A dim view of socials….

I’ve noticed more people seem to be unkeen on socials. Reasons include, ‘its a sex site’, ‘its not a dating site’, ‘I/we don't have time’, ‘I/we don't like them’, ‘they’re a waste of time’.

One thought might be, well don't engage with people who dislike socials. Thats one idea but what else can one do to find a happy medium?

What other methods are there that aren’t a social, but are more than photos and messages, that can put your mind at rest you're dealing with a real genuine person….

Clubs you don’t need to go there for sex

If I am at a club I am not necessarily looking for sex just out to socials in a safe environment and be myself if sex comes to me it’s a bonus if not then it’s all good I had a grate time talking to people

I think photos and messages covers it. I'm pretty sure some users here now know I am indeed a sexy 33 year old man and not a 57 year old called Barry.

But other than that a video call is proof no?

I can't say I've noticed this, but isn't it just another form of filter?

If you like a social and they don't, is it just a way of knowing it won't go any further?

Whatever floats your boat. I like one to one, no obligation, socials. It gives both parties the opportunity to change their mind if things aren’t what they thought.

I’d also meet some people in person just because they interest me. Not everything’s about sex.

We've had online/messaging compatibility that was zero chemistry in person. And the exact opposite. So if someone doesn't want a social or to meet at club then we're not meeting.

I suppose it's not just proof you are who you say you are, but also checking whether you click personality wise to decide whether you actually want sex with them as some may come across differently in real life compared to over messages as well

One to one socials "

I've only twice played with someone after messaging for months, video calls (which I loathe) and frequent but sexually-charged phone calls — all of which took weeks or months of building up the frisson, tension and chemistry.

However, a social for me is a prerequisite: call it courtship, dating , woo'ing or a gin fuelled flirtfest. Ordinarily I won't play without a social first. I don't care what this site is: for me it's a dating site.

I meet in a hotel, so it can be a social only for a drink or progress to sexual.

Perhaps profiles could have options for socials being essential first, so that we could search and filter more easily

We're not anti socials however it's not really something we've done much of. BTW way we're assuming your talking about private one on one socials.

For us the scene is actually often far more social than sexual for us (we can be a bit choosy and fickle when it comes to who we jump into bed with). So really we're not against the social side. However we don't have a lot of free time and we like to maximise our chances of having a great time socially and sexually. So when you arrange a meet with an individual or couple online you really don't know how you're going to take to them in person till you meet. Then if it doesn't go well you're a night down (that probably was nice but not maximised) and potentially in a pressured and/or awkward situation. So this is why we like clubs, parties, organised socials and nights out in the vanilla world. Because we have in one night selection and the freedom to move around meeting people and taking them as we find them. No pressure, no expectations, just being social (and maybe sexual) butterflies meeting lost of people.

Likewise we would not like the expectations of sex with people we've only interacted with online first time either. So if we were to it would be with the aim of being social. However when it comes to clubs, parties etc it's nice to have the option to take it to a room if things work out that way. And to be fair although we would want a one on one meet with any expectations or plans of sex it'd be nice for us to maybe have a hotel room or something booked should things unexpectedly heat up. We totally get why people don't want to use their free time social only. We no some people really do fuck so easily and that is the main focus. But thats not for us as any expectations or pressure would be off-putting, however always nice to have that unspoken option should things go really well.

I suppose for us it's not so much we're social only or not. It's we're not so much for expectations or being in a limited situation with an individual or couple who we don't really know if we'll vibe with. Plus we often like a good orgy of which is not so much an option one on one

couple, us we him her.

Not sure how you can just turn up and fuck someone without meeting them first, messages don't ever tell the whole story and pictures can be easily edited.

We've had socials with people who give great message but in person very very different.

Much better to waste time with a social, proof if proof needed we've never had a bad play meet ever.

I believe it's due to having a social before ensuring compatibility.

We've been catfished twice, one was a good 10+ years than her profile stated.

I've chatted to people on here that's gone amazing but in person zero chemistry and the opposite too met people at socials that have been amazing but wouldn't have looked twice at their profile on here.

The larger organised socials maybe a good idea OP?

Clubs are the only way around it, you can socialise and then take it further if needs be. The biggest problem is that we all have different communication styles. Some people can come across as bone dry online but be a good time in person and vice versa. It's different meeting privately for a woman and I'm not gonna compromise my safety because they can't be arsed to meet socially beforehand.

Clubs are a great option, you can arrange to meet someone at a club to "chat & see how things go". If you get on, then you can progress to play otherwise you can tell them you're not interested and leave them too it.

We prefer socials and have played on first date, our rules are simple

If the profile is well verified, or a friend of a friend and we have established good rapport then quick social with intention to play is fine with us as it saves everyone time.

If it is someone new or we are getting that oh not so sure kind of feeling, then first meet is strictly social.

We try not to commit to play before first meets though as it puts unecessary pressure on everyone plus our prep for a social vs play meet is very different.

Being a single woman I want a social first for a feeling of safety and trust. People can use outdated or fake photos and messages can be tailored to be what you want to hear. Messages can be thought out and worded well but in person having to answer on the spot can be quite telling.

Videos, video calls, voice notes all help. But in person is better.

I've had it where I've been able to have great conversations over the phone or messages with someone but as soon as I laid eyes on them in person it was 'nope that's not happening'.

I like to be able to leave a social and when I'm back home tell them if want to meet them again.

I've broken this more than once in certain instances and that's sometimes been down to distance.

It does feel like less people are ok with a social first on fab these days. It's been a major stumbling block.

I think everyone should be comfortable and have their needs met. I think it works quite well as the ones that don't want a social can engage with the numerous profiles on here with the same viewpoint.

I think there's nothing like a face to face social to see if there's mutual attraction and you hit it off.

Ive spoken to people, seen pics and thought we'd hit it off, we didn't click in person. I've had the opposite too, resisted meeting someone as I didn't think he'd be for me. We had a social, got on like a house on fire and we met for a couple of years.

When I was single I had men say well it's not a dating site etc & I just stopped engaging. I'll want a social first, with someone I might get naked with.

Socials are good to see if there’s a connection. If there is then back to theirs/ yours or arrange a date. If not enjoy the drink/ chat/ coffee and move on.

It would depend what you expect to get from a social. If you’re they sort of people that needs to build some form of connection prior to sex, then there’s no real alternative to a social. Other than arranging a meet and leaving if you decide it’s not for you.

We don’t do socials because we’re not interested in making a connection, but then we’re not swingers in the traditional sense so maybe not a good example

"I can't say I've noticed this, but isn't it just another form of filter?

If you like a social and they don't, is it just a way of knowing it won't go any further?"

Wherever I lay my hat

I like to meet for a drink first and - if the chemistry is there - go and bang. I make it clear that sex isn't a dead cert. I would say that 95 of single guys are fine with this (admittedly that might change when I say I'm not DTF). It's couples that approach me that seem to want a cast iron guarantee of a shag so it's interesting to read the couples responses on here in particular.

Right behind you…. Boo

Socials are great as they help determine the chemistry levels (as others have already said). They are especially good in a bar because I get better looking if someone is drinking.

Yeah found socials or munches a much better way to meet people but to be fair I wouldn't say this side is geared towards it

I find socials really quite important, on the occasions I've met with no social, almost all of them have been disappointing in some way.

Not all would have been changed by a social but most would.

Because of this, it's usually something I insist on

For single men, unless you are hung like a donkey, have a six pack and are 6ft and over, you NEED to go to socials, to actually meet people and let them see what you are like.

OBVIOUSLY, for me, someone with no personality, no style or charm, who is short fat and ugly, even socials do not matter as no one wants to shag me anyways. But at least I get to go out and talk to people.

which is something I suppose

I definitely prefer a social first, both to check the chemistry and for safety - you need to pass the "not a murderer" test!

I see it that if both people are genuine and serious about meeting up, they'll both find time to do it. People these days are very self interested and aren't willing to be a little selfless to make things work. If a person is only in it for themselves and don't think about the other people involved at all, it's not really going to work very well. Either the interaction flops or someone is taken advantage of and then may very well become colder and more selfish themselves.

Definitely a social first and then decide from that. It might take me a couple of socials with that person before I decide.

I'm not in a rush to just jump into bed with someone I'm not sure about...
