Morning sexy people, I think it’s abit too much to say the forum is boring @diprock. What bothers me is how we use and apply the word OPEN MINDED and How we interact on Fabswingers.com. This word appears In more than 90 percent of the profiles of this site . Each time I see that word on a profile and send a message to any the obvious question is have you got a picture? Then for me sure is the answer with an attachment of a picture. If lucky I might get a reply saying oh nice without an accompanying picture, or if very lucky there’s reply comes with one . On the other hand if unlucky there’s either no response total ignorance or worst case situation is when it’s someone who perhaps knows you and say not for me or a block . All this leaves me with a tonne of questions. 1-Is swinging not a lifestyle? If u see me on you on. We are all in.why hide ? 2- won’t it be great for us to know who swings and who doesn’t up or down ur street so we better respect norms, people preferences , better manage privacy where families or personal preferences are concerned? I do understand it take some time for some people to have that guts to accept who they are really but most often some are just shy . With all these in consideration and how the big Question 3 is the word OPEN MINDED rightly used in the swinging world? Opinions will be greatly appreciated. All the above just make me to pay a great respect to how far LGBT has come and the success. I wish and hope Swinging should follow that pathway xxx. What do you guys think?

It is boring at times though you can't hide the fact. As for being open minded well people claim to be but in reality so many really aren't.

Read it 3 times and still don't understand what point you are trying to make.

Is it that open minded people should just meet everyone.

Is it that open minded people should tell all and sundry that they swing?

I'm confused

Open minded to me means that you will accept other people's opinions and on fab sexual preferences while not necessarily agreeing with or wanting to join in with them.

It isn't about declaring those opinions or preferences to all and sundry.

Manners might not by themselves cost anything. But the admin work and dealing with the abuse that follows, do cost. So the norm has developed that delete without reply means no thank you.

I’m not really sure I understand.

Being open minded doesn’t mean having to respond to all mail.

Swinging is most certainly not a lifestyle for everyone. Ask a tonne of people and you’ll get a different answer from each.

I have no desire personally to know who swings in my street, I certainly won’t be playing with them and it wouldn’t help with my privacy or that of my families at all. And I consider that very important, I’m not shy, it’s not about guts, there’s a bit more involved than that in some people’s lives.

I don’t think any of these really impact on most people’s views of open mindedness when it comes to swinging. I personally think those views are much more sexually based when people announce it on their profile. But always if ever in doubt, check it out. Ask

I’d give an opinion but I can’t understand what point you’re making. I’m open minded, I am open to people doing whatever makes them happy. I’m not open minded to having sex with everyone who’s interested in us and if our preferences don’t align I’m not interested. I won’t judge someone’s way, but I don’t want to do things or people that aren’t my cup of tea - Mrs

And sometimes we reply saying no thanks and explaining and that is an answer and not indicative of a closed mind, if you’re good looking but look like my brother or my uncle or my ex I won’t fuck you.

No. No I do not want anyone to recognise me walking down the street. There are many professions (mine being one of them) where I would find myself unemployed very quickly if some of my more interesting lifestyle choices were made public, swinging being one of them.

Being open minded (and believe me as long as all parties are consenting, there isn't much I wouldn't try) is not the same as having no need to keep my swinging and my professional or my family life separate.

I think he's saying that revealing your face to someone is an act of making yourself vulnerable and it's unfair when it's not at least reciprocated. I've had a few conversations clam up immediately after sending a face pic and it's impossible not to find that at least a tiny bit hurtful, even if of course nobody should be obliged to continue an interaction, there's a certain degree of politeness to at least sending one back before you say 'thanks but no thanks' or whatever.

It’s not shady.

I’ll send a face pic to those I’m interested in. I’m not gonna send my face to someone I’m not interested in.

If people choose to send me face pics, that’s on them. That’s their choice. I don’t owe them one in return.

Why is it shady to hide your identity given that swinging is still a frowned upon, unusual expression of sexuality?

If you don't want to show who you are, don't, but it'll cost you meets. Everyone gets to make their own calculation.

Very true but as stated on the post most people fear, are shy which is normal but they either block and unable to even talk while having an image of u and you don’t have theirs . Hope u get the point which leads me trying to understand the word open minded in their profile. I don’t have a definitive answer that’s why the post and everyone’s opinion is helpful. Thanks

haven't been through all the treads but Open Minded in the context of swinging means many different things to many different people, used like genuine, honest, professional. It sounds good!

Truthfully Open Minded means you accept all possibilities, non judgemental, non hypocritical or sanctimonious, Open to possibilities and experiences. Doesn't mean you have to partake but to respect individuals and their difference.

Sadly non of this is the case else swinging lifestyle would be a positive utopia.

It depends on how you define it.

I define it in terms of kink. Your kink is not my kink, but your kink is OK.

I don't define it in terms of handing my identity out or accepting anyone who comes my way.

Morning sexy people, I think it’s abit too much to say the forum is boring @diprock. What bothers me is how we use and apply the word OPEN MINDED and How we interact on Fabswingers.com.

haven't been through all the treads but Open Minded in the context of swinging means many different things to many different people, used like genuine, honest, professional. It sounds good!

Truthfully Open Minded means you accept all possibilities, non judgemental, non hypocritical or sanctimonious, Open to possibilities and experiences. Doesn't mean you have to partake but to respect individuals and their difference.

Sadly non of this is the case else swinging lifestyle would be a positive utopia. You would think it would get better this day and age, but couldn't be further from the truth and acceptance is a very rare commodity on the scene. Been on the scene too long and have become quite cynical how it has changed and not for the better, being Open Minded means nothing really as the other terms above do these days im hoping will change someday just as LGBT "

Sadly I think all pretty hope has gone from the scene, and all you do is find yourself picking bones of what was once a liberated, open minded accepting lifestyle. All things change it is a natural order, but no aways for the better.

Sure I could write a book on the changing dynamics of the swinging lifestyle, and the influences circumstances that have affected that change. But hey too old and enjoying myself too much to start writing books, papers and thesis.

"No. No I do not want anyone to recognise me walking down the street. There are many professions (mine being one of them) where I would find myself unemployed very quickly if some of my more interesting lifestyle choices were made public, swinging being one of them.

Being open minded (and believe me as long as all parties are consenting, there isn't much I wouldn't try) is not the same as having no need to keep my swinging and my professional or my family life separate."
Very True I think some people might take advantage and get mixed social and professional milieu as say getting turned on is a hormonal issue which sometimes difficult to control and might make others uncomfortable. But I ask again is acceptance of who u are not stronger to keeping you positive and firm than having that hidden secret which you are not comfortable with in public ????????

I don’t think so at all but I think it’s rude to first accept to talk to someone and then ask for their picture and don’t send yours and stop chatting . Do you think so?

"I’m not really sure I understand.

Being open minded doesn’t mean having to respond to all mail.

Swinging is most certainly not a lifestyle for everyone. Ask a tonne of people and you’ll get a different answer from each.

I have no desire personally to know who swings in my street, I certainly won’t be playing with them and it wouldn’t help with my privacy or that of my families at all. And I consider that very important, I’m not shy, it’s not about guts, there’s a bit more involved than that in some people’s lives.

I don’t think any of these really impact on most people’s views of open mindedness when it comes to swinging. I personally think those views are much more sexually based when people announce it on their profile. But always if ever in doubt, check it out. Ask"
may I ask if you will be able to chat with them without hiding you identity even though you don’t wanna play with them ?

If you open your mind too much, your brains may fall out!

I am happy to ignore fetishes and lifestyles that don't hold any appeal for me, so long as they are harmless. I am happy to socialise and be friendly with people that hold widely different views to me.

But being selectively blind to people's foibles is not being open minded, it's just going normal.

There is a big element of a attraction which cannot be ignored.

They did a very big survey of women in America and asked what attracted women, created two similar profiles which were similar but with slightly different images but same profile, then produced a poster, put up each poster in turn, then surveyed initial reaction.

Bit pointless showing their face if they have no further interest in meeting.

That's their choice. Personally i don't see the point in sending face pics if they aren't interested anymore.

In my experience sending a face pic to someone usually puts an end to any interest.

If someone sends a face picture that we haven't asked for we don't feel obliged to reciprocate.

A face pic is pretty essential. I'm actually not that interested in classically good looking people but it's just nice to see who you're meeting

"Read it 3 times and still don't understand what point you are trying to make.

I'm confused

I think he's saying that revealing your face to someone is an act of making yourself vulnerable and it's unfair when it's not at least reciprocated. I've had a few conversations clam up immediately after sending a face pic and it's impossible not to find that at least a tiny bit hurtful, even if of course nobody should be obliged to continue an interaction, there's a certain degree of politeness to at least sending one back before you say 'thanks but no thanks' or whatever. "

Ah that makes sense. I agree with that. We do reciprocate if we have asked but not always if it’s arrived unsolicited

Apparently it's my 'male resting bitch face' I thought it was an "enigmatic half-smile like the Mona Lisa". I've also been told I "look unusual". Don't seem to scare people in clubs with the same face though! I think people say they're being picky but in reality they're just window-shopping and not super-motivated to meet anyway.

Shady right ? Narrow minded or might be protective of family but not open to talk . What do u think xx?

It’s not shady.

I’ll send a face pic to those I’m interested in. I’m not gonna send my face to someone I’m not interested in.

If people choose to send me face pics, that’s on them. That’s their choice. I don’t owe them one in return. "

Morning sexy people, I think it’s abit too much to say the forum is boring @diprock. What bothers me is how we use and apply the word OPEN MINDED and How we interact on Fabswingers.com. This word appears In more than 90 percent of the profiles of this site . Each time I see that word on a profile and send a message to any the obvious question is have you got a picture? Then for me sure is the answer with an attachment of a picture. If lucky I might get a reply saying oh nice without an accompanying picture, or if very lucky there’s reply comes with one . On the other hand if unlucky there’s either no response total ignorance or worst case situation is when it’s someone who perhaps knows you and say not for me or a block . All this leaves me with a tonne of questions. 1-Is swinging not a lifestyle? If u see me on you on. We are all in.why hide ? 2- won’t it be great for us to know who swings and who doesn’t up or down ur street so we better respect norms, people preferences , better manage privacy where families or personal preferences are concerned? I do understand it take some time for some people to have that guts to accept who they are really but most often some are just shy . With all these in consideration and how the big Question 3 is the word OPEN MINDED rightly used in the swinging world? Opinions will be greatly appreciated. All the above just make me to pay a great respect to how far LGBT has come and the success. I wish and hope Swinging should follow that pathway xxx. What do you guys think?"
Your full of shit ...
