Ok so I'm going to have a rant. so stop reading now if you don't want to hear it.

Now we now there a lot of lovely genuine people on this site. We've met quite a few people in the 4 years we've been here.

Only in the past year have we opened our profile up to meeting single males. In the past 4 months we have been stood up 4 times by single males!!!

Now I know our criteria is quite strict, we won't send face pics. We don't add as friends until we meet. We are adult enough to take rejection, join us for a drink and if we're not your cup of tea (no pun intended) then no offence taken.

But to message steadily, arrange a venue to meet, have us drive 30 mile approx and then not bother turn up.

Surely if you cant make it its not too much to ask for a text to let us know this.

Aww well it wasn't the first and I'm sure it wont be the last. Rant over. Mrs Sin xx

why not insist on their address and phone number that's what I normally send prior to a meet if they can't provide it alarms should be ringing, it a shame because these type of welters put couples of meeting single guys

Well you guys shouldn't loose all hope because you both seem straight up and very nice and there are generally a lot of cool nice people here and I generally use the forums quite a lot.

I find if people are active on the forums then I check their veris and have a phone call.

If you don't exchange face pics that's your choice and up to the guys to make their own mind up and if it was an issue its their issue not yours but I stress don't give up..

What would all of us single guys do without people like you guys

Disappointed because couples and ladies will just get pissed off and either alter age brackets or not look for single guys.. But there are genuine ones out there..

The positive thing from ur rant is the opening u know there is a lot of genuine good people here its such a pity a few time wasters ruin it for those genuine people but it happens in all walks of life having only ever chatted briefly its their loss but the annoying thing is that they are verified which makes it harder for all of us to choose possible meets

its their loss ur gain i am sure ill be telling others they fecked u around in ur convos with others here best thing is when u kicked is to get up and perve away again hopefully the next one will be man enough to show up

actually like the no face pic meets it adds to the excitement

Thanks CJ. We enjoy this lifestyle too much to let the minority ruin it for us. We are well verified too and are happy to say that if we havent been able to make a pre-arranged meet we have messaged to let them know.

Definitely their loss, can second that ! It's so frustrating when you put time and effort into a meet to be either let down at last minute or no show, but please keep searching there are still some genuine reliable people on here.

First of all may i say havin looked at yeer profile n veris defo his loss n secondly as a single guy here I myself had a bad experience a few weeks ago when drove 60 miles to meet a couple whom I'd been chatting to had a hotel arranged time n place to meet arranged no phone numbers exchanged till that evening then we did n txt time to meet n then to my total sickening disappointment no show no txt to explain r even cancell the meet so its not always the single guys that are time wasters. Well sometimes anyway

I gotta agree with you Mrs Sin, we messaged briefly yesterday and soon you sent me your number, we text but I was to far for you to meet. You guys were genuine, friendly and polite. Don't get put off by the numerous numpties on here that seem to get off on messing around. There are many genuine and good single guys about.

the best way to meet single guys is word of mouth from other cpls/single who have met with us. i think that vals are only so good to a point but really if you check out a guy or anybody for that matter and you are swinging a while the chances are u know some1 who has met the person or persons. ask the question to the other cpl no harm done. u will always have guys saying in the forum thats bad form and ur pics are stunning, cant believe he didnt show. guys say anything to try get their leg over sorry but its true. now most single guys i met when swinging as a cpl we made travel to us or if we were in the same area we could meet them but we never went out of our way to meet them. i know ill get stick for being honest but fuck it.

hi elusive good advice, though we chose not to accommodate as we prefer not to have meets in our family home so we often do travel...no shows are an occupational hazard I guess

I think a lot of guys are all talk through emails

or what ye use. Bigging themselves up but when it comes down to it they can't go through with it. At least the couple has security in numbers. But it really is bad form to arrange a meet and not shop. Really bad manners at least and totally wastes both parties fun. Us single males are not all the same though
