Couples only Munches.

16 Jun 2004

Greetings to each and all,
This is my virgin post. rolleyes

Single chaps please don't take offence, but are any of the Munches held ever for couples only?
I ask this question on behalf of my partner,The Long Haired One.
Thankyou.
(PS, I'm pooter illigitimate so please forgive any mistakes showing.)

Just testing something
Edit..didn't work. :cry:

True.
As far as I'm aware the Munches are a social get-together rather than a shag-a-thon, so it's all welcome.
And if you do happen to pull then all the better. wink

BTW :welcome: to SH wave

marya beat me to my point.... the very wise woman! biggrin

:D :D
munches are social events so what would be the point of excluding people...
mind you i suppose if you only wanted to talk to other couples at them then that would be your decision..... people may find that decision in itself is anti-social...
why limit the amount of types of friends you have..... just because you are friends with people you may not want to take it further and they may not want to take it further with you either....
"A stranger is a just a friend you haven't met yet!!!"
is that they way you choose your friends........ i think not....

Why should there be a couples-only Munch - it's supposed to be a social event not a fuckfest. How anti-social is it to exclude half (if not more) of the swinging population?

I've confered with The Long Haired One and she agrees lol

If somebody decides to organise a couples only munch then there'd be a couples only munch. I haven't heard of anybody thinking of arranging one though.
The main thing that makes the munches so popular is meeting other people off the site. I'm a single guy and there were lots of people I was looking forward to meeting at my first munch, including a lot of other single guys guys. It's not just an extension of the ads section for you to show yourself off to future sex partners, it's a social evening.
To use your parlance "please don't take offence" but having only made one post you probably wouldn't get invited anyway.

Steve,
You sound offended,why?..I didn't have to put 'please don't take offence'.
I asked the question on behalf of my partner who has been 'pestered' by single blokes at a few clubs we have visited.

16 Jun 2004

Think the point has been well made - you seem confused about the definition of a Munch.
As others have said here it's NOT a play meet, it's a social gathering with others of like mind only. Usually held in a pub/public place it's a chance to chat, drink, chat and fall over things. No need for a couples only thing.

i think steve answered your question.... a club is a completely different atmosphere.. i am sorry that your wife has been pestered by single blokes in clubs... i would tell the management of the clubs you are going to...... if i see it happening as i single bloke i tell the guys to back off.......

Very well put Jags,all of the munches that i have attend have been great social gatherings with the WHOLE of our community represented.
If Lainy thinks shes going to be pestered to death by single guys,i think she is very sadly may,in your presence get engaged in a conversation with a single guy who may introduce himself to you both.

oooohh - I've never actually been to a munch - but am looking forward to the next one in Edinburgh (blatant plug - its the 24th July) mostly just to get together with some like minded folk - male, female, singles or couples not really bothered although if there are any other girlies going I'd love to here from them lol

Can't see the need for a couples munch though I can understand why have folk have couples only parties - bit different at a social though.
As for Steve being offended well I have to say one of my favourite bits of SH forum is steveg_nw's slightly exasperated air - I have never met or spoken to the man but I can almost hear the sighs coming out of his posts - and I find it quite delightful - :lol:

Not offended but as celticq says maybe a little exasperated. There are a lot of singles on this site that help to make it what it is yet some people still want to exclude them. I can understand that in a swinging situation but not necessarily a social one.

*wondering if he'll get the chance to put his exasperated air on celticq's g-string in Edinburgh on the 24th

I'll always remember the Midlands Munch as the one where I met Harry, Carpathian, Artifcer, and Judy face to face (and in one case, lip to lip...) for the first time. If a couples-only social event excludes people like them, it's going to be so much poorer for it.
I understand a desire to restrict parties to couples. That's a very different environment, and people go for very different reasons. But I beg you, please keep the munches open to all.

No worries there about the NW one. I'm a single guy and Vicky_uk is a single girl so there's no way we're gonna organise a munch that we can't go to!! rolleyes

I would have to agree with you there DJohn, I spent as much time talking to single guys as I did couples.... It was a fantastic evening and gave us all chance to meet some wonderful people...
It's a chance to make friends and then once you read posts/chat in the chat room to the people you have met, you then start to see/hear them instead of reading....
The people that organise them worship

spend ages ensuring that there are genuine people attending and that everyone is aware that it is purely a SOCIAL gathering....

Having the upper hand so to speak over celticq as I have met you, I can tell you that I can hear them..... lol

:lol: :lol: But like I said, thats because I have met you..... wink

If there's gonna be a couples-only munch, maybe we should have a single-males-only munch too! C'mon, it'd be cool... we could gather round the bar and swap our best tips for making our cock-pics look humongus, and the most effective ways to do a/s/l in the chatroom...

I couldn't agree more. A munch was the first thing MR RSAB2 and I attended and we had a great time just meeting people and putting faces to names. You won't get pestered, by singles or couples you can just get to know people. You'll see!

A couples-only munch would be as absurd as a couples-only pub, or a couples-only supermarket, or a couples-only bus... rolleyes

When you smile.... i will know you finally got a shag.
When you are scared.... i will take the piss every chance i get.
When you are worried..... i will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be then you can shut the fuck up.
When you are confused.... i will use little words to explain it to you, you daft git.
When you are sick.... stay away from me until you feel better, i don't want to catch it.
When you fall.... i will point at you and laugh.
This is my oath.... i pledge it to the end....why may you ask...

Having been to several munches (and being a munch organisers widower for a couple of months) I would like to add my opinion to this one.
quite simlpy we have met socially some really great single people at the munches, and one or two really scary couples. So just cos there's two of em, doesn't make them better / nicer people.
But of course those couples looking for a single person to befriend for a later date may also wish not to attend if singles were not welcomed.

right that is it!!! evil

i DEMAND a single fem only much! :shock:
it will be held in the local phone box! rolleyes

:P

On the other hand, if people want to organise and attend a couples only gathering, there's nothing to stop them, and it wouldn't make any difference to the general munches as long as the dates don't clash. Live and let live. biggrin

Not thinking of gate crashing(moi squeeze into phone box full of women?) , err but where is this phone box .Honest I was only going give you a call and see if you need any more cheese nibbles and paper hats :roll:

Well weve not been fortunate to get to a munch yet,but when we do manage it(one day!)I would want to meet everyone,not just couples but EVERYONE,it'd be great to actually see what your all like(maybe a little scary perhaps) :shock:
But its a community in here for likeminded people be they couples or singles,male or female.

Your right Ice but speaking as half of a couple, that is not the type of munch we would want to attend.
Not only would I wonder what the motives were but I want to meet people socially no matter what their status is. I can think of so many single people that I've had the pleasure of meeting and wish to continue meeting.
Nah, a munch is a social for all, anything else just isn't a munch in my book sad

hi all, and mike above long time no chat smile

having enjoyed our 1st ever munch a couple of months ago, it was great to finally put names to faces, and to chat socially have a drink and a good laugh, we were very nervous as we walked into the venue, as we did not know what to expect, but we were assured by mal that this isnt and wasnt going to be a free for all. we were very surprised at the friendlyness of all people there, people made us welcome, and we are newbies to the site.
granted some people probably did get lucky that night, but that wasnt the point of our visit to the nw munch, the point of our visit was to meet likeminded, openminded people, and we cant wait for the next munch, roll on august....
