Hi just had a great evening with a couple here in Milton Keynes, the only thing that spoilt was that 3 other guys were meant to turn up but didnt.
I answered an ad in the Photo Ads for 4 or more guys to look after a lady in Milton Keynes. 14 other guys were also sent invites, some creid off for various reasons and we were left with 4 who said that they would definetly turn up. Guess what the other 3 didnt!!!!!
So why say you will turn up and then not bother?
Thanks Dave and Babe for a great time

Do you think they just get a buzz out of pissing people off?
Does it turn them on knowing that you are sitting waiting for them all raring to go?
I don't know but we had the misfortune of being in a similar situation a couple of weeks back. All we say is it was their loss as we had a brilliant time once we resorted to plan B, lol :twisted:

Totally agree.
Although I think this affects all of us. Single guys and couples alike.
I suppose there are a variety of differemt reasons why people don't trun up.
Some are quite genuine I suppose, if they have lost there nerve at the last minute etc. Up to a point I can understand that perspective..
For others, I reckon there are too many reasons to mention on here, from not persuading your wife to come along, to just pic collecting.
lol, well would have been a bit far for me anyway I think, saying that I just got back from colchester again, wished I had had Inet over there to check if anybody in the area was in need smile
and yeah, I hate those that dont show as they say they will, kinda sux big time
Yes, I've had the same experience a few times. It's very annoying, but I guess some people are just timewasters. I think a few are piss taking but most are just cowards who bottle it at the last min. They'll be the same ones who whinge about never getting meets too I reckon rolleyes
We had the same problem the other day,and yes it really does p*ss you off.
But dont give up some of us are genuine.
People who are fakes should all be named and shamed as far as we are concerned just so other users are aware!!!
Yngcpl4fun mad

On a more serious note admit is a real bummer wioth timewasters but suppose it is just one of those things to dislike but know it happens.
People are people.
Some go out of their way to keep a commitment whereas others may think, "Oh, football's on telly. Sod it"
You never know which type you are meeting until you meet.

I too had an experience recently where a couple that were due to come to my flat recently cried off because someone was coming to fix a new meter..... which they had forgotten about...... mmmm strange a man would be coming to fix a meter in the evening though but not impossible i guess ....... anyway...... so i made other arrangements for last tuesday night and then during a chat with the male of the couple during the day on the tuesday in question he asked if i fancied meeting them for a drink that evening..... well i couldnt cos i had made other arrangements to see a woman..... next thing i know i am being labelled a timewaster!!!!!!!! blooming cheek of it, i am as genuine as they come and it was them that cancelled..... i could name names but i wont as thats not my style .... so sympathy all round to those that have suffered this annoying habit of people on here

this annoying habit of people on here

Maybe that should read some people on here? We're not all timewasters smile
Whoops Freckle..... i stand corrected yes of course i meant some people not all .... my apologies for the omission of the word "some" confused If there werent any genuine people out there then this site wouldnt exist..... let alone thrive....
Long may it live, if only there were more women down here in kent hehe

Awww, Judy. I think you know what I meant, lol
That there are good people and bad.
Considerate people and Rhett Butlers.
and you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find a Prince.

Sarah, since I happen to be colloquially a "Frog" (i.e. born on the other side of the Channel), am I entitled to a kiss ? ;)
Hey, even if I don't turn into prince charming, I get a snog and you get, hm , my sincerest gratitude lol

A few months back I met someone on here who lives in a town a few miles from me. We got on really well in our PMs and had some fun on MSN and webcam as well.
Eventually we arranged to meet the following week but as I'm freelance I got asked to work on the evening of our meeting. As many freelancers will know it's often not a good idea to turn down work, besides I genuinely needed the money!
Luckily I found out about the work problem a few days before we'd arranged to meet and so I contacted her with an apology, an explanation and an offer to reschedule.
Her reply was along the lines of "I see you're just like all the other f*cking timewasters out there, goodbye".
I understand someone standing the other person up with no excuse but I was trying to be as fair as possible. Still, it taught me that she probably wasn't the sort of person I'd have liked to meet anyway!

Just to put things into a little perspective - I've had 100% success with couples turning up over the past 6 months - maybe I'm just lucky.
However, my main gripe is people indicating interest/asking for photos and then swtiching off. Presumably they're picture collectors or maybe they're just frightened to say they don't like what they see. I wish they would just be open and honest and say rather than keep you hanging on.....please treat us like adults!

Hands up (not there!!!) all those who think we should have a "name and shame" section on the site - so the genuine swingers can tip each other off. As it stands we're all a bit in the dark and at an unfair disadvantage.
I've certainly got two names I share to start the ball rolling.

And what happens if you meet somebody and they just take a disliking to you? Or you have a genuine reason for not being able to turn up? They get to "name & shame you?" and you have no comeback.
Great idea. confused

I thought you just said that you had had 100% success rate? dunno
]If you read my messages I'm referring specifically to known or suspected persistent time-wasters or photo collectors. I haven't had problems with people not turning up - yet.
Surely if people know they will ne named and shamed then they are less likely to bugger us about!
If I acted like some people appear to then I would deserve to be embarassed/punished. There really is no excuse in this day and age with e-mail/mobiles for people not be courteous - that's all I'm asking. cool
weve just organised a get together in a local club .... limited singles to 10 cos thats club rules
filled the singles list straight away mailed em all 3 times... got confirmations of em all....and guess what 3 showed up......waiting list still full....tossers

Ahhh I see.... you want to be able to send your pictures to somebody and get something in return, even just a thanks but no thanks? If they aren't polite enough etc then you can go and name and shame them? dunno
And as for "suspected time wasters" I think everyone on here may have been in the category at some point, for one reason or another.
Naming and shaming.....its never going to happen.....end of!
See this is another gripe, you email people etc, and they di not even have the courtesy to reply! So not just people not turning up, just some simple courtesy will do!

This has been covered several times in the cafe.
At present I have over 200 messages in my inbox, some are from friends but the majority are from people who have replied to my ad.
Replying to an ad does not mean you have
a) actually read the ad
b) fit any of the criteria in it
c) live within 100 miles of me.
This can become trying after a while. Am to spend hours replying politely to people who didn't even give me the curtesy of thinking before they wrote in the first place?
H.x
Name and shame them too..............
They'll soon learn
