there seems to be a common denominator appearing through this thread etc,that theres a divide between forum,/ ads and chatroom users,
its been mentioned people who use the ads section are ungenuine,people in the chatrooms are the quick shag bridgade and the people in the forum are the genuine swingers, perhaps a poll is needed to find if this is correct, surely you're not trying to impose an ads / a forum all swinging heaven has given us the 3 mediums to find what we are all searching for.

*copying and pasting from my pm box, i'll be back in a minute, just for clarification of exactly what I said *
I say 'kinda' lol
i'm not sure about this one - the repeat posts such as 'should i shave?' etc drive me mad - i dont read them usually let alone post on them, cos its all been done before.
A FAQ section might be helpful - but it would stop the interaction between newbies and more experienced members, which is not a good thing.
'wading in feet first' posts also work as an excellent guide as to whether someone's really thought about this, spent time reading and lurking and finding out it all works and getting familiar with the site generally as well as the lifestyle.
but as I've argued many times before, often they're crap posts that someone types off the top of their head quite literally as a way of joining in, trying to start conversation or a bit of interaction - especially the 'can you help me' type posts. Sometimes any interaction at all is better than none, and unless you post something, 'we' dont even know they're here dunno
but it still irritates me - but what irritates me more is when someone simply replies saying 'the search button is your friend' - like that's suposed to help (which is different to using the search button yourself and posting the links for them to read) wink

in my mind there's a difference bewteen a 'social' and a mini munch

Only difference is the fact that non SH members can go to a social and they cant to a munch/mini munch
as there is between a social and pre fuckfest drinkies in a pub.

Social is no play pre fuckfest drinkies is still a social in my opinion as there would be no play again dunno
I personally have a problem with something that's billed as a 'social' but the organiser has an ad running on the same day, in the ads section welcoming any single blokes, bi guys and TV's to come along to the social.

I have never seen that and the organiser should have a serious slap for doing it... That is not acceptable at all
But if the correct terminology was used and clarity given in the first posts, we wouldnt even need to, imo.

I haven't honestly seen a thread where is wasn't clearly set out from the beginning what the munch/social/party was all about.... dunno
as the quote about social in forum plus add running same day seems aimed at us, can you please confirm socials are only for couples ,as we 've not read that anywhere? so am confused why we can't invite single guys (as well as couples) whatever there sexual preference to a drinks only social meet with no promise of afters fun?
Aside from anything else in this thread, I'm gonna answer this one.
Socials are not just for couples, they're for anyone (other than banned members) at the organisers discretion. My issue with this one in particular is that, in my opinion, you overstepped the organisers discretion mark by running an advert in the ads section inviting people to the 'social' as an extension of the LMU thread - and effectively opened up that 'social' to people you dont know, have no idea who they are, and some of those, who - again in my oppinion, wouldnt know what the word 'social' means if it bit them on the ass. I saw the wording of that advert, I'm just sorry I didnt copy and paste it, or more importantly, report it. Maybe it was a 'wording' issue, maybe I read it with a particular slant, who knows, but it wasnt simply about letting people know that socials are not just for couples, was it.
The rest is in your pm box, seeing as we're doing the happy clappy nicey nicey thing in public.

...If it wasn't handled right then yeah it could make the females feel like a piece of meat...
If the 2 guys was talking and said... "tell you what, you have my woman tonight and we will have yours tomorrow" ....
Shaz x

thats the angle i meant luv, i've seen it done.
I acknowledge that what you're (and NN) talking about is a mutually convenient and positive arrangement for you but i've seen it with others when its not quite so positive wink
i know you're talking about a mutual arrangement thing NN & Shaz.... but i gotta say I still really dont like this passing about like shes a piece of meat to share idea confused
what's next, a rota system?

David & Tracy
I can understand your desire to find a Bi Female, but try and understand what the Bi females are looking for as well.
Celestria has given you a link to a very inciteful post and it's worth reading if you have the time.
As another member who joined as a Single Bi Fem (or SBF) I'll give you an idea of how I used to use this site. Yes this is only my opinion and I fully accept this does not apply to everyone.
In the beginning I found that as soon as people saw my SBF label they would pm me not knowing anything about me or caring about my looks/personality just because I was "the ellusive SBF".
I was also nervous and safety conscious of meeting people on my own.
I then got into the social/munch side of the site and found this suited me more as I'm a much better judge of character in person than on line and I felt I was meeting people in a safe environment.
What I was able to see when I met people was how they would talk to me half interested and then ask who I was with. When I said I was single all of a sudden there's a spark in their eye and they ask "Are you Bi".
All of a sudden they're handing off my every word like I'm thw most interesting person in the universe. I have to say I found it extremely off putting and wouldn't shag them if my life depended on it.
Now the other thing I always do if someone contacts me is:
Check out their profile
Check out the pics
Check out the ads
Check out their posts
You seem like a really nice couple, put bearing in mind your time on the site and the posts you've made regarding SBFs. Some of them are practically ads. You could easily be pigeon holed into the "we want an SBF now - anyone will do" category and to many of the girly's it's extremely off putting.
Having said all that I sincerely hope you find what you're looking for :thumbup:

believe it or not I am really pissed off with posting at the mo, cos i just feel a bit banghead banghead banghead :taz: (lol) and you've just said what I would have said near on word for word :thumbup:
thanks!

Darkfire, I've pulled up my own social because I'm beginning to think this discussion isn't actually achieving anything

worship
it's not intended to achieve anything other than to highlight a few issues - not in my mind anyway, but I do think its worthy of discussion. Imo (and I think the whole point of this thread) is that it should be very clear in the first post of a thread what it is that people are putting their names down for - the one I used was not a great example - but does show how one newbie has instantly picked up the wrong terminology - in my mind there's a difference bewteen a 'social' and a mini munch - as there is between a social and pre fuckfest drinkies in a pub. Obviously others dont see that difference dunno
I personally have a problem with something that's billed as a 'social' but the organiser has an ad running on the same day, in the ads section welcoming any single blokes, bi guys and TV's to come along to the social. That in my mind is not a social, and shouldnt be billed as such - regardless of wether its (to start with) drinkies in a pub. All people attending should be on a viewable guestlist and not picked from the ads section to come join the action - there should be no 'action' associated with anything that's called a social. And that's where my arguement stems from - so, while it may not achieve anything I still think people attending munches, mini-munches, socials, parties and god knows what else, should simply be aware of what they're getting into - and yes, if you're not sure, ask. But if the correct terminology was used and clarity given in the first posts, we wouldnt even need to, imo.
I know I am being really pedantic now, but just as a little example (and I have plenty more of these, I've also been guilty of it myself)
The XXXXX social
Note: This social already advertised at another location.... (therefore its a social)
To be held in a pub close to central Bristol ...We will have use of a private function room which cannot be seen from the public areas but must use the bar in the main pub for drinks. Toilets are also shared with the main bar but are directly outside of the function room so you do not have to cross the public area. Please use your common sense to dress appropriately for the venue. (its a social)
Although this is classed as social we intend to make this as much of a mini Munch atmosphere as possible. (and here's where the problem starts)

hi XXXX would love to attend the mini munch

see what I mean ? dunno banghead

Quote by Dollyminx
I have two phobias, one is people wearing masks... full face masks give me the creeps!!!

its those full face rubber gimp/ fetish masks that really make my skin crawl - i dunno if i'm 'scared' of them as such, but I certainly dont like them, especially the ones with zip mouths and little tiny eyes holes *shudders*
have no idea what my reaction would be if someone came near me wearing on of those, they freak me out enough in pics so i doubt it would be a pleasant reception lol lol
dunno if there's anything else i'm actually scared of dunno - but heights is my main phobia :scared:
the quick-shag brigade are out in force & LMU's gone into overdrive rolleyes , maybe its the weather,.....
but whatever it is, stop it smackbottom

Quote by Tania
...If you read back to my first post on this thread, I asked for ideas about a possible swinging cruise. It is all in the conception stage, still; it is not even down on the planning board....
You have rightly mentioned that the people would have to know each other and feel confident with each other. Well, we have the time to get to know each other, I believe....
...As for guaranteed action, I am sorry, nothing in this life is guaranteed, except death and taxes.....
aside from anything else - the point you're missing here is that you're planning a 'swingers cruise' to which people need to pay a guestimate figure of 3 grand. I might be wrong, but I'd assume people would want thier money's worth. There will be a certain expectation, 11 people on a boat that's been marketed as a swingers cruise is not going to be a social event.
And true, I have only been to one social so far but I think it is irrelevant. It is like telling a couple about to get married that they have not attended many weddings themselves, therefore they are not qualified to organise their own and cannot hope for success under the circumstances...
True Tania, I'll give you that - but a swingers cruise when only a couple of weeks ago you were just dipping your toe into the swinging scene?? dunno
So please, let us stick to constructive criticism, if criticism be necessary. I wanted ideas, input, advice, help. Telling me it cannot happen is not helping me.
You posted your idea- you'll get responses - both negative and positive. Its a forum, you cant control that like its a boardroom meeting. People have opinions, and will give them. Its the nature of the beast. Sorry.
Sorry, I'm still not buying it. lol
I know in my mind what I feel is a 'Social' (for example - Mal's birthday drinkies) and what isnt (drinks in a pub before a fuckfest)
maybe that's because I usually know the organiser and know how 'things are usually done' ?
I also know when, depending on who posts it, 'after-party' means a social continuation of drinking, general chat and laughs back at someones house, and when 'after-party' means going back to someones house to play. I know who has designated 'play' rooms for those who want to, and who's house rules stipulate no play at all. So if a particular person is organising an after-party, I know what to expect, even if it just says 'after-party. Ya know?
In the same breath, I also know who organises 'socials' and runs ads at the same time advertising for people to come along 'for the action', I know who organises their list so there's significantly more single males than couples/ single fems, and in my mind, that speaks volumes as to wether a particular fuction is 'purely social' or not, and what the atmosphere will be.
Maybe I am naive Les, but if i put my name down for a "Social", I expect everyone else there to understand what 'social' means too. I do not expect to have someones hand on my ass or people expecting a snog hello. I expect to be able to turn up and it not feel like a cattle market, and to not have to need to say 'no thanks I'm just here to socialise'.
i havent been to a Social or Munch yet where I've experienced it, but i do have concerns about some of the more recent stuff that's been in LMU. And while we're recommening newbies to 'get themselves known and get to a social' I think we need to bear it in mind. dunno
Quote by Cossie
