According to an article in the Daily Mail today, think that number is right? Sounds a bit on the high side to me.

The number is probably right, but they forgot the all-important word "active".

Depends on their definition of a swinger, seems like a lot. Surely there would be a lot more clubs if it was genuinely that high.

No idea if that number is right or not and how they got figures. Only thing I can say for certain is there are far more swingers out there than most people realise. That is from my experiences over many years. All sorts of people do this and you would never guess some do

Maybe they enabled “single men” in their profile before posting a meet in “anything anywhere” then published the unopened messages count after an hour 🤣

It depends what they define as swingers. If they are referring to individuals who have at some stage in their life experienced a threesome, foursome or moresome then they might be right. However this is clearly a click bait article designed to offend their more sensitive readers.

Independent fact checkers have found that 51% of stories in the Daily Mail are “false or misleading” By definition, if it’s your main source of information, you are misinformed. Wikipedia banned the Mail as a source declaring it “an unreliable source”.

They’re counting all the people in the parks.

They don’t specify what kind of swinging

3Some of these numbers are naturally skewed, a couple can have a shared account and two individual accounts.

so what looks like 4 people is actually two. so half that original number and it will be closer to the truth.

They got their evidence from the Daily Express. Lazy journalism at its finest.

I’d say it wouldn't be far off but no one would ever know as a lot wouldn’t say they were. Although the definition of a swinger is vastly different depends on who you talk to. If you were counting singles in that then easily.

There’s 4 sites that we’ve joined since we’ve been on the scene and a number of them are for international people too, so I’d say British people would use those sites over this whilst abroad.

We’ve been to parties that have had 300 plus people. There’s loads of clubs/private parties/friends getting together every week.

Then there’s different generations - from 18 through to 70 year olds - I think that figure would be close.

There's probably a shft pattern going on. Swingers are always governed by shifts.

FOI won’t help you with this one, as private company, FAB doesn’t have to respond them. They can only send you any personalised data they hold about you, and gained in the course of a transaction. This is covered by GDPR laws.

- otherwise, I already have the recipes for KFC, CokeCola and Irn Bru 🤣
