It's like anything else in life: you reap what you sow.
It annoys me when people think they can post an ad and wait for the semi-naked dancing girls to roll in. If they get lucky, great! But when they don't, they inevitably come here (I've seen it 10 times and I've only been here 2 weeks) and start complaining. But they've made no attempt to be friendly or interract - they just moan.

Nope. I joined here on 17th September. I'm just used to posting on messageboards. They really are all the same, even if this one is about swinging.
I should clarify what I was saying. What I mean is that most people here are genuine. Either they are swingers, or they are curious - but either way, they are honest about themselves and what they want. The people who post in the Cafe are mostly genuine, friendly people and it annoys me when people come here to complain about non-response to ads, because most people who post ads don't post here. They place their ad in haste, and then check their email once a month when they remember. I'd like to think that the people who post in here are genuine enough to reply to ads, even if it's just to say "thanks but no thanks".

There are plenty of good actresses around at the moment, although many of them are not household names. Naomi Watts is great. I like Olivia Williams. Samantha Morton is good. Nicole Kidman is great is some things, although patchy in others. Cate Blanchett is great. Jennifer Connelly is good.
The main problem is this: Hollywood stops writing good roles for women after the hit 40. De Niro, Pacino, Hoffman...etc... all get older and get good film roles. Most of their female contemporaries just got offloaded instead of getting juicy film roles.

Julia Roberts is pleasant, but not a very good actress. She won an Oscar for Erin Brockovich because Hollywood likes bankable actors who can bring in the dollars. It was a one-note "I am sassy but vulnerable" performance.
Bad Julia Roberts films:
Mona Lisa Smile
America's Sweethearts
Erin Brockovich
Runaway Bride
Notting Hill
Stepmom
Conspiracy Theory
My Best Friend's Wedding
Michael Collins
Mary Reilly
Prêt-à -Porter
I Love Trouble
The Pelican Brief
Hook
Dying Young
Sleeping with the Enemy
Pretty Woman
Steel Magnolias
Ok Julia Roberts films:
Mystic Pizza
Oceans Eleven

Everyone blames the press and then rushes out to buy the papers.
The tabloids are interested in two things: profit and power. They have no interest in the truth, or whether or not they are ruining people's lives. If they think dogging or swinging will sell papers, they'll print stories about it.
I think the best response is to not buy the papers. And if they ever print a story about YOU, then don't play into their hands. They rely on shame and scandal to sell their papers. If they write a story about you, just say that you're not ashamed, not scandalised and that you can't believe anyone would be shocked by grown adults having consensual sex.
That's it really. You can't defeat the press. The best you can do is ignore it.

Here's one solution:
cut a potato in half and carve a smiley face into the exposed side. If you have kids, get them to cut up lots of potatos and carve different faces into them. Then, when someone in your company makes a funny joke, rather than laughing you can whip out your smiley potato to indicate that you found it funny.

It seems like once a week, you get a guy coming in here complaining that people are timewasters or aren't players. This normally seems to translate as "Everyone should jump straight into bed with me or else they aren't genuine".
Most of the people in this forum have experience of swinging, and because they do they realise the value of chatting, getting to know people and generally having a good time before (or if) they want to fuck someone. Most of the guys who come here and whinge seem not to bother being friendly or chatting. They just expect a queue of people to form in front of them, full of women who are desperate to shag them.
My advice to those men is to realise that there are many reasons why people might not want to fuck them. Yes, it may be true that some people here are timewasters, but there are also who are just discriminating about who they play with, and they are not likely to bother with cocksure single males who don't bother to introduce themselves and yet expect the world to fall at their feet.

I LOVE Michael Winner!
I have done a series of cartoons featuring him as a fat superhero. He is so charmless, and yet somehow charming. I like the fact that he's an idiot and yet loves the films of Luis Bunuel. I love his nose. I love the fact that he humiliated Richard Littlejohn on live TV. I love the fact that he directed Death Wish.
