"We meet once a month if we are lucky (not each other, we live together) .... but when I see people meeting weekly or more, I don't get jealous, I just wonder if they have anything else going on in their lives, work, family? " Yes! It can take me a long time to even meet someone here that I want to meet in real life, so how are these people even meeting in the first place? Are they spending all their time searching and messaging on here?! | |||

"I don't define my success rate on here by looking at others. Their situations and goals are different. One fucking good shag every month or so does me now, and is less stressful. I'd rather be chatting to one good 'un than desperately sending loads of messages." Absolutely agree x | |||

"Just because people meet more often than you might doesn't mean they are on here 24/7 , messaging everyone or have nothing else on . What's their secret then!" Well everyone is different but for us- we don't have children , we only work Monday to Friday , we live away from most friends and family so tend to see them on weekends | |||

"Every bodies circumstances are different, but we've always seen the "never time to meet" people as just unmotivated or uninspired to arrange meets and just get on with having fun. After all we both work long hours, have 2 children we still have time to play generally once a week, so really ask yourself, are you just unmotivated, uninspired to make the time?" Yes, we are unmotivated to meet. We are out of the house from six am until eight pm weekdays. Maybe its our age, but that is exhausting. We have little time to see the kids unless at the weekends and when my oldest is down from uni. Sex with strangers will always be less important than each other, family and work .... | |||

At least if I meet a friend I know I won't be disappointed and most of the time time is too precious to take the risk. | |||

Of course, lots of us have friends outside the scene too ... we play once a month at a party which really suits us, but this month Mr is away and next month we have friends flying in for the weekend for a gig. Its no contest which one is going to be our night of choice ..... | |||

"We get out to meet at least twice a week . We have kids so have to arrange a sitter too . We run our own business too . It's not difficult to make time if you really want to . " I think that is the key. If you dont want to be out and about that much, it doesn't mean you are unmotivated .... just a choice as to how much of your life you can or want to devote to it | |||

"there is a difference between those that moan about not having time to meet and those that just choose to not make time to meet x" Spot on , and this is the point . If one wants to meet then other things need to be sacrificed sometimes . Perhaps a night out with friends , or missing an episode of your favourite soap ? We love to meet and play , and we also love to spend time together , and don't feel we miss out on either . It's all about choice and what you really want | |||

It's a matter of perspective and desire to want or not want to make time to meet . | |||

I know when we can meet .... and without going somewhere we don't want to or meeting someone who isn't our thing, sacrificing our family or friends, we can't. The choice is we don't want to. I don't moan about it though, and I don't think the OP was. I like the fact that we have other things going on in our lives, apart from swinging ... | |||

But you're not complaining that you can't make time to meet . Family and friends are important to us too , and so is swinging . It's not that our lives revolve around the swinging , but it's just as important as friends , tv , or a host of other recreational activities . And we won't be shamed into feeling bad about that | |||

"It has been implied that people who meet more often are on here 24/7 messaging everyone and don't have anything else to do " Some people are though and freely admit it. Not sure why that is shameful? Some people go to clubs ... some people cut to the chase with messages, etc. Not sure that is shameful either .... I think there are people for whom it plays a bigger part in their lives than others. I can honestly say it played a bigger part in my life when I was single, and had less work commitments and my kids were away. My priorities have changed now ... but that isn't to say they wouldn't change back sometime, depending on circumstances .... | |||
