Single guy going to Rios's - opinions please!

18 Jan 2004

Hi there James here!
My ad no.s are 42152 and 42154. Just read a few of the reviews of Rio's and am curious as to how single guys are seen by couples. I get the impression that they are seen as lecherous sad types...true? I'm a good looking guy thinking of heading along but am not really interested if all couples will look down there noses at me! Is it just the way most of these guys behave!? Anyway, never been to a club like this before and am intrigued!
ellmore_ if anyone cares to email me with opinions.
James. biggrin

Hi James,
Well clubs aren't really my thing so I can't comment on the scene, but not ALL single guys are sad, lecherous types. It's been pointed out here many times before that it's the few who let down the majority of decent blokes out there.
Where would us single girls be without single guys for those one to one occasions? I'm proud to number many single guys from this site and off it as friends - whether I've met them or not, and whether I've had sex with them or not.
Do not despair - there are couples and single women out there who prefer single guys.

Hi Ellmore,
I've never been to Rios, but I think all clubs are basically the same in their ettiquette. Single guys are seen as lecherous sad types if they behave like lecherous sad types. It's really that simple. There are more single guys than there are couples to go around, and a lot of couples do not want attention from singles at all, so obviously some singles are going to be disappointed if they are going to the club with the aim of participating rather than to watch. Clean, polite and friendly guys have more success than those who hang about perving or who get too pushy. Read the advice about clubs in the Swinging and Advice section, but above all, go to enjoy the experience. If you go expecting sex you will not have a good time.

Hi James
I've been to Rios twice and loved it.
Both times were during the day though and I didn't notice anything happening at all. There were alot of single guys there but I didn't feel uncomfortable in any way other than was I offending anyone who was there just to relax and chill out. So me and the guy I went with took ourselves upstairs to the (empty) couples only bit.
Maybe just pop in there for an hour or so to sus the place out, you don't have to stay if you feel uncomfortable, which is how I managed to persuade my terrified body in there in the first place lol ...... emerged 4 hours later wondering why the hell I hadn't been sooner!
I have been told that it is a very different atmosphere in the evenings, alot 'hotter' wink

- but as yet, have not had the pleasure of witnessing it.
Good luck, let us know your thoughts on the place if you do go ok biggrin

hi james
our experiences of rio's date back a couple of years now, but may still be relevant..we only went on couples only nights (saturday ) and as our first adventure into the 'scene' it was a bit daunting!
we enjoyed the experience wink

after the initial shyness at being starkers in public for the first time redface

. rio's policy at the time was to admit single guys after midnight...although the ratio of m/f before then indicated that some were let in at about 10pm.
the single guys we encountered there were, usualy, well behaved- mostly taking a polite' no thanks' to an offer of a 'massage' upstairs at face value.
however, on our last 2 visits, there were some guys who were most persistant..the locks on the upstairs massage rooms were not very good, we had 'retired' upstairs with a single guy biggrin

and two more blokes pushed into the room whilst we were enjoying ourselves! they left when we told them to p**s off but the moment was lost! mad

the next occasion we went the large spa pool was pretty full so we went into one of the smaller spa's. this soon filled up with single guys, a couple of whom had never heard of the word no, or just assumed that sue was 'up for it' because she was there. :x we left the club after that and hav'nt been back. sad

the answer to your question, from a couples point of view, would be that you should go to rio's for the experience :D :D and always behave in a 'gentlemanly' fashion towards the ladies present. we were very nervous on our first couple of visits and it was a single guy that helped us enjoy the club and took the the trouble to befriend us, without 'coming on strong', he relaxed sue and i to the environment...and was then rewarded :twisted: but thats another story!!!
