When do you give up on the Fab life?
Jump to: Newest in thread
I was invited to meet with a couple on here this evening, only to arrive at the hotel bar to a WhatsApp message saying they needed to call it off. They'd given me their number and communication leading up to the meet was great. But now I'm left wondering why does this happen? And whether I should now just give up all hope of ever meeting a couple(s). Feeling down in the dumps so any advice welcomed to pick me back up again. |

At first I had no doubt that it may have been genuine. But I think they may have now blocked me on WhatsApp and they've now just deleted the last message that I sent them on here to try and find out if I did something wrong.  |

This is long shot but if you pm the ones who been here yearsssss saying I dunno but this person couple wanna meet me have you come across them on here? Maybe they can give you some info maybe? |

It's pretty humiliating having spent time getting ready, driven to the hotel, walked into the busy hotel bar and to them wall back out again after the no-show. They owe me nothing of course. But a little common courtesy and decency wouldn't have been too much to ask surely? |

Particularly if it is a couple. Not uncommon for either the woman to be reluctantly going along with it for their partner then later decides it is not for her. Or more common is that the man is excited by the fantasy of seeing his partner with someone else, but when the reality of the situation dawns on them, the green eyed monster rears its ugly head and he can’t go through with it.
Some men have even cancelled on me at the last minute, because they just couldn’t go through with it when a meeting became a reality. |

They have meet verifications on their profile so it's not as if they're new to the scene either. Plus they were sending me nice messages to reassure me that everything will be fine as they knew it was a new experience for me. |

you give up when you want to give up ... its a very very hard scene for men some will walk it most will get zero thats the nature of a scene thats so one sided so few women so few couples so many man a scene for guys that can be full of rejection and a scene where there is simply NOT someone for everyone ...
if i was a man i would not be on here full stop id be in the clubs getting to know real people in the flesh and then come on here after hopefully getting a few veris .... its simply a scene where nobody owes anybody anything .. to swing there needs to be sexual attraction and as part of a couple or playing on my own i can tell you how hard that is to find someone im sexually or mentally attracted to yep i might get 100s of messages but often not one will turn my head.... no sex on a plate on this scene  |

Had a fair few guys message me and it seems to be going great. Only for next day they've blocked me or won't reply. Guessing at the time my messages were just wank fodder.

There's endless posts here from couples and females giving it about guys not showing up.
Who are you to say he's looking for a pity fuck.
Sorry to hear you got stood up OP.
The silver lining is you did get there and they flaked. So you can do it again. |

But they did show you a little hommon courtesy by at least contacting you to cancel.
Ok it was last minute, but at least you got a message

Happened to us again tonight. At least he let us know but with a lame excuse joining previous lame excuses from others. How many times has my Mum died now, or cars exploded, or cats in trees? We come to expect being let down now on this site. |

We've had it on more than one occasion. Sometimes a courtesy message, sometimes nothing at all. Equally frustrating when you've arranged a babysitter and then spend time frantically trying to find a plan B so as not to waste an evening, before wasting said evening.
Even more frustrating when you've been let down with no courtesy message and a couple of weeks later they are messaging to ask when you're looking to meet next, as if nothing had happened. |

I'm sorry to hear that happened to you, it was unfair of them not to give you more notice.
I would just try not to take it personally, either they truly had to cancel- which can't be helped. Or they have issues between themselves which they need to solve before meeting anyone else.
Neither of these scenarios reflect poorly on you, so as tough as it is, I'd chalk it up to experience and move on to better things.  |

I noticed that thread as well, and can see the difference between both threads.
I always keep in mind an old post asking for advice, the poster got dragged over the coals, and was told when they complained that this is FAB were people can do what they wish without a care for anyones feelings or dencency.
take that as you will. |

We play at clubs - have all but once kept our appointments - that time a back injury from a train jolt ... meet at a club, if they don't turn up you have the rest of the patrons as possible play partners. x A |

Sorry to hear that’s happened to you! Unfortunately things do happen last minute but it sounds like they got cold feet and bailed with no consideration for your time 
Not all couples are like that! We’ve been let down last minute by time wasters before but we’ve also met some incredible people and those meets far outweigh the let downs. Got to take the rough with the smooth on here unfortunately.
This is why we tend to prefer clubs now! |

Probably they felt bad at letting you down so blocked you for that reason. Not your fault.
Try and feel better today. |

This. 
Always remember when shit happens on Fab that if you've done nothing to contribute to that shit, then 'it's not you, it's them' applies.
There is every chance something came up that was beyond their control, given that they did let you know. Swinging will always take a back seat to real life for us and in a situation where something in normal life crops up that needs to take priority then it will, and sex with a stranger will always come second.
If you think they have now blocked you then did you respond to them in any kind of negative way? Did you show frustration and anger in a message or imply they had wasted your time? Because if someone did that to us we'd probably do the same. Yes it's frustrating, but someone not understanding that people have lives, commitments and that sometimes things happen beyond our control would be an instant turn off and big red flag, so we'd possibly consider cutting all contact if they could accept the situation like an adult.
Would it make us leave Fab if it happened to us? Not at all. We accept that things happen and move on.

Lots of strange mentally unstable people on fab.
Even swapping face pics and numbers does not mean anything anymore.
We have been messed about alot on here.
We are very close to not meeting anymore as the effort outweighs the fun.
Our block list is longer than our hotlist now.

Great advice.... Dust yourself off and try again.. Perhaps a club might be a better starting place?
Unfortunately people are unpredictable and no doubt being on fab isn't the walk in the park that i suspect a lot of men think it will be... |
