Yes.... Thank you, thank you, thank you Chocyknob but this is not really what we wanted!
I think you will find that most of us are only too well aware of the predominance of men seeking women ads but have learned to ignore them and get on with trying to form friendships, meets, relationships etc. through the forums.

Hi folks - right pubs in the Dam! Where do you start?
Depends what you want really. The Luxemburg is a good old fashioned Dutch bar and there are plenty of good bars on the Zee Dijk at the end of the red light area. Within the redlight area itself there are also some good traditional bars apart from the Old Sailor.
Muligans Irish Bar is good for live music if you like that sort of thing.
To be honest with you, I live outside Amsterdam and therefore only know the well known places. I do however know where good bars are and if people want a bit of a pup crawl on Friday night then we can meet up and decide what sort of thing you are looking for - wether that be traditional Dutch, live music, ex-pat, new chic etc.
I would be happy to meet up at a central location/ boring bar that everyonr can find and take you walk about after that.

Take it easy Johnno - chill out or whatever the phrase is!
This is NOT an immediate "lets have a shag" site.
You need to get known, prove that you are genuine and want to be part of the site and then you will be invited to the local Munch.
Keep posting, join in, and if if need be look for a mentor to help out.

I was afraid that all was not right!!!
Maybe we should establish first just who is going to be in Amsterdam and when?
The original meeting place is as good as any and is fairly central but if anybody wants other ideas or any information from me then let me know and I will find out whatever I can.

There is a supposedly Dutch delicacy known as bitterballen (no cheap laughs please!) which consist of some sort of chicken/mushroom gloop in a ball like croquette.
These are then deep fried and served with a dish of mustard and a few cocktail sticks, the idea being that you dip the bitterbalinto the mustard and immediatley stick it into the mouth.
There are however a number of problems. Being deep fried they are extremely hot and being fried gloop it is impossible to eat them in one go cleanly. The bloody things also slide down the cocktail stick as well so you end up with a mouthful of boiling hot gloop, and burnt fingers as the rest of the stuff drips out and falls onto your hand. For those of you coming to Amsterdam, please note that I do not recommend these.
The other great Dutch delicacy is of course raw herring!!!
Here, the raw fish is served up with a dish of raw onion. The consumer picks up raw fish by the tail, dips it into the onions and then while tilting the head back eats the whole thing in one go. The remaining piece of tail is then discarded onto the bar or into an already full ashtray.
Now some people like this but after dreaming anout snogging the gorgeous Dutch girl on the other side of the room you then see her eat a raw fish with raw onion, it really is a bit of a turn off.

:xPersonally I think the idea of official Munches is good as it offers the newbies and less experienceced members of the site the opportunity to dip their toes in the water in a supposedly safe and controlled manner. If the Mods are put-upon at these events that is wrong - it is up to the organisers to run the Munch event and let the Mods run the forum/chatroom.
Maybe Munch organisers need to be site approved? That way the conduct of the munch could be controlled.
If folk want to have non-munch meets aswell then why not? As far as I am concerned I would not even try to be invited to a private party unless I had met the persons previoulsy or thought I knew them well enough through the site (which to be honest in umlikely).
Consequently, I support the official munches and look forwrd to attending them in a controlled manner - after that who knows what I may or may not want to do?

Yet again daveJ has asked a deeply worrying question.
While I recognise the difficulties one may experience in having one's knees placed in the standard format, I think that not enough thought has been given to having knees in the non-standard format.
Firstly, acceptable and indeed enjoyable sexual practices employing the well known "kneeling down" position would be somewhat difficult to achieve. The standard "69" position for example would involve a plethora of feet in the wrong places.
Secondly, cars would need to be redesigned with the pedals underneath the present seating positions.
Thirdly, the entire olympic games athletic programme would need to be changed to include sprintinting/relay races going backwards. While I do not doubt the obvious crwod pleasing advantages to this I feel it it a trad extreme.
So,sorry daveJ we must remain happy with what we have despite the obvious disadvantages of normal joints.

Hi - and welcome to the asylum
I do not often answer new people - simply because there are so many - BUT I do remember those that answered me and very grateful I was that they did!
So what should you do?
Tell us more about yourself and where you are from and what you are after - that at least gets you in contact with the people you want to meet. Be honest and open - people here can spot a waste of time a mile off!
Apart from that, join in, be prepared to have the piss taken out out you, and enjoy yourself.

Well you know, Sunday Telegraph reader (I want the country to be run the way it was years ago etc.) and yes we had a showing of Airplane in the Old Farts home this afternoon.
It was very enjoyable, but the Major got a bit upset and Mrs Mc started to join in with the nun's singing but after Matron sorted us all out it was all OK.

Well I'm glad I am not the only one who is horrified that some folk are horrified about having sex three timesa week!
At least it started a discussion.
As it is Sunday, sex is of course completely out of the question for McC tonight (I will unlock the swings for the kids tomorrow ) and we will return to the piano and sing some more hymns with the Dutch Reform Church.

The headline in todays's Sunday Telegraph - that bastion of fair and honest reporting is that "Women bypass sex in favour of instant pregnancies".
It goes on to say "Some people are horrified by the idea of having to have sex three times a week".
Now I do realise that this about people trying to get kids, but really - being horrified about having sex three times a week? On a personal basis I would be more than happy to have sex three times a week! Indeed when younger my average was greater than that!
I can not believe that the good people here on SH are "horrified" by the idea of a shag more than three times/week.
But there again I may be wrong - maybe you are all friday/saturday night guys and are horrified as well!
