Couples are probably fed up of the minority of single guys who take any response as an offer of sexual favours and perhaps react angrily when they are disappointed. I call this "some people were rude to me so I'm gonna be rude to everyone else."
There is no excuse for rudeness, whether in the chatroom or the forum, but if they must be so then it would be best to ignore them. They are unlikely to change. We both know there are some brilliant people in the chatroom, both couples and singles - and they are the ones who count.
With regard to the couples who are so rude, it's their loss. Anyone who met you at the munches know you're a great guy.

Thank you Sappho and your a very decent lady too, hope your well My Lady
I hope that the people I have met talked to via net or any munch or future one will always think of me as respectful at the very least........
Hiya!!!!
I'm not a couple ....... but just wanted to say Hi and welcome!
Muah, Alex x x
Remember our conversation OOTD...whether its on here, at a station, in shops, cinemas or wherever, you are gonna find rude people, people who would rather hurt and offend you or try to score points at your expense.
Don't lose sleep over them, they are the losers in any walk of life, to rise to their inhumanity demeans you. Remember live and let live, be you, say what you think (as long as you don't intend to/or hurt anyone with it) and enjoy the great company that can be found in all walks of life..even swinging!!! lol!!
It is clear you have enough friends on here not to have sleepless nights over the "few"...but know where you are coming from, understand your post...just doubt it will make the blind bit of difference to the ones you refer to.
Stay sane!!

I've only been in the chatroom once and it totally overwhelmed me - sooooooo busy and so many people talking.
I think I would rather take the more laid back ;) road and stay on the forum where I can take things nice and slow... purrrrr. lol
Sooo many sage words on this 's an old hat and will probably continue to age and pop up as the days go on.
I'm not even gonna try and add words of comfort and sympathy..."flogging a dead horse" springs to mind.
A lot of people don't go into the chatroom to chat.......they use it purely as an extension to the ads system. I know It's frustrating but that's just the way it is, it's a free access room.
I think it's likely that most of the people ignoring the single guys in the chatroom are the same as the people who's ads contain the words "NO SINGLE GUYS - THESE WILL BE IGNORED". Maybe they presume that every time they come into the chatroom everybody rushes out to read their ad and if you don't match their requirements then you've no right to talk to them.
A bit single-minded but unfortunately not the kind of single-minded you're looking for.

Isn't it just a case of each to his/her own? I pop into the chatroom in the same way I go and watch jet aircraft at air shows: to see something fast, racy and beyond my understanding whiz by in front of my eyes.
It is indeed a wonder to behold: I even managed to say a couple of sentences to SteveG_NW once before I floundered in the 'Slough of Despond' that is my pathetic typing speed, and was left wallowing in the wake of everyone else. Never got the impression that I was unwelcome, merely flapping like a budgie in a wind- tunnel. I'm sure there are rude people in there, just as there are in Greasy Joe's or The Ritz or anywhere..so what, that's their loss, not mine. I come here on my terms-not theirs.
So, I stick to the Cafe, where I can savour my Merlot, listen to Elgar and marvel at the wit and humanity before me.
As I said, each to his/her own...
Ok here we are again the Single male thing. I say hi to everyone you guys know that but there are couples coming in to the room who say hi back to only other couples. Now I think that is very rude but ehy what do I know I am a single (scourge of Satans backside) male. I thank god that there are some bloody great couples who come to the chat room. You know who you are................ 
U know I will chat to ya anytime babe 
(And I'm a single guy!)
