"I don't get the motive,why would they go to the bother of arranging a meet,then not turn up?
Makes no sense but as you say it's their loss "
It makes sense if you’ve never had any intention of meeting up and are just here for the titillation |

They just want our Photos ("Friend's Request")
Consequently, my profile reads like I'm a complete bitch - but it's exhausting wading through the absolute bullshit.
Stay Safe & Happy Fabing to all Genuine Fabbers.

I've always found that taking my time arranging meets and having a long time chatting first has avoided any time wasting when it came to actually meeting.
And tbh I wouldn't find 4 profiles in months that id be interested in actually meeting nevermind over 1 weekend |

It's a controversial one. Most stories have more than one side. Unfortunately there are quite a lot of fake or dreamer profiles on here. It's very disappointing when the planned meet doesn't go ahead as the excitement beforehand is uplifting, making the lack of outcome seem more frustrating. It would be great to save other people the hassle of being let down by these time wasters, but how to do it without breaking the rules?
It's frustrating but the ones that do happen, do truly make up for the time wasters.
I suppose you have to trust verifications and your gut. Nothing ventured nothing gained, and every experience is part of the learning curve.
Hopefully you don't experience too many more. |

The issue has always been the potential for using such a system maliciously. Add to that the multitude of individual definitions of time-wasting and you have a shit show in the making.
Everyone will have their own way of managing the potential for no-shows. Personally, no-one gets any titillation from me whether written, verbal or in photos. I commit to nothing until I've met the person socially. It works for me.
I think if this kind of thing happens over and over again, you have to revisit how YOU'RE doing things. There will always be messers and the only thing you can control is how you mitigate against that.
A change in approach is also likely to be less stressy than a cycle of frustration and punitive measures

Sorry things didn't work out for you over the weekend.
What would be your definition of a time waster though? |

I've never had my time wasted on fab.
I'll be here 10 years in January and I've never had a no show.
I've had lots of chats fizzle out but I've never seen that as time wasted.
I know it doesn't suit everyone but I only ever meet socially first and that's usually after chatting for weeks or even months.
My very first fab meet was dangerous and a disaster so I learned from that and don't take any chances. I don't regret that because it works for me. |

Hubby works away and his work is unpredictable at the moment which means we have a long chatting stage and that usually s out fakes.
We get serious amounts of men acting as couples.

Socials make it so much easier to meet people especially if you're all staying over in the hotel
Its one of the reasons why so many people organise to meet others
Trying to meet 4 other couples or singles in one weekend without it being a private party sounds like a logistical nightmare |
