There is hope!

Hello to you all.
I recently became a member of SH, and I recieved some very warm and encouraging replies to my first post... so many thanks to all who took the time to say Hi.
Since then i've been keeping my powder dry and watching what has been said on the Forum, and basically getting a feel for the etiquette within the community.
One thing that has struck me is how tight everyone is (easy!), and there is a definite feeling of community which is inspiring.
At first that felt quite daunting, but I suppose it's as much up to us newbies to get involved as it is for the existing members to open up (no, missus).
The first thing i did was get myself an ad with some decent pics, and then I sat down for a good while and thought about what I really want from this, and what sort of person/s I woud like to meet. This wasn't as easy as you'd think at first, and you need to be really honest with yourself about why you're here.
I found that reading up on some of the documents in the advice section really helped with putting together my ad, and although most of it seemed like common sense, it was still useful having some kind of framework to work within.
Now, as a single guy on here I knew from that start that I would be handicapped somewhat but I now feel that my ad says exactly what I want it to, and hopefully that will mean that any reponses I get are going to be of a high quality and pretty much already qualified.
This assumption has already been tested and so far proved right. I recieved a reply from a young lady looking for an exploratory partner... she is attractive, intelligent and above all as keen as I to find out what's on offer and how far we are prepared to delve into this world. We are meeting in a few days time and i'm already tingling with anticipation.
So, what's the moral of the story?
I'm just a lucky bastard... wink

Seriously, i'd say that for all the newbies out there, don't rush into this, take your time and understand the 'ground' before deciding which path to take.
As I wrote this it reminded me of an old story about two bulls in a field on top of a hill. Below them is a field of cows gently eating the grass. The young bull spots that the farmer has left the gate open and he turns to the older bull and says... " Hey look, the gate's open, let's run down there and fuck one of those cows". The old bull looks up and says to the younger bull "no, let's walk down and fuck them all" lol

Hmm. Could be one of those chimeral species like the fabled Esquilax - that mythological horse with the head of a rabbit and the body of... a rabbit!
~Reese! surprised

P.S. to DaHamsta: Well done on your post & your ad, congratulations on the success you've had, and to the SH forums!!

Well, i'm a hamster, but I have a high profile job within the Ministry of Rodents so I wear a bunny costume in order not to be recognised... I've no idea who the other ugly git is who has hijacked my ad but he seems to enjoy digging holes which is an almost hamster like trait so he can't be all bad. smile

Thanks for all the praise guys, it just reinforces what i've said about the community aspect of the site.

great post and ad
Just one thing though, why the hell do u have to be in the south!!!
Damn just my luck sad

14 Oct 2004

What a refreshing change!!!!
Nice to have a post from someone who has bothered to take the time and has been patient. Unlike so many others who think that any ad should bring instant gratification and when it doesn't thinks we are all figments of our own imaginations!

Well, that raises an interesting point...
As I mentioned I have been sitting back, quietly deliberating on my plans for world domination... er, sorry, wrong website...
I have been sitting back, quietly researching the site, and I have come to the conclusion that southern women and southern couples seeking guys, are harder to find than Osama Bin Laden in 'Funny Hat and Beard' competition.
What's wrong with the South? Are we all repressed? City living does make you extremely insular, but then you could argue that no-holds barred, no strings attached sex would be the perfect antidote to city life.
Fair play to the North for taking the UK by the hand, leading it into the bedroom, pulling down it's trousers and spanking it into submission!
Oooh, i've come over all unnecessary... waiter, cheque please...

Well done Da! Not only have you taken the time to learn the ways and listen to the advice that's been given, but it looks like you've proved that if you do your chances of having some fun greatly increase.
Good luck on your meet. I guess we'll be keeping our fingers crossed for you. :cheers:

Wow!! What a post and ad!!! Looks like you've started as you (hopefully) mean to carry on.. I for one look forward to reading your posts... Perhaps we should make all newbies read this thread before being allowed to post!!! lol

So - if there's a South/North divide going on here - what happens to those in the Midlands. Looks lke there's a fair few on here.
And yeah - I second all the others - great post there old chap. :color:

Actually that's an interesting point. It certainly seems from the adverts that there are more females and couples seeking guys in the north than the south. It could be a thing about our personalities....southerners are in general more stand-offish than northerners I think (I know that's a sweeping generalisation so no offence intended).
Personally though I think it's just a perception thing...when you're looking for somone to reply to everyone seems to be from somewhere else or want something a little different. I bet if I lived in Manchester I'd be thinking that all the advertisers I was interested in were in Essex. Luckily for me my story is similar to yours though, I took my time, did a bit of reading and then placed an advert. Within a week I'd had a really nice reply from a very nice lady and have been having fun ever since smile

Well DaHamsta, what a bloody excellent post. biggrin

You seem to have your head screwed on and know what you want and how to get it. Good on you and the suggestion that some other newbies should read this post is so true.
Keep em coming like that hunni and you won't go wrong.

This is such high quality it deserves to be bumped up. I am glad you have made a connection. This should be read (an re-read).

P.S. Hmm. Maybe we could get DHamsta's & FlapJackBoy's bunnies together! It is a swinging site, after all.

:rotflmao:

Is this some kind of new sexual activity i'm not aware of, or a case of bad spelling? Can I expect to see 'To fLuck' on Call My Bluff in the next few months?
If fLucking is the latest thing for boys and girls (or whatever combination you prefer) to do together can someone please explain what it is, and do I need to purchase some sort of implement?
Oh and Reese, the rabbit is too nervous to try swinging... we tried dogging once and there was this 'incident' with a Jack Russell... terrible business... traumatized for life...

Yeah. I really hope your young lady doesn't turn out to be a 30 stone short fat guy with three inches of stuibble. (Unless you swing that way, I guess...)
