by genuine, do you mean people who actually turn up when they say they will? Do you mean guys who are honest in thier profile and think you wont notice that they're 5'6" not 6'2"? Who idea of athletic is wearing trainers? Yet to meet any, but the people here on the forum seem 'genuine', which is a bit of a relief, I was very close to giving the site a miss myself. Jaded, me? Whatever gave you that idea?
Genuine, hmmm.
There are a few people who are fairly normal, open about what they do, yes.
And for every one of them, there are a thousand who have never swung, been dogging, or maybe even ventured past the missionary position. For a site of over 400k people, the majority of the forum posts and adverts some from a small minority.
Frankly, as a single guy, it's damnedx near impossible to gain acceptance into a group of truly genuine swingers / doggers or any other 'specialist' group, because they don't know who you are, and therefore cannot trust you. I speak from experience.
Sure there seem to be a few decent people here, but in reality, the chances of you meeting someone for a shag are marginal UNLESS you are willing to be vetted by whatever means the group you are trying to join stipulates.
It's tough, the odds are crap, and it's a buyers market - good luck (you'll need it !)

PS. Don't give up if you are really looking for something though ....... it took Colonel Sanders 2 years and 2000 visits before someone bought his KFC recipe. It might take you just as long !
....by whoever you are trying to meet.
As a single guy, I take that to be a couple, single female, group, single male, whatever.
e.g. A couple wish to meet a single guy.
If there are 1000 couples and 300,000 single males, and all of the single males are considered equal, then they have a 1 in 3000 chance of being 'picked'.
Now but using whatever 'selection criteria' (read 'acceptance') they may choose from a pool of 50 males.
That's a BIG difference ! (600 times different).
That's the point I'm making.
Wow didn't expect such a response to my thread! but thanks anyways for all your advice will take it on bord or as much as i can remeber! Hope to be accpeted into the swinging circle soon. and also keen to introduce my girlfriend to it too, so any advice on how to broach the subject with her would be welcomed! although changing my profile will cost me ! perhapd should of registered as a couple first but was jus trying to be honest!
