Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 61 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many people found the website poorly run and experienced issues with its functionality, including problems with logging in and features not working as expected. Customers frequently reported dissatisfaction with the staff, citing administrators as banning users without clear reasons, especially for political or religious comments. The social media aspect of the platform was also a significant concern, with many highlighting issues of bullying, particularly from certain user groups, which administrators reportedly failed to address. Some people were dissatisfied with the service, mentioning that their accounts were frozen or messaging capabilities stopped without explanation, and that customer support was unresponsive to their complaints. However, some customers also noted positive aspects of the user experience, finding the site useful for meeting people and appreciating features like message filters, despite acknowledging the presence of time-wasters and fake profiles.

I joined the other day

I joined the other day. Everything seemed alright. Uploaded a profile pic and fabbed a few pics. Then I was unable to verify my profile pic and fab photographs. So I decided I was getting nowhere and deleted my account as for some strange reason I was suddenly getting no more views?????
Very very strange?????????

Ok for fantasists who are just pretending they are looking for gay sexual encounters, absolute waste of time for anyone who actually wants to meet guys. Site is full of fantasists and dreamers and not a lot more. Don't expect anything but disappointment. Perfect if you want to arrange meet that will never come to anything except messages with fellow dreamers

Fab guys are still trying to harrass me into removing my review by constantly flagging it for defamatory content to trustpilot despite my review being within guidelines and multiple other reviews saying the same things ive said.
Also looks like their new copy paste responses are made by a.i. no serious employee would start ranting about british politics in the middle of dealing with a customers grievances.

Pathetic.

To easy to create a false profile !

We are problems with my neighbour and she has easily created a profile on this site using my name and handed out my address to unsuspecting users of this site, i am happily married ( a female ) and to have strange men calling at all times day or night is unnerving ! Police have been informed and are looking into it !!! Seems to me this site is way to easy to create a profile and arrange meetings !!!

Disappointed

Joined back today and literally got called a time waster

Best thing was the guy was the time waster as he wanted totally different things to what had on my profile so in the end I blocked him

Then another time waster popped up and he never even got by the “ Hi “ I thought this was meant to friendly and all i got back was disrespect from people

There’s quite a few within walking distance yet they don’t even look genuinely wanting anything so why are they on there ? It’s because they’re the time wasters who don’t want anything to do with guys at all

It’s so pointless this site as no genuine men at all, I wouldn’t be surprised if some of them had fake verifications from others

I’m sorry FabGuys but some guys are just full of themselves and not caring at all

————————————
I will say thanx for your reply here

In terms of verification I can see a flaw as for one I had noticed a person who registered was near enough verified by users within a few hours of joining, I have no idea if they were invited by someone but verified by 3-5 users within hours of joining I guess there could of been a bit of fakery going on unless like I said they could of been invited and then verified by a few users who knew them

Thanks for your response but I shall not be returning to FabGuys due to the negative attitude from some members on there as I will not be classed as a time waster when I wasn’t even doing that

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for sharing your experience.

It hurts us in the very core of our beings, that you are disappointed. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your return to the app left you feeling disrespected and let down. That’s not the experience we want for anyone.

Your review says more than just “this app didn’t work for me.” It reflects a wider frustration — the sense that real connection is getting harder to find, and that people are becoming careless with each other. That’s not unique to online dating, it’s a reflection of where we are more broadly. Some would call it Broken Britain. Since the post-Thatcher years, we’ve seen community, trust, and shared values gradually erode. It’s no surprise that these deeper fractures show up in our personal lives too.

We’re constantly reviewing how profiles are verified, how respectful behaviour is encouraged, and how we can surface genuine users more clearly. Technology can’t fix people, but it can help set a better tone — and we’re working on that.

What’s clear is that we’re all overdue for something better. A new kind of connection, built not on likes, swipes or shallow performance, but on honesty, attention, and mutual respect. If the old systems aren’t working — socially, culturally, or digitally — then maybe it’s time to build new ones. We don’t pretend to have the full answer, but we believe it starts with listening, taking responsibility, and refusing to give up on the idea that people can treat each other better than this.

Okay. Could be Improved

Fab can be hard to navigate for new users. It took me a while to work out the site. There are so many sections and links that its overwhelming.

Once you know the site, it's pretty easy.

Expect to lose your lunch with some profiles. Some are very extreem. Expect strange messages.

Without a membership, it's quite hard to use, the limitations force you to buy a membership. They don't limit profile views like other sites. The distance is quite flakey because it's postcode based. On the mobile version it uses actual location but very few people use the mobile version. (It's a horrible mobile experience, heavily cluttered)

There is a great opportunity to tighten up the design, but nothing has improved in years -- it still feels like a website designed in 1995.

Expect tonnes of blank profiles -- I just block them all.
Expect lots of profiles with no faces -- no face on the first message, I just block.
Expect 1000s of messages a week for a good profile with face, body and etc pics. The best week I ever had was 2800 messages in one week. Usually 600-800 a week. And yes there is a lot of low quality messages.

I by-far get more meets from here than any other app. And it took me years to work out how to get the best experience. It's worth figuring out and you need a membership to unlock the features that you need to determine distance properly.

accussed of being involved in prostition

i hope for a reply and evidence ( if not an apology) for fabguys suggestion of prostitution activity by me:

buying or selling sex

This has now happened twice with my account suspended on the second occasion and threat it will be closed if it happens.

I mentioned what had happen in my profile write up -it was quickly removed by fab guys

I value my reputation as a Dr.

This is very stressful and painful experience.
It also feels very 'defaming'
ie the knowledge of this accusation by more than one person and the damage to my professional reputation as an honest gay man..

I have positive vibes about Fab

I have been on Fab Guys for many years.
It is what is, there are some good guys and some time wasters.
I find a well written profile and a bit of careful selection has got me many very exciting meets. I tend to stick with mature guys, as they are more reliable and know what they are doing,
I have made some very good friends on there too.
It’s like everything else, if you put the effort in, it will reap the results.

Admin do not take member security seriously at all.…

Another user has been using my photos on the site for over two years. I’ve reported it myself and asked a few friends to report it. Admin have done absolutely nothing about it. Overtime, this user has turned into a stalker who pretends to be me, gives out my address and hangs around my home. I’ve had to get police involved. Yet, he still has a profile and is freely using this site with my photos.

Makes you wonder what the fee is for if there is absolutely no admin support even for such a serious, ongoing concern. It’s no wonder there have been some serious crimes committed through this site.

The site is also full of glitches.
