Errrrrrr, I'm sooooo lost with this debate........ so.... you can't be a swinger unless you know the names of all the people you've shagged?
No, surely that's not right..... off to go and read back up the thread .... but just in case I did read that right I may be some time writing a list :shock:

Well, I know the names of all the people I've shagged. A couple of one offs, and monogamous relationships - Does that make me a swinger or not then, according the the knowing names theory? confused

Seems like a pointless debate to me, and already seems to have gotten backs up.

I don't see any backs up Shambolic. Good debate though!
Maybe it's the wine, but I could've sworn there's been a slight undertone of annoyance from one or two on this thread, and I can understand why. It's nice to have a label you give yourself so you don't feel unfocused, but it's worrying when it's more important than what you actually do, IMO.
The whole thing reminds me of the typical new band scenario - "Before we write anything, or practice, we need to work out the really important issues - What are we going to call ourselves?"...

Oh goody, an attempt at labelling and categorising people, which will only lead to segragation and arguments.
Does it really matter? Does belonging to one group prevent you from taking part with another?

Seriously tho at the age it is its about ready for being pensioned off..

Not at all! Unless you want to buy the marketing crap the car makers (and the government on their behalf) feed you. Considering the age of my car, 12 years is nothing smile

Even newer cars break down, and they cost more to fix, more to buy, etc.
A bit of basic DIY maintenance and knowledge ought to keep most bangers going for years to come, and a friendly old style garage helps with the tricky bits :)
Oh well............So much for 17 years in the trade then.........
Would that trade be in selling cars, or fixing them? Cause either way I can see how it's preferable for you if people buy new(er). One way you sell a whole car, the other way you make money from them being too scared to take a spanner to it. Not that there's anything wrong with that, just that there are alternatives :)
But thinking about it, carry on putting people off - Keeps the prices down for people like me biggrin

In Sygate, go to Tools -> Applications. You should getm a list of the various apps. Somewhere in there is one called LSU I think, which from what I remember is part of the Live Update package. Right click on it and select Allow.
Also worth trying to run Live Update, with the Sygate control open, and see what appears. Quite often an icon will turn up with a question mark or red circle, once again, selet it and choose allow.
Sygate is annoying to configure, but it's also very good, and very free smile

Hope it helps.

Does the machine have a network card, or just the modem? I've had this happen when a neetwork card has been setup wrong, or removed, or Windows has just got confused.
Probably worth checking Device Manager to see if there's any network adapter conflicts, as well as pulling the MS Network Client (as in that link), and the TCP protocol. You will need to go and add the TCP after a reboot though, as it's what the PC uses to talk to the internet!

I was told by a site member "Dont worry about it its not important, it's only the internet" when things went pair shaped. But this site and it's members is important to me. When i joined I felt like father xmas had adopted me.

I'm not much of a people person, and I'm the same online as in real life in that way. However, what places like this offer is an opportunity to be "around" people without having to actually be around people, so to speak. It's a chance to be more selective and more in control of socialising, and yes, very easy to lean on the names on the screen for support sometimes, if you've either nobody else you think you can talk to, or feel comfortable posting such things on the net (not something I'd do, but I can see the need).
Just my collection of grubby small change smile

I have reservations about dogging, but I think after this post I'll be a ten post wannashag wonder, so does that increase my chances of getting one tenfold? :idea:

OK, I'm a newbie, I haven't read every post in this thread (and no doubt everything I say will have been covered already), and for me this isn't an early morning, but the end of the night, but here's my small change jar:
There's obviously at least some interest in camming, and from what I've seen (but not, unfortunately, "seen") online, people of all genders and relationship levels partake. There's also a great many people who cyber, or voice chat. And there's combinations of the lot. Sure, the odd time I find myself sat at the PC chatting to someone one handed, it does strike me as a bit sad really, but on the other hand it is a sexual experience shared with someone else, and in the days I did it there'd often be more than one person on my list, and it was a whole free fun sexual thing to do, there was just never the option for cams to come into it. I ended up meeting a couple of the women, so it bears relevence to real life as well I suppose smile

What I'm trying to tiredly and confusedly say, is might it not be an idea to have a covers all "net fun" area? Most of the people who are likely to want an online quicky are likely to gravitate there anyway I would've thought, thereby reducing, although (and how do people quite that stupid get online anyway?) not eliminating the unwated posts elsewhere on the site.
Sorry if this is misplaced or gibberish redface

There might be some form of image blocking in Zone Alarm that's causing the problem. I know Norton firewall has that feature.
Best off ditching it anyway, and going for Kerio, Agnitium Outpost, or Sygate - All have free personal versions smile

im probably in the wrong place here but here goes anyway. From my own experience dogging is very difficult for the single guy, it must be ten times worse (for different reasons) for a single girl. For heavens sake Hayley team up with someone you can trust.
you dont have to get involved with them but as a pair at least you can watch out for each other. I do hope that you recover quickly from your bad experience. not all blokes are bad but unfortunately good or bad they dont wear labels. Next time drive to the police station, they wont follow you there.
I wish you well . racer3

On my way through the boards, I was meaning to post a very similar message after reading what happened the other night.
Going solo might be an attractive idea, and really not everyone's an arsehole, but there's enough arseholes out there that it might be worth considering venturing out with some backup just in case.
As a single man, it's the worry of the idiots that puts me off dipping my toe into dogging (well, that and I still think it's a silly name).

Thought it time to post again, just so as people don't think I was just doing one of those one post wonders.
Not had time or mood to pop in and reply properly or come up with any bright ideas (which is why I can't see me being very active on these boards), but I know you all just can't wait for my next dazzling display of sexual magnetism... rolleyes

Nice ad, though you do seem to be rather negative in the second paragraph, you start by ruling nearly everything out! I think you need to sound certain that you would like to meet a female!

Good point. I suppose I don't really know what I want, which doesn't help. No relationship/ ties, but other than that, who knows? I don't confused

I guess the idea was to put as little as possible about myself out in public (I'm rather shy) and see what came of it. I'm sure there's a woman out there somewhere who would get the gist of my post, and contact me, but of course, just because she's out there doesn't man she's in here! I really don't want to be too open, or misleading, but maybe I was a little too cautious?

I would advise you to put an avatar for your posts, and also put your (rough) location underneath - these are all things that catch the reader's eye and could help you.

Good idea, althoguh I'm too random to be a regular fixture around here, but I'll have a think about that and see what I come up with smile

Pics help a lot - i know what you mean about preferring to post here, with more chance of feedback (QED!), but you could have an ad as well, with a link to it in your sig, and pics on an ad do help.

I know it may sound silly, but I feel more comfortable posting my desire for casual lust on a forum than in a proper ad - And as for pics, I'd rather provide them privately. I suppose I have issues with net privacy and safety, which might be odd for a guy, but I've been online for a while, and had my fair share of idiots sad

Thanks for the tips :)

Thanks

Needless to say, the female response hasn't exactly been overwhelming.... But I expected that really, so not to worry. Nothing ventured nothing gained and all that I suppose.
As for the ad, I'm sure there's things I left out, or things I put in, that I shouldn't have, but better to be honest than pretend to be some super star adonis sex god ideal that the moment reality hit I'd never live up to!

Promised myself I wouldn't get involved in chatting when I subbed to this forum, but what the hell, whilst catching up with the atmosphere, came across this thread.
I keep small animals, and even with no other real commitments, it's a lot of work. They need a great deal of attention, as well as the general clean outs, food refreshing, water top ups etc. I don't really advise children to have animals as pets, although there's nothing wrong with responsible adults keeping them, and letting a child think it's actually theirs smile

You've also got to consider vets bills. If you aren't prepared to spend 3 figure sums when a five quid pet falls ill, then you aren't prepared to take on the pet, IMO. I've been there, and I don't begrudge any of my animals a penny of what it's cost to give them as happy and healthy a life as possible.
Of the two, if you're looking for something low maintenence and cheap to run, then go for a fish. They still need some time and money, but water treatments are much cheaper than vets bills, and feeding and cleaning out can be so much easier than with a rodent or other small animal. They're also far less likely to take a dislike to you and bite!
Sorry if this has been a bit harsh, or if the general post life around here means this is somewhat out of date, I'm just a bit of a softie when it comes to animals redface

Back to lurking for me!

Well, yep, I'm a single guy. So this is probably more an excersize in typing than a serious attempt to meet anyone!
My sex life is dormant, at best. I'm average. I don't do crowds, so pubs, clubs etc are right out. I don't think I'm quite ready to dive in and meet a couple. In fact, I'm just a little shy at best, so I'm not sure I'm all that ready to meet a single woman either, but it's celibacy or make an effort, and celibacy just doesn't suit me.
I suppose what I'm hoping for is to chat to a few people, and hopefully find one or two (or more, given the chance) who I click with, and end up meeting, maybe once, maybe twice, who knows? A relationship is not what I'm after, and I can assure you there'll be no moves towards one from my side of things. I suppose basically what I want is sex, but on the other hand, it would be nice to manage a conversation before, hopefully after, and if fitting, during.
In terms of the sort of woman who 'd find attractive, I'd be lying if I said looks were totally unimportant, but someone who I can feel comfortable with, even if it's only for one night, is more important than someone who'd sell shampoo. Someone who knows what they want sexually turns me on, I'm not naturally dominant in any way, preferring give and take. Oh, and someone who actually finds me attractive enough to want to play with me might be a plus smile

Late 20s, fairly tall, average build.
Can meet in Dorset or parts of Hampshire, would rather not invite anyone round here, after all, it's a bit single man like! redface

I suppose I ought to have submitted this as an ad, but I tend to find forums are a little more relaxed, and more likely to give feedback.
