"i have been thinking lately about these very very valuable networking events. i know its not the norm but how do people feel about the need to circulate a guest list prior to the event ..to allow people to network or maybe to avoid an embarrassing encounter with people they may not want to see opinions please ? " they do tht on another swinger site,when they organise parties,they publish the guest list to the ppl tht are going,i think its a great idea!i wudnt mind my name being on the guest list | |||

"Hi CC, you have to be really careful when deciding to go to either M&G s or parties, as you never know who or what type of people go. Mainly people are fine, but you can get the odd "A-hole" (male and Female - sometime females can be worse) who cause problems, either getting clingy, stalking, or possessive and then there can be trouble, especially if drink is involved, also you could meet someone you actually know for "real life", embarrassing or what!! " god what ones were u at? ,glad i didnt go lol ,ive been to a few m & g,s and never had any trouble!its only ppl meeting for a social drink and having a laugh,if u meet sumone u like well thts a bonus! | |||

"Tbh guest list for any party are only guidelines ppl dont show on the night either way especially single guys" sounds like a good idea. if people start talking before the meet it may increase the attendance of single guys | |||

"absolutely should be taken as a guideline only but it does give a good indication of the type, age and quantity of people that will be there even allowing for no shows and one or two last minute invites.... it is also true that seeing the guest list may make some whom had planned to attend change their mind but on balance its probably better that they do so in advance if they feel its not for them...... our 0.02c anyhows.... " or if sumone was unsure about going to the party and they seen the guest list,realised they liked the luk of a few guests and decide to go | |||

"Well tbh most ppl will ask for an invite on forums so you can see most that has asked for an invite, i know private mail's are also sent. But as for non verified people its the only way they can get out there and get known, single men and women both plus couples. I agree ppl should be sent a guest list prior to a private party..! But as for a M&G where a couple of hundred ppl after asking to be invited how is one to mail every one, and especially from a few sites. The hotel function rooms are big enough if there is ppl there you dont want to mix with..! " | |||

"By publishing a guest list it just leaves the door open for clicks to be formed, you will have the whole site divided into to or three sets of ppl. Anyone attending the m & g that sees someone that they don't agree with or get on with should be adult enough to keep their distance and i am sure that other attendees will help in this situation. Well i would hate to think that anyone would kick off in public at something like this although i have seen one or two incidents, dividing a group up takes away from its values and it becomes an exclusive club and i would like to think that we are all equals" i dont think guests lists for meet & greets is a gud idea but i think for smaller swinger parties it is!if its a pay before the event one then only publish the guest list then! | |||

"not sure about it i can see both sides but you will get people pulling out because they don't like someone else whos going." defo agree here as you will see a huge rise in no shows then if people know and are trying avoid someone , there are always the forums where people put their names down and also when the event is near , people always put in forums " who going to m&g etc" and lots will respond there to so people do get an idea who is going just from that alone , | |||

"Like most people know's we organize party's every month.Normally we don't have people asking for a guest list but sometimes people asking us about others,if they are or not in the list and we let them know.As someone was saying here before if people wants to click or chat before party's they can see by the post's on here. Anyway we don't ave any problems to send a guest list to the ones confirm but for that we need everyone to agreed to give the name away to others. " Agree _oandwex m&g's are too hard to list every one Esp when they are big ones.. I rem the last one we had in cork we did not cut out non verified ppl esp single girls only so many single males can go i dont know what all the uproar is about Its hard enough to orgonise a M&G not a mind adding more hard work on the orgonisers...! | |||

"Every one is intitled to their opinion..! But for lots of ppl here and on other sites its meet and greets got them on the swing circle But to the issue raised about lists for a M&G its not going to happen as too many ppl would need to be mailed not a mind putting 300+ names on a list n mail each n ever one its madness....!" only thing I'd like to know is how many are attending approx. | |||

"Yes we think it is a good idea, At least you might know if someone you know is attending. " I can see how mailing 200 people would be an arduous task but when the organisers are preparing their excel list for the door on the night this list could be emailed on request | |||

"guest lists can change over night from 5 to 20 people going on or off the list they will even change on the day and evening of a m&g this goes for for parties also and i am sure alot on here know that.so it would be very hard to keep mailing over 200 people each time the list changes.there is already enough time and effort going into running nights." Any m&gs coming up in or around limerick naughtyduo??? | |||

"Sure 50-60% of them probably wont show up anyway so why would you put yourself through the hassle of having to make the list. Totally different for a party where i would want to know who was on the guest list before i attended. And non verified have to start somewhere so meet and greet would be a good place to start. There are lots of verified members that are messers and i know of at least 2 journalists who are verified members and have attended meet and greets. Sean " yes Sean well said we all had to start somethere and give ppl a chance M&G's you wont know until the night in Q who's gonna show | |||

"Sean were those journalists attending in a personal capacity as it were? Care to expand on that? How did you find out? Were they outed? Wilder" I found out after the event when doing a bit of research who they where. The big meet and greets are hard to keep quiet as people know so there will always be a risk of people finding out. I believe at the time that they where there in a personal capacity as nothing came out after the event in question. However having had one of my own pictures printed in a Sunday newspaper a few years back after they ran an expose on another website you just never know whats going to happen. With my role on another website it pays me to keep an ear to the ground and to have a dig around some people sometimes, especially those couple that spring out of the blue and attend the events but dont do anything. Personally i dont think that most people would be getting too excited about meet and greets in the press as it's the parties they will try and get an invite too. But we know from some of the tv programmes and the newspaper articles that have "exposed" the lifestyle in the last few years that it's not been difficult for the journalists to find their way in to these events. | |||

Wow! Yeah you're right, particularily if it was a female 'journalist' doing the 'exposing' (if you pardon the pun...). Glad soneone's looking out for us Sean!! | |||
