I gave up Flab-Slingers many moons ago, got so fed up finding out that Luscious Linda 37 from Lowestoft was actually George from Grimsby the 70 year old bearded taxi driver !!
Did you read my post, I listed the accounts we wouldn’t want here, neither would any of our members. Also @skippy made a valuable post about accounts that leave by choice and come here. I think you’ve read it a bit wrong. ??So basically anyone with an account on fab isn’t welcome here and should go back mingling with the other scum
You have to realise hun that these are people’s experience of other sites, I was talking to a friend yesterday who’s club has just been banned, the messages she receives are criminalI shall have another read through again
As you are well aware tricky, moderation is key. Sites of such nature don’t have it. They allow fakes, bullies, sickos purely because of money. Why clean the place when it working, it’s a brilliant set up but it’s not swinging. Personally I love the place as it keeps these people off here and it protects the decent people of this site. ?Right where do I start?
In the beginning there where contact mags and they where good. well goodish I had one or two successes with them but they where really slow and trying to get to the post before nosey parents was a real pain.
As time went by I got my first PC managed to find a cheap dial up modem and found bulletin boards, they tended to be geeky and never considered them for adult activities. Along came the internet, still dial up at that time, real pain having to share the phone line, so second line installed new fast dial up modem and we're off. It didn't take long to find adult groups on Yahoo and MSN, even back then there was the 'fuck & go' element. Through the adult groups I found my first swinging sites one of which was Swinging Heaven. Back then it had been going a few years before I joined and was quite well established but the best part is was free. The Forums IMO where brilliant always someone prepared to help, the occasional moan "this has been done to death" because some newbie would ask a question.
Over the years Yahoo and MSN have distanced themselves from adult related content and I joined a whole load of "swingers sites" some of which where purely money making scams. Many have ceased to exist, internal power sqabbles, lack of interest, loss of members to the latest greatest site are some of the reasons they failed. Time is marching on sites are growing in size and complexity needing to move from often free hosting to bigger servers requiring a fee. Some sites start to charge to cover costs, others think more about lining pockets. Many see members leave in search of "free sites" result is a lot of sites fail.
What I have found over the years is that genuine sites start out with the best of intentions but often are allowed to become toxic and where the site is comercially orientated such as drab more so.
An excellent well thought out post that describes most peoples of a certain ages journey! Thank youRight where do I start?

Oh yes moderation, that thankless task where everyone wants to be your friend until you say NO. Been there done that got the Tee shirt twice over. IMO there are 2 types of moderator, the one who is genuine and wants the best for a site and it's members and puts up with all the shit and hassle and hands out sanctions as a last resort, Then there is the managment toadie who relishes the power they can weild and will at times abuse it, more censor than moderator.As you are well aware tricky, moderation is key.

Sadly you’re not alone in saying or experiencing these things on those types of sites.I'm from the US and it is worse over here because at least you have sites like this one.
All we have is all of the bad stuff you are complaining about.
I have met a lot of swingers over the years, at work or wherever, not one of them ever found a playmate online. Everyone they found was in person, at work or whatever.
I am convinced every online, pay swing site is fake. I have tried them all. As soon as you sign up you are flooded with people who want you. But they are 1,000 miles away, or you are the wrong race, age, height and weight, according to their profile. Either the site sets up fake accounts to get you to pay for another month because you think everybody wants you, or the site lies to real people and tells them you are what they are looking for.
Mostly all i ever got
was " me love you long time. Send money."
Tricky, I was a bit like you, I remember the days of MSN and Yahoo chat & messenger.Right where do I start?

Have you tried clubs or socials?Tricky, I was a bit like you, I remember the days of MSN and Yahoo chat & messenger.
I actually had more success on those platforms than I've ever had on a swingers site, one occasion me and a mate drove all the way to Telford to meet a couple in their house and had a great time, also, a guy brought a girl friend of his (not a girlfriend) to meet me in my truck, he drove quite a few miles too.
Also, I've had some action from dogging over the years too.
But swinging, I've had no luck at all, and here was I, thinking that this was/is the way to go.
I don't expect instant results, but thought that being *here* (not SS, just swinging sites in general) would put me in a better position than if I WASN'T on a swinging site ?
This isn't a moan btw, I understand you can only get out what you put in, but unfortunately, being a single male (one that's getting on a bit, too) doesn't seem to appeal to many nowadays.
No Pearls, I've never had the opportunity to, I've looked into it and hear it can be difficult to as a single man, I have a lesbian friend who I planned to go with but the plan fell by the wayside (this was pre covid)Have you tried clubs or socials?
Clubs are a great way to get going and socials, we’ve got on at xmas in Cardiff if that helps.No Pearls, I've never had the opportunity to, I've looked into it and hear it can be difficult to as a single man, I have a lesbian friend who I planned to go with but the plan fell by the wayside (this was pre covid)
It's a bit far, pearls, but doable of course. Obviously hotels are needed as I'd be driving.Clubs are a great way to get going and socials, we’ve got on at xmas in Cardiff if that helps.
Nice to know im not the only one with this problem.It's a bit far, pearls, but doable of course. Obviously hotels are needed as I'd be driving.
It all depends on work patterns etc x
What is with the angry icon?Nice to know im not the only one with this problem.
But , at least you have a chance to go to a club or social. Here in the US, i never found one that isnt heavily restricted for everyone concerning age , weight, looks and even intelligence. Single men are banned, no matter what.
Never thought of going with a lesbian. I did try offering a woman i have dated ,a swingers, couples only cruise. She didn't have to have sex with me and could make up some excuse why she didn't want to have sex with anyone else. Like, just wanted to watch me with a woman. I thought it was a great deal. She got a cruise out of it.
She wasn't interested.
I think it's probably gonna be meant for the lady who wasn't up for the free cruise, but I dunno, I'm guessing ?What is with the angry icon?
Mad at me?
No man, single gent restrictions as per. It’s as if single guys are leppers and I can’t abide it.What is with the angry icon?

Ok. Just wanted to make sure i didn't upset someone by accident.No man, single gent restrictions as per. It’s as if single guys are leppers and I can’t abide it.
Not at all my friend. I despise the single gent prejudice.Ok. Just wanted to make sure i didn't upset someone by accident.
