Who else gets fed up with this. Have learnt not to bother with certain profiles now but still get frustrated when you get chatting with someone, who is verified and been here a while only to get blocked when everything is going too well |

There are a lot of fake profiles you just have to look for the warning signs firstly it’s surprising how many guys of couples suddenly holiday alone no I don’t want to meet just you it’s not my dynamic, and an instant red flag is tell me what you want to do to my wife stinks of bloke sat wanking at what’s being said
It’s a case of being patient watching for red flags if you loose a good one through being cautious oh well shit happens |

"Maybe they're real and it's just something that's been said?
Just because someone changes their mind it doesn't mean they're not real. 🤷♂️"
Indeed. Nor that they're time wasters.
It can take a little while sometimes to realise you're not compatible |

I've only come across a handful of fake profiles and what you describe isn't time wasting.
Time wasting to me is arranging a mert and not turning up, otherwise it simply deciding you're not for them. |

It obviously wasn’t going well for them. Reflect on what you say and how you say it and when in the conversation you say it. Still, it might have been them not you, so don’t sweat it. |

Sometimes it can be the smallest thing that can give people the ick after feeling some sort of connection. I’ve had guys totally ghost me, even after a social where they message you later that night, exclaiming they lust for me etc etc it was the best. I presume it’s just easy way out than giving a honest explanation as to why there’s no longer any interest. 💋💋💋 ladies and men that are married and they’re spouse is unaware of they’re account also come on here for some attention that’s not at home. Then once received they disappear. |

Lost count the times ive been blocked when seemingly been getting along chating im never rude,pushy or disrespectful so why only they know,dont let it worry me now just move on.
Like been said look for the red flags if things sound to good to be true it probably is. Personally now give anyone who asks for site supporter help(ie code) a wide berth been caught out by that before. |

Not having a go at you, but what you think of as "going too well" might be you moved the conversation to something that your chat partner did not like and are also thinking that you are the time waster. Its impossible to know, just don't dwell on it, move on and keep chatting, eventually you find the right person for you |

Apparently according to other threads there are no fakes or timewasters  . Be aware that some profiles have fake verifications and get off on chatting, especially sexy chatting. Following the verification trail may help to see if they're real. Some of the profiles may be real and put off by you, some may be a Man wanting some sexy chat. |

So your definition of a fake and a timewaster is someone who decides the chat isn't going well for them and blocks you?
We all have choices, we shouldn't have to carry on speaking to people we don't want to. |

To us a timewaster is someone who arranges to meet and doesn't show, with no excuse.
TBF only ever happened to us once.
A fake profile is just that, a fake,but they still may chat but would never meet as they would be shown for what they are.
Always found verifications to be a good test for actually showing up, never, ever had a no show from a verified member, and the verifications must be face to face not webcam.
Just because someone doesn't want to carry on chatting or blocks you, doesn't make them a fake or timewaster, they've just got fed up with you for whatever reason, and that's fine.  |

I think it’s way worse when you get someone come to you asking to meet with them for threesomes and then you find the women for it to happen and they just bad mouth you to the female so they will meet them alone. Could give out a name or two for people to avoid but you are not allowed to name and shame people here  |

"...but still want to email."
That's a red flag there straight away. 🚩
Scammers almost always ask for email, or send you theirs without asking. It's very common. Have to hand it to them, though. Still trying after all these years. That's dedication right there lol.
Makes me wonder who actually uses email to casually chat these days? Scammers, that's who. 😆
There are tons of apps (some don't use your phone number either) and a fully-functional messaging system here. But hey, they will keep trying their luck. |

The very nature of fab means that regardless of veris or profile age there’s a huge number of fakers out there.
Reverse image search, sounding too good to be true, unable to phone veri etc are all warning signs but at the end of the day leave them to it… just shrug and move on.
I’ve always found decent meets occur with a minimum of fuss or requirements… if things are becoming overly complex in conversation it probably means they are not worth the effort, if Sharon who’s fit as fuck suddenly stops messaging it’s likely the Dave, the man behind the profile has completed his wank… a brief reverse image search will show you the original photo that’s had a head cropped off is some lass of a Russian wives website.
Report the profiles if you rumble them, once in a blue moon admins do block them but don’t loose too much energy on it x

Agree, the more fuss and messages at the beginning tends to mean a cancellation later on.
A few messages, quick chat on phone, usually a winner.
Multiple emails, she can't come to the phone right now, just nipped to her mums, or shops or in toilet, but while you're on the phone Liz what do you like to get up to.
Best cut and run, chalk it up to experience. |

Spotted a couple of fake profiles (usually the ones that try to friend request us after one message)
But mostly its been time wasters. Women saying they are really down to meeting, messaging for a couple of days on here or WhatsApp then just stop talking before the arranged meet. I don’t mind people changing their mind, but have the decency and respect to tell people. |

"Best thing i ever did was stop using Fab for meets and start going to clubs and social events instead. "
Yep, anything else is a total waste of time when I could be doing something more worthwhile and that's likely to be productive. Actually being seen by - and getting to know - people in person is SO much more worthwhile and productive/successful. I'm amazed at the fact that any men bother messaging any more. No bitterness whatsoever, but it's an utterly pointless exercise. Fully appreciate women put up with some horrible stuff being sent to them, but no man worth his salt wants to be lost in a sea of that. Clubs/socials are absolutely the way forward. |

To be fair lots of messages may mean someone WANTS to show how genuine they are. I'm always happy to chat for as long (or as little) as it takes for someone to feel comfortable enough to want to arrange to meet.
Fully appreciate some 'chatters' are just getting off on the chat potentially though. |

If you're not expecting most initial chats to reach a dead end, potentially including blocking, it sounds unrealistic.
Most people are not mutually compatible. Once realised that you're not, they'll charge course |
