We agree. But live in hope as every now and then someone pops up that takes our fancy and things go great and we have an amazing meet. But then soon back to filtering through messages for days/weeks again  Endless cycle. But I guess that's expected with this lifestyle. |

It seems to get like this at the beginning of the summer holidays and around Christmas time..then settles down.
And from the state of the forums with all the threads about cock pics, whores and sluts....I think the outpatients arein force...  |

Less socials and months of talking to set up meets. I'm starting to think if people only log on when they can meet. It would get rid of all the time wasters. |

We love this site. Don't always get fun exactly when we want it, and we going through a slightly drier spell at the moment. But on average we do something about once a month and have built up a good circle of friends from the scene, so can't complain. We sometimes chat to people and it doesn't go anywhere, but there isn't anyone we would describe as a true time-waster. I don't doubt that there are time-wasters out there, but we don't have anything to do with them. I agree with one of the other posters - maybe think about how you select. |

It's a good point, but what if I'm not sexually attracted to the person who is available at the last minute to on the night that we want to play? |

You can tell you're attracted to someone instantly? I'd be a very disappointed person if I did that. |

"Anybody else find this site draining with all the timewasters and fakes, We used to find it fun but now it's getting a little boring. Xx"
Yep, been on here five weeks and already thinking of calling it a day tbh. We have just discovered that one who "will wait till we are free" on our friends is actually using images that are at least 6yrs old as we've just done a reverse image search on google. Others state various profile details "Single" when they are not "I have freedom to play" no they don't they are cheating (not bothered but just bloody say so!!) Ages - yeah right, "Can accommodate" no they can't! and that's just the people that are real on top of that you have all the kids, Ex's hiding behind Exgf photo profiles, why i'll never know as you can pretty much look at anything on here if you look for it as you can any type of porn on the web..
Just rapidly losing heart that there are no straight up & down honest people on here that have not told one single lie...Doesn't bode well tbh..The site could sort it out very easily but they choose to have numbers rather than genuine members..
Oh well, back to the nightclubs I guess at least you can touch them while they are lying to you |

If you're looking for a meet a month , or less , there's no excuse not to find a suitable meet .
Imagine how difficult it gets when you are looking three times a week !
We have a great circle of friends who we often meet , but also like meeting new people .
Thank goodness for Pokemon go , which has overtaken fab now ,and we couldn't give a monkeys whether people turn up now .
Up until Pokemon we did get a pissed off when those who said they would come didn't show , but never lost any sleep over it . We have each other and that's always the best anyway |

We find it time consuming and so frustrating, we've had quite a few requests to meet but most couples want girl on girl which isn't an appeal to us...we've not yet played with anyone and all we want is to watch each other with someone else as we talk about it and it really turns us on. |

it takes a while to get to be known..5 weeks is nothing, most people who meet or go to clubs are booked up weeks or sometimes months in advance..most dont meet at drop of a hat or they are already booked into going to an event or club.. if you can, get out and about more,go to a club every now and then, you will become discerning of the ones on fab who are time wasters, most of all, try and see it as fun...xx |

Personally, if anyone gets frustrated or annoyed at the site, or thinks it's a chore or ball ache to use it, the. They're approaching the site with the wrong attitude in my opinion.
Too much expectation is put on the site, lower your expectations, don't be disappointed.
It's like using jelly to turn a bolt, but now and again it actually works!

I agree with that. Most of our valued friends, as well as more memorable experiences, took place as a result of parties. Once you've built up a circle of friends you'll find you mainly use Fab to keep in contact, find out about parties, and maybe for the occasional select meet. We very rarely meet new people privately now. |

Depends what/who you are after, IF we were looking for couples we would be inundated and would have no trouble as we get several winks etc daily, but we are not..We've rapidly come to the conclusion that in general the couples are the least likely to mess you about but they are not what we want (sorry ) Even those we have kept on our friend list pretty much 50% are lying about something, just doesn't inspire us with confidence tbh. Love the we have each other because that's exactly how we feel, doesn't stop all the messing peeing you off mind..I posted happily last week about having a great threeway convo with a lady lasting a full on 14hrs it was terrific good humour banter etc..then she just disapeered for 4 days, then comes back and not a word? we were talking about a meet when what we drink etc. and now stone cold like your talking to your neighbour..Just odd to us we are Black & White - Yes/No there is no grey or maybe & this place is the Dulux factory of grey  |

It takes time to meet people, meet them again and be trusted, be recommended and be introduced to others and invited to join in. Once a circle of 'friends' is made, then finding a meet isn't difficult as you get repeats meets from trusted people who'd rather meet someone they know than a potential time waster. Everyone's time is valuable. |

Swinging for us is a great lifestyle .
We've been doing it for over five years now , and have done everything possible in that time .
Clubs , parties , home meets , outdoor fun , car meets , spontaneous and planned .
Men , women , bi , straight , tv, ts , cd , gay , unsure .
Newbies , hardened , young and old ....
Yep , probably getting on for 1500 meets now and we still get a buzz from every meet .
But we also have the ability to spot a fake or a timewaster from a distance . Yet even we get caught out now and again !

Some people want a quick meet now....others prefer to get to know someone a bit first....some of us have busy lives and have to plan ahead.
The fact that some people want to get to know the person they're thinking of fucking, and cannot drop all their work/family/social commitments at the drop of a hat does not mean they are not genuine.
Non-monogamy is in my veins, most certainly a huge part of my lifestyle...I've been in the swinging/party scene since 2003 and am no timewaster...but you generally have to book me a few weeks in advance. |

Spot on Post... But my point is that most time wasters have time to chat , cam , text daily but can't find time for a meet. There are always exceptions to this rule |

Yes and I am one. Just because I can text while at work, with my wife or with friends (they all know we are in "the lifestyle") does not mean I am available to drop that activity and meet.
I bet many others are the same. |

Truth be told, I'm finding life as a whole to be quite draining and pointless lately. I dream of the day the mother ship returns to pick me up. A quick debrief about the current state of humanity, and then I'm free to float around on the alien world where I actually belong!

My wife just reminded me she has been accused of being a time waster because she can't text much during work hours and because she does not meet at the drop of a hat. We aren't the type of swingers who do 200 meets a year. Nothing against those who do, it just isn't our style. But we ain't fakes....just busy and picky. |

I find that's very much the norm for anybody who has a partner or has kids. We've planned our play diary right up until September. |

Lots of talkers on here with no intention of playing, it's just how it is. To the OP a couple looking for only a single female is damn hard work on here, most single ladies are inundated with messages, best take a step back from the site and think about going to clubs, parties etc where you can get into real life conversations, build up a bit of a network and go from there, patience is the key, you are not in the driving seat..... |

We got ducked in when we first joined didn't realise that verification's and how long they've been on the site is the key. Also check out the people who have verified them. Your going to struggle as genuine single females who are happy to meet a couple are like gold dust lol. We use the club scene a lot. But stick it out a few more weeks on here you will of worked out how to spot fakes. The good genuine meets soon out way the fakes. |

I think you could say that of the swinging scene in general. It has evolved, and not necessarily for the better. There are certainly more fakes and cheaters about, plus more men expecting a meet at the snap of their fingers.
But there is still lots of fun to be had. |

"We have to agree. The swing scene on this site
Is like treading through a mine field and when eventually you think your on a winner. The mine explodes and your off again. Draining Draining !!!

All depends on the context of 'draining!' |

Yeah as a newbie it's not easy.
Wouldn't say draining. Some of the banter on here has had me in stitches.
However I'm not one of the all talk no show brigade.
If I arrange to meet you. You can guarantee I will be there.
After all isn't that the whole point of this site? |

Only for some it would seem, a lot just get off on the fact that people want them, some get off on the chat with no intention of ever meeting you. It's a very steep learning curve for us & sometimes a bit wearing but we are starting to recognise a type much better than when we joined..Doesn't stop us being disheartened sometimes though as one persons kicks are another's waffle, We just want a regular fwb to meet occasionally/socialise and then FCK all ways till Sunday . Not too much to ask is it? |

Yep, been on here five weeks and already thinking of calling it a day tbh. We have just discovered that one who "will wait till we are free" on our friends is actually using images that are at least 6yrs old as we've just done a reverse image search on google. Others state various profile details "Single" when they are not "I have freedom to play" no they don't they are cheating (not bothered but just bloody say so!!) Ages - yeah right, "Can accommodate" no they can't! and that's just the people that are real on top of that you have all the kids, Ex's hiding behind Exgf photo profiles, why i'll never know as you can pretty much look at anything on here if you look for it as you can any type of porn on the web..
Just rapidly losing heart that there are no straight up & down honest people on here that have not told one single lie...Doesn't bode well tbh..The site could sort it out very easily but they choose to have numbers rather than genuine members..
Oh well, back to the nightclubs I guess at least you can touch them while they are lying to you it takes a while to get to be known..5 weeks is nothing, most people who meet or go to clubs are booked up weeks or sometimes months in advance..most dont meet at drop of a hat or they are already booked into going to an event or club.. if you can, get out and about more,go to a club every now and then, you will become discerning of the ones on fab who are time wasters, most of all, try and see it as fun...xx
Yep taken on board a few days ago in a similar thread, we have been sorting our sitter for a few visits, Mingles first as we left a litre bottle of Captain Morgans there on their first social weds (very quiet but fun) We are looking at VA mid August & have signed up for the Alton Towers trip in September staying on the fri/sat somewhere close by..I think part of our problem is we are here 24/7 almost I work for myself at home, a lot of the time online so can have fab open all day & night, H only works two days a week so she can do the same on her phone..I think we just need to take a step back, clear the chaff from our fl & pick & choose more carefully who we wish to talk to..First thing is no veri, no convo..but as newbies we didn't really realise the significance of that statement.."
That's part of your problem right there, you're able to spend so much time on Fab.
The vast majority of Fabbers don't have that luxury, so of course it's hard to find people to meet.
That's why people can chat for a while then dissappear for a while. Their real lives get in the way.
If we had been chatting you'd probably class me as a time waster, I've barely logged on for the last three weeks, yesterday I was logged on virtually all day.
Today I'm on at 5am, but that will probably be it today.

I've been on fab for about 5 months now, and I've realised now that I'm verified alot of people seem to waste my time.
I don't understand why people talk to you, and as soon as you try to arrange a meet they fall off the face of the earth, then a couple days later they will wink or send you a msg as if you've never spoke before.

in the eye of the storm |
After reading through this post I recognise all the negatives listed .I for one come and go by that I mean I spend a month or so looking if a find a naughty fwb who's up for meeting regular or semi regular .I concentrate the little spare time i have on making that friendship as much fun as possible and leave my account sitting here and rarely log on .
If over that month or so I don't catch anyone's eye I leave so as I don't become disillusioned with my search because I believe if that happens it begins to show in my interactions with others as well as my post on the forum which in turn makes me less attractive which in turn lowers my chances of catching someone's eye .
This world is what it is I think the trick is to hit on a formula for using the opportunities it can offer you that works for you in my case it is to interact with this world in the way I've listed . |

No we wouldn't because I'd hazard s guess that possibly you are the same as us, If during a chat other things need to be done, kids, work etc. We say so & either say be back later or as we are available almost all the time give them option to shout up to continue..The people we chat to just disappear sort of mid conversation & make no attempt to restart it even though we see they are online, they stay on our friend list which for us at least is even more odd. It's the "Just disappearing " we find most troubling "Is it us?" "Can"t see we said anything to upset?" Etc...We are determined to get our heads round it though & we will..

I just ignore the fakes so they do not bother me ..Fake members never bother writing good profiles .

Unfortunately sometimes I dissappear at a moments notice, without an opportunity to let the people I'm chatting to know.
On the flipside I do warn them it might happen early in the conversation.
My circumstances are pretty unique though. |

People expect fun to just fall into the laps
Yes it takes time - even more for us males
It's all about connection
Yes it's hard to get a meet where everyone clicks
But it does happen - and it's all amazing - hot - sensual - when the fun happens. |

Last time I was on here took me two months for my first meet anyway, even then that was only a social meet, Was 4 months before I met someone local for a quick after work BJ heh.
Due to me working long days and nights I'm just hopeful if something turns up for a bit of fun, my aim is to get out to some adult clubs as I have never been to any before and meet a few good people in my life before I settle down In the rather long and distant future. |

"I think its what you put in, not what you want to take out that matters.... "
No doubt, We've changed a lot of our profile, Worked on the pics too, H has really worked on it more than me tbh and seeing as we have been sent friend requests by two ladies in two days it seems to be better to read, So I guess I should shut up whinging now :D |

I haven't used Fab to arrange a meet in years.
I'm just here for the forums and to find out whats happening at the clubs, that is where I meet. Much less hassle and I know that I won't be sitting around waiting for someone who has no intention of showing up. |

"It gets frustrating, but what can you do.

Yeah & watch page hits & member numbers on-line drop like a stone, therefore revenue from advertisers do likewise...I'll see a ham sandwich fly past my window before that happens unfortunately |

So how would you know that I won't waste your time by having a pic on here of me proving my gender? |

I think they all have to be now anyway !! Not that it means much tbh!!
In 9 years on sites and events
ill tell you swinging if definatley a winter sport..
The first 6 months are crazy then it dies then changes after a year
Thats cause your new n fresh in beginning and then people leave or embrace lifestyle which means they play less and are more social ..
Its definitely a roller coaster of dips and follows trends ..
Just depends how long you want to stay on the ride !! Lol |
