Fab Guys Chat Webchat

Fab Guys chat — the quick answer

Chat on Fab Guys is free and built in. Once you sign in you can message any member directly — no
mutual match required — and read every reply for free. Right now 80 men were
online across the UK in the last few minutes.

How chat works

  • Open a profile from the grid and tap Chat to start a conversation.
  • Unverified accounts can start five new conversations a day; verified accounts twenty.
  • Links, phone numbers and messaging-app handles are hidden for the first ten messages of a new
    thread — the single most effective anti-scam rule in this space.

Staying safe in chat

Keep the conversation on site until you are comfortable. Anyone pushing to move to WhatsApp or
Telegram in the first few messages, or asking for money or links, should be reported — every
conversation has a report button, and reports are read by a person, usually within 24 hours.

Free, confidential sexual-health testing is available across the UK through NHS sexual health services. For LGBT+ abuse support, Galop runs a free helpline on 0800 999 5428. Fab Guys operates as a UK user-to-user service under the Ofcom guidance for dating and social discovery services.

Links, numbers and app handles are hidden for the first ten messages of a new thread to stop scammers pushing you off-site.
