Hello folks, I'm new to the scene, I am just looking for advice on socialising as I don't know anyone who is involved. Does anyone have any pointers on clubs, etiquette, dos and don'ts, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Thanks for the private message but you could have just asked here. Your question doesn't bother me, I was letting you know that there have been many threads on these subjects that will give you lots of help, you just need to search for them.

Your question is VERY broad, may be best to break it down into smaller questions.

The thing I would say that is best to do first is to decide what you want from a place like this and the lifestyle.

If it's a date, then sorry, so say, but this isn't a dating site, it's a lifestyle site.

If you wanna get your name and face known, look for Socials and Club Nights in your area (or accessible area) that you can get to. At these events, be civil, polite, and generally yourself, don't get overly d*unk, and don't be the creepy guy that just walks round staring.

From where you're based according to your profile, Edinburgh may be your best location for clubs and Socials. Just keep your eyes on the forums for mentions of them.

apologies for the private message, I meant no offence, seems to be a lot of negativity here on fabswingers, I guess my face doesn't fit the lifestyle, haha. Thanks for the advice.

first of all, I was here to meet people and be sociable and make friends. I am not here to find a date, I am not that naive, I understand the lifestyle, but I have learned that its a clique type situation. Not very friendly or inclusive to newcomers, unless their faces fit. Thanks for the advice but I don't think I would be accepted

You considered it might be your own attitude that might make you feel not inclusive?

I don't have a negative attitude, I pointed you in a direction that would be useful to your questions. No idea why you've interpreted it that way.

If you are coming into this lifestyle with a negative attitude you won't get anywhere, that's a fact. You will struggle. So try being positive.

I'm not really sure what I said there would be considered as "attitude" I pointed out my personal experience and your reply confirmed a certain "attitude" towards my point of view. What am I left with? I can't win, haha.

That's not true in the slightest.

The people that complain of a clique are usually ones who've been rude and/or aggressive in the forums and then wonder why people aren't friendly to them. You have to put in what you want to get out, if you have a constant negative attitude you will be seen as a buzz kill.

When it comes to clubs, clique is usually used to describe a group of friends, who've probably built up their friendships over a period of time by attending said clubs. That doesn't make a clique, unless that group is deliberately excluding other people.

As I've previously said, if you want to get anywhere on here, a positive attitude will take you further.

apologies, I didn't realise having personal observations and experiences was so wrong, I didn't think I was being rude or aggressive either. I am here to find out about the lifestyle and to see if I would be accepted. I meant no I'll will to anyone but the fact I have had my arse chewed means I have obviously said something to offend or brought up a touchy subject

Firstly you have mo face pic or profile pic. That puts me off and I'm sure I don't just speak fir myself.

I don't understand how my attitude stinks just because I have an opinion, I meant no offence to anyone, merely pointed out a personal concern as to how I'm currently perceiving things and somehow I'm a terrible person. It was reading forums here that gave me the opinions, apologies.

"Seems to be a fitting moniker says the guy with bright orange pubes, lol

So you may have been trying to offend him with playground comments but we'll done for offending all of us who wear our Bright orange pubes with pride "

he fired the first shot with his playground comment. He had a pop, I popped back, fairs fair? He chose to interject into the conversation, as did you when you seen something that offended yourself.

Even if you do think there is a clique probably best not to come new to the forum and accuse folk of it. You'll just piss people off.

It's a public forum.

You are right though, don't think you would fit in with the attitude

I came here with the intention of asking a few questions and it has now descended into a case of attacking me. Highly unnecessary really. It has proved many of my personal concerns and worries about things have been correct. I meant no offence to anyone and apologise if I caused any. Have fun.

Have you ever heard of a self fulfilling prophecy? My guess is you not had any or many meets, in order to square that away in your head you’ve invented a scenario where your an outsider among a clique of terrible people who just won’t give you a chance.

The majority of people in here are friendly, warm and only happy to converse, they generally only bite back when people arrive with preconceived ideas, poor me attitudes and an idea of their own self worth that is truly astonishing.

Maybe try taking advice with humble acceptance, and realise it comes from a place of help rather than the made up wee world in your head.

I came here with no preconceptions, no inflated self worth, I have taken advice and tried what people have suggested. I came here because I was led to believe that I might be able to make friends and meet people but it seems that most people have preconceived ideas of me and single guys in general without actually having the decency to ask. I have learned a lot today.

You asked a question and were told to do a search of the forums because there is various help forums out there, lots with great advice but instead you bit at anyone that pointed out your attitude.

Women wont flock to you they have the choice of thousands you need to put yourself out there and after reading this i doubt you will get anywhere

Good luck

yes I followed the advice, and yes I bit back when people were pointing out my attitude, I am a human, with feelings and emotions. And I don't expect women to flock to me and don't really want that as I'm not that vain. I was hoping to connect with understanding people but I don't think I will find any here unfortunately

Best way to get some proper connections going is to get yourself out there. Go to social events and clubs. Meet people face to face. You could look like Chris Hemsworth and still get nowhere with messaging people. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with how you look (this is not an invite to meet up).

And it seemed to me you were taking every comment as a personal attack, which wasn't the case - there was actually some good advice given, but you took offence straight away and tarring everyone with the same brush, which is something you really don't want to do on this forum.

I know this site isn't easy, can be frustrating and even knock your confidence. But try not to take it out on everyone x
