Hi,
To all the people who ask for face pics,I ask you this, are you sure it is a pic of the person you are going to meet. I have had acouple of pics that bore a slight resemblance to the actual person but they were taken when they were a lot younger. So I think a mobile or contact no. is a better way to establish whether you are all looking for the same thing and take it from there. Cam is probably the way forward, not so easy to fake.
Enjoy the rest of 2005 it will pass quickly, that is one thing you can rely on.
I dont have a cam but I ALWAYS provide my number when replying to people, along with a face pic. Not that its made a blind bit of difference. even tho ads that say 'all ads with pic will recieve reply' never have, even to say 'sorry. no'!!
It seems that unless your prepared to adopt a full on 'swinging lifestyle' and attend munches to become part of the community you dont stand a chance. Unfortunately confused

What exactly is a 'full on' swinging lifestyle? Nobody says you have to attend munches to become part of the community. They do say that it's a better way to get to know people with whom you banter on here. The people who do, actually do stand more of a chance because they get to know people in real life as well as on here.
Unfortunately there are a great many people who are unwilling to put in any kind of effort/attend any social function. These are the people who constantly complain on the forum about not getting meets/getting no responses to ads or posts on Lets Meet Up/'no genuine people you're all fakes' etc. The amount of effort you put in and your attitude to it all, is probably in proportion with the amount of success you have.
The 21 posts you have made, probably means you haven't had a lot of success (however you define success).

Well a 'swinging lifestyle' from where I stand is one more involved than I am in any swinging community.
I appreciate that obviously going to munches will up your chances of meeting people (duh, I'm not stupid)
I'm not one of those 'constantly complaining' and I hope you are not implying I am. You are right about not putting in any effort to attend socials etc. I don't attend, but surely that's my perogative?
I'm making observations based on my success, or lack of it (!) and my approach. I'm not 'bitching' so climb down and stop being so defensive please. I'm here to make friends, locally hopefully, as I don't intend on going to regional munches. Surely that's permissable?

hey all you beautiful Ladies, how would you like to join a mmf trio for some fun fun fun in the essexish area. We are in our 40's and all as sexy as hell.

My question to you, is: why would anyone believe that you are genuine (pic or not) when you can't even make up your mind about your age or whether you're single/part of a group?

I wasn't implying that youare constantly complaining; I was pointing out that those who do, are invariably the ones who don't make any effort to get themselves known other than a 'I'm looking for a shag' type of posts.
However, you did comment on how 'unfortunately' you don't stand a chance unless you attend munches/adopt a full on swinging lifestyle. Well, yes you do stand a chance; it's just proportionately smaller than if you do attend munches and the like.

Ah ok, sorry, thought you were talking about me.
i am prepared to get to know people, but after making an attempt i.e. replying to an ad, posting something here in 'lets meet up' I can't really do much more if I get no response! Just bad luck I guess. Its not a massive issue, just annoying at times.

Agreed.
Though was just airing my thoughts as I seem to have very little luck, how 'proportionate' my luck is I have no idea!!
Well you've said in another thread that you've had 3 meets so far. So I reckon you're doing a little better than a lot of the people on here. biggrin

Ah. Well spotted lol
So, cashewfenny2004... give me one good reason why I shouldn't ban you for not being genuine?????? confused
Maybe because he has a cam Blue ? Apparently, that's all it takes, or a phone call.
Have to say, I do know of one couple some time ago who were conned into a meet with a single man who merely got a female friend to pretend that she was his wife, on the phone to said couple.
:shock: YIKES!
I may not follow the conventional path here, but fucking ada, thats well messed up.
On my advert i have face pics (# 191278)
Fortunately, a few people on here have seen me either on cam or in the flesh so to speak so i would hope they could vouch that i am who i say i am.
I think that a face pic shows a certain amount of sincerity (If pic is genuine) over a "Cock" pic, but in order to find out if the person is themseleves genuine then there is only one way to do that. The good thing is that that is found out at the same time - By actually meeting them.
Not much of a help though as the bad thing is if either the pic or the person then turns out to be not genuine then it's too late, as you are with them. Unfortunately, (and i may be guessing and saying this without any actual facts), there are probably more that aren't "Totally Genuine" than are and these are the "Bad apples" that,and understandably so, give the same type (i'm guessing single males here) a bad name.
It is very frustrating but thankfully people know that we aren't all the same and they will give the genuine males the benefit of the doubt.
Don't know if my drivel here is of any use but at least it makes a change from a cock pic !!

What the hell is wrong with my piccy???

Apart from a bit of 5 o'clock shadow, nothing at all lol
Bless you Lil' Bunny but think your pic beats mine hands down or is that c__k up !!!
Trapper, nothing wrong with that pic and obviously 100% genuine in my books.
Surely everyone has a digital camera these days weather this be on your phone or an actual camera . . . if you don't want to put for face up for all to see then just tell people you will include your pic in a PM. . . more to the point if you're worried about if someone is leading you on ask them to take a picture of themselves in a way you describe . . . cock mouth is probably not that useful; but asking for them to be holding a resent newspaper or a common household object isn't that easyto fake . . .
Its got to be said I always prefer a cuddly smile to a waife who grimacing like she's got a bananna stuck up her arse . . . rolleyes . . . erm . . . thinking about it . . . :shock:
