Hello all
As a single genuine, open-minded female, I posted an ad (93600), in the hope to meet other genuine likeminded guys for no strings fun in clubs, parties and on a 1-2-1 basis. I assumed that this site would be accumulate like-minded genuine guys who were looking for the same.
I have been subjected to a couple of abusive replies dictating the laws of morality and decency, as well as hypocrasy (apologies for the spelling!) in the way of do what I say and not what I do. The worst point is those guys who you spend a lot of time and effort talking to and getting to know, you go out of your way to ensure that you can attend, and then your efforts are rewarded by them not turning up. This has happened three times and I am seriously thinking what is the point?
I am interested in knowing other people's views and opinions.
Take care, have fun and enjoy life.

A photo in the ad might help. You're very strong on the guy knowing your boundaries but then try to stipulate them in the ad - be better (if it is that important to meet and discuss i would 've thought).
Just some thoughts.
Sorry to hear about your experience of timewasters Alex. Unfortunately nobody on this site, be they couple, single male, or single female, is immune from timewasters, fakers, and fantasists. I have the impression that the "Let's meet up" section and the ad section are frequented by a fair number of less than serious people. On the other hand the cafe and the chatroom have a number of regulars who are real swingers, and are intelligent, witty, and genuine. Why not dwell here a little longer?

Hi Alex.
Sorry to hear that you have been the subject of time-wasters. I find it surprising that as the room seems to be top-heavy with single males that you have had this kind of response. I can only say try not to let it put you off too much.
I am sure there are plenty of genuine single men in here for you, so I hope we dont all get "tarred with the same brush".
As they say..........persistance overcomes resistance.
Good luck in the future.
Being a swinger may not be hazardous to your health but statistically it is hazardous to the health of your close family; after all, why else would so many "swingers" encounter sudden family emergencies which are often so major that they don't even have time to cancel their engagements? (And I hope I don't sound bitter because I'm not - before I gave up 66% of people I'd arranged to meet turned up, and I think that's doing pretty well.)
In seriousness, I think time-wasters are always going to be an epidemic on sites like this. Us fellas are mostly dreamers - we like to think about sex and talk about sex but actually going out and doing sex? With someone new? With all the washing and self-grooming and nerves that entails? "No thank you", think lots of fellas, "I'm gonna stay home and watch Sky Sports News! Mum, could you wash my jeans?" I don't know how you women put up with us, really I don't.
Sorry, I was talking generally, not thinking of anyone specifically. Didn't intend to offend. I just think it's a male-culture thing. A bit like the male obsessions with "big tits" and "pencil-thin teenagers".
Hi Alex , I just read your ad . It seems straightforward enough to me , and you did not even ask for them to have an Elephant Dick grafted on .. And then you get guys complaining they get nowhere with single women . I dunno , anyway stick around here a while you are very welcome , just relax and get to know some people , and you will do that in the biblical senseas well I'm sure. I am a southern softie , so feel perfectley safe with you the other end of the country !
Alex,
I'm a single lady who has wasted hours and hours on here, and emailing, and has sat in pubs feeling totally ridiculous because of no-shows. Whenever I see postings from single guys complaining because of lack of single women and lack of responses I get really angry. I 'talk' to these guys for ages, arrange a nice, safe meet, think about what I'm going to wear, get terribly nervous and then sit there like a total prat with the 'regulars' looking at me pittyingly. I can't explain it. All they have to do is send a text/mail saying 'Sorry, I bottled it. I hadn't thought it through'.
I'm older. Sometimes they think they want the 'mature woman'. But when it comes down to it they don't want to meet where they might be seen by their mates. How does that make me feel?
The problem is they don't think. They have a fantasy in their heads of the randy, no-strings encounter but really they want a regular, nice girl, And the two just aren't reconcilable.
Sorry to be low-key but at least you know you aren't alone.
There can be a coule of reasons for no shows....
1, they never intended to meet anyways.
2, a genuine problem has arose (ill, wife wont let them out, lol)
3, the thought a a shag was good, but they wernt selective in the initial stages and now have second thoughts.
4, no string sex is actually quite dificult for a lot of people, unless fueled by many drinks at the night club! There is something different about being sober and arainging a meet with someone(s) then showing up, and worrying "will I perform," "how do we go from an initial meet to having sex" and so on... I know I get the angst and butterflys before meeting a couple or single, even when i've met them and played before, but the day I just go "ok off to shag..." is the day I stop swinging!
5, with no photo its dificult to determin what someone looks like, you get talking then finaly get a pic and decide there is no "oomph" or they are not your type... that is the hardest thing to deal with in a nice way... especially when you like the person but visually there isnt that something... I have in the past said "i'm sorry, but youre not my type" and felt like the bigest load of shit saying it, but thankfully i've remained good friends with the people I've said it to... true there was an initial awkwardness, but afterwards things have been good :-)
I'm sorry to hear about the no shows Alex, But i do agree with Mal on this one. We joined the site originally to explore our interest in swinging. This was done after great discussion. We also thought the ads would be a good way to meet likeminded people to just go out for a drink and chat with. Well, we've had 3 meets and made new friends through the ads, but, as Mal said, the best place for making friends is most definitely here on the forums. Through here, we've got to know loads of people fairly well, Clare and Steve, DreamerHelen,& Heather to name just a few!! it's an easygoing atmosphere, just like your local pub on a larger scale!! As it happens, we only look on the ads section about once a week now, and we're on the forum every night!!
And it's not just single guys that don't show up I've had couples do the same without so much as an excuse or an apology.
I can't say I've met that many people but some of those I have are now good friends and that friendship more than makes up for all the wasted effort, timewasters and no shows.
Hi Alex .. I am in the north of England and I would just like you to know that the same thing happens to genuine guys.
I have made arrangements with people, chatted on and the phone then there is no show.
It does not happen all the time but enough to be annoying.
The worst are the pic collectors who always want yours first then they will send or want "couple more" so that they can make up their mind.
I have had many meetings with genuine couples and single females so i guess it is just a matter of persevering really.
If you want a bit of moral support or more get back to me.
best wishes ... Allan
Well, only two months, actually...
Erm..did I really write "only"?
Mike.
Only three post's by you and your complaining already.
Just wait until you add has been viewed 5,000 by mostly wankers, who are just out for a quick thrill and they never intend showing up.
Better luck with your next contact.
TS
Alex....
don't listen to them... in fact i admire a single woman on sites like these because you are strong, independant and know what you want... and if the guys are that "moral" then what the hell are they doing on a site like this!!!!!!
it is that double standard thing that is my biggest bugbear!!!
and in a way it makes it harder for us genuine nice guys.......

Hi Alex,
We spoke briefly in the chatroom a few days ago. I hope that you enjoyed your holiday with the kids.
I have also had experience of timewasters but keep looking anyway.
