FabGuys.com forum: Meeting guys before you joined Fabguys

How did you meet other gay or bi guys before you joined Fabguys or any other online dating site ?

Personally I used to go to a local park where it was known 'queers' hung out. Most Sunday mornings I'd be there walking around hoping to spot like-minded men. As my Gaydar is very good they were quite easy to spot.

I sucked enough cocks to keep me satisfied but occasionally there would be no one around, especially in bad weather and this left me so frustrated. Still, there was always next time...

I was a late starter and my first meet was through a dating site. 'Cottaging' which was a predecessor to this site.

Before I joined Fabguys;

My partner and I usually meet guys in the saunas, cruise bars and other places and via other dating apps for sex fun.

I am not the jealous type, I love my partner to enjoy sex with other guys too. It is not a big deal, good for him to relate with other guys, keep him healthy, relaxed and free from stress.

Also, we used to meet guys from :

Long Yang Club - It's was a London Gay Club for English men and Oriental guys. O Man, my Scottish partner was very popular with East Asian and South East Asian guys in the club. I let him enjoyed lots of sex with them because I was also having sex with other English men from the Club.

I was late to being bi, thanks to a married mf couple.

I then used our local gay sauna Tropics for most of my fun.

It was a sauna contact that suggested FGs.

I use the sauna less now as I can accom but I get my fun from a few sources now.

Parks, in the woods, laybys. Most of the men I met could work out what I was like, unlike the endless horsetrading you get on websites, and they behaved nicely to me (again unlike chatting on websites). I met many that way. Some became regular.

Fun times.

As a young 18yr old I found the website cottaging where most of my earlier experiences were from

Then up popped apps like Grindr and then Fabguys made it much easier

Living near London also helps because I can go to the clubs/saunas and gay bars with ease

I had used Gumtree for regular dating meets. Then 15 years ago my embryonic bi curiosity was explored through the Gumtree personal ads section. It was comparatively tame but still enjoyable, first with a young Spanish man in Putney. Then I surprised myself by meeting a gay couple from South America. I forget whether they lived in Essex or south London. Happy times.

My first man on man encounter was from the sister site which I had joined in a bit of a desperate attempt to meet women over a decade ago.

But if you weren't, young, hung or in a willing couple, it wasn't the ideal place for fun.

And I'm none of those.

I wasnt getting anything except some interest from bi or gay guys which I wasn't wanting at the time.

After weeks of getting nowhere I started to wonder what I was missing out on.

So I took the plunge, just to try o see if I liked it. If not then so what.

Turned out loved it.

The guy I met recommended this site and I haven't looked back since.

Here and another couple of sites - but 90% of the time on here - are where I find all my hook ups.

There were various forms of online chat in the 90’s. I liked chat lines as well. Met a few guys that way. Others when I travelled for business - often they’d pick me up in the airport departure lounge and we’d hook up in the toilets.

"Public toilets many years ago were best place to meet men. "

Before I started to visit my local park, probably my first gay encounter came in a public toilet in the town centre. It was a look he gave me that said 'follow' me, which I did. We ended up at the top of the stairs in a car park. After mutual wanking, I sucked him off, probably my first ever bj. That became a regular thing for many months after.

I do, I was in a shop browsing through the gay adverts when suddenly a mans voice behind me said 'im looking for the same thing', I was a bit shocked that a stranger caught me looking at those pages, he was looking over my shoulder, I felt embarrassed and a bit taken aback, in hindsight I should've took him up on his offer, dam.
