We was going to meet this couple (who I won't name)but then found out that the guy has only one leg....not a problem but why not put it on your profile it's deceitful for people who it does bother....not meeting because he has one leg but the fact they don't tell anyone untill they have a proper naughty meet....your thoughts guys right or wrong??

think you made too much of it tbh..

why not meet them socially and if you all get on and want to, you may have had some good fun..?

if folk turn up at a social and they are plainly not whom they said they were or looked in pictures exchanged etc thats different..

think you have over reacted on that particular 'issue'..

its a leg..

you may not even notice it depending on the phrosthetic etc..

if the guy had a syrup and never said so which then fell off at an inconvenient time then yes that would be a 'ah moment'..

No a do you need to tell people your disabled....it's quite a important thing to mention don't you think.....I use to be on dialysis and had a tube hanging from my stomach and I defiantly mention it on my profile to cause any awkwardness too the other couple !!

if they told you before the meet, they were honest.

you may have preferred it on the profile and as most threads on the profile subject 'their choice'

I agree that this isnt an over reaction. If it isnt on the profile at least tell people at early stages. People shouldnt leave it until the meet is arranged and suddenly pop up with "oh and by the way....."

I would prefer to know in advanced so that I can make an informed choice.

Plus the guy with one leg is also setting himself up for a lot of disappointment if he doesnt tell people, they turn up then get annoyed or he finds out that a one legged man isnt their cup of tea.

Logic and common sense say that it is something that should be upfront.

What do you omit on your profile to increase your chances of meeting? Talk to people, meet socially and then play if there is an attraction.

It may not be something that they even consider.

I agree that people should give an accurate and uptodate image of themselves but we also have a responsibility to ask what is important for our own fun.

On the one hand, I do feel slightly that they should have made this clear in the early stages of chatting, but you do seem to be continuing to talk to this couple - have I understood that right?? If so, i don't feel it's right to discuss this in the forums tbh - something just doesn't feel right about doing it.

It must be hard enough for them to swing with a handicap anyway. Don't honestly feel this is helping them. If you have a problem with it, then that is for you to overcome, isn't it...?

Ok quite rightly as the discretion thing has reared it head after a certain post on this thread I have to agree that its not fair to discuss other people and their meets in public,as funny as I found the post to be,and still do as I have a morbid nurses sense of humour

If ive taken posts off its because they're not really fair to someone that is'nt on here to have their say too

They haven't told us that's exactly it we've heard from another couple who was put in a predicament with it....were not meeting this couple now but not for the disabled reason more of the deceitful reason....if you was pregnant ladies and on the site don't you

Put yourselves in their shoes. What you see as deceit, they may read as embarrassment, shame or fear of rejection on their part. If it's a no-no for you because you can't cope with the thought of a one-legged guy, then fair enough, but please don't shroud it in something else.

We don't meet people in wheelchairs - not because we have anything against them, but Cracklings daughter uses a wheelchair and when we meet, she wants to get away from her 'normal' world and not be reminded of it. BUT... we have told the small number of wheelchair users who have approached us on Fabs exactly why and they have been fine with it and understood.

The question i would be asking was if they were deceptive like that what else could they be lying about.

Its something i would want to know about along with if some was D&D clean, married, borne a woman and many others. I was told swinging was supposed to be about being honest with people.

I think we all know what's going to happen/not happen at a first meet from the general gist of the conversation before the meet takes place. If play is expected then I think having one leg is quite pertinent and it should be mentioned.

I think they should have said in a message, that way you would have had the chance to say that you either were still interested or not. I wouldn't say its particularly deceitful though unless you asked him if he had a head, 2 arms and 2 legs and he lied, then yes that would have been deceitful.

I prefer to meet socially first so I would have known then, at that point, I could then decide on whether to meet again or not based on what the couple are like, rather than turning them down at a play meet because he didn't mention he only had one leg

Well you have told the whole forums!

Perhaps you should have been honest with the couple as to why you didn't want to meet, and you could have descretly told them via pm!

they would have been my first and only port of call and I would have been honest. I would have asked the other couple too, if they had been honest to them as well.

respect we differ on what we both see as relevant to being told etc..

but are you saying you hav'nt discussed the real reason with them why you felt unable to meet..?

if that is how i read it..

try putting yourself in their position if you logged on and read the actual reason...

when it comes to sex and your body you have every right to be discriminatory so i wouldn't worry about the admin kicking you out for choosing not to meet someone for whatever reason you choose.

As for if you are overreacting im a little on the fence about it.It would depend on how far along in the "get to know you" messages you were. I don't think it needs to be in the profile or in the initial message but it should come up in the "tell me about yourself?" messages.

I don't understand why you would call the meet off if it didn't bother you, personally I think it does bother you but you don't want to admit is in fear of looking shallow

If I really liked someone and wanted to meet them I wouldn't call off the meet because I found something out that didn't bother me anyway because it may bother someone else

Sorry guys but I spent 15 years working witht the armed forces & know many soldiers & royal marines that have come back from Afghanistan with whole or partial limbs missing.

These guys are hero's to me, and I know that soem will find their disability a turn off but I for one would not.

So as long as you ar told before meet that they have a limb missing or a disability then what difference does it make. xx

I hang playmates from hooks, shackle them to wall brackets. It would be off putting having to conduct a medical questionnaire and risk assessment before playing.

I agree with the op. They should mention this on their profile then people can make their own choice. The couple obviously know some people wouldn't like it and that's probably why they don't mention it. I feel they should be honest about it and in my opinion you are not over reacting. X
