"To the single males who manage somehow to get meets and then do not turn up. Fucking it up for the genuine singles men like myself hitting our heads against a brick wall and reading profiles stating "No single males"" If my hypothetical friend decided with a few hours to spare that he was not going to turn up for a meeting at 15.00 this afternoon, how much notice would you want in order to get over from Alicante in order to stand in for me (oops, I mean him)? | |||

"From the responses it appears that it is ok for a female or couple to get themselves ready and look forward to a meet that fails to materialise at short notice" It’s not, and it sucked when it happened to me once. Shit happens though and just block and move on. But I’d bet money on that not being the main reason some people choose not to single guys. | |||

"To the single males who manage somehow to get meets and then do not turn up. Fucking it up for the genuine singles men like myself ….." Aren’t they just fucking it up for themselves? But, I do understand that we might get painted with the same brush by those not wise enough to see not everyone is the same.  | |||

"We had 2 no shows and Nata lost interest It was so confusing and felt unnecessary She lost interest in swinging for a couple of years Thankfully she has come back round and we met some lovely guys recently At last someone who understands my post" I think most of us understand it. We just disagree. I think there's a big amount of due diligence on both parties before a social or more. Someone failing to show up doesn't spoil it for other single men. But then I'm never going to be a meet now/today/this week while I'm in your area person. | |||

"To the single males who manage somehow to get meets and then do not turn up. Fucking it up for the genuine singles men like myself hitting our heads against a brick wall and reading profiles stating "No single males"" No……. That is absolutely a kop out statement! That is an “I’m absolutely blameless it’s everyone else’s fault “ answer! You do not effect how I go in my swinging … and I don’t effect how you are doing! I actually encourage people to put up the no single males sign, especially if they are new! It gives them breathing space without being swamped on by people… Also.. if they are interested in you.. they can still do that! I encourage them to be hunting rather than just the hunted | |||

If people were interested in meeting you they would. If people's someone's profile says they aren't interested in single men, it could be one of two things. 1 they aren't interested in any men or 2 they don't want to be bombarded with messages from men and prefer to make the first move. | |||

"It is not directed to all single males as per the opening sentence. Yes some do have genuine reasons for having to pull out from a meet but I read time and time again about people being let down. It's not a cry for help from me. I have been around for long enough. I have had my fair share of people disappearing into to the woodwork when it is getting close to a meet. I just feel sorry for people being let down. Wish I had never started the post. Adios as wont be bothering to read any more replies. Unfortunately I cannot delete it " you've had a rant about how you feel and a lot of people don't agree with you. Don't worry about it, just move on. | |||

"To be fair there seems to be a lot of no show couples and women before we tear down the men. Or at least that's what we here over the years from many people we have talked to about the lifestyle and the gist we get from the forums. Also something we both experienced as singles many years ago. Because of this and our lack of flexibility with free time we genrally don't look to meet anyone off here (bar the occasional temptation). We stay opportunist swingers meeting people in clubs, parties and just out and about in the vanilla world. Mr" No shows are not gender specific lol Loads of women and couples do it as well, never understood why only men get the blame for it | |||

"To the single males who manage somehow to get meets and then do not turn up. Fucking it up for the genuine singles men like myself hitting our heads against a brick wall and reading profiles stating "No single males"" Still not sure how your two sentences connect. What is the correlation between men not turning up for meets and women putting 'no single men'? Some women may not want to meet men, some may only want to meet couples, some may like to meet married men only. How does it affect you? Surely if someone has put 'no single men' it just helps you with your selection process. | |||

"From the responses it appears that it is ok for a female or couple to get themselves ready and look forward to a meet that fails to materialise at short notice" Exactly, also, hotel room expenses, child care, our time is valuable to us (as is most peoples). We'd had a few no shows lately and it's really not ok. Obviously we understand this is happen from time to time but when we've arranged a meet 4 weeks in advance to be told a few days before the meet "sorry I've double booked you" feels very unreasonable.

"When we first joined we met a single guy a few times and played it was great. Then he just didn’t turn up to a meet we’d arranged (we’d paid for hotel etc) We opened up our profile again to single men the other year and arranged 10 social meets over the month. 8 cancelled 1 just didn’t turn up and the guy we met I didn’t like! Hey ho. Then the other week we’d been chatting to a couple of guys, arranged socials, both cancelled. This is why I’m fed up with wasting my time on single guy profiles Mrs J "And to that I always say… if you know you are after a particular type of person, don’t wait on them to come to you!… a no single guy’s block doesn’t stop you from making the first move!

This is why the majority of people I meet have come from networking at clubs and socials. No stress of 'will someone turn up?' to a one to one social you've had to arrange yourself.
Plus you generally tend to get 'known' in those situations. Word of mouth amongst friends has led to many a meet for people I know. Works both ways of course. If you get a less than favourable reputation word travels fast, but that's on you to ensure it doesn't happen. Find a good group of friends and it generally leads to ongoing introductions without having to rely solely on the Internet to make new contacts. 😁 | |||
