Also Searching For A Single Guy

Further to my previous post, which I've pasted at the end, I thought it would be good if a SINGLE category could be added when searching, as I'm not into meeting married guys or those with partners.

Previous Post:-

A few weeks ago I did a post to say I thought it would be a good idea to add a SUBMISSIVE category when searching.

The site moderator eventually closed my post down, stating members can add this in their profile.

Yes, you can add this to a profile but it doesn't help when searching. Lots of Bottoms on here aren't SUBMISSIVE and that's what I am looking for.

I really dont understand why guys here think everyone is honest, or needs to do what they suggest. It's like you're entire thought process cant function unless a computer has done some pre-selection for you. Its lazy, and naively stupid. The most powerful filter is your brain. If something is unclear, read, ask or move on.

Although your brain can filter stuff, it would be so much easier if you could search for a Submissive. Do I want to ask 100's of bottoms if the are Submissive? No. Also I have spent so much time with timewasters on this site, any extra help to find what I'm looking for would be a great help.

Meantime, you'll have to ask. Filters are an unreliable alternative. We're going to get to a point where guys simply don't use the tick boxes. Its not theirs, or FGs job to filter what you like. If there was a 'single' filter, do you think those guys who arent single are going to be honest when they know guys will meet them if they say they are single? Its not a dating site.

By your own argument, you might as well say why bother having any filters at all just make everyone read every profile - after all if your brain is the “best” filter. The whole point of having categories and filters is to reduce the result set to a manageable list, and the better the categories and filters the better the result sets. Yes, people might lie, they do already, but which is easier to work through a result set with 1000 liars or one with 100.

There are plent of filters already which are relevant to the purpose of the site. More filters would lead to less people selecting something that excludes them from searches, or simply lying. Relying on someone's self-selection is lazy. Single guys is not a selection because it is wholly irrelevant to the purpose of the site - sex hookups. What next - vegetarian? And yes, if you cant be bothered to read every profile that takes your interest or messages you, you cant really blame the site. It'll never happen anyway, the days of FG tweaking functionality are well passed, mainly because it functions perfectly well for most people.

I would definitely prefer a single guys category. I'll flirt online with married or partnered guys but it somehow never feels right in person. And I prefer in-person to virtual.

It's not a category I would use personally but I can see how this would be beneficial for others.

I do get into convos with guys who, several messages in then cut off contact because they aren't interested in married men, so it would help stop that awkwardness

The 'liars' category applies equally to all categories, so shouldn't be a barrier to getting new ones.

If I catch people out lying to me in order to get into my pants it's a black mark against them, as it then makes me question what else they have lied about. There has to be some level of trust.

If they don’t accommodate he is probably not single easy way to tell.

If it's 'wholly irrelevant' to a hookup site then so are other filters like smoker/non-smoker. Personally I only want to meet single guys (happy to chat to anyone) and would use such a filter, even if you'll get guys who lie. The same way they do about their height or whether they're a smoker.

Not always, can be to do with the living arrangements. I’m single but don’t accommodate as I have a straight flatmate (he knows I’m gay) and it is easier if neither of us bring people back as the flat isn’t that big.

Agreed!

I wouldn't mind a 'single' filter either.

Not too bothered if someone smokes so long as they smell ok and dont light up during a meet. I can ask. Height is easy, if they lie about height you can simply walk away. Bit of a stupid lie tbh, easy found out. Only wanting to meet single guys is great, you can ask, and then you'd have to believe. But how single we talking here? I could say im single cos I dont come as a double act with my husband. Someone could simply lie, theyre just here to fuck you after all. An inquisitive mind and the art of conversation seems to be being replaced filters, which everyone can easily get around by simply not ticking a box you want them to tick.

I did meet a guy socially once who was supposed to be taller than me, he was quite a bit shorter. It didn't progress but that wasn't the only reason. I do ask questions to get a 'feel' for who I'm meeting and I find men generally will disclose their relationship status if you ask. 'Can't accomm' is often but not always a giveaway. I often suggest meeting guys socially for a drink or coffee before anything else and their willingness to do that can also tell you something. So yes, I seek to find out info myself as well as using filters. Both have their use.

Its also worth considering how many women end up in affairs only to discover he's married. Were not exactly an honest species when it comes to getting our end away 😆

totally agree with you here and very accurate it’s not a dating site

That guy I met for a coffee, who lied about his height, casually mentioned he had a male partner, who didn't know he was on FG. He wasn't my type anyway but it was another reason I declined to progress. True that not everyone will be so honest but I'm pretty confident I've managed to filter out nearly all attached guys 👌
