1 for attention or popularity, nor with wisecracks - as much as I love people and their humour here.
It may be just the odd couple of words that you see, though very often, that share some sweet tenderness, or postrrs who invest a lot, to support others who they're not aiming to gain sexually or reputationally from.
Thankfully it's the great diversity of people here, with a sufficiently large volume of those who do care about others, that makes fab stand out from sites that I know. Most of these people aren't looking for anything, no indirect gains etc. It highlights the great country and its people here. |

I've had nothing but nice experiences with the lovely forum users of Fab. Almost everyone has been welcoming and engaging, even when I'm being a dick and just trying to be funny...on every single thread lol
There have been advice threads helping people with all manner of issues, both Fab and non Fab related. There are always fun threads, which I like the most, giving people the chance to be humorous and show their funny sides. Even the "clique" threads have been relatively entertaining with the brunt of people agreeing that if you get involved in the forum with the right attitude then people will happily converse with you.
I have a few favourite whome I love to see post as they always make me smile, and a few other whome I know come across as controversial but still manage to get people chatting. I have met some wonderful people at social events and I hope to meet many more, and I've played with one of 2 who have given me nights that I will never forget.
I spend a lot of my time on here because of the diversity of Fabbers and the chance to get to know people I might not normally meet.
It's been an absolute pleasure getting to know you all and as people come and go I look forward to talking to new people and welcoming old favourites back |

Lovely thread _naswingdress!
I've chatted to a few people who come across as very genuine. I've had the privilege of meeting some too. One or two I can count as friends. I hope to make more. |

I couldn't have got through what I'm going through at the moment without my wonderful fab friends. I've got friends that check in with me every day, but also I've been overwhelmed with all the support and private messages I've received over the last couple of weeks, they were totally unexpected and have helped me greatly. |

"I’ve made some incredible friends in my time here. Those that just know when things are tough, those that offer the best advice, those that just talk random crap and make me smile, those that bug the shit out of me but I still adore. And that one that’s like a sister to me. The girl I speak to daily that I completely adore and accepts me for the flawed human I am, just as I do her. That’s friendship. "
I absolutely adore you saffie. You are my sister. You have stood by me when other so called friends have been the biggest betrayal.
You know me better than anyone. You are the definition of loveliness. I love you so much and my journey on fab has been some what crazy you have stood by me through it all.
I’m so proud to call you my friend and am lucky enough to have found real love on here.

Over the years the have been a few people that have reassured me that it it's okay to be me. I know I'll never be one of the most popular forumites and I often really struggle with being me so that reassurance as it is almost always unsolicited means far more than those offering it will ever know |

You’re one of most honest and real people on here. As for being a popular forumite , don’t believe that those who portray themselves as being nice as pie and concerned about others on the forums are actually like that behind the scenes. |

"Loveliness on fab.
Where to start?
For years, decades even I have tried to deny my urges/desires. I have convinced myself I am weird, wrong and unworthy.
It hasnt been a nice place to live.
I recently found the balls to get involved in the forums, and the acceptance I have experienced had warmed my heart. I have had chats both public and PM with lovely non judgemental people. Straight, bi, gay, Male,female and all ports in between.
Thank you to all the fab lovelies out there. Thank you for showing me that me is ok!"
Being yourself is more than ok. It takes a lot of strength and guts to allow people to see the real you. Be happy who you are |

This is a wonderful thread. Thank you Inaswingdress.
There are very lovely people on fab. I've met a few at recent socials and made a couple of long distance friends. I'm looking forward to seeing them again very soon. |

There are some genuinely wonderful people on here. Some I have become good friends with even tho we live so far apart.I've met some amazing people as well and am lucky to have some who I meet regularly. It can be a fantastic place of support and kindness at times. It's also somewhere where you realise kinks are not to be ashamed of but embraced and good fun as well. |

I've befriended 3 of the loveliest girls & so far met 2 in person with the 3rd hopefully soon. All are now real life friends.
Also met the best tgirl friend i could ever wish for who helped & encouraged me & changed my life for good. A little bravery has brought great things to life. |
