Evening all your beauties

So what are your experiences of the planned socials … not the 1-1 but the event type …where like minded folk attend.

Did they work out for you?

Would you do them again?

Are you a frequent attendee?

I've been to a few different ones now and they can definitely be overwhelming if you're a quiet/reserved type of person. If you're not in the right zone they can be stressful too.

Otherwise it's a great way to meet people. Put yourself out there and connect where you can

Never been but I actually have my name down for 2 later in the year.

It's 50/50 if I'll actually go though, I think they're just too sociable for me.

We’ve been to loads & not been to a bad one. A great way to connect with others that you might not consider from their Fab profile & get the all important verifications

Years ago I organised a few in Edinburgh and they were fun nights. It's hard work but I think everyone who attended had a good night. I went out of my way to make sure everyone was interacting and chatting with others and it filled my wee soul.

I've been to a few Glasgow socials over the years and again, a lot of work goes into them.

I'm looking forward to my first lounge social though. I think it will be a very different night out as there's so many people I've already chatted with and can't wait to meet in person.

So organised socials are a yes from me.

I've really enjoyed them for the most part, I'm definitely enjoying them a lot more currently.

They're great to go to with someone - whether that's a lover or a friend it can be good to have that person with you. And they might change their mind and think they're not half bad.

They can be a tad overwhelming at times, new place, new people, loud... I guess it depends on the one you go to. Different socials have different vibes/people that attend.

If you find the right one and put in the effort, not only will you singalong to Hamilton, you'll also get a chance to flirt, meet some fantastic people whose friendship can transcend Fab. And dance. Poorly.

There are a couple I'm planning on going to in the coming months. I need to decide which ones are definite before the end of the month. :D

Normally you find single guys are limited on some social, there's definitely more couples and single ladies than single guys

I think if you know some of the people going, they're an absolute blast as you have the people you know as a safety blanket and that gives you confidence to chat to new people. It can be very daunting and overwhelming with how many people are there but the ones I've been to haven't been cliquey as I'd worried and people are more than happy to chat

I only started with the swinging thing in April. The first one I went to in Manchester I went saying to myself that I would only stay for an hour and a half. I stayed all night and had a blast. I have been to 4 group socials since including the Manchester MLS, and Up the Brum. I highly recommend them. I don't go having expectations. And I see them as a way to make friends with like minded people. If I make sexy connections too then great but I don't treat it as my goal. I did a post about group socials a while ago. I will find it and put it here.

I think as long as you mingle a little there really fun, if you stand in a corner and expect everyone to approach you not so much, it's a bit like fab you get out what you put in.

In my experience everyone is friendly and it's a great way to meet new people.

"If you don’t mind.

If anyone likes his type of social, this idea was born for and from the lounge …

https://m.fabswingers.com/forum/meets/1472396 "

No offence…. This is where you have to be an OG… this is nowhere near the right answer!

This might of been the post COVID reboot… but the fab socials were things of lore

You could almost set out a timetable and diary…. Wigan taking over a cricket club, 400 at the Glasgow social, persuading a Nottingham city centre pub to go private on a Saturday night to let 300 of us party, booking out 3 wings of a hotel in Doncaster, getting 3 buses to take people post social in Newcastle to a curry house

Birmingham, Bristol, Southampton, Essex , the gay village in Manchester, the Cardiff takeover of an Aussie pub!

A few things back then…

I have only been to one. There were some lovely people there, but unfortunately it was overshadowed by a couple of women that have to “hold court”, otherwise known as bore the ass of you.

I might have to venture further afield at some point, but I treat club visits as socials…. Unless they become naughtier

"Ive had my name down for a few but never made it. I shall try again but I may have to try and make a friend before hand to walk in with or I may not get through the door. "

I’ll second what Meli said. If we end up going to the same social I’ll gladly walk in with you and keep you company until you are comfortable with being there. That’s the daunting part

Went to a Couple Years ago when I was first on here..

Totally insane for a Newbie to Socials but I've bitten the bullet and am off to UtB9 on my own (If you see someone sat in the Corner for a while.. that'll be me!)

It's a great way to meet People You Wouldn't/Couldn't play with and just chat with them about everything.

No Play means no pressure for that click but yeah, it worked for Me..

Highly recommend going to One (or 10) and just chilling with People who aren't going to judge you or critisise your lifestyle and just have a bloody good laugh about anything from Halls Soothers to a particual drink

I've met the best people at socials, my besties for life, the love of my life and others I've made amazing memories with! Socials have enabled paths to cross that have brought the happiest (and sexiest) times since joining fab, long may it continue!

Covent Garden

I've attended a handful of London socials. The Bank Social was my first one and I was extremely nervous and hesitant in attending, because I didn't really know what I had signed up for! It was also very convenient to get to and I knew that I could bail out if my nerves got the better of me.

I previously attended the (now defunct) 'City Social' which was a much smaller affair but thoroughly enjoyable - it was like a dinner party in a wine bar.

I recently mentioned The Central North London Social, which is now the stalwart of the London-based socials. I've only been a couple of times and these have been a genuinely fantastic experience, a perfect conduit to meet some truly wonderful, engaging, inclusive but bat-shit crazy Forumites!

I still find them a daunting experience because of nervousness and the "going alone Billy no mates" sense of feeling.

I'm attending the next Manchester Social in September. This is a big step for me as it's my first non-London social.

No offence…. This is where you have to be an OG… this is nowhere near the right answer!

This might of been the post COVID reboot… but the fab socials were things of lore

You could almost set out a timetable and diary…. Wigan taking over a cricket club, 400 at the Glasgow social, persuading a Nottingham city centre pub to go private on a Saturday night to let 300 of us party, booking out 3 wings of a hotel in Doncaster, getting 3 buses to take people post social in Newcastle to a curry house

Birmingham, Bristol, Southampton, Essex , the gay village in Manchester, the Cardiff takeover of an Aussie pub!

A few things back then…

1) organisers use to liaise with each other so they didn’t clash and they were spaced apart

2) people from all over the country use to go and make weekends of them

3) they were not affiliated with clubs… social literally meant socialising and in that respect you didn’t have to limit different groups because you knew they were non play events (what you did after was up to you)

The thought of a massive group social makes me shiver.

Have you met Fred & Wilma at UTB? They organise LichVegas but have attended the Leeds social

Love them, love chatting to like-minded people about the scene. I need to build a rapport with someone before having fun so the socials allow me to do that in a no-pressure environment. Mrs

I use to attend the organised London socials fairly regularly before lockdown and always found them a good night out with the opportunity to make some connections for future adult events or 1 to 1 adult fun.I attended my first social for 3 years at the start of the year and it was a good night out and I hope to attend more in the near future.For me it’s about making the time to attend which I don’t always do.

I’ve been to a good few. A bit of flirting with like minded people. I’ve ended up in clubs afterwards. I even got invited back to a small house get together after. That was a late night. Lol.

"Evening all your beauties

So what are your experiences of the planned socials … not the 1-1 but the event type …where like minded folk attend.

Did they work out for you?

Would you do them again?

Are you a frequent attendee?

"

I did try to go to one recently unfortunately it wasn't advertised in the meets section so i was late getting to it and even though i was a few weeks before the event no places left for guys, they were still advertising for women and couples the day before, such is life

We love them, like a few that mentioned it before, the utb socials are always good, great venues and such a great mix of people. The organisers really go to town ensuring everyone has a good night. We've met some wonderful people through their events. Looking to attend many more socials when we're not actually doing life things.

Totally agree, I was at UtB1 in the Jewellry Quarter 3yrs ago and had a laugh
