We had a rare evening off last night so went to gems.

Had a bit of fun with a chap we met there.

A lovely guy etc etc

However, we looked at his profile after and both said we would never have been interested based on his profile.

The feelings could have been mutual, but just goes to show how important clubs are.

Exactly!

I met a lovely couple at a club and we had a great time. I don’t even meet couples!

Indeed!

I have met quite a few fab friends and repeat meets through socials and clubs - some that didn't respond to a message on here but were welcoming in person leading to more than a few great times.

Getting out to socials and clubs was the best advice I got when I joined.

Just goes to show how difficult it is to give an accurate representation of yourself with your profile. Most people I chat with end up being completely different to how they portray themselves in their profile.

I read all of someone’s profile before I message them but mainly just to see if they state something that they are looking for that I don’t have to offer or if they state something that they dislike that applies to me, or if I see any other reason that would make it inappropriate for me to message them. For example, some profiles say VWE men only or that they’re a sub looking for a Dom which obviously would make me completely unsuitable for them. I don’t really tend to judge someone’s personality from their profile as you have to chat with someone to get to know what they’re really like.

Not everyone is good at articulating their personality in words or the best at taking pictures.

It’s like a cv, often it’s better to look at the basics elements in the profile then have a good old fashion conversation and see where things go

Books and covers, all that jazz

Clubs certainly have their place in the swinging world, and they work well for many. For me personally, they’ve been hard work going in as a single guy, and I would always recommend using Fab to a mate, than visiting a club

Glad you had a great night though OP

Clubs are the best way to meet people. Just go talk to loads of different people, have a laugh and see where things go.

Always have an amazing time at clubs and you don't have to waste your time messaging 100s of people.

We've never been to a club and find Fab has worked well enough for us over the years, even more so since our preferred meets these days are mmf's. If that's the way you want to meet then it's all down to due diligence and putting in the legwork at the initial stages. You do learn the 'tells' of the fakes and wasters quite quickly though.

Guys are one in million on Fab. In a club people see and feel the real you, with the odds dramatically reduced. Impossible i think for couples or women to really judge a guy's Fab profile, and pretty hard for a guy to stand out. Clubs all the way.

Never judge a book by it's cover or profile, in this case.

Belfast

Have never been to a club partly by choice and partly because there are only a couple in Ireland and they are all a few hours drive away and are only open one or two nights a month.

Therefore I've no idea of club etiquette but it wouldn't change a thing as far as I'm concerned. I don't play just for the sake of it and I would be more inclined to people watch. Anyone I perceived to be outside my age range or behaving in a manner I felt wasn't compatible I would pass by.

That’s a really good point.

People including us are very quick to judge. However so many profiles can instantly be culled, but occasionally you miss the odd gem.

We do this a lot. Meet someone at at a social and then look at their profile after playing with them and discover that we don't represent what they say they want and they don't seem to be what we are looking for.

That's why most of our meets come from socials

I seriously believe guys should spend more time thinking about how they should market themselves here.

As has been said, a meet profile is like a CV or LinkedIn, and there are companies out there who would rewrite yours for you.

I did a friend a favour and totally rewrote his profile. I made it super humourous and suddenly he got a lot of attention. However, he was too shy and geeky to cope. So although it wasn't a success story, it does prove a good profile makes hell of a difference!

Although I have what I believe and have been told is a good profile I am not very photogenic so even though I send courteous message I seldom get positive messages back.Some of the people I have message I have met at spa , club or social and seem to have a better connection in the real world than just sending messages.

Totally agree. I have met a few guys at parties who I have said no thank you to previously via message. Clubs, parties and large socials are the best places to meet face to face.

Nothing like a face to face social or chat either at clubs or public places to say what a profile just cannot.. Pictures speak wonders, but face to face chat can open that door that would otherwise be shut and locked... Enjoy yourselves everyone.. YOLO..

I’m the opposite. I’ve found the club scene to be the most disappointing and frustrating side of the swinging side to life, certainly being a solo male in one anyway. My most recent club visit proved just how invisible a single guy can be in one

Ultimately, if you have the right personality and charisma, you can probably do well at clubs. But you would also have no problem meeting single girls at bars, so you might have no need for swingers clubs anyway.

This is just my take on it being a single guy and all.. It will always be an uphill struggle no matter what the situation. But I feel that a profile can be a double edge knife in one way you have photos to give you an idea but photos never look great unless you lucky to look like a model and have a body of a god.

Writing profiles can be difficult for many, me Including but many can lie on their profile just to try to beat the competition but can't live up to the profile in person.

Some of us are shy till we feel comfortable so meeting in clubs can be a nightmare and we just wing it till something happens.

For me personally I find it a mix I as I can find both easy yet a challenge to strike that right topic within the forum but probably harder in a club I have learned a few tips over the years for the club.. But I find it I just turn up with no plan, no expectations apart from just enjoying it for what it is and if I get lucky it's a bonus if I don't then I had a good night.

Sometimes I wish there was someone you could go to who would make you a profile and take photos that show you for you, not your own filtered version of yourself. I do way better out in the real world than I do on dating apps or on here which must mean the way I represent myself on website profiles isn't giving people the 'true me'. But then out in the real world I have the advantage of a quick wit and dry humour that allows me to respond to everyone as an individual and on the spur of the moment where as an online profile is more of a generic, 'one size fits all' preset, and therefore maybe lacks the hook that makes people interested in me in 'real life'. It's a tough one for sure.

Do you ever look at people's verifications? If you click the profiles of the people who have verified the ones you're interested in, theoretically you will be seeing 'successful' profiles of guys who have managed to get meets with the type of person you're interested in. Most of them are either A) rubbish or B) the polar opposite of what people advise you makes a good profile - endless dick pics, one or two fairly generic lines of text

So either these guys write amazing opening messages, manage to time things just right, or there's something else intangible I can't put my finger on...

I will say though that almost all the friends I've made on here have been through the cam chat rooms - again, I think there's something in people being able to see your face and a genuine laugh or smile from time to time.

Yes, I have noticed the phenomenon you describe. I figured it was because they'd hit it off in person at a club first and then verified subsequently, rather than meeting online based on their profiles.

Perhaps it's your interactions on the forum?

Maybe. I understand the general consensus is that the overwhelming majority of Fab users never even look at the forums, though. "

But you're asking on a forum thread. I block or don't respond on the basis of forum interactions fwiw. As do others.

We’ve seen people in clubs we’ve turned down on here and ended up having a night of fun with them. A lot of peoples personality is hidden in written text but when you see them in person they’re completely different to how you imagined.

I think about you every time these threads come up! Hah.

I'm okay, given the circumstances. Waiting for the pandemic to fuck off a bit so I can return to environments in which I can actually meet people, rather than just depressing myself with how uniformly ignored I get online!

Mate, I visited Club Play on Friday 17 December, and felt uniformly ignored in person, and I can tell you, it’s a much better feeling online!

Oh no, I'm sorry you didn't have a better time of things. Are clubs still quiet? I haven't been to one since before the pandemic.

I'm glad you have a more positive experience online, but things are completely different for me. "

I'm used to visiting clubs on the 'wrong night/quiet night' lol I hear "You should've been here last week" a lot But it only takes two people to make it a good night right? One friendly regular would have made all the difference I had (literally) zero expectations, and would have been happy to just get my name put around a bit, but there you go. Think I should have gone to Infusion first on a daytime ticket, then had some food before going to Play a little later than I did, when more people were probably in

FWIW; I do have my share of tyrekickers online, I'm just more used to spotting the signs early on, then blocking before they waste any more of my time. Think of it like speed dating......tick, tick, yes.....or cross, cross, block!

Well there is a smaller pool of people to look at while at clubs, vs this catalogue of wishes…

So I guess you can take your time and give someone a double look, or actually strike up a real conversation with a simple “hi” which less likely to be ignored and go from there.

I met a guy in a club and we had the most amazing sex, he was a genuinely lovely man. Chatting over a few drinks later on in the evening, it transpired that we'd actually had words on fab (he had a rubbish 'fill in later' profile) and he was on my block list! Haha Thankfully we both laughed it off.

I suppose it goes to show that you can't judge a book by its cover.... Although when all you're presented with is the cover it's all you can go on.

That's a huge reason why we don't really use fab for hooking up and generally use clubs as our hunting ground for couples and single. It hard to get a good feel for people until you meet them in person.

Amen to this. Lost count of the number of single guys we've turned down because we only meet at clubs and they don't go to them or have never been, those are only the ones we would have liked to meet.

Well, certainly nothing beats a face-to-face impression from the other person’s way of speaking, their body movements, their facial movements etc. Behind an attractive profile can hide a surprisingly disappointing meet and vice-versa.

And although I feel much more drawn to intimate house meets, I must accept that a club is a slightly safer environment. You really don’t know what kind of weirdo you might be inviting to your own place after all. It’s such a painful shame that none of the clubs in my area would ever do a bisexual night even in 10 years from now!!

We’ve not been to a club but all the couples we have got on with on social meets have told us not to bother.

We have been to a large social though and we really felt on the periphery as it was full of groups who knew each other with little opportunity for us to break in.

Maybe we’re more suited to Fab than clubs but each to their own.

Ive played with many couples in clubs who wouldnt give me the time of day anywhere else, particularly on Fab which for meets is a real lottery. Im married which puts many off yet I wear my ring at the clubs and always say Im married if asked. My profile has me as enjoying bi-oral sex in a MFM scenario yet Ive played with couples whos profile states the usual insecure "male 100% straight". Ive even blown a few guys in clubs who are 100% straight on their profile.

Clubs at least allow personality to show through and not reliant on the ever increasing airbrushed altered images that appear on the site.

It's not surprising that couples have met single guys at clubs that they have turned down online or just deleted their message, just because of the high amount of messages a couple or single lady will get on fab.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to meet every single person that messages in person, even just for a coffee. That's why I prefer to meet people in a club as if we don't click/can't find each other or any other reason, there are still others in the club that may float my boat. Also, it shows the person can make a bit of effort to try and meet me, rather than treat me as free prostitute, available all hours and able to meet at the drop of the hat.

That's all well and good, if you happen to have a club on your doorstep. For me though, making "a bit of an effort" involves a round trip of 3 hours travelling, plus a single guy entry fee, as opposed to popping in to a local coffee shop or pub.....

Nobody would know if they were interested in you because your profile doesn't reveal anything about you! Get some decent pics up, and I don't necessarily mean cock pics. They're not my thing at all but some people like them, but you definitely need information about yourself. Single guys are 10 a penny so you need to stand out from the crowd.
