Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - saddle position problems

Been messing around with saddle/stem/brake positions to try to get a good feel. It is most definitely getting better but I'm still having problems with the saddle. I am using normal drop bars with brakes levers/hoods. When I am in the complete drop position (not to get too graphic) the front of the saddle gets a little too close for comfort to the crotch area. When I have my hands on the brake hoods it feels pretty good but like I don't really have that much weight on my butt. When I am riding all the way up with my hands on the straight parts of the bars I feel a little like I am going to slide off the saddle. Any suggestions?

You might need a different saddle. What do you have now?
Several points though.
look at the tilt of the saddle. I run mine perfectly level, but everyone has their own preference on this. Tilt is often the cause of a "slipping off" feeling.

Also, as for the "don't have much weight on my butt" comment. That is how things should be. (as long as that weight isn't in your hands instead)

Good to hear about the weight issue. For a while I was carrying the weight on my hands which was awful because I have elbow tendonitis issues that it was bothering. Since changing the height of the stem and the angle and tilt on the brakes it has shifted a lot of the weight off of the arms. A HUGE relief.

Every thing you've stated suggests that the beak of the saddle is too high. Lower it by a MM or 2 and ride it for a day... repeat til it feels proper.

It might not just be your saddle that's the problem.

Level is a good starting point. Actually put a level on the seat to get that starting point, what looks level may not be. I like mine with the tip pointing SLIGHTLY down, but it's better perfectly level, than tilted too far in either direction.
