"Well if the purpose of your post was to get rid of the nice guy label OP - you succeeded. Total lack discretion. Swinging really isn't for you. Sounds like you are way too sensitive for this lifestyle. " Total lack of discretion like how? I've been doing this for five years now and had my fair share of fun. Doesn't mean I don't get stupid situations and scenarios like the one I described here once in a while. | |||

Very immature and indiscreet behaviour. Pathetic! ! | |||

"way to burn those bridges theres..... thats a lot of people who were at that social who now may have need been so far up there arses and having a good time that you now insulted in one post.... i always say people in the end have to help themselves "help themselves"...... this isn't going to help you!!!! anyway... back to the original premise if a could had said that to me..... i would have answered it differently... so here is my stock answer.... if I am not good enough for you to play with as a single.... then why the hell would i want to play with you if i were in a couple!!!! there is a different between wanting play partners and wanting a live body..... ther fact that you didn't say "nope I have enough self confidence in myself" and you played their game says as much about you as it did about them...... so much for a bit of dignity then!!!!!" Actually I did. I left early that night after telling the couple that "if I pull I pull, if I don't it doesn't matter to me because I'm here as just me and I hope you two can find someone else." | |||

"Ok, what am I missing? So far, got that a lot of couples turned up to socialise with other couples. Which they did. ( which means they are up their own arse because they didn't socialise with you). Another couple, in advance, set you the challenge of finding someone else to play with you. You happily accepted this challenge until you saw it would be hard to do on the night. When they wouldn't play with unless you could do what they asked they transformed into being patronising because they think you're nice but don't want an MMF with you. The couples specification does seem a little cheeky but maybe in the context of the chat it could actually be them explaining their preference and how you could fit into it? Other than that it all sounds like sour grapes because people are happy to chat but won't swing with you? Bx" I knew the majority of the people at the social, we've all met around before and chatted and they've quite politely indicated their non-interest in single guys on their profiles which I duly took note of. With them I was quite fine. To be fair I wasn't that angry at being left out of conversations and such with those people whom I already know have no interest in me. If people are happy to chat but won't swing with me I'm alright, like I already said. Just don't need to get lines about being "a good lad/nice guy but..." from them as though it's supposed to mean anything at all. | |||

You can't make people want to swing with you, it's too personal a choice and if you get bitter when they don't then it does perhaps raise questions around suitability?

But perhaps too many here are mistaking me for whining about rejection when in reality I'm just upset about having a "nice guy" label on me as though it's something bad when it comes to swinging. Like okay, I'm good enough as a social mate and to see and hang around but I'm not your type to swing with? Sure no probs, just say that I'm not your type and I will quite happily accept it as reality I cannot change (not begrudging personal preferences here). What I don't like nor understand is how people need to sweeten things up and in the process end up making me feel bad instead because of the "nice guy" label. Besides, it does bring up the thought of whether being known as a nice guy might to some people connotate with being too soft or passive and therefore undesirable? That's the sneaky feeling I get here when I hear such compliments thrown my way too often. | |||

"Were there any names mentioned here? Any name and shame? You seem to have quite a big axe to grind with me for someone who doesn't even know me at all. Don't like what you read, don't comment here. Nobody needs a hidden profile to come and proselytise to people here if you don't even dare show yourself to the world here. " No axe to grind sweetie so sorry to piss on your chips but you aren't that important to me. This is a public forum and you have no control over what people post or the direction this thread will take. Just like you have no control over whether I have hidden my profile or who couples chose to play with. Mmm control issues much. | |||

"Just want to bring this up here a bit and share, maybe some of you here have similar experiences before too. Ever think sometimes that being called a "nice guy/great friend" at Fab socials by people doesn't usually work out for you all the time? People go on about how single guys can be rude and such, but last night I got quite frankly insulted by a couple, of all things. Basically we were at a social and we've met before in the past just to chat and mingle a little. And last night the couple told me "ohh we've kept an eye on you for a while now, we'd really love to play with you and you're a very nice guy, but we don't play with single guys alone so perhaps if you can pull another girl or a couple along with you from this social tonight we'd bring you home and fuck your brains out!" Saw it as a challenge at first, until I realised that at said social that night I was only one out of two single guys there. Everyone else were couples (no I didn't know that beforehand) and all of them were just there for each other (their own partners/other couples). Got to the point that I couldn't join into conversations properly because I was always the third wheel and some couples were giving off vibes that they were so far up each other's arses that night. Whatever idea I had of just going out to enjoy the night at the social was just wrecked from that point seeing as I was reduced to being a mere fly on the wall. Just want to say that there are couples on here who swing only because the male half wants to get a girl "openly" without cheating. Hell, the couple that called me a "good guy/nice friend" was one such couple, the male half even told me in private that "should you have trouble pulling any of the couples you should try going behind the husbands/boyfriends and pull the girls alone". Like WTF, if my value to you is only as good as whether I have a girl on my arm or not and yet you still talk as though you're interested in me then you can go and kindly stuff your arrogance where the sun don't shine! And being known to be a "solid lad/nice guy" somehow really doesn't pay off on Fab, at least in my experience here so far. Everyone wants to get to know you, press the flesh shake hands mingle have a laugh, but the moment the talk gets serious about whether there might be any chemistry between me as a single guy and them (single girls/couples) they all just choke on themselves. I can take rejection as in "sorry we don't play with single guys", but to try and sweeten the rejection by going "ohh you're such a nice guy and good lad here but..." just smacks of hypocrisy and patronising talk. Like oh I'm good enough only as a +1 to the social and for the banter with you all but not good enough to play with? Even on a night out without the agenda to pull one would still expect that one is actually sexually attractive to someone out there without just being minimised to a mere social role. That's why I'm on Fab isn't it, to engage in NSA fun with willing participants? Honesty and candidness is in such short supply of late! Rant over " I think you were unfortunate in the fact you were only one of two guys there but I also think that be classed as a nice guy is not an insult but the bottom line is swingers are couples and they don't need you so what they say is in reference to what they need in the future rather than then ,this is what I've always said about clubs a single guy is just a spare part to be used or not as the case may be | |||

"Swinging can be a minefield of insecurities and frustrations - but if you are able to withstand the knocked it can also be amazing - hopefully you will have a better experience next time. There are lots of couples who like threesomes with a single guy. M x" Just blowing off steam here. I won't get knocked down so easily like this. thank you for your kind words. | |||

Some people are twats - were I you in that conversation, I probably would have nodded politley and smiled and made a mental note that they were awful and avoided them in the future. (on a side note, apparently, I'm less subtle at this than I think - my best mate says that she can tell my "Oh my GOD, you're a dick" smile at 100 paces...) | |||

"Oh for fucks sake, your one sentence away from trying 'negging'. Swinging is not an easy way to get sex. Repeat, Swinging is not about getting easy sex. If the grand sum of your aim is to get your end away, this is the worst place to do it. Everyone with a vagina (and, for the record, those of us with a perceived willing vagina substitute) have a ton of options. Nobody owes you anything. They certainly don't owe you shit here, where anybody who wants to have sex with men have...well, options actually barely begins to describe it. This is a largely hetrosexual community and I'm more popular here than on Grindr. Drop the nice guy shit. 'I'm not a thug, therefore the ladies will like me' is Disney Movie bollocks, and you should of stopped caring about it about the same time you let Chip 'n Dale, Rescue Rangers go. Do you want to have sex with the nice but nerdy fat girl who can't look you in the eyes? No. No you don't. That's you, maybe, I guess, from that post. Take a big long look in the mirror, ask yourself *why* you aren't attracting the people you want to attract, and then go about fixing that. Lack confidence? Push yourself to get some. Lack physical skill? Push that. Just.....fucking, do something that's not looking at a fucking swingers forum and going 'grrrrrr'. Being sexy is a result of who *you are*, not what *you want*. The key part of the word 'attractive' is 'attract'. And that means more than filling out a sign up form. Anyone can do that, most of us here have done that. Sexy means something about who you are, and if you don't feel attractive for whatever reason...well, address that first, and the rest will fall into place. It'll help a damn sight more than your sex life, believe me. " D Did you read the OP? | |||

" You're not my type you ugly, horrible bastard! Is that the kind of rejection you want? "You're not my type" is perfectly alright. Anything after that is just bullshitting, be it in the nice let-down kind of way or just pure malice like the one you said. And if anyone said that to me I'd just shrug at them and say "takes one to know one!" But what if they genuinely thought you were a nice guy and wanted you to know it? " Then I'd appreciate the gesture. I guess what made the compliment so loaded was the fact that the couple all but said I was a nice guy for them but for the fact that I'm single and don't have a girl to come along with me to play with them both. I've had enough compliments on here to know who and what I am to be honest. If you know me in person you'd know me to be brutally honest and candid and social with the right people. I guess people here get so used to the fact that there are so many guys on here who are incredibly touchy that sometimes guys like me who are more rough on the sides and prefer straight talk end up being offended that we're treated like eggshells, or worse still we're demeaned in value because we're "nice" and yet against all conventional thinking we aren't having "a bird on our arms". | |||

"Well if the purpose of your post was to get rid of the nice guy label OP - you succeeded. Total lack discretion. Swinging really isn't for you. Sounds like you are way too sensitive for this lifestyle. " What lack of discretion? No names from what I see. As for him being suited to swinging - are you his mum or something? Nope, didn't think so | |||

"I would be curious to know how many single guys said they were attending that social and didn't. So well done on going and don't let it out you off future ones. It is a fine line between being that polite "third wheel" in conversations and acting like a predatory shark; circling all the "bait" (the perception, not my words) When I first started attending socials, I was nervous and did not want to intrude. Thankfully, it was a lovely bunch of people, who brought me into the fold. However, they only did this on realising that I *was* a nice guy. In fact a couple who I went on to play with a lot at their parties, thought I was initially shy. After a few large group sex sessions, I emerged as a confident initiator and was very much in demand. That did not happen overnight - no pun intended. As another poster said, swinging is not easy. It takes work, respect and rapport. The pay off, is mind blowing group sex and very good friends fully clothed too. Allow me to pose a question OP, if you meet a partner and want to swing with them, how will you react if given the choice of an MMF with a single guy, versus him finding another girl to throw into the mix? Finally, you do need to be careful; as you've seen by some of the posts. It can take a long time to build a good reputation - only a fraction of that time to lose it. " If I met a partner and wanted to swing with them I'd probably feel more comfortable with a MMF than having him go find another girl to throw into the mix. If I wanted a girl as well I'd might as well go for couples straight off the bat. And I'd have been honest about it. I'm not exactly shy nor am I predatory at socials. Like I said before at the socials where I go to pretty much everyone there knows me and I have too solid a reputation to worry about it being wrecked by a rant like this. Because they know me better that in real life I don't usually gripe about things unless it really felt uncomfortable or wrong to me. I've been around long enough to know my own value so I am way past the whole stage of being desperate. Interesting point you bought up there about single guys flying kite on the social though. I know more guys were supposed to have attended but that night there simply wasn't any. So that might have been a factor too. Lastly, I'm not being sensitive here. I'm feeling a lot better now reading all your comments here so thank you. Though some here need to learn some manners and not be so judgemental. | |||

"Nothing wrong with the nice guys" Often I read on the forums that guys think they are not getting meets because they're too nice.... Which is of course preposterous. | |||

So let me get this correct, you feel people need to learn manners and not be judgemental? But in your OP you judged that couples swing as a way of the guy having sex without cheating and also judged some couples of being up each other's arses. Both comments are judgmental and do not show manners. People are allowed to make their own choices in swinging, admittedly this couple do sound like they should have done things a little differently. | |||

"I don't mind being called it. I think sometimes it a polite way for someone to say that they're not interested?" If I say someone is nice it means I think they are nice They may be a nice person I want to spend time with or one that I don't. I don't use it as a polite way to say anything else. And what is wrong with being nice? It means you're not a jerk | |||
