Fabswingers - advice please

[heartlikepaper]

hey all
just looking for advice from people who have used the site to meet people rather than the parties as there is none at the moment.
Im a single woman, new to the NSA scene - what should I look out for, any advice to get the best out of it in a safe way.

@AverageGuy I completely agree .
I go through phases of blocking men because I get fed up with the entitlement of some men which is more similar to normal dating sites .
I m finding a lot of men aren’t single and just want quick easy sex which is not what I m interested in either .
I m trying to get a regular FWB who is honest and not too demanding but quite difficult these days

@Explorer233 - I'm also looking for a FWB PM me? [Grin], but I'll be too old, ugly & far away to be of any interest to you. [Sad]

I'm not sure Fab is the best place to look. If it's a real swinger, they may not want a fwb. In the last few years,I've had two fwb, both found on "normal" dating apps - go figure.

Waves to @BatshitCrazyWoman Glad things are still going strong!

I've just picked up the OP's update to this and love it!

Since the thread has been revived, and FWIW, here's my own take for anyone curious about Fab and FWB, I have had a great experience so far after having posted on Fab for a FWB a few months ago. I was clear about what I wanted and didn't want in my bio, uber-selective, never had any public pics and didn't send any explicit ones privately, turned off my profile most of the time (to manage the deluge of speculative opportunists and dick pics), scrupulously filtered down through chat. Met a handful of guys for a social meet, only to check them out and see if there was a connection. I now currently have two FWBs, each on excellent mutually respectful basis (only meet each one very occasionally). I don't want anything more serious with either and know they don't either. My fab profile has been switched off since connecting with them but if things change I'd be very comfortable about going live on fab again for the same search.

Agree with some that FabSwing is for swinging rather than finding a regular FWB, but I'm living in hope...;-)

@IsntItIronicDontchaThink thats interesting
I would have thought you d get little interest without any public pics though ?
if you hide your profile how can people see who you are ?
@AverageGuy Oh I see what area are you located lol ?
i have managed FWB before off Fab I can’t be bothered with the usual crap you get on dating sites more people are upfront on Fab I have found anyway

I've had a couple of relationship via fab. Although, I'm not on fab because of finding someone for pleasure necessarily. I've just found men that I enjoyed chatting to whilst posting, met them and gone from there.

There are some men who aren't in charge of their own testosterone, but there are some lovely diamonds.
I think swinging is probably only a small percentage of people now.

@Explorer233 (@soloinaduo and anyone else that might be interested...)
I live in the south east, and am looking for a FWB... Just saying...

Waving back 👋🙂

Hi, I only have (/had) my profile visible when I was actively searching. So it doesn't matter if I'm invisible at other times. But even then because of being swamped by messages, I would only have it visible when I was online, turned off at all other times. It still allowed messaging and if anyone I was chatting with wanted to see my profile again I'd turn it back to visible while we were chatting.
The lack of publicly visible pics was never a problem, I think tbh it acted as a natural filter and put the focus on how and what people messaged. I didn't want purely transactional sex encounters from my FWB arrangement, so my written bio is really clear about what I'm looking for and then in messaging it was important for some kind of mental connection to be made and being on the same page. I sent a face pic and a clothed, whole body pic privately if it was clear within the first few messages that there was potential. I never asked for dick pics and was never asked for nudes.
I've just had my last ever encounter with one of my FWBs, who's now moving abroad. So I may embark on the search process all over again.

@IsntItIronicDontchaThink thats interesting maybe I ll try that approach we ll see .
@AverageGuy as I m up in Scotland it’s probably too far away unfortunately
I ll keep up with it for now and see that comes about I have met quite a few couples who actually met on Fab unintentionally and I guess once in the lifestyle it’s easier to connect with someone like minded etc

I've met two lovely FWB in the past on Fab. I've also met lots of other lovely people too.

It’s hard for guys on fab as so much competition, and unless your well hung 8” plus your wasting your time.

I’ve had two years single after a 22yr relationship and aren’t looking for anything too serious but feel too old for tinder and pof etc just seems like so much hassle
