"Ey up good folks 😃 The analogous anonymity bestowed upon us via online interaction may often serve to augment/‘boost’ many people’s natural confidence levels. Indeed and by way of verifying this point, how many folks simply walk up to random strangers in the street and immediately enquire if they would like to engage in relations of a carnal nature with them? In relation to the above, a simple question therefore my fine peeps: How confident are you in the ‘real world’ so to speak, as regards approaching and instigating communication with someone who has caught your eye? 🙂" I'm confident. But the thought of walking up to a random stranger in the street and asking if they'd like to fuck? I can imagine the reaction now. There's a major difference between making contact on a swingers website and approaching a complete stranger in a vanilla environment and discussing sex. I'd have assumed that was obvious, but maybe not......🤷♂️🤷♂️ | |||

"Sadly, if you don't practice chatting with others you eventually loose confidence. Not just in the swingers world but normal vanilla interaction too. In short, you become socially inept. If you don't feel confident try chatting to people who will easily respond. We have just had a weekend away in Wales and we spoke to loads of folks on the beach who had a dog, ask what breed, how old, say how beautiful the dog is and then say have a lovely day with a big smile and a bye. It builds up your confidence in a fool proof arena. Most people we have found who are socially inept are generally sexually inept too. Both very sad. " I don’t appreciate being randomly approached by strangers in public. I know that is one of the pitfalls of dog ownership so I am mindful where I walk so I can enjoy my walk. It’s not that people are socially inept they may choose not to engage. I see many who are always on their phones while out and about it’s just the way society is these days. | |||

It’s not that people are socially inept they may choose not to engage. I see many who are always on their phones while out and about it’s just the way society is these days. " If you don't wish to engage that's fine. Just out of curiosity, how would you react if I came up to you and patted your dog and said hello? I do believe people who choose not to have social engagement would eventually become socially inept, we are social animals and need engagement. I agree some need or in my case have to become proficient at engagement due to my job, some like it more than others. But this is a swingers site and I would have thought the majority of folks on here want, eventually, to meet. But we have met a few people who are extremely vocal in the forums but in real life no so much. I love chatting to folks, especially interesting people. Have fun. Liz. | |||

Gbat Garden centres are much easier I find,first of all a common interest,and secondly some plants and flowers have very sugestive names ,you can flirt without being too offensive " Prod them in the back whilst in the queue for the till with your courgette | |||

"I was always told to not speak to strangers so I don't. I have a resting bitch face when out. This usually attracts both males and females to say something obvious like 'Dont worry mate, cheer up it might never happen'. With males I will smirk back. With females I will then engage in witty banter, have their ears bleeding and their knickers wet through laughter. Perhaps." "Resting bitch face when out"? You have a face like a slapped arse all the time! 🤣🤣🤭🤭 | |||

"At a club I can walk up to anyone and start a conversation. In the real world I have nothing to say other than," did you see that ludicrous display last night?" "The thing about Arsenal is that they always try a walk it in" " A fellow football enthusiast. Lost a pony on last nights match, gutted. | |||

"I really don’t think confidence is the be all and end all. If someone’s attracted to you they’re not gonna have your intonation or posture under a microscope. I don’t think you can talk someone into finding you attractive either. Nor should you try. There’s no great mystery to it. If interest is there it can be added to with good conversation, and I think conversation is much easier when you’re just happy to be accepted as you are. " That's a very good point. Conversation without pushing things builds rapport - sometimes combined with attraction. I've always believed my success in a club/social setting comes from that, whereas my complete lack of success on Fab is probably purely down to lack of attraction based on even my decent photos and the fact that (although younger looking than my actual age) being 57 goes against me quite a lot. Things have certainly dried up since hitting my mid 50's. Some might say that's shallow, but for me it's just that many, MANY women have things set in stone. I'd rather focus on positivity, rather than the negatives, knowing some who have rejected me as a possible then go on to complain bitterly about the way other men go about things. Each to their own, but I'm 100% convinced I grow on people who appear to find me more attractive as time goes on, as opposed to having the instant 'Wow' factor. It's very rare I end up playing with someone the first time we meet, but have repeat interest from those I do have the privilege of playing with. Personality and gentlemanliness definitely pay dividends with high quality women. It's a huge hint for any man, though there are obviously women who couldn't care less about how decent a man is too. Each to their own. | |||

It can feel like you're really putting yourself in a vulnerable position - one where there's the very real chance of feeling really shit about yourself if it's a negative response. Can feel like being the only naked person in the room. Obviously I don't know you (my loss) but as others have said I'd suggest you're in a very strong position to get a positive response in any environment. | |||
