Hi
I know this is a late addition but chatroom went down so browsed forums n found this thread!
Furby.. I so agree with you about being single, sometimes it sucks when you need a hug, or for the 'last dance' to feel special. But then there's the times when you hear/see couples arguing and you think TF that Im single!!! Is it really worth the grief?
I had always wondered about swinging, the idea always excited me but never had the guts to follow that.... Until I met someone who chewed me up & spat me out over 2yrs. He hurt me badly. I couldn't bare the thought of bein hurt again so decided to swing casually at clubs---go in, get fucked, leave--- it worked for a while but over a year on I too miss certain things that one special person brings. Im still excited by swinging but feel I should wait a while to see if I can find a partner 'that fits' and hopefully continue swinging with him. It'll make going home afterwards a little less lonely cos I'd have someone to re-share it with & make it a more positive experience.
And Chaotic... A singles night?... I'd certainly be up for that. Maybe I should look into organising one????

since living with gary its made the going home bit lovely........we both used to hate seperating to go home at the end of an evening, we used to prolong the nite by going to motorway service area for a drink after going to chams or social etc

Need help you know where my mailbox is biggrin
Now I have read this thread (I hadnt seen it before) I have more of an idea where the other thread in the lets meet up is coming from.
The first post in the other thread obviously makes alot more sense to the folk who have read this one through than it does to someone who is attached but plays alone and just happened upon a soon to be arranged singles social and then discovered they were not the right type of single.
This thread is very informative about how many people feel that are not couples and I can empathise with alot of the feelings as I have felt that way even whilst IN a marriage (albeit not this one).
It seems that maybe a link to this thread or info on where it could be found (as I tried the link that H posted and it didnt work)instead of the eye rolling responses that were given could have saved alot of misunderstanding and ruffled feathers in my opinion.
i hope i havent started a bad feeling debate.... i was only being selfish.. on my part.. on wanting someone for me that i can swing with.... with me.. oh dear...... im sorry for anybother...xx

Definitely not kiss all debate is good. Its character building and sorts the wheat from the chaff. Keep up the good work with the poems :rose:

Hey Furby..
Yes your thoughts have led to Chaotics suggestion of a singles night and my subsequent Thread re organising one but you have not caused any bad feeling...
Having never opened a thread about something like this before I was inexperienced in those type of reactions I got. I never thought to include a link to this thread for people to get a better idea of why we should have one. But I had to start somewhere. I have tried to stay strong & fair reading all the posts but have come very close to saying 'sod it'. Its always the one who tries to help openly with something that gets 'shot' so to speak lol Still, I have decided to try and have a venue sorted. Will post when details finalised later this week. Just have to try and say the right words so as not to cause such greif this time.
I hope it works out for us all anyway xx
My dear furbs,
As another singleton, I couldn't agree with you more on this thread. It gets so tiring after a while when guys seem to not be able to hold a decent conversation with you - or WANT to hold a decent conversation with you - simply because this is a swinging site. I feel completely like you at times...I'm a swinger through and through, but I miss the 'in between' bits at times...
My only concern with a 'singles' night is that (and perhaps this is my cynical side speaking out) it will attract more of the same calibre of folk just looking for that one off shag for the nite. Maybe not a bad idea? Maybe against of grain of a repeat playmate? I dunno... Discuss. x
PS. LOVE YOU :-) (((((((((((furby))))))))))))

We can only 'suck it & see' lol lo
Bless ya Minxie -
I only just read the hoards of posts relating to this in the Meets section of the forum.
Bottom line is, as a single lady *cos I know on the Meets section, it was noted that there wasn't a big response from the ladies*, you have my full support, and I will be in attendance when and if I'm in the country at the time of the social/munch/meet/etc. I'm afraid I'm emigrating at the end of this month, so best luck with it all!!!

We're not all hump and run merchants you know, just because i'm not looking for a girlfriend/partner etc doesn't mean i'm not interested in the people i meet. I probably chat to people on here more than my vanilla friends

We can only 'sucklo/color]a great philosophy biggrin
Hiya Furby,
You'll be surprised the number of guys out there happy to swing casually as a couple, or is that the causal F-buddy couple without the demands of being a proper couple (speaking for myself)
However everytime I suggest "fuck buddy" people think "so you can get your leg over whenever you want without comiting anything serious?" so I stay single (cant say if better than being a couple, but I know where I stand and so do others... the main downside being if I'm not playing, I'm not shagging. Lol).
As for a singles social, I thin its a good idea - start small as a trial run to see wha happens, maybe witha few people you already know (which eliminates me I'm afraid and build it up a bit onhe second go. That way you ge a good vibe for who you MAY be interested in meeting up with more than a handful of times without it beign a relatuonship.
... I dislike one-off meets: "shag and go" doesn't do it for me.. its like licking a chocolate muffin but not being allowed to bite it.
Lol.
Hey Ahabs smile
Of course even a first social would be open to you.
If they began with only people we already knew then all we'd do is chat about the other single people we'd like to meet lol
Im sure a lot of singles hope to achieve a 'special friend' that thinks along their own similar lines at some stage, wether its a FB or a future spouse. Being a swinger doesn't have to mean 'fuck n go'.
But until we find people that are similar to us we'll just plod along as usual.
I hope you'll come along :)

lol its easy when you have no vanilla friends, think only have 3 left :shock:
To reiterate what the boys above have said, its very true, there are very few of the males i have met on this site and elsewhere that are the shag n go merchants, it could be just my selection process, but its rare its happened to me where i havent seen or at least chatted with them again, even if the play element hasnt come back into it, quite a few of them have become friends and one or two are very special to me.
I met someone on the site and were together over a year, but due to logistics we only saw each other once every couple of weeks so tended to spend that time together rather than with anyone else purely for that reason.
i have people closer that i go to clubs with, see on a regular basis both for play and purely for social and i love it, being single has many advantages,, i would give it time and say am sure someone will cross your path you can have fun with and go places with without them wanting to become 'your boyfriend' etc.
sorry rambling

OK, where's the real Wideboy?
you make me nervous when you agree with me lol
The "hump and run" scenario can apply to women with men as well as men with women, I know from experience sad to say.
Their choice, a good time at the time for all involved yes, but then wanting no further contact, not even a hello every now and then.
Not quite the way I'd wish it to be were it up to me but one has to respect the wishes of others too.

How did you come to that conclusion (in blue) when you've said this:

You don't use the forum much but you've made a very sweeping statement about who gets shot down. dunno
You aren't the only person to come up with the singles night idea and you aren't the first to have a thread which has been subjected to debate, both positive and negative. It's a social and you've now listened and just planned it, which is what people advised you to do - no need to ask opinions because you'd already set your criteria. Just get on and post/organise it - no need to keep going on about the debate. People will either come to it or they won't.

eh up lass tha talks some sence from time to time tha knows
Now come on you two up there play fair
Minxie did actually ask for opinions first in the locked thread in the "lets meet up" and THEN decided to plan it. THIS thread was the catalyst for the other thread starting. We came back to this one because the other one was locked (Rightly so as discussions should be in the cafe).
kiss
I think I got that right but I'm getting confused now redface
Also there were several requests to get the thread moved from LMU to the Cafe, it's not really Minxie's fault that that didn't happen, the fact that there's continued debate just means that people still wish to discuss the issue.

Firelizard,
Here here. Thanks for that. kiss
You guys... cut the lady some slack!
I'm sorry, but she obviously said that comment as a flippant statement - note the included 'LOL' smilie fgs. I don't like this clickie 'not a regular forum user' behaviour either, personally. Does it really matter if someone posts every day or once in a while...or if someone has been using the forums for a year, or a newbie? We all have to start somewhere... and the forums aren't a hierarchy, surely?
Just my two pence. WHB :rose:
I think you're very brave minxie hun & I would like to be first on your list for the social. :happy:

Who said anything about a click? Or a hierarchy? I just wonder how someone can make a statement like that when they admit that they rarely use the forum? How would they possibly be able to say that things like that happen? Which is the flippant remark? The one with a lol? Yeah, OK.
And there are people who use the chatroom who think that forum users know sod all too rolleyes

Well i have to just interject...... that i dont find the forums, or the rooms clicque.. they both have welcomed me without question and let me ramble and say crap that should be kept in my tiny mind... !! lol.. i think that everyone has an opinion and everyone is entitled to voice that opinion whether its agreed with or not..... thats the beauty of this site.. it allows either on forum or on chat to be truly yourself........
i love both
furby hugs for
Let's all remember that it's only a forum/chatroom.
I'm not going to bother to comment on it anymore, for that very reason.
Just remember to play fair.
Peace and Love.
