"Being able to host at home is usually an indication that you really are single. So definitely a good start." Hmmm…. I’m not sure I necessarily agree with sentiment but fair enough. What about if you’re a single parent? Or you still live at home because you cannot afford to move out yet? | |||

"nope means nothing to us ...you cant go around assuming things... there could be a whole host of reasons why they cant accom" Agreed! Does make things a tad harder to arrange but theres still hotels and clubs. Should be discussed and fair to both sides, no pressure. Even if someone offers to accomm, it doesn't mean their home is appropriate! | |||

"Being able to host at home is usually an indication that you really are single. So definitely a good start." I agree that's the assumption, but it often feels like another of those hurdles that people put up for single men. Couples and single women can and will say "I'm not accommodating for safety reasons/because my kids live here", which is obviously fine, but not only do neither of those reasons get believed from men, they are additionally assumed to be liars. As you might tell, it annoys me. | |||

"If I could accommodate I most certainly wouldn’t be inviting someone into my home that I met off the internet, would be a neutral venue first and foremost. I’d need to assess first whether they’re someone I’d like to bring to my home. Personally I believe this is a stance everyone should take but each to their own I suppose. " Oh absolutely. I do accommodate, but that doesn’t mean I let anyone come over… neutral venue for a first (preferably social) meet | |||

"Seems to me single guys that can't Accommodate (for whatever reason) are looked upon as though they are cheating on gf or wife. Whereas females and couples that don't Accom aren't judged as such. ![]() Yep, it’s one the biggest double standards on this site | |||

" For us and many couples and single ladies a very high percentage (not all granted) of single guys especially those above 30 years of age who can't accommodate, can't because there are married or living with a partner. So as the choice for couples and females is so vast due to the sheer volume of "single" males, only engaging with single guys who can accommodate (even if we plan a hotel or club meet) acts as a very very effective filter in terms of reducing the chances of meeting cheaters and the risk of drama and emtional damage that can cause. KJ" I'm not saying it's right I simply saying it's an incredibly effective filter for those of us who meet single guys. Couples not accommodating is far more likely due to them having children living at home. KJ | |||

"Question time: Single Gents: Do you find your success rate when it comes to meets is higher because you can or choose to accommodate in your home? Ladies and Couples: Is a gent being able to, or choosing to accommodate in his home a deciding factor if you choose to meet privately outside of a club or a party? Simply curious to gain people’s thoughts on this. " Yeah pretty much since being back as I now cannot accomodate. Though I had more sucess when I could accomodate. | |||

Of course it doesn't I don't think anyone is saying not accommodating = married, just that a high percentage are married and it works as a great filter as most people playing away can't accommodate. There is a difference. | |||

"As a couple we have older kids at home which means we can never accom , so we rely on others being able to accommodate, we have played with a genuine single guy in his home which felt great , loads of guys offer to accommodate in a hotel and offer to pay for the room even when they haven't met us which seems either weird or desperate as we would always want a non committal social first ....do guys really pay for rooms on the off chance of fun ? ......." Personally, no… I’d also want a no pressure social first.. but some ARE desperate | |||

"When I play as a couple , we have zero interest in a social. We aren’t meeting a guy for friendship , we are simply using his ability to perform. " And that is perfectly fair ,we both prefer to make sure there is a bit of chemistry in the air if we are playing though | |||

I agree with this statement and accept that the fact I won’t accommodate at home for first fuck meet take out some meets however… It’s two way street. Like on job interview. If candidate first filters are office look, availability of free coffee and milk etc - he/she isn’t my candidate. I am looking for these interesting in job content, my product and tasks he/she will be doing. ![]() ![]() | |||

"We don’t accommodate so it usually is a dealbreaker. In our experience people suggesting hotel meets usually back out last minute or just ghost. Maybe meeting for social first is not the worst idea to avoid time waster and fakes ![]() Yes and no. The vast majority of socials I have are near me and at my convenience. I also wear little or no makeup so there’s little ‘getting ready’ time involved - what they see at the social if what the poor bastard(s) would potentially wake up with one morning if all goes well. I do it this way because - except in absolute emergency - I’m 100% reliable - and the people I meet are almost always far less experienced/verified than I am and therefore more of a risk. Before I did this I had a lot of no-shows and wasted a lot of time and effort. Now the vast majority of people show up - and at worst I’ve just had a coffee alone at my local Starbucks - no big deal! ![]() ![]() | |||
