Bit of a strange one here.

I am picky on the women I message on here. Personally I think that's a good thing BUT I have found that 99% of the women on here are only looking for veterans.

OK fair enough. Although does this hinder the growing younger population of swingers nsa fun noobs coming through.

OK granted Im not the greatest looking guy on here and refuse to put a cock pic up but it does seem interesting.

(Don't think I'm complaining I'm just wandering if anyone else has noticed this)

i think it is more interesting OP that you picked up on either all the things you won't do... or the things you can't control.... to leave yourself blameless...

see.... its real easy to blame everything around you for your woes..... its a lot harder for people to ask "well what i can i do to improve my chances!"

after all... we were all new once, and people must be doing something!!!

No usually read messages with no reply

Never an instant block and rarely and instant delete. Is this a case of women holding out for better and I'm back up.

I dont mind I have met one lovely lady on here. But one in there years

May well be that I'm a single bloke

Yes. I appreciate this. It's just a random observation. I'm not bothered about it. I just wandered if anyone else has experienced it of if I'm just talking off Base here .

so if you get no reply, where do you get the stupid idea its something to do with how long you've been on here,(over a year according to your profile)?...why don't you consider what else it might be?

no, not really. so if a woman reads a message, but doesnt reply, but does not instantly delete it, you think she is interested? seriously?..so do you then message again, just to check?

I think we are slightly off topic here. I was just explaining what I meant by an auto delete.

If I were to get a mail from someone who I have absolutely no interest in then to be fair I would reply (and have today in fact to a ts but thanking for the interest) then delete the message.

If I were interested them I would not delete the message. That way I can get in touch with that person quickly and when they were online next.

That's just me tho. Maybe I'm too nice??

I don't message them again. Should I? I'm not in the business of being blocked. Is this where I'm going wrong? And missed out on this wonderful world by not writing a followup message?

no,its not off topic,you specifically said you wanted to find out what else might be hindering you...if someone does not reply,they are not interested. that should be crystal clear to anyone. it makes no sense to then decide that people are 'close minded' for not wanting to meet 'newbies'...seems a very odd and entirley baseless conclusion to come to.

and no, you should definitely not message them again. if someone is interested ,they will reply. if they dont, then you can safely assume they aren't.when or whether they decide to delete the message is pretty irrelevant if they don't reply.

Well that's fair enough. And I am not disagreeing with you. Hey this is what the forums are for.

What does not help is the number of people close to me who put if you have not had a few veries then don't bother. This DID not help the conclusion.

I have had one verification by one meet.

Hey. If I'm wrong I'm wrong. As you can tell I'm new to this so don't shoot me

By veteran swinger I mean.

1. A decent amount of varies

2. Been here for ages

3. Always on campus

4. Often at clubs

Think that covers vet status

No worries, it wasn't worded brilliantly and no punctuation used to show there was a question but it wasn't really that hard to work out.

Yes, I do think more people are looking for people to be verified before they start talking to them which can seem like a bit of a catch 22.

Personally I would stop looking at my sent items to see who has read or deleted what. If you get a reply message in your inbox that's all the evidence you need. You'll drive yourself crazy if you look to see if it's been read or deleted or not. Not everyone manages their inbox in the same way.

Good on you for standing by your no cock pick thing, to some women that important although personally I like to see what I'm gonna be gettingy lips round lol

Just keep plugging away, be polite be individual to their profile sell your self bit don't over sell yourself.

For what it's worth, OP, our experience is that there are some people who like meeting younger people, there are some who don't because they have kids of a similar age. I couldn't put a percentage on it, but I would guess that many people on here fall outwith many people's age preferences. You just have to concentrate on the ones where you are compatible.

And Fabio is right, try not to see failure as someone else not letting you get some, but rather see it as confirmation that you haven't yet got it right yourself. We've only ever sent out 5 pm's looking for a meet, and every one was deleted unanswered.

Personally, the advice you were given last time about trying a club is worth revisiting.

This is more what I was looking for. Cheers guys. The last few comments have been constructive. Thanks.

As far as the clubs are concerned. I would love to go to one. Would rather have someone else to come with for the first time. Just to get to know it a little.

Call me scared... yes.

I have visions of everyone snagging in every corner of the place

Which is cool but for the first time would be like OMG...

Don't waste time looking to see if a message has been read or not. It makes not one iota of difference and will only serve to feed the disillusionment monster that hides beneath a thin veneer of fab confidence.
