Is the word 'timewaster' overused?

When we started using Fab a year and a half ago, we noticed that a lot of profiles say things like 'here to meet, too many timewasters'. Us personally have had very little problems with regards to what we consider to be blatant timewasting, so if Fab is full of timewasters we haven't really noticed. Have we just been lucky or have good judgement, or is it that others have a different definition of timewasting? I mean from some of the threads I've read, I've got the impression that some guys consider it timewasting when someone goes silent after chatting for a bit, or changes their mind about meeting someone. Don't get me wrong - I have absalutely no time for people who mess about ie cancel at the last minute or even worse don't show. Or those who lead people on with no intention of ever meeting. But has the word 'timewaster' become an insult to throw when someone doesn't get what they want? |

Never encountered a timewaster and meets have always turned up. I think there are a lot of dreamers on here that some would say are timewasters but if you ask the right questions etc you shouldn't have problems |

In a word yes
The word time waster is thrown around far to easily on here
I've been called one several times because I spoken to people I didn't want to meet |

To me a time waster is anybody who leads you on to arranging a meet when they have never had any intention's of meeting
Anything else can be excused
We all have the rights to change our mind and things crop up so sometimes cancellation happen |

Yes all the above is much what we think. Would love to hear the other view point. Does anybody think that to chat and it not go anywhere is timewasting? |

No so long as the chat isnt leading anybody on
I'll chat to anybody but I never offer or suggest meeting untill I feel I want to
The problem is some people feel just general chat is leading them on
I've spoken to some guys on here on and off for months/years and never met |

I think the great majority of 'time wasters' do not set out to be such.
I suspect that for a great number of people the idea of meeting up with people is a fantasy, this website provides an opportunity to make connections, and users may be swept away with the attention and the excitement of the possibilities this brings..
However, when they finally get to that point where it must become a reality, the nerves kick in, and they realise they perhaps aren't as brave as they've let others to believe..
So time wasters? Not always deliberately so. |

"...

This. 
I've never had a time waster. Never.
I have chatted to people and one of us has decided not to meet.
I have arranged meets then had them cancel beforehand, or I have cancelled because I had the feeling they wouldn't turn up.
I have met unverified people many times- and they turned up.
I'm very happy with how I use the site and have had some brilliant times.
I think the worst timewaster sometimes, is the person themself. |

I've been called a timewaster because...
a) I wasn't interested in them and then the classic " it's your loss" comment and general abuse about being fat or ugly or both...
b) Because I won't meet at a drop of a hat and naturally being online means I'm wanting to meet this here and now!!!
Sorry I'll remove my ranty pants and sit in the corner...  |

Nope.
My definition of a timewaster is someone who makes arrangements to meet but doesn't cancel or turn up.
Some seem to think that anyone who doesn't want to fuck them is a timewaster.
Those who won't cam or send sex messages are a timewaster.
Those who don't answer the well thought out 'Hi hows you' message is a timewaster.
I feel those that throw around the timewaster label expect wayyyy to much from all this. |

Couldn't have been said any better...i ain't a time waster but may look like it as haven't had a meet yet....the reason is the expectancy...some see you've just set up an account; as spam it seems ?? Others think without the veri' = no experience!!!!

Yes.
Some people class anyone who says no as a timewaster just because the time they spent messaging was wasted!
Saying no and blocking people, amongst other things, are also often classed as people being rude.
Some people react badly to rejection.

This, most definitely. |
