I've had some great chats with people via Fab over my time here, but have noticed an increasing number of people stating that they don't enjoy chatting.
Each to their own, obviously - but for me the ability to communicate - intelligently, politely and / or playfully - via messages here or WhatsApp etc - is vital to building a rapport before deciding to take things forward to a meet (or not!). I love a good chat 
I'd be really interested to hear others thoughts or view on the subject? |

"I fucking love a good conversation. Mostly, if that can't be achieved over here, then I'm never going to meet someone.
This!  "
Also this!
I'd love just to get a conversation going but it seems oddly difficult on this site. |

This is the same with any online dating etc. very few seem interested in getting to know someone. I’ve never understood this mentality. How can you build up to a meet if you don't want to talk. I remember agreeing a meet with someone then she said she was uncomfortable giving out her phone number. I said how do you propose we meet then and never heard another word. Weird |

That's why we love socials, clubs, parties, holidays, weekends away and any other excuse to meet like minded folks.
It's why we use verifications, over 12 months on FAB, no verifications, then probably not going to meet in the real world, so won't be for us.
Don't care about your job, your politics, your religion.
Can you string a sentence together, are you friendly, open, chatty, smile, laugh a lot and look for the good rather than the negative.
Then you are our type of people. |

I need to know someone personally to be attracted to them, physical attraction isn't enough for me and my perception of attraction alter hugely once having a conversation, but at the same time I struggle hugely with small talk online, I find it hard to gauge, I find it much easier in person.

Sorry, I'm in a silly mood.
Yes I think the art of conversation is being lost in general, due to the fact that a lot of people have been programmed into losing focus. The introduction of viral videos, texting etc.
It's nice when you can click with someone and be able to get to know someones story, what makes that persons character.
It's more difficult to maintain converstaion via typing as when you look at someone directly, you have more of a connection but, even that seems to be a lost art.
See how many people actualy loo at you when you are having a conversation in real life. |

Hey! I’ve been here over a year without verifications haha. I set it up years ago, met one person then ditched it for a couple of years before coming back. Maybe I’d have more luck setting up a new profile if that’s the way people look at it. |

Wholeheartedly agree.
Sex always starts in my head. If you can't engage me there, you can't engage me.
I get that some people find this type of platform difficult and converse better in person. I also get that some people just want to hook up. I'm not judging on either count but building a rapport here is necessary for me |

Thanks for the responses
I'm a big believer in an initial chat providing the spark that leads to actually meeting. Endless online / WhatsApp backwards and forwards aren't my goal either really! |

Hahaha. I'm sure you are lovely and I think your response proves it. Funny, no nasty snipe and engaging.
Good luck with all the future meets and fun. |

Certainly a lot of profiles state that they want to meet in person first before getting down to business to see if there's a spark or attraction but how do they expect that meet to take place if they don't engage in a little chat beforehand to see if its worthwhile meeting? |

I definitely need to chat to someone.
If they're witty, interesting and intelligent then they've just become a potential for a social.
People who repeat themselves and don't offer much beyond the 'I want to fuck' get the message when I stop replying...some don't unfortunately and I'm sorry to say I just delete or even worse...block   |

"Normally chat means, send nudes, go on cam, or send face pics"
Interesting! Not how I term it but understand that others may have had a different experience ... |

Agree with you. But also accept others have their own wants and needs. I like a chat and getting to know people a bit better as things progress. A silent fuck is not satsfying. |

Wish Fab had a phone call function you could opt into with someone.
I love chatting in person or on phone but find text chat conversations really hard to start and keep going for some reason |

We get bored with ping-pong messages and small talk, so it tends to fizzle out after a while. Would rather meet in person and see if there's chemistry there.

"I am always happy to chat, but not if it's just some wank session!

Thanks, when people turn nasty it just proves the person who rejected them right. It’s the old cheesy “always be yourself”. I stick to the same approach and when it works, that’s someone I’m likely to get along with… I hope. But on topic, I think good conversation is rare in all walks of life now. Quite sad really. |
