OK so you've been in contact with prospective durrrrty do'er(s) and things seem to be on the up and there's been some light chat bit of discussion even a social meet that sort of thing. Then you get a mail through your slot or on your phone saying "thanks but your not for me/us. Don't or wouldn't you want to know why? I know we're all grown ups in the swinging world, apparently, and we should be able to move on without a second thought but still.
We've had one or two knock backs when all seemed to be going good and we've given out a knock back or two ourselves. Well we gave a knock back the other day and the other party mailed just asking why. So dutifully we mailed back just saying that we didn't think that the meet to swing was suitable for us and that things didn't really click in that way.
OK, so maybe we shouldn't of even answered said mail but we did, just being poilte, as you do sort of thing. Lo and behold another mail, and yes I could of binned it straight away without reading, but hell I'm nosy. The mail asked why it was we thought that way and if it was anything we could think of that he/they could do that would A) change our mind, and he/they were OK about it if we didn't change our mind and B) How could we suggest that he/they change their approach to help out on future introductions etc.
We haven't mailed back yet.... lol
Apologies to all the 'normal' Brians out there but I've never f*cking met one. Every Brian I've ever met has been bloody weird, criminal, stupid or just plain horrible.
Anyone else have a name that seems to fill you with that "Here we go then" feeling when you hear it?
Definitely here, we have made friends, fine friends. Really good as the whole friendship thing can be more open in how you can express yourself and what you can talk about.
There can be a little dubiousness when involving your or their families in the friendship and its always a consideration initially but there are some friends that we now are happy to have about us and our families primarily because that's what they are is mates.
One couple we go see whenever we get chance to we call our therapists because its such a chilled time we spend with them that when we come away it feels as if the worlds a better place and we love them dearly. In fact we have quite a few special mates.
A lady who is a surrogate aunt to our kids and who has come to our aid on at least one really quite traumatic time. Another cpl who, when we lost the use of our car for a while immediately stepped in and said "We have one you can use for as long as you need too" How cool we're they, even though the guy of the couple has the sense of humour of a four year old and a sweet tooth to match. Not much I wouldn't do for these guys. These people are dear to us and along with others have made some of the most special times and memories we'll ever have.
Certainly didn't expect these friendships when we started our swinging adventures but what a bonus!
I don't know whether I'm the same or not. Guess that'd be for others to say.
Has anyone else seemed to notice in their areas that recently there seem to be a lot of new clubs opening up? I reckon within 50 miles of us at least five have opened that I know of, there's bound to be more too I bet.
On that theme does any one also notice that some profiles state that they always like to meet up for a drink and chat on a no play basis initially. Sounds fair enough until you find out they go clubbing and its away with the first meet no play and in with the wayyy heyyyy get down n dirty with people they've not previously met. Bit of a contradiction aint it.
Apart from being on TV the Olympics means less than f*ck all to most of the millions who live in GB in my opinion. Let's be honest you had to be at a certain financial level to even think about bidding for the tickets for crying out loud. Mind you it seems from the amount of corporate tickets being given out as prizes for this or that competition (for the cost of a £1 phone call of course)that the companies were the first thought by the organisers when it came to ticket sales.
I really admire the Olympians for what they do. its extraordinary, but the Olympics? I don't give a flying f*ck for the self serving big business ideal it has become.
Why do I find it so hard to post nowadays? I want to and I get halfway through a response and then sort of freeze and end up giving up. strange really as when I first started posting I felt really intimidated for some reason, dont really know why but I guess if you didn't quite get your posts right the forum could come across as a bear pit. Then, when I got my posting confidence up I multiple posted regularly every day. Now I just freeze. Frustrating.
I think its crap to be so rude about putting No single males in such a way as a lot of people do on there profiles. Its easy to just put - we are not looking for single guys so please don't inquire if you are one. - Then if they do inquire just delete and ignore it. How hard can that be.
Couldn't give up my car stereo no ma'am no way.
