"I wonder is it just me? Or do others find the number of updates on people's profiles looking for a meet getting a bit disturbing? It seems to me most of FAB are now ignoring the covid rules.. Actively looking for sex sometimes unprotected sex too.Seruously! Struggled a lot with lockdown at the start psychologically and done what I have been told to do all the time .. Keeping me safe and those around me safe I thought was responsible . I hardly ever leave the house now . However, It made me feel more safe and secure seeing people correctly following rules when I did venture to the shops. This week particularly it seems to me people aren't caring anymore! Arguably people can do what they want and take the risk if it doesn't harm anyone else .. The thing is.. It does! Frankly all this behaviour is doing is pushing my paranoia as far up the scale as it can go! Its becoming difficult to accept that now potentially more adults are not as safe as they should at times be.So when lockdown is lifted these people wont be safe to meet at all! Other peoples irresponsibility is pushing my own perceived future enjoyment if the site far to much in the wrong direction And all anyone has to do is just wait a little while more.. So we all stay at the same level.. Yet cant? Or probably won't! *shrugs " if you dont like it dont do it.. im getting on now cant hide forever... got to live with it as the big man said | |||

"As the big man said you now have to start to think for yourself.. if your in a vulnerable state of health then you would be advised to observe distancing, masks, reducing the amount of going out contact with other people etc. But for many the psychological effect of continued lockdown could be more damaging than covid. So yes people are starting to interact and meet folks. It's down to everyone individually deciding on the risks they want to take.. same as some wanting unprotected sex with strangers..they are prepared to take the risks, but know they could suffer a long term consequence for a few minutes pleasure." Some reasonable points. However, I will say I am thinking for myself. Hence my original post. Fact is this situation now is not unlike meeting a dirty prostitute everyone knows has the clap but are happy to run the risk.. Seems very foolish to me. | |||

"It’s time to get on with life and whatever that means to each individual. We all make our own risk assessment nowadays. Example that person looking for a meet, for all you know, be working from home, no interaction with another individual during the day for two weeks prior to meeting someone for sex, then return to their same routine. Everyone’s circumstances is different, it’s time people stopped judging and worrying what others are up to and just got on with their own. " I see that but in a personal level don't feel as confident as a lot of people. Thats all Im saying and wondering why people don't just follow rules *shrugs | |||

"I followed the rules for almost 18mths. I've had both vaccinations and get covid tested 2-3 times a week at work. I wear a mask at work and in public. If I want to meet a couple of people who are also double jabbed and who regularly Covid test that's my choice" No one said it isnt?. Thats not entirely my point. Im referring more to the aftermath of that approach to decision making. | |||

"I’ve been very cautious through lockdown. I’ve stuck to the rules, been strict with a bubble, not seen friends, been vaccinated and was starting to feel slightly more positive about things opening up. I went to Birmingham this weekend for a night out and caught Covid from a friend. Don’t want to go out again now. It’s changed my plans because I don’t want to go anywhere busy. " This is entirely my point.. We are not safe at the moment.. Yet people seem to think we are. Today I believe infection rate is now up by 50%..yet people are being told to just risk it.. Which I think is wrong. Also bad luck on catching Covid but even without that you can see why some people are frightened to start venturing out again just yet.. Hope you recover quickly | |||

"Sadly I think the behaviour of Matt Hancock and the failure of the PM to instantly condemn his rule breaking has made a laughing stock of Covid rules. If everyone had managed to stick to one partner through lockdown and got tested before meeting anyone else then risk of STDs getting passed on would be minimal . " Absolutely the continued lies and hypocrisy by this government don't / didn't help thats for sure.. We have to hope that this SS of a government don't survive for much longer And yes.. Before anyone pipes up I DO believe others could have managed things over the last few years much better | |||

You do what feels best for you, small steps but at the same time others want to go at it full force and experience life again. Covid is here for a very long time and we will all learn to live with it in our own way. Personally I’m going to make the most of the next two months catching up with friends and family, enjoying life, as I may have no choice but to seal myself away again soon. | |||

We probably may as well have already ended the last few restrictions. If the behaviour troubles you that much OP, it may be better to take a break. Things are going in 1 direction and that is towards excessive infections nationally in general life and fab life will probably mirror it. For now, do the right thing for you and others. " Absolutely agree with you.. The future for casual hookups looks frought with problems as far as health and mental health is concerned. Im not in any rush to tempt fate one bit. | |||

"Maybe mind your own business and let the people live their lives? " Always a wag out there *shrugs Maybe learn to understand and appreciate the fine and ancient skill / art of debate and discussion? Also to be intelligent enough to know the 'thrust an parry' only works well when you have something intelligent to 'thrust' against! Pointless engaging without it! | |||

"I'm fairly sure that the change of rules on the 17th of May made it "ok" to hookup for casual sex. Allowing people from different households to meet inside effectively allows meets to happen. Cal" Interesting.. I would say that it depends on interpretation. I would be willing to lay quite a big wager on the government not wanting people to meet for anything other than a catchup, cuppa and a chat.. However, also fully happy to lay the same bet on the fact that a bit more than that would happen! | |||

"As the big man said you now have to start to think for yourself.. if your in a vulnerable state of health then you would be advised to observe distancing, masks, reducing the amount of going out contact with other people etc. But for many the psychological effect of continued lockdown could be more damaging than covid. So yes people are starting to interact and meet folks. It's down to everyone individually deciding on the risks they want to take.. same as some wanting unprotected sex with strangers..they are prepared to take the risks, but know they could suffer a long term consequence for a few minutes pleasure. Some reasonable points. However, I will say I am thinking for myself. Hence my original post. Fact is this situation now is not unlike meeting a dirty prostitute everyone knows has the clap but are happy to run the risk.. Seems very foolish to me. " The clap is probably more dangerous and contagious than covid | |||

It is also when FAB re-enabled the meets function on the site, which would suggest that their legal advisor thought the same. Cal | |||

"Yes it’s you, and unfortunately there are others like you Life is for living , not existing " You need to really need to do both. It is understanding that some people are very nervous about the risks involved in opening up, especially if they have seen the effects of the virus first hand. With the current upwards trend in cases, it is obvious that the government has decided that they are ready to accept the current risk level, but then it isn't their own health they are risking. Personally, I am happy to be opening up... but still slightly concerned that we COULD easily end up back at square one. Cal | |||

"Well I’d be off the list ... no jabs here and not intending any ... think some people have been brainwashed into thinking it’s deadly out there .... quite sad really . I’ve worked all through in mental health with drug users too ... not a sniffle here " I think that it has been well and truly that the virus is deadly, disputing that is like disputing that the sea is wet. I too have worked through the entire time surrounded by the great unwashed. Although I have been totally fine, I have seen the effects on various teachers and student at the school. One teacher who is 2 years younger than me contracted the virus in March is still struggling with climbing two flights of stairs. I also have seen the deaths of SEVEN people who I personally know, directly as a result of covid. Yes they were people who had underlying health issues, but when "underlying health issues" includes Asthma, Diabetes, COPD, or just being over-weight, half of the adult population have "underlying Health Issues". I personally (like yourself), am not concerned about contracting it myself, but I do find it difficult to ignore the real evidence I have witnessed. Cal | |||

"I think the OPs statement he rarely leaves the house now is concerning. Judging by these forums there are a lot of other people who also seem terrified to the degree they don’t want to go out. I’m presuming from his advanced age he has had both jabs. The statistical odds off dieing or even getting seriously even if he did catch it are so minute I just don’t understand this fear. Don’t waste your life in fear of something that in all probability won’t happen. Otherwise what’s the point of being alive in the first place. " | |||

Yet some vulnerable people who have genuine concerns about a virus that's killed as many as it has thus far is because of 'brainwashing'.. Really? The latter issue is as real as the first two, to downplay it seems a tad bizarre given your background.. | |||

"Your allowed 6 people to meet indoors with no distancing and no masks. People that are meeting off here for 1:1 are sticking to the rules. I appreciate there is such a fine line between “get on with life” and do everything we can to protect our vulnerable. But you can’t knock people who think it’s safe enough to meet when in actual fact they are sticking to the rules. " That's the part I really don't get? OP acts like people are breaking rules but meeting up for Sex has been allowed since May 17th by the goverment, hence all the meet sections opening back up. One thing that's truly sad about this pandemic is its left many people with such deep rooted fear that they have battened down the hatches, become prisioners of thier own homes. In an effort to wait out the perceived apocalypse they have stopped living. I've seen the most extrovert people who pre covid travelled the world, were the life and soul of any party now become broken shells of thier former selves. I fear its going to takes many years to reverse a lot of the mental damage that these last 16 months have caused. KJ | |||

So no hand gun and not defensive, literally answered exactly what you said... people are meeting and it’s in line with guidance which you said wasn’t | |||

Just because people are meeting, in line with guidance, doesn’t mean they don’t care and aren’t sticking to the rules- all of which you say in your original post. I appreciate some are more nervous than others, some haven’t cared the entire time either. People can only do what is right for them. | |||

"Sadly I think the behaviour of Matt Hancock and the failure of the PM to instantly condemn his rule breaking has made a laughing stock of Covid rules. " From Boris buggering off to his holiday home through Cummings going to Barnard Castle to test his eyes up to Matt Hancock boffing his aide there has been one rule for us and none for them. I work at two sites where the residents have no idea of the concept of social distancing, pick cigarette butts up off the street, share needles etc. and you know what? None of them have caught covid. Pardon me if I don't worry about it too much. | |||

"You do your thing and let others do theirs" Sorry.. Where have I said people cant do their own thing? I said I was concerned for myself and my post refers to how I feel. That suggests it does not mean I was restricting anyone from doing their thing . Why don't people understand written English these days ?. | |||

"If anyone is still worried about the situation they are aloud to stay home as much as possible, avoid contact with others and wear masks. However the rest of us are free to do whatever the hell we want to as consenting adults so let us get on with it no one is being forced to go out or meet " And frankly if you bothered to read my post fully you would see I haven't actually told anyone to stop meeting? Particularly after lockdown ends.. I was referring to myself and my situation not ordering people to change theirs.. | |||

"I wonder is it just me? Or do others find the number of updates on people's profiles looking for a meet getting a bit disturbing? It seems to me most of FAB are now ignoring the covid rules.. Actively looking for sex sometimes unprotected sex too.Seruously! Struggled a lot with lockdown at the start psychologically and done what I have been told to do all the time .. Keeping me safe and those around me safe I thought was responsible . I hardly ever leave the house now . However, It made me feel more safe and secure seeing people correctly following rules when I did venture to the shops. This week particularly it seems to me people aren't caring anymore! Arguably people can do what they want and take the risk if it doesn't harm anyone else .. The thing is.. It does! Frankly all this behaviour is doing is pushing my paranoia as far up the scale as it can go! Its becoming difficult to accept that now potentially more adults are not as safe as they should at times be.So when lockdown is lifted these people wont be safe to meet at all! Other peoples irresponsibility is pushing my own perceived future enjoyment if the site far to much in the wrong direction And all anyone has to do is just wait a little while more.. So we all stay at the same level.. Yet cant? Or probably won't! *shrugs Let's be real. Your mad about people meeting because you only have cam verifications. Oh, and people have been having sex au natural for thousands of years. You make it sound like it the worst thing in the world" Further 'Au naturel' sex is just a bit unwise. Those of us who remember Aids will probably be able to put you straight on that.. Natural it may be, done for centuries it may be though condoms of one sort or another have been used for thousands of years .. Risky as hell it definitely is not to wear one ! Pretty naive of an 'educated' man to not think so! | |||

"... Oh, and people have been having sex au natural for thousands of years. You make it sound like it the worst thing in the world" Anyone who thinks that only married and/or cohabiting couples have been having sex during the lock down is living in cloud cuckoo land. Sex is probably the strongest driver in life other than eating for huge numbers of people. Fact of life. | |||

"Respectfully.....depression is often about "me" how I feel etc,try to not let your emotions rule you, I'd say definitely come of here and avoid news and social media for a while " I second this! Sometimes it's a case of removing that which causes you stress until you're mentally strong enough to cope with it. | |||

There is also over 18 months of data, which is good long term data. Realistically, there is much more "scaremongering" from campaigns to persuade people not to be vaccinated. | |||

"Other peoples irresponsibility is pushing my own perceived future enjoyment.. to much in the wrong direction" This is pure self-entitlement to the extreme. If you are being serious and not just looking for attention then a decent hiatus from the internet might be in order." You are doing it again! My post was about me and my thoughts .. ' concerned about me not you! My health my welfare and my life.. I was musing things over and opening a debate about how other people might be feeling by telling people how I was feeling about now and my future staying around the scene. One I have been around in one form or another for almost 30 years by the way! So ignore what you thibk the veris tell you. I was not looking for advice or instruction either come to that ! Though sometimes sharing good ideas helps everyone. Sadly, too many people viewed my post as me telling them what to do. I clearly stated that was not the case. Some people did not read that they assumed I was attacking people's freedoms. Which I was not.. Just questioning what was sensible or not and commenting in human behaviour . As far as 'entitled' goes? I'm sorry but I'm from a generation who never really thought it was wrong that when someone spoke their mind or said something that people might disagree with? It appears you are denying me that right? The only ' entitlement' I do know is the one to free speech.. Which I excercise regularly without fear. I do so in real life too not only online btw! A 'hiatus' from real life? I think not! That said based on your direct attack approach to someone throwing out some of their ideas on a public forum ? 'pot and kettle' springs to mind! Finally that kid who asked about the homework? Did you and your mates try to bully him as well? I hope he fought back.. Because I always have.. And will! And finally, finally.. My point is made and I'm not going to keep explaining myself to you or anyone else anymore .. So to use a younger persons approach in the correct context ' I'm done' | |||

The last 18 months has been hard for many of us, for some it's been horrendously bad.. Let's just be kind eh.. We do have that in us I know.." He said he followed the rules and that is what others are doing. The rules say you can now meet other people for sex. Why is this wrong? Haven't read the ehole thread to see any digging out but I think we've all struggled in our own way with one lockdown or another but yo be challenged when you're not doing anything wrong isn't nice. | |||

" Yep I am with you on this. We've been with life on hold for so long I actually feel a little perturbed by those objecting when I'm doing something that isn't breaking any rules. I feel some people want restrictions forever. | |||

"It’s time to get on with life and whatever that means to each individual. We all make our own risk assessment nowadays. Example that person looking for a meet, for all you know, be working from home, no interaction with another individual during the day for two weeks prior to meeting someone for sex, then return to their same routine. Everyone’s circumstances is different, it’s time people stopped judging and worrying what others are up to and just got on with their own. I see that but in a personal level don't feel as confident as a lot of people. Thats all Im saying and wondering why people don't just follow rules *shrugs " "why people don't just follow rules" try a guess or two | |||
