FabSwingers vs Swinging Heaven vs SLS: Which Is Best for Single Men?

Dark infographic comparing single men per single woman: FabSwingers 20.2, Swinging Heaven 23.6, SLS 11.5, 19-20 October 2026

Last updated October 2026

FabSwingers, Swinging Heaven or SLS: which swinging site gives a single man the best odds? We counted all three on 19 and 20 October 2026 and compared men per woman city by city and across the UK. SLS has the kindest ratio but almost nobody on it, Swinging Heaven is the toughest overall, and FabSwingers wins in 13 of the 16 cities we checked. Here is the full scoreboard, plus the one thing that matters more than which site you pick.

Single men per single woman, UK: SLS about 11.5, FabSwingers 20.2, Swinging Heaven 23.6. Lower is better for a single man.

City scoreboard, FabSwingers vs Swinging Heaven: Fab wins 13, Swinging Heaven wins 3 (Bristol, Belfast, Norwich).

SLS looks best on paper, but we found just 4 single women active UK-wide in two weeks.

One thing to keep in mind all the way through: the three sites were measured in different ways, because each site lets you search differently. That makes this comparison indicative, not exact, and I explain the differences below.

How we counted

All three counts come from our own counting and sampling of each site on 19 and 20 October 2026. We counted only. No individual profiles were opened or recorded.

  • FabSwingers: searches cap at 300 results, so the Fab figures are a representative sample. These are the final figures from a 4-pass study (about 6:45am, 12pm, 6pm and midnight, 19 to 20 October), with men, women and couples counted in the same recent-activity window and pooled across the passes. Full details are in our FabSwingers men to women ratio study.
  • Swinging Heaven: full counts with no cap, profiles active in the last 30 days, each city a 30-mile radius. Full details are in our Swinging Heaven study.
  • SLS: a free account caps every search at 50 results. UK-wide, with Irish profiles removed, active in the last two weeks. City figures are hubs with a 100-mile radius, active in the last month.

So the methods differ: a sample against full counts, different activity windows and different radiuses. The ratios still tell a clear story, but please read every comparison as indicative.

The UK picture

Ranked from best to worst for a single man:

  1. SLS: about 11.5 men per woman (46 men, 4 women, 36 couples, active in the last two weeks)
  2. FabSwingers: 20.2 men per woman (17,653 men, 874 women, 4,123 couples, sampled online over four passes)
  3. Swinging Heaven: 23.6 men per woman (10,775 men, 456 women, 4,474 couples, active in the last 30 days)

Swinging Heaven has 3.4 more men per woman than FabSwingers, roughly 17% more competition. FabSwingers, in turn, has about 1.8 times as many men per woman as SLS.

But SLS’s win comes with a giant asterisk. Its 11.5 rests on 4 single women active in the UK in two weeks, and 9 across a whole month. A better ratio on a site with almost no one on it is not much use to you. Meanwhile, couples outnumber single women on SLS 9 to 1 (36 against 4), which tells you who SLS is really for.

Paired bar chart of men per woman by city on FabSwingers and Swinging Heaven in 16 UK cities, with the winner of each city: Fab 13, Swinging Heaven 3, 19-20 October 2026

Fab’s biggest wins. Leicester is the standout: 14.6 fewer men per woman on Fab than on Swinging Heaven. Leeds (10.4 fewer) and Manchester (9.4 fewer) are the next biggest gaps, with Birmingham, Fab’s best city, close behind (8.9 fewer).

Where Swinging Heaven wins. Norwich is the mirror image of Leicester: Fab’s worst city, and 15.4 fewer men per woman on Swinging Heaven, the biggest gap in the whole table. Belfast is 13.9 in Swinging Heaven’s favour on paper, but it rests on just 8 active women, so I wouldn’t book a ferry on the strength of it. Bristol goes to Swinging Heaven by only 0.7.

The coin tosses. Edinburgh goes to Fab by just 0.3, and Swinging Heaven’s Edinburgh figure rests on only 7 women. Bristol (0.7 to Swinging Heaven) and Newcastle (1.1 to Fab) are nearly as close.

SLS by hub

SLS numbers are so small that a city table would be misleading, so here are its hubs, each a 100-mile radius, active in the last month. These overlap, and they are indicative only.

  • Manchester: 24 men, 2 women (12.0 men per woman)
  • Birmingham: 31 men, 5 women (6.2)
  • Bristol: 21 men, 2 women (10.5)
  • Southampton: 32 men, 6 women (5.3)
  • Newcastle: 7 men, 1 woman (7.0)
  • Glasgow: 5 men, 0 women

Six women within 100 miles of Southampton is the best SLS managed. Glasgow had none at all. The ratios look friendly, but the pool is a puddle.

So which site should a single man use?

If you live in one of the 13 cities where Fab wins, FabSwingers gives you the less brutal odds of the two big sites. In Norwich, Swinging Heaven looks the clear better bet, and in Bristol it is close to a toss-up. SLS is worth a look only if you accept you will be competing for a tiny handful of women across a huge area.

Whichever site you pick, the odds are brutal for single men, and couples are the real currency. Couples outnumber single women by about 10 to 1 on Swinging Heaven, nearly 5 to 1 on FabSwingers and 9 to 1 on SLS. A single man who learns what couples want will do far better than one who keeps messaging the same few single women as everyone else.

Caveats

  • The three sites were measured differently: a FabSwingers sample over four passes, full Swinging Heaven counts over 30 days and capped SLS searches over two weeks or a month. Comparisons are indicative.
  • The FabSwingers figures are final, from our 4-pass study on 19 and 20 October 2026.
  • Swinging Heaven cities are 30-mile circles and SLS hubs are 100-mile circles, so both overlap. Never add rows together.
  • SLS figures are very small, and a free account caps searches at 50 results. Treat them as indicative only.
  • Cities with few women, such as Belfast and Edinburgh on Swinging Heaven, can swing a long way on one or two profiles.
  • Swinging Heaven and SLS figures are from 19 October 2026, FabSwingers from 19 to 20 October. Counts only; no individual profiles were opened or recorded.

The bottom line

On our own counts and sampling of each site on 19 and 20 October 2026, SLS has the best ratio but hardly any women, Swinging Heaven is the worst overall at 23.6 men per woman, and FabSwingers beats Swinging Heaven in 13 of 16 cities. Pick the site that wins in your city, but don’t expect miracles from any of them. The real edge for a single man isn’t the site. It’s couples.
