"time wasters? - goes with the territory I'm afraid. just grin and bear it  "
No it doesnt go with the territory. We've never had our time wasted and I know there's plenty others on here the same so your statement is bullshit |

Actually it's not, a lot of us have had no shows, last minute cancellations or the wall of silence before meeting as arranged. Perhaps you like to share your selection process with us as we clearly need some pointers x |

If I had more fingers and toes I would be racking up the time I’ve had wasted for me. Countless messages chatting organising a meet. A couple of texts to confirm. Hours to get ready and prepare and then left standing with no contact , blocked profile and sweet all else communication. Anyone who says they have never had thier time wasted is lying. |

"Some of us wouldn't dream or wasting anyone's time....
It's just common decency which is a tad lacking these days..."
I think you are right with this comment. A simple sorry can't make it would be so much better. |

I would agree... but people just like to throw out the word "time waster" and see what sticks....
so first of all... define "timewaster"?
then we get to notice... how long is long enough... 30 minutes? an hour? 2 hours?
say if you car breaks down? your kids are sick? unexpected visitors? ect ect ect....
and then whether you like it or now there is selection process...
do you talk to people on the phone, did you get an address to go to ect ect ect.... all sorts of common sense things that seem to go out the window when people think with their nether regions rather than their brains.....
if it seems too good to be true... it normally is! |

Just pointing out it says that the male half of this profile meets alone and tbh if I thought I was talking to a couple and it turned out it was just the male I'd probably be called a waster by OP after blocking |

"Why is it so hard to get meets on here were a real couple but get pissed of with the wasters "

I've never had my time wasted!
I do club meets now but prior to that, I always met socially first, no exceptions. My social meets were arranged during my lunch hour near my office in an eaterie I would be anyway or the coffee shop in the station after work where I'd be heading home anyway.
100% meet rate: there are some I wish hadn't turned up: but that's another story. Play meets I'd book a flexi day to sort my wardrobe/work from home etc so my time wasn't wasted should they not show. I've had meets I have had no desire to repeat etc...but again 100% turned up.
I trust it makes it easier for you to cope calling those of us who haven't had their time wasted liars. |

Perhaps my idea of wasted time is different. Hence my original question.
I've chatted to lots of people and sometimes mentioned meeting but then we haven't. I don't see that as time wasting.
I've met lots of people both as a single and a couple and in 8 years, I have never been stood up. People have cancelled, or I have cancelled but always in advance of the day. |

I think people do have different interpretations of time wasting. I could be doing something productive, like emptying the cat tray instead of posting on Fab.  |

Cat tray sounds good. |

The Mrs does the chatting. She chats for a good while and only meets when she thinks they are brand new, easy going and a good laugh. She never does sex chat or talks about our likes or dislikes or how the meet will go. She goes on like she's chatting to her pal. Most of the time she doesn't even view their profile and doesn't mind the "hows you" messages. Works a treat as every meet has been spot on. Think too much emphasis is focused on the profiles and opening messages on here as that's all I hear about on the forums |

Uh, eh, What!
There's a long history on here of 'time wasters, just do a search for the threads, it littered with examples. Also the 'best excuses not meet' threads, some belters I there. |

"I was due to meet somebody at half 6. After messages for days and messages up until 6.02pm when they suddenly went quiet..
Is that considered a waster?  "
I would say yes to that, has also happened to me a few times but I can actually see it coming now! |

Define time waster, yes we get plenty of people who message us and we chat but never get to the point of arranging a meet plus the odd cancellation with plenty of notice and plausible reason but we don't consider those as time wasting as we would have been on fab anyway. We have never had a no show. |

Can't agree. We met on here 7 years ago as singles. Had a few couples profiles since. Without doubt, the number of fake profiles, bullshitters, chatters etc. has increased to the point where we, too, are considering deleting for good. Many of our attractive friends from past meets have left for the same reason. Fab is not a patch on what it once was, so have to agree with the OP |

just noticed the couple we were responding to only meet single males - so fully understandable that they don't suffer from timewasters i.e. thousands of single fellas seeking meets.
You will find a huge difference when trying to meet couples or single fems. Lots of couples profiles are now single men - wasters
Lots of women on here just to chat - maybe not wasters but certainly not swingers - |

How do you explain the single women looking to meet single men who experience time wasters then? |

The petrol money doesn't bother me.its the feeling of being made to look a fool.the nervous barrier that you have to conquer to go there.getting ready and all dressed up.telling my bf im seeing her tonight when I could of been with him.
No one should lie and make someone look stupid when they have done nothing to deserve that x |

Being new here, and after reading about other folks expeiences with timewasters, I expected that there would be time when after arrangements had been made that a meet wouldnt take place for some reason.
So far I have arranged 2 meets and both of them had veris. One had 3 and the other 9. When I was due to meet the one with 3 I got a phone call while I was at the meet venue to say sorry but its off as the wife's cold had got worse and she was confined to bed. Fair enough because I had actually spoken to her the previous day on the lhone and she sounded dreadful then. Hey ho home I went disappointed but not downhearted.
Time came to meet the other people. I went to the meet venue some 120 miles from home. Waited and waited and and hour after the appointed time and still no show I phoned to find out where they were. Answer still at home and not coming out to meet now. I asked why and they said because I had no veris, I'm single (divorced) and bi. Whoa!! Hang on a minute I said, I told them they knew all that anyway as we had discussed over the phone. They had said no veris wasnt a problem previously and now it was. Plus theyd thought again about my being single. What difference that made I dont know. To say I was angry puts it mildly, especially when I had travelled all that way and the venue was less then 5 miles from their home.
So I had an overnight stay at the hotel we had booked and went home next day still feeling very pissed off. Still awaiting that first elusive meet. With a bit of luck it might be one with the couple who the lady was poorly. At least they were genuine and did the right thing in letting me know the situation. Unless anyone here wants to step in first that is ???? |
