Waste of time

Waste of time, the Admin are ignorant and do not help in any way, shape or form. Blocked me, when I tried to rejoin they ignored my request. While all this is going on, they allow, druggies, Escorts and other low life to cruise the site.

Presumably FabGuys thought it would be…

Presumably FabGuys thought it would be a good idea to open up the forums from their sister-site Cottaging.co.uk at the start of the Covid pandemic, to give their members a little bonus due to not being able to hook up due to the lockdown rules. Little could they have known what a nest of Vipers this was going to be. Over-run by vicious little Marys, Snowflakes, Virtue Signallers, perverted trannies,cantankerous old farts and back-stabbing vermin who hit the mods alert button at the drop of a hat with minimal provocation, but more often than not for no f$&*ing reason at all. Best of all are the forums 'Matriarchs' who infest, and start threads on a daily basis, just for the sake of doing so, and presumably, to see their names 'up in lights'. The most notable subjects are as listed below... Someoneelsesname - previously the member known as happy and curious who after a username change (due to being banned from said forums), now commutes between Bristol and Falkirk to post there. A truly obnoxious git who thinks his every word is gospel. Loads of other members sussed him out virtually from the start and he cannot accept he's been busted. A very melancholy individual with as much personality as a cold tvrd. Midsbeargrrr - our self-appointed resident alleged comedian. Well, the reality is, he's not even CLOSE to funny. Just like the late and unlamented Preston Gnome, all of his threads in the forum are juvenile and asinine, and are clearly the work of some deranged troll who doesn't know when to stop. If it wasn't for other slow in the minds like Sleepflower and WatchMeCum for instance), all his threads would die an instant death. He's about as funny as a urinary tract infection. No Nonsense - needs to find another username as everything he hoists up on the forum is nonsense. Terminally puerile, and woe betide you if you don't agree with everything he posts up. Out go the toys from the pram like the big baby he is, and tantrums abound. Definitely needs some lobotomy work doing. DeepCockMeat - Another opinionated scrote with sewage for brains. A veritable band-wagon jumper who is all over everything like a rash, but with not one original thought in his stinking carcass. Needs to order up a straight-jacket from Very as soon as possible. Uncut guy - also known as Wendy from Worthing. A sanctimonious piece of work, a veritable tit and unstoppable gasbag. Another tantrum thrower and opinionated w^%ker with the gospel overtones of someoneelsesname. This twerp is a virtue signaller of the highest calibre and everything he posts up should be ignored.

Angel40, one of the many bitchy little trannies that likes to stir up political rubbish,tapeworms are more valuable to humanity than it is.

Liam73 likes to send rape and blackmail threats, been reported multiple times by multiple people, mods do nothing.

Gay men are rare on here, it's just a mix of unconvincing trannies and unhappily married men talking about their wives

Getting worse by the day

Getting worse by the day, had to report several forum users for clearly making thinly veiled requests for illegal pornography. The merge with the cottaging site after the pandemic just filled it to the brim with time wasters and fantasists. You can safely ignore any review of this site that has more than one star, it genuinely has no good points left. Stay well away

This site works well if you use it correctly.

I've been a member for over ten years. It is a well run site (despite all the comments on here to the contrary), free to use, well designed, has good functionality, and yes, some of the men and self-defined others are fakes, weird, confused, time wasters, fantasists, etc, but as in all other things in life it's up to each individual to make judgements about who to contact and meet. Providing you take responsibility, it is a very rewarding site for the sexually adventurous.

Works well for me

I can hardly recognise this site from the reviews on here. I have used this site for over a year and I have had mixed results. Yes I have experienced time wasters. Yes I have gone to meets to be ignored or blocked so frustrating but then I have made some good friends and also had some very good meets. Let's face it in life we think we know people to find out we don't really know them think of friends you found something out about you didn't expect or they didn't support you when you needed them you cannot blame the site for the people on there. I like the verification option as it does help to know if the person does meet that said it's only a guideline. I also like that you can hide the person who verified you so the identity of the person is private between you and then. I don't want the whole site to know who I meet. If you are happy to show them you can (I would ask the other person their view before doing so). Messages are slow and can take a while when discussing. You can also hide your friends list from others.
All in all it works and is alot better than other sites but could be improved. I hope this is a more constructive review rather than some on here who seem to only see one side of their experience. As another reviewer said look at the constant factor and reflect. I've read the negative comments on here and if that is their way of giving a balanced review it might be an insight in how they behaved on the site!

There is nothing wrong with the site

There is nothing wrong with the site , it is easy to navigate, so I won't blame the website. Unfortunately it's the sort of men that you get on here.
The majority are married and claim to be bi curious etc They claim to be '' genuine'' How can you be genuine if you are cheating on your wife? A lot of the married men want to have their cake and eat it. They want to keep their happy marriage and have gay sex on the side. I think most of the married users are closet gays who haven't got the bottle to face up to the truth about themselves

Fab is great

Fab is great. Sure, there are some wasters, and some have given negative reviews on here already. If you want good meets, don't be a weirdo. Be genuine, and you will get genuine back.

I have spoken to a few people and made friends with others; I have met without any hassles; and I have had to block a few weirdos. There are a lot of outgoing, forward guys, and quite a few less-than-confident users who want to meet but, for various reasons, get scared. And rightly so, meeting strangers from the internet is dangerous. I dare say some of them are dissuaded by the terrible attitudes of the sort of people that post negative feedback on Trustpilot out of spite. These people are toxic and should reflect on their behavior.

With the number of people on Fab, if you're failing to get good meets, then the only constant in that equation is you. I have zero problems getting meetings with people that want to meet someone like me. I come correctly, and it is reciprocated.

Fab is by far the best resource I've used to establish connections with like-minded people. I can't speak for the admins, but I've never had any issues. I've made a couple of reports for things I thought required investigation but never heard anything back from any of them, so I presume they have handled it accordingly for the site's TOS and the law. I feel safe enough, or as much as possible, given the tools available.

It's free, and if you want some extra features, you can pay a reasonable fee, which is much cheaper than any other premium dating/matching sites out there.

Mostly dissatisfied

Mostly dissatisfied. The admin treats you like a child and suspends account for any unspecified reason. Very few genuine gay or bi guys, mostly closet bi wanting to enact a kink behind the wife's back

Absolute waste of time

What a waste of time! 3 times arranged to meet, drive miles only for the messages to be ignored or blocked. Wouldn't recommend it for anyone besides the site is full muppets wanting photos sent to a blank profile. Even had one asking me to pick up and deliver coke for them.

DONT DARE TO SPEAK YOUR MIND

I messaged Admin informing them out of solidarity for the way they had treated another member as a criminal accusing him of displaying images of children on his profile that I would not be renewing my paid membership and guess what? they suspended my account. This site is full of Admins who run it like a classroom. It used to be good till the pettiness started. I'm well rid of it, there are far better sites to chat to other guys. I had always questioned how easy it was to access by anyone any age as no age ID checks were made just send a photo that could be easily photoshoped. Now 24 hours on, still no response to my email about why I've been suspended!
