I just wonder whether swingingheaven is some sort of exclusive club for couples and bi fems only. I have been coming here for nearly a year now, i'm respectful, I write more than one line, I never bother to reply unless I match what the ad says and I write out each reply according to the ad/profile rather than send a one message fits all, and yet I get no replies from people whatsoever. I am new to the scene in terms of not going on munches etc and if i'm honest I don't think i'd feel 100% comfortable meeting a couple, but I really don't know as I haven't had the chance. So I was wondering if anyone can point out to me what i'm doing wrong or am I just an ugly fucker?.
e2a: I have read the advice threads and am pretty sure I follow about 98% of the advice given.
Well, your profile is hardly overflowing with information. As a single guy you have got to really shine to stand out from the crowd.
It's tough for a single bloke, but yes it does work. I have met some brilliant people through this site. In fact my partner and I got together courtesy of SH.
Be patient, and keep trying.
Well it doesnt happen every week, but it isnt impossible, keep trying, my motto is you've got to be in it to win it.
My simple rules of engagement are, not to reply to any advert when you dont fit the criteria, even if its yoiur eye colour that is wrong.
Keep trying.
Ok heres my silly input. The few meets that I have had in my short time here and the few that I have lined up are all with people who are contributers ( not necessarily million posts regs ). Its not that I am a snob and wont talk to someone who is shy but by getting some banter back and forth either in chat or forum I already feel a little kinship with the person/couple if that makes sense as opossed to an out of the blue "hey, you wanna meet me this Saturday" from someone who I havent even read anything from. I dont mean that their chat/forum posts have to be with me but just like to read a little something outside of their profile too. You can get a little insight into sense of humor ( or lack of ) that way. Does that sound silly. Maybe I am not wording it right ... having a block between my brain and fingers today.
Ok... off to my corner now. xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Naughtynymph(o) is absolutely spot on,. I think A lot of young men get the whole swinging aspect and easy shag mixed up.
I find the majority of swingers to have higher moral codes than non-swingers, especially when it comes to a quick shag.
I disagree - I consider what I do swinging, whether it's with couples, groups or other singles. I've done my fair share of shagging around, before discovering the swinging scene, and I don't think it's the same. The important bits of the swinging scene, for me, are that I'm respected, I'm never judged, I can want what I want when I want it and no-one's going to think I'm a slut. Everyone has the same attitude to NSA sex, in other words that it's A Good Thing and you have every right to it.
The single guys I consider to be swingers have the swinging mindset, ethos, whatever, and shagging them is different to shagging some guy I pick up in a club who I don't know, have no intention of having a friendship with, will probably only shag once and won't have any kind of connection with. Of course there are singles of both sexes here just looking for a shag, and if it's working then fair play to them, but I don't consider it to be swinging.
Swinging for me isn't just any old sex, it's sex with people I know and like, which makes it different from shagging around in the vanilla world - regardless of whether the people I'm doing it with are couples, single guys, single girls or a great big group of all of them. I think it's the attitude that makes it swinging, not the combination of bodies.
