Tune that might be interesting to read.
Eager has running the thread helped your friend in any way?
In the sense that there's been feedback from people who've experienced similar deception, yes, I think it's true to say it has.

I'm thinking of people who "play the field" with the express intention of getting into as many girls' knickers as they can, either singles or in relationships. I'm not talking about people who are self confessed players and are upfront about their intentions.
I'm referring to the types who lie, cheat, flatter and manipulate in pursuit of their objectives, seemingly with no thought or consideration for the feelings, sensibilities and emotions of their targets or feelings of responsibilty about the damage and distress they can cause to those people.
They single out newbie single females for particular attention, viewing them as a soft and easy target.
Is this what swinging is really all about? I think not.
*****Doesn't happen on here? Don't you believe it.
I've seen it happen recently elsewhere but the person responsible is here as well. I'm sure he's not the only one so be careful.
I'm very angry about this because he totally abused the trust of a friend of mine and manipulated her to serve his own selfish ends.
I did think for a long time before posting this here but I'm happy to stand up for what I believe are swinging ethics. It's all about openess and honesty as far as I'm concerned.******

i am amazed and slighlty concerned to have read that this isnt the only place this topic has been raised and that people are apparently "second guessing" who this person might be.......... scandalous when you consider that firstly.... we only have ES's viewpoint given as a 3rd party... possibly without the authority of the protaganists involved......... talk about a "witch hunt"!!!!!!
i fail to see how i myself might not have been a suspect in this scenario..........i hope i'm not......
i think the thread itself was totally wrong in principle...

I've been trying not to post further on this issue.![]()
At the end of the day if people are expected to play by certain rules (other than basic manners and respect), whether it be at a munch or in private, each person is responsible for making those rules clear. Not just the man, or the female or whatever. Men get hurt too, but does anyone feel it's worthy of a vendetta spanning two different websites?
Has the female in question (let's be honest, this is what this is all about) expressed a wish that this be turned into a witch hunt with subterfuge and whispering gossip in the hopes that the male will be ousted permanently? I can’t believe that every single person on here has never inadvertently hurt somebody. How would we all view each other if we all knew each others mistakes and secrets – however long ago they may have happened.
Whilst I am in no way discounting either of the two peoples feelings and thoughts on this matter – it should be for them to sort out.
IN EDIT: If time wasn't a great healer then there wouldn't be some people on this forum now. The stuff I was told 'privately' when I first joined. Luckily I have the strength of mind to make my own judgements of people. Let's hope others do.
And yes this was a post and be dammed moment - and I fully intend to take any stick that may come my way.

And just to show what I mean here is a pm recieved by someone not posting for the very same reason...
Not saying any names but please read....
Mike - totally agree with your post.
Certain moderators treat posters - NEW posters, usually, with such disrespect, attacking their opinion, attacking even their right to have an opinion (if, for example, they have recently come back from another site) that I feel totally unable to express any opinion which goes against the popular view.
Genuine pm from someone who does not post....

Hello again eager, nice to see you back, however i think that your approach was a little bit invitational to some criticism and was slightly verging on criticism of the site. SH has inevitably moved on since the "old days" but a few of the "lifers" are still doing the rounds and the place has settled into a great place to be again fr the most part.
We have all finally goten over the upheavel of the sale of the site and i think mentioning the fact that you "felt uneasy" saying certain things about the site was bound to ruffle a few feathers if your honest...??
best not to drag up the old "other places" and "feeling uneasy about voicing opinions (we voiced ours quite feverantly)" as this is long dead and buried.
Not having a pop tho eager, just an opinion and an observation, welcome back to SH!!

ES.....
the grass isn't always greener elsewhere... for example i could have typed the same thing about where you reside mostly now... i don't particually feel comfortable there.. and i feel happier here than "there"
but i thought that we had gotten past all this now..so why drag it all up again, the places are different and people will make the best of the situation however they see fit.....

I agree with you ES my one and only rule is that i don't meet people who are playing away tho i have found out after that i have met 2 married guys who both told me they was single, i felt that these guys totally disrespected my rules as a swinger, swinging is not about saying what evers needed to get a 'shag' its about respecting other swingers and their own personal rules and limits and if someone as a swinger says they do not do something then i expect that to be respected, other wise we are not swingers we are all just after a easy shag, the respect of other is what makes us swingers and not just quick shag seekers surely
personally have no problem with married and cheating people, even tho i would not meet them and don't agree with it but what they do is their choice, what i do have a problem with is the ones who say they aresingle just to get a meet, no matter what ur back ground is be it single, couple, married and cheating or other wise swinging is about trust and respect and if you have none of that you have no place being here

One thing I have noticed (about myself), and I'll put this in the form of a question, is this:
Why do I feel a tad insecure about expressing an opinion here about the site? Am I being silly or what?
