Is honesty too much to ask for.
Jump to: Newest in thread
Just wondering what people's thoughts are. Been chatting to a guy and was going to meet however decided not to as he's clearly not been honest.
Have found out not only is he older than his profile says, he's also a heavy smoker and has a partner he didn't mention who's provided him with lots of verifications.
Am I expecting too much from this site. I mean we all list what we want-i feel it's very underhand when guys like this arrange to meet.
Thoughts anyone! |

That would frustrate me to no end.
How did you find out, if you don't mind me asking? |

Be to honest and you can get shit all over.
No idea what the correct way to do things is.
But I stay true to myself and if someone takes the piss out of that they gone forever. |

You're expecting too much. It's safest to assume that most people are economical with the truth if they want to have sex with you. They will tell you what you want to hear.
Of course loads of people are honest but you need to be able to suss which ones they are. |

Honesty is expected and you find it with most of the decent people on fab. It may take a while to establish your skill set to determine who is honest and reliable. Some things can be found out pretty quickly, such as build and age, if you do cam chats. Smoking isn't something to discover until you have met someone though.
I'd consider socials and clubs to establish a network of people who you trust and know. Beware men who will create profiles with tailored information for just you though - it really does happen. Avoid quicker meets too. |

I put my Scooby doo hat on. We all read veris and lots from same person. I looked on her profile and saw a different guy so msg him. He told me background as he's met her. He also said they have couples profile again he's lies about his age and smoking on there.
I have issue with couples who play separately but just feel to blatantly lie to get meets...surely that's not what fab is about.

So who's lying? The guy you messaged to find out these things or the guy you were going to meet? |

"You're having sex with them not employing them or marrying them, what does it matter? "
Going somewhere private, making yourself vulnerable, taking risks in terms of health (STIs) and safety (violence)... goodness, I can't imagine why trust might be important. |

Honesty is a rare commodity on some profiles. As others have said some people will put the information that they feel their target audience want to know without any care for the truth.
Go with your gut instinct. We have no time for dishonest people as if they are lying about the little things then what else are they lying about.
To answer the OP's question no honesty isn't too much to ask for but take it with a healthy dose of scepticism. |

"Guy I was going to meet- I've msg him to ask and he's blocked me so that speaks volumes "
If you use reply and quote we know who you're answering.
I think you will tie yourself up in knots chasing back through verifications and double checking on whether your potential meets are telling the truth.

If they're verified they're less likely to be a serial killer. I practice safe sex, which of course isn't 100% but it's the best we can do without abstaining, so I don't interigate them on their sexual history, I'm meeting them from a swinging/sex site so it's safe to assume they're higher risk and will ensure I practise safer sex. |

Sure. But establishing trust is important for me (and I suspect many) in ensuring safety. Along with verifications, safe sex, and other things. |

I see where you're coming from but if I was to meet someone on a night out, I wouldn't have the foggiest on their background so I view that as equal to on here. There's always a risk though. |

"Trusting a man who can cheat on his wife who he supposedly loves.
Think that says it all "
If I understand the situation, he was verified by his partner, so not cheating, just playing alone.
Still, he did misrepresent himself, as younger, non smoker, and failed to mention the partner, so still not trustworthy. |

There has to be an element of trust. 3 red flags there straight away:
Smoker or non smoker - smoking is a turn off for me.
Age- some improve with age some dont
Relationship status- personally wouldnt want to be involved with someone in a relationship. Not fair.
Yes if you meet someone on a night out then its different circumstances, spur of the moment but here where (maybe more so as a female) you can take time and be choosy then lies are going to be a massive negative. |

Do people genuinely want complete honesty or only honesty about certain things?
There's another thread in which a guy feels insulted because a couple told him he was their third choice after two other let him down. Would everyone rather that honesty wasn't used in that case? Personally I'd rather not know I was third option.
Do we really mean we require complete honesty? Is it really true that you can't trust a married person because they have lied to their partner? Do we want to hear the complete truth? |

I'm totally honest from the star of every message ... conversation I have but believe me it's not always the best policy ...,, but I will always be truefull even if it means that the person I'm chatting to either blocks or doesn't want to message me again.
I'd say 90 percent of guys on here clearly are not trueful at all |

I'd say 100% of people are not 100% truthful.
We don't tell people our exact location, date of birth, surname, where we work, exact job etc. |

"Guy I was going to meet- I've msg him to ask and he's blocked me so that speaks volumes "
"Single" males don't like being sussed out. They block you to have that last element of control.
We always presume a potential meet is being dishonest from the start. We then evaluate them based on their responses to our questions. Both being none smokers we can smell a smoker a mile off. No amount of Lynx Africa and mints can hide the stench. In fact OTT deodorant and mint is a dead giveaway. So we always ask if they'd be unhappy being turned away at the door because of their own dishonesty. You'd be surprised just how quickly they vanish and block you.
It's the FAB way we're afraid.

A large percentage of men lie on here and you have to think twice about meeting as what else could they be lying about (sti's etc) and then people come on here moaning about someone cancelling or not turning up. The reality is if you think someone is lying then you really have to think long and hard about meeting them. |

That is really bad
Not just the men though. Some Women and couples lie on here big time. Unfortunately it's just the way it is. We all come across the fibbers or game players either wasting time or phishing for info. Honesty is the best policy, but people lie about basic things... completely different age. Not talking about 2/3 years more like 8/10 years.
Height is another one! If I get to the meet stage I would always re-confirm profile stats and make it clear there has to be trust and mutual respect otherwise it won't work. Especially their status... because if they are married and cheating that is a no no!
To cover up one lie you have to lie a 1000 times! If I find out that comes natural to them... there are no second chances. |

You were right to cancel the meet. I wont hesitate to turn down people who have lied about things like health/hygeine (being a smoker), age and appearance - that’s a huge turn off and really deceitful, selfish and strange behaviour.
For example, last week I was going to meet someone who said they were 28, and had photos of them looking around that age. Then I found that same person on couples profile where their age was listed as 42 with more recent photos where they looked totally different and a lot older. Some people are nuts. |

I disagree. As Inaswingdress said, we need to do our best to ensure we are safe. Nothing is foolproof, but checking out who I plan to meet as thoroughly as I can is one of the precautions I take. |

Sign of the bad times we live in.
You just have to go with your own personal radar.

"I think if we found out that you had messaged people on our verifications to find out if we were genuine then we would block you aswell.
Absolutely , we would too .
"
Yep, disagree on this one too. If there’s something bugging me about a profile I don’t hesitate to contact someone they’ve met. If it gets weird or people get offended then we won’t meet. Again, my safety is my priority. And yes, I wouldn’t mind if someone contacted my veris. One of my criteria for the veris I display is that I know they’d give a fair report of me. |
