Joining during lockdown
Jump to: Newest in thread
Hi
I don't post much so please be gentle with me!
Has anyone else noticed that a lot of people joined Fab during the lockdowns and have been complaining that they haven't had a meet yet.
Over the past year I've received a lot of messages asking to meet and I find that if I reply politely saying that I'm not meeting due to lockdown I get abuse and get told it's just flu/only affects vulnerable people/is a government scam etc. I've had COVID and am suffering a bit with long COVID so the abuse really gets to me |

"Yep we've had all this. We have been verified in retrospect by people we knew from before when rejoining and been called phoney timewasters etc etc "
Thanks for checking out my profile. Pity you're so far away |

By purely looking at the staus of some bios, meets are already happening and are actively being sought. I'm not meeting until i've had my 2nd jab and even after that i will see how the world is around me. I get that it is frustrating but if there are further social consequences by returning to 'normal' then those people will know if they have knowingly contributed to that or not. However as soon as i reply to a (rare) message to say i am not meeting yet, the conversation goes quiet...... |

I have my 2nd jab next week but am still going to be cautious for a while. Plus I'm a key worker so don't want to put colleagues or cons at risk |

If you delete 'Men' off your Looking For list it takes you off the searches. X
Many people are looking for meets. Your profile says you are looking for men.
Report abuse.
I have had loads of 'meet me mow' messages and shite for saying no. |

I joined during the lockdown to be prepared and chat with potentials. It’s not be successful as fabs were not really into the mood to chat really. But I never asked someone to meet up straight away unless it’s been written onto their status.
I had my two vaccines and get checked twice weekly so I know I am safe. But maybe not the other party.
I think if some men here don’t take health issue seriously enough then who knows what they would do during a meeting?
You are right not to get involved with them, they don’t sound like respectful to me.

I do find the whole thing rather strange, last Sunday for example, I went to a local car boot sale with probably about 1000 people at it hardly any masks at all, totally legal. But seven people on the same table is dangerous. The rules are a mess. |

Well 7 swingers at the same table could be a mess too  |

It's another tool to help filter out the people who are not compatible.
It can be useful to apply message filters, if you find it's too much hassle, compared to any potential for getting to know new people |

Yeah! We joined during lockdown (great timing) and from day one said nothing is happening for quite a while. Most people have been decent about it to be fair, whether they agree with us or not. |

We've never had a problem.
To be fair we just delete folks who don't read our profile in full, that's about 95% of single guys and 75% of couples.
The others, we reply to and meet loads but not at present but happy to do so when all parties are ready
No issues, no drama.  |

"Nope can't say I have seen people complaining the haven't had a meet since joining in lockdown."
You haven't seen other threads when folk have posted this Omg about being unsuccessful since joining in this pandemic |

I joined in lockdown with no assumptions to meet and was looking for chats more than anything, haven’t had many up to now but those that I have spoken with haven’t been asking to meet, not that I’m meeting |

Yeah I’ve had loads over the last year. The majority of which haven’t read my profile and from my old area. Quite a few have been pissy about it actually. One even told me I was just another fake slag up her own arse. Some are
Regular Prince Charmings. I normally just don’t reply now and put a note on their profile in se they try again |

"I've noticed quite a lot joining then disappear and sometimes they re-appear ,what's annoying is when u get talking to them then they go away "
This is my pet hate  Chatting nicely then the person fucks off without any notice and pops back expecting you to remember them |

maybe they don’t remember you, maybe they changed their mind, maybe they have reassessed what kind of meets they are looking for, maybe they were just making polite conversation
nobody owes you a meet or anything else because you exchanged a few messages |

OP - yes we have. It's almost like they're oblivious to what's been going on since March last year. Either that or they're so desperate they've become deluded about the realities of sites like this - the ratio of males to females and the likelihood of them getting a meeting even before Covid struck, let alone during a lockdown.

Same, anyone who's been meeting or trying to meet during lockdown, isn't going to meet me. |
