Block ‘fabs’

I don’t know if this is going to come across the wrong way, but is there anyway to stop your profile/photos being visible & fabbed? I have most of my images private and get a fair amount of fabs on them, however, these fabs are coming from other men & TV/TS, now I don’t have any issues with those groups I just don’t swing in that direction & would like this to stop, is the only option making ALL of my images private? Any help is appreciated!

When I say I get a fair amount of fabs I am of course speaking about my public images

You can’t control who fabs your pics.

Tbf someone fabbing your pics doesn’t mean anything other than they liked your pic. Set your message filters so they can’t contact you and stop worrying about getting looked at by M and TV/TS.

You can turn off the fab my pics option if it bothers you. But it's only on or off.

Messages you can use your filters to prevent men and TVs from reaching out if it bothers you so much 💜

I’m not “worried” about being looked at so you can stop that, the idea of someone fabbing your photo is supposed to be an indicator of interest - when your profile states that type of interest isn’t there then why bother? It just makes sifting through the profiles of who has fabbed what an absolute slog. I had to block messages from men after finding out it was a possibility cause a lot of these creeps on this site don’t understand the word no or rejection, and that most commonly comes from males and TV/TS I’ve NEVER ONCE had any issues on this site from a woman or couple.

I’m not the best at expressing my opinions but I hope you can understand what I’m saying

Yes thank you I’ve only now just figure out you can turn off fabs completely. I’ve had my message filters set for a long time I just wasn’t sure about the whole pictures side of things. I’ve turned it all off on my profile so hopefully things become a bit easier!

I’m struggling to understand how fabbing a picture is an indicator of interest.

Well, I guess no one can fab your pictures now so hopefully you’ll find peace.

Maybe stop thinking of it as an expression of interest. For some it might be, but for a large proportion of people it's simply that they like the photo.

You can of course turn off the ability for your photos to be fabbed at all.

If people are actually interested they'll message you

No, I won’t stop thinking of it that way because for me that’s what it is, and actually accounts from fabbed pictures is where I’ve started most conversations & started meeting from.. that’s the way it works for me I’m not saying anybody else has to or should abide by that.

I was thinking the same...it's just the appreciation of a picture that you find appealing, artistic, amusing etc.

OP I would just let it go. I am like you in that a lot of my fabs are from guys but I am not interested in them. Don’t overthink it.

If you think a fab is a stealth wink, it says more about how you use fabs.

Someone liked your pic and fabbed it. Move on.

That's not everyones take on it though. I have fabbed a pic just because I thought it was a lovely pic, it doesn't mean I interested in anything further.

My photos get fabbed by anyone and I don't mind because they like something within and it's a good indicator for confidence that you're not at the bottom of the barrel 🤣😂

You've the choice of getting photo Fabs from anybody or nobody. Choice is yours to do as you wish.

Messages have always had filter option, from the type of person you do and don't want contact from. Choice again

Just take them as a compliment, I've looked at couples who have fabbed mine, and liked the woman's pics, not because I swing that way, but because they are good photos sexy and I wouldn't mind a pic of me like that or wearing that. It's simple as that.

Trust me, fabbing a picture is not always an indicator of interest, that's a big assumption. I'm straight as a ruler but I see some women's pictures that just look really damn good so I "like" the picture.

Seems as if you've sorted your issue op, the tools are there to use and you've done just that.

Hope you enjoy fab going forward

Fabbing a pic is NOT an expression of interest. It is simply that they like the pic.

A wink or a message is an expression of interest.

Well love a fab, and I'm sure single guys will fab to try to get attention from singles and couples who don't accept messages from single guys, but we, and most other couples and singles who block single guys, take little notice of fabbed pics as far as interest goes.

surely in privacy settings you can turn off the option for photos being fabbed, likewise blocking men from messaging me etc etc

It’s always amusing when guys experience a small part of what it’s like to be a woman in the lifestyle and freak out slightly.

As many have said, turn off the “I think it’s fab” option on your pics and move on with your life!

It's probably too late fella, if too many men/TVs have fabbed your pics then you'll be in Dunelm shopping for soft furnishings before you know it
