"Why oh why is it so hard for men to attend these. So many pull out at the last minute. Surely you see the benefit of meeting other Fabbers at these. Just sayin.... " Because a lot of men join here to meet women to have sex with them...not to go on the piss. We have our own friends for that | |||

"It's quite intimidating for a single man to attend a social, it costs more for them and then they sit in a corner with no one talking to them." Cost? The one im going to there is no cost and everyones banned from corners | |||

"Sitting in a corner not talking is down to that person. It's up to you to start interaction with other people. Don't expect everyone to come running cos you're a newbie! I was nervous at my first one of course but once you get chatting it's no bother. I had a blast " Exactly this ... sure it's what you make it. No one will be left in the corner anyway. | |||

"If a guy is intimidated, nervous or for whatever reason stops him from attending a social he should never ask for an invite to one. That way he frees up space for the guys who actually do want to attend, especially as there are always limited spaces for guys at most socials." The only way to get rid of or reduce being anxious about doing anything in life, including socials, is to face your fear and do it. I would most definitely have been very nervous about going to a social but after attending a few I has become far easier. However if a single lad asks for an invite and does not turn up without notifying the organizers in plenty of time so they can allow another single lad to attend then yes, it should be affect them for future invites. | |||

"I've been to a few socials and to be fair I found everyone friendly and good craic .. I've also had to cancel a couple of times at short notice and it didn't seem to affect my getting invites afterwards.. You'll never know unless you go.. " I don't think it's the cancelling at the last minute at least you would inform the organisers that you can't make it, it's the guys that ask for an invite and don't show up and don't inform the organisers that they can't make it | |||

"My take on it is that at any social, the host should be exactly that "a host"... It doesn't take much imagination or social tact to integrate singletons with the couples or other singles through a simple intro or silly party games.. especially if a guy has paid as much as a couple to attend a social " good idea | |||

"Been to view in the past years, they mostly were very cliquey, i ways attended with friends from the site, but it was sad to look at the guys coming alone trying to fit in to a group with little success most of the time. Def group up before you go, it's easier to fit in as single guy. " The ones I have been to in the Midlands and West are very friendly and not cliquey at all so be brave and jump in at the deep end... the kik groups before a social are great for breaking the ice and flirting lol | |||

"Travelling 2-3 hours for just a cup of tea doesn't seem like the best idea " Agreed. I consider socials to be a waste of time. It's hard enough to secure a meeting as it is for us single guys so unless it's for play I might as well go drinking with my mates and try to pull in town. | |||

Socials help you get to meet people who could become future potential meets. A lot of my individual meets were instigated by chatting at parties or socials | |||

"Single guys can be a pain for social organisers. We normally have about 50 asking to go on the list. Message them all to confirm a week before and half never reply. Of those that confirm usuallonly a third actually attend. Those who do not cancell are then blocked The entrance for all is the same£5 per person. We even offer to meet for a coffee before or meet them in the carpark. As host our job is to make sure no one sits alone" We hear that all the time about single men being the ones that don't turn up. One upcoming social sold tickets - that way if anyone doesn't turn up they're not out of pocket. | |||

Is very hard to believe anything otherwise, specially that the forum is full of complaints of single ladies about the vast amount of males contacting them.

"Jayus my first social I went to I was a wreck all that day couldn't decide which jocks to wear should I shave or go au naturelle shirt and tie or jeans and t-shirt do I need a hair cut Ended up having to work late so it was a quick shower and shave (allover)splash of deodorant and after shave I went with open necked shirt and jeans. Dashed in the road as there was a limit on how long the door would be open and got there in the nick of time to join the cue going in,funny thing was the cpl in the que in front of me were seasoned swingers and started chatting to me like normal people on a night out decent people with no hangup's or expectations other than enjoying them selves. So guys put ur cock back in ur jocks get ur best pulling socks on and head off in the knowledge ur going for a night out with normal people who maybe more openly openminded than u think and enjoy ur selves " PS thanks naughtyduos for my first invite and subaru cpl for chatting to me | |||

" Good for you do the next one over this neck of the woods lol " Ahah well, why not ! It would give me the opportunity to know a bit more about this beautiful country that is Ireland at the same time I'm gonna think about it, but since i don't know about your "neck of the woods" (thanks by the way, i've learned a new saying!) i'll need some help to organize it, mostly about the place. But yeah could be fun (; | |||

"Putting yourself into a single guys shoes at a social... probably feels similar to going into a nightclb all by yourself to a single man. Yes, you might know a few people from online but your real friends won't be there... and no guy wants to be "that guy" in the corner or at the bar all on his own Have gone to socials in a couple or group so do like to make effort & generally chat to as many people as I can, male or female... So, maybe a good group activity to get everyone more cozy at the next social (was thinking a pub quiz or something you perv!! ) "There are no strangers here only friends who have not yet met!"" karaoke....you need a karaoke social | |||
