Singles pairing up to get into clubs on a couples only night is not exactly honest. Many of the regular couples at a couples only night go on those nights to avoid singles because they only want to play and socialise with established couples. They may not wish to play with two singles masquerading as a couple.

Granted, but, out of interest, how 'established' do people need to be to be a 'couple'? maybe its my thinking, but if two people go to a club together, they establish themselves as a couple for that evening...or at least 'buddys'? dunno which is what I meant by being manufactured or by mutual arrangement - not simply going in as a couple then splitting off once inside. Do you mean only established couples as in married/ long-term partners?
Many couples go to couples only nights to meet established couples rather than manufactured couples that have come together just for the night, whether they stay together or not. They avoid mixed nights not just because of the imbalance of male/female but because they do not wish to play with people that are not in an established relationship.
You cant 'police' couples legitimacy all you can do is sign in a male and female at the same time.
I agree that club owers are businessmen and unless the single me stop turning up, the prices will stay the same, its a fact of business life

Certainly you can't police couples, but in a 'community' where honesty is seen as paramount then this is something for the individuals to consider.

I think that is the way forward for anyone who thinks that clubs are overpriced ... don't go.

Couldn't agree more.

Hmmm interesting topic :thumbup:
I'm a single bi-fem and visit swinging clubs by myself, so I'm qualified by experience to discuss this topic in depth lol
Re fees, Abfab, where I go have recently raised their prices and I believe it is now £50 for a single man, while still at £10 for a single lady. Personally I think it is crazy and don't agree with charging men this amount. The rationale is obviously supply and demand and single male members sometimes have to wait to get on the guestlist, and I have seen no reduction in single men since the increase. Paying this amount, well while on one hand people who go will value their time there, on the other, it might and think does to a degree encourage an attitude of I've paid £50 so will make sure I get my money's worth...whatever a single male thinks that is.
I would like to see the occasional single night as I tend not to play with cpls but the ratio would be about 10/1 or something silly. I don't mind but I bet the men would :lol2: Alternatively, arrange your own house party and then you can set the numbers/ratio. And don't forget my invite :grin:
I have been approached by lots of men to ask me to go them and on the whole seems to be about nothing more than saving them money. One of my regular meets genuinely wants to go with me as part of a cpl and I will be doing this but this is because it is about going together and playing together. But just to save money? No thanks!
When I go on the night single men are allowed, there are rarely more than 3 single ladies. Put up the prices and this will probably go down further so demand equal prices all you want but don't forget you need to encourage single ladies all you can. As much as I disagree with the £50, no man is forced to pay...you can after all spend the money down the local pub/club and try your luck there.
But you know it won't be nearly half as much fun :rascal:

I am in the same boat, i used to atend abfab quite often. As it also is my local club but the new fee structure is tottaly rubish. So i have voted with feet and not gone for ages. (i can travel to manchester by coach spend all nite in cupids and come back to london for same price)
In past i have gone with a female, to a club, but i personally do not mind by single guy fees as i accpet that is the way of the world. I just tend to choose clubs where the single guy fee structure is more reasonable.

Agreed...we would rather play with established couples in good relationships than manufactured couples ,only doing it for the night...we have seen such people do this then split up and do their own thing!
In my experience.....
The higher the membership and entry price for single men - the better behaved they are.
The better behaved the single guys:
- The more they are accepted by the couples
- The more single fems attend
- The more the guys are involved in the fun
Sadly - cheap entry for single guys usually correlates with ‘twatty’ behaviour.
To avoid the problem of "manufactured" couples (e.g. a single man using an escort) and ensure only bona fide partners are there on couples-only night, any decent club will require ID for both him and her to be provided that must share the same address.
This is not rocket science and is a gesture on the part of that club's management to the other genuine couples that they are taking security seriously.

Only problem....you could be a genuine couple but may not leave together.

your spot on there pololady
I think we all understand the question and know the answer.
It doesnt matter if we think its right and proper or not, this is real life and this is how its done
theres an alternative to saving you a few quid if you really think its unfair door price policy,
1) dont go,
2)the "single" guys whos married and playing away, take her along share her,save yourself a few bob.
and to the guys that dont begrudge paying, well done to you for understanding supply and demand economics.
As the wrinkly rhino put it so succinctly... if you don't like clubs and the prices... don't go.
Great post Little Gem!
I much prefer meeting a couple with a view to playing as a private threesome to be honest.I think the quality of sharing that experience is far better than competing for attention in a that I'm not meaning that is more easy to do,they have still selected YOU out of whoever via mails and phone calls and the initial meet.
And I've seen the rows and head games between couples in clubs too, in a couple of cases I've witnessed the man of the couple be quite controlling of who they played with and how they played - but as I've said before take the lady away and they are just another single male!
this isn't a hijack but it begs the question do you peeps think its fair or unfair that single fems are allowed on a "couples only " night ?

have to admit i have wondered that a few times too, personally i go to clubs as a single female but i wouldn't go on a couples night, what i do think is fair tho is that they charge more for single fems on couples only nights than other nights
