Just wanted to have a little rant and rave about something which really bugs me with people who post adverts and posts on the lets meet up forum, when people say that they are looking for someone, do they wait until they get to see the person, then, tell them that they are not what they are looking for, it is a little unfair, it just gets a guys hopes up only to have them dashed because they ain't some brad pitt lookalike, if a guy has the tackle, then what is the problem ?
I have had this done to me twice now and it is very frustrating, it is like dangling the proverbial carrot and should not be allowed.
So, people, if your going to ask for a guy to join you, be considerate and at least state your after someone who looks like George Clooney or Brad Pitt please, don't give guys false hopes.
Ooooooo, tough one that my friend, and twice surprised
Did you not have verbal contact first, I would have thought that would have given the other party a feeling about you, you know, sense of humour, description of size/colour if that was an issue?
We are new at this, and have yet to get anyone to speak to us on the phone, just picture collectors many of them I think.
Better luck soon.

Kry I know you're upset hunnie, but you can't seriously believe that if someone places an add they should have to play with whoever responds.
If you're going to swing you have to accept rejection, but try not to take it personally. It isn't necessarily about looks, it's about how you get on, how you come across in your ads.
It can also be just simply who you "click" with - and there's no way of knowing that when somebody is writing their criteria for an add.
Chin up.
Hi
I think it is you who is being a little unfair.
I think you will find that most Swingers, not all, but most, need there to be some form of sexual attraction before they will consent to play.
Just because we are Swingers, doesn’t mean that we have no human emotions, attractions or dislikes the same as anyone else. And if you have only been turned down twice and are moaning already, you may want to think about if the lifestyle is really for you.
I have chatted to guys who have been turned down dozens of times and have taken it on the chin because they understand that everyone’s tastes vary, not everyone goes for the same looks or more importantly (to us anyway) personality.
Stick with it. As the old saying goes, there’s someone for everyone, only in this lifestyle, more so. :twisted:
Good luck wink
I can understand that, but, I got nothing but, "sorry, bye" from the people who I spoke to, they didn't even give me the chance to chat to them and get a rapor going, which is the side of things I am peeved at, fair enough if they made the attempt to get to know me and felt that I was not what they wanted after that, but, to just see my photo then decide that I am not what they want, well, a little unfair I thought.
What has Brad Pitt and George Clooney got to do with it?....i gather you met up with them?....and it was then they said thanks but no thanks....perhaps they were embarrassed and wanted to leave straight away instead of wasting your time aswell as theirs.

No babe ............. its not unfair its life !!!
You walk into a pub and see someone who is looking at you .......... you dont like the look of them .......... so you dont look again !!
No difference to placing an ad and people deciding from your picture that you are not what they want !
For some you will be what they want .......... but you cant expect that to be the response everytime
kiss

hey like blonde say thats life ,would you swing with some one that you did not like the look of,maybe if you already met up in a pub could of sat down and had a drink ,in reality think we would of,and maybe told you straight away that your not what we are looking the fem part thought no that not for me and wanted to go straight away to avoid feeling guilty of setting up the meet,pics dont always show the person and do them justice .take it on the chin ,there are a lot of single males that aint had a meet even yet that start the winge threads ,keep trying and good luck :
mate i think you hit the nail on the head cool

You've hit the nail right on the head there, something many would do well to remember! That's why replying to ads or posts is hard work - it's often difficult to be sexually attracted to a hastily taken snap on a digicam. "nail on the head" been said twice now mm looks like its " mc hammer time "remind us of being in a swing club seen it loads of times and been on the end of some the things,sat next to cpl one night ,heard a male of one cpl ask the fem of the other cpl "wanna go to room for fun"the fem replyed with a no thanks ,the male asked why, howay why ask why ,take it on the chin saves the embarrsment, or playing in a room and getting touched without gettiing asked ,has happened to the mrs ,got to be some spark there ,not just the looks you have to gel with some one ,theres a lot of ppl think swinger should swing with every one .
u r not using your avatar photo r u ???? lol
just looked at yr profile -not a lot 2 go on there!!!
we always invite single guys 4 a no strings drink in a pub 1st -its too hard to decide 2 swing with someone from a couple of emails and a couple of pics
had 2 no shows this week so what r we doing wrong?

well from them legs hun ,not a lot ,if its single males that aint turned up ,could be some 1 who just wanted a look ,like a pic collecter in life lol,keep trying defo think you will get what your looking for biggrin
Are you using an accurate face pic, or even sending a face pic before meeting? We met with one guy who had used a pic that was about 10 years old and he looked completely different. No we didn't take things further.
We would usually stay for a few drinks even if it was obviously a no go. I am not sure if that is because we are polite, or we just like booze. Maybe it is a bit of both.
At least you are being invited to meet couples, so it seems you are half way there. If you have a "I demand sex" attitude it will scare people off. Well, it would scare us off.
The polite, friendly and non-pushy atitude is probably best.
We have met with couples who didn't want to play with us. We instead became their friends.
So are you a Red Dwarf fan? (Looking at your avatar)

Kry, we all have the right to a choice - there will come a time when you meet up with someone and you just know they're not what you want. The people you have met were actually being honest and considerate, even though they disappointed you. Don't know about you, but I would hate the thought that someone I was "playing" with was just going through for the sake of it, or because they felt too scared to say no thanks. Think about it.
Mike.
As usual, Judy is spot on. wink
We only ever meet guys socially.
We've used both the ads and forums and had great results. 69position
Without exception, they've all bullshitted about something. dunno :dunno:
Maybe a bit of honesty might get you somewhere? :shock: :shock:
sorry but i have got to say...what a bloody stupid post :!:
are you seriously saying if i posted a add saying i was looking for a single guy in his 30's of avarage build that means i should meet every single guy in his 30s of avarage build that contacts me?
they are just starting points of course your going to say no if you don't fancy them after seeing a pic :shock:
what you supposed to do? meet them anyway just cause you spoke to them and 'got their hopes up'?
dear oh dear i dunno lol
we all get turned down love its all part of swinging

Kry, no offence mate but if you have an eraser head like your pic shows. I don't think you will get many takers. Only joking! I know it must be really frustrating and I can see your position. But I can see it from the other side as well. If there is no attraction (physical) then how can they be expected to jump into bed? I know I couldn't do it

Oh come on. Everyone has a preference on looks if they have a wide choice, just accept that you weren't theirs like a grown up swinger and not a sulky boy! If you advertised for a couple and had 30 responses, would you jump into bed with every one of them just because they had "the tackle" - no, you'd choose!
Am i dreaming this? :shock:

Unfortunately not, 'Dipity confused
I wasn't going to post on this one, but I've changed my mind......................so if what I say offends anyone, sorry, but I have a right to my opinion.
I'm 4 ft 10, I'm tiny, and I really can't cope with huge guys............over-weight huge I'm talking about. So should I really be expected to suffer discomfort and no enjoyment whatsoever just because some guy has answered one of my posts for a meet? I make it quite plain when I post for a meet that I'm small and am only looking for a certain size and build of guy. If the bloke then lies, and mis-leads me..................are you really suggesting I should go through with it anyway? Will I fuck!!! Just because I choose a swinging lifestyle doesn't make me fair game to every bloke with a cock...............it's MY body, and I'll share it with whoever I choose.
As a single guy, admittedly one who meets people at clubs, rather than by replying to Ads, I’ve got to agree with the majority of responders on here. If there’s no physical attraction, it just isn’t going to happen, and no-one should need to even consider apologising for taking a decision not to continue the contact if its not right.
Unfortunately the post doesn’t even get an intellectual debate going, because as soon as the phrase " If a guy has the tackle, then whats the problem" appeared we all realised that heres someone with no clue as to why he is getting nowhere, when its clear to everyone else exactly why he isnt succeeeding, and i guess with that attitude, it isnt just down to looks.
There are two sides to this scenario. The willing new responder and the advertisers, usually the 'couple'. Both with expectations and the ability to offend and be offended.
However consider things at the other end of the wedge. That is when you decide to turn down the advertisers. Things tend to become a bit more lairy all round. There is often a greater expectation from the advertisers for the responder to fulfil his/her part, once they have decided it suits them.
There should be no problems with either side wishing to get out at any time if there is growing unease and lack of enjoyment.
So in your haste to get some experience don't forgt your right to your own space.

The rest of your post was very good Lissa but I think this one line puts it all into perspective.
I cant believe that in this day and age that anyone would seriously think that just because someone was on a swingers site that they would just automatically jump into bed with just ANYONE BECAUSE THEY HAD THE TACKLE mad

How good to hear you say this (whether it's politeness or the booze lol). I've made friends in the past in the same way. I always state up front that I like to take things one step at a time and something only happens if everyone wants it to. If not, no hard feelings and leave things at that - nice and simple.

[His reply was “{snip}...and who the fxxx are you to pick and choose with an arse the size of yours compared to a little bit of facial hair"

He clearly had beer goggles on - a generous size 12 (if that). Some people just don't know when the going is good. biggrin
I'm new to this as a single guy and I get frustrated because i struggle to find anyone to meet or swing with. But jesus christ it's not your god given right to sleep with everybody you meet, take it on the chin like the man you claim to be and try again better luck next time and don't let it put you off smile

worship
there aint much i can add to this that hasnt already been said
but nomatter if the meeting is at the pm stage, email, phone call or personal meeting no means no everybody has the right to change there minds or decide the the person just aint pushing the right buttons confused
if you expect someone to lay down & say help yourself just because they replied to an ad you are in for a big shock :!:
even with a regular partner you dont always feel like getting down to the nitty gritty every time so why expect it witha stranger who dont know you fron adam just because you sent them a message good luck in your quest but always remember no means no whenever its said :!:
