New riddle:
Almost everyone sees me without noticing me, For what is beyond is what he or she seeks.
What am I?

A single male standing in front of a single female at a social? lol
Occasionally, somebody will resuscitate an old post from years ago. It's interesting to look back and see who is still around ............. and how many of them have been banned! biggrin
Hello Lisa and Bob
I wasn't sure that I was free on the 25th until now. May I put my name down please?

Somebody in the SXXXXXXXchatroom said that a new site called SH had just opened earlier in the day.
Mod Edit
Thanks to the Grots for all their work in organising such an enjoyable evening, and to everyone else for making it such fun.

I charge my Tom Tom from the mains using the USB data cable (that it comes with) and a USB travel charger. This is mains plug with a USB socket on it, which I bought from Amazon for under £4 including postage. It is also useful for charging other USB devices, including my PalmPilot.

Harry, it will be earlier if you start your karaoke! wink
4wheeldrive and I were discussing profile photos and have come up with what, we hope, are some useful tips.
Top Twenty Tips for Profile Photos
1. If your partner looks like a particularly brutal Bosnian war criminal, it is probably best not to include any photos of his face.
2. Tip 1 is especially true if the partner is female.
3. Surprisingly, not everyone will be entranced by a close-up photo of your prince albert and the 16 studs decorating your penis.
4. Check that you know what the translations of your squiggly foreign-writing tattoos actually mean before displaying them (and, preferably, before having them done!).
5. If your profile says your body shape is “medium”, be careful in your selection of full body pics. There are limits on the ability of even a basque and stockings to disguise too liberal an interpretation of the word “medium”.
6. You may think that the photos taken at that drunken party (when your str8 partner and all the other men put on wigs and lipstick for a laugh) may look highly amusing. Others will be wondering how long you have been with Dale Winton’s ex.
7. Do not be tempted to include any photos of your partner sitting in the bath. Even Kate Moss probably looks a size 16 while in the bath.
8. Photos that are in such gynaecological close-up as to make them difficult to identify tend to be unsettling rather than sexy – unless, of course, you are trying to attract gynaecologists.
9. If you have an extremely sexy photo on your profile, people may be slightly upset when they turn up for a meet and you explain that it’s not actually you – you are the big toe just visible in the bottom right corner.
10. Be careful about the background to your photos. A framed photo of Fred and Rosemary West on the wall behind you will probably not enhance your chances of getting replies to your advert.
11. Even the most trusting viewer will wonder how up-to-date your photos are if you include a pic of you leaning on a Ford Cortina, reading a newspaper with the headline “Argies Invade Falklands”.
12. If your wife insists that she is 38, ensure that you remove the card on the mantelpiece saying “To a Special Grandma on your 50th Birthday”.
13. You may be very proud of Tyson, your pit bull terrier, but including him in your photos will, at best, send a confusing message.
14. A photo of you wearing a tee shirt saying “Gary Glitter – do you wanna be in my gang, my gang?” will tend to restrict responses to your advert to a small niche market ……….. and the police.
15. If you are concerned about being identified, there is little point in having your partner wear sunglasses when you take her photo if your face is reflected in the mirror behind her.
16. You may believe that you have taken a sexy photo of your partner in a beautiful bathroom; others will see only the set of dentures in a glass on the shelf, left behind when your father visited – and will be wondering which of you they belong to!
17. If your pictures are actually stolen from somebody else, you ought to ensure:
• They are not photos of someone on this site.
• They are the same colour as you.
18. Photos in the kitchen are fine, providing you don’t have the past week’s dirty crockery and greasy frying pan in the background. This is the wrong type of slut.
19. Any erotic image in the bathroom will immediately be undermined by the appearance in the photo of a carelessly discarded pair of knickers with skid-marks.
20. Facial pics can be especially sexy, but it is probably best not to include any in which you look as though the voices in your head are telling you that it’s time to strangle another kitten!
I wondered what you would do with it if the other husband's watch is a fob watch. On second thoughts, it would probably be better if we didn't know! :shock:
What a bummer ............ I shall be away. Even worse, will be coming back to read what a good time everyone has had!
Life is just so unfair! sad
Yes, thanks to Bob and Lisa for all the work involved and to everyone else for making the evening such fun.

The yellow square used to be blank until, many years ago, Serendipity asked to see my face.
Thanks to Robert and Martin for the organisation and to everyone for making it such a welcoming atmosphere(especially some of the lurvely laydees!) :grin:
........... and Dawn, I want you on my side the next time there's any trouble! lol

I'd love to be involved can u put my name down Thanx mate

This was almost 2 years ago! I think you want the thread for the current North London Social that will be held on 2 February this year. lol
Quote by Try2
The point I am making is where does this madness about peoples privacy stop

Most of us are concerned that our involvement in the swinging scene remains a private matter, which is why most of us safeguard our anonymity by blanking out the faces on our profile pictures – or even password them if they are really concerned.
The problem with pictures being taken at a social is that it greatly reduces the ability of the individual member to retain control of his/her own privacy. I don’t want people outside the scene being able to identify me from my profile pictures and I certainly have no desire to see myself standing in the background of a picture in the News of the World illustrating an article about wife-swapping in the suburbs!
Personally, I would prefer it if there were no photography in the room in which the social is held; all too often people taking photographs are concentrating on the subjects and are oblivious to others who will be in the shot.

Marya_Northeast, is a straight, single female who (to quote her profile) is “really not looking for anything at the moment”. I suspect that this puts her in a minority on both counts when she attends socials.
I am a straight single male who has attended numerous socials. While I usually end the night having spoken to everybody there (and having enjoyed doing so), my primary aim of attending is not to swap reminiscences with other single males. Like most people attending, my main aim is to extend the circle of people who might match my criteria as potential swinging partners, ie couples and single females.
I like to have looked at the profiles of other attendees before a social, but I don’t want to have to wade through dozens of profiles of other single males, because I can’t identify this from the nickname alone.
If the balance in the swinging world were reversed and I knew that at all socials I attended there would always be just a couple of other straight single males amongst a sea of straight single females and couples (and that I would inevitably be a magnet for attention – no matter how ginger my hair lol ) I might be tempted to agree with Marya that the division of the attendance lists by status is irrelevant pigeon-holing. Until then …………
Personally, I've always felt people make too much fuss about crabs ............
