"I wouldn't recommend it. Swinging is principally a couples scene and single guys can be treated appallingly. If your a single horny male my advice is to go to bars and clubs and chat and pull the girls there." Ridiculous single guys are more than welcome in clubs if they conduct their self properly .

"Never been to a club so don't know what the vibe is around single guys. I'm guessing they are welcomed as what I've read about clubs is all very positive. However, is it normally a case of people sticking together or once you get chatting and invited to have some fun then it all just flows from there? Looking to go to one but just want to understand a bit more first Thanks x" If you're willing to be open, friendly, able to engage in polite friendly conversation and graciously accept a polite "no thanks" then clubs can be a great way to meet people If however you're a wallflower, or decide to join the ranks of the wanking conga line of single blokes that roves the club, then you'll find it pretty soul destroying and an expensive night out. Treat a club visit the same as you would going to a bar - go with no expectations of anything "happening" - make sure to dress to impress, take a tour of the club and ask questions and listen to the etiquette/rules and you won't go far wrong | |||

as long as you're polite and respectful you won't go far wrong just don't be one of those men that lurks around the play areas or follows the women and couples around the club hoping to see some action | |||

"It is less about clubs taking care of single guys, more all people making time to talk to each other as Fabio mentioned on another thread. You are not guaranteed any action going to a club, no means no, but talking to couples and single girls (or guys) depending on preferences is the way forward. Be engaging, just say hello and don’t be a wall flower. Beyond that give a few different nights a try as they vary based on numbers and specific peole on each night. Enjoy "All good advice OP, but do read the club reviews section in here, and specifically those left by single guys | |||

"I wouldn't recommend it. Swinging is principally a couples scene and single guys can be treated appallingly. If your a single horny male my advice is to go to bars and clubs and chat and pull the girls there." I'd disagree with this myself, as I've witnessed many single guys have fun in a swingers club, and we're a couple that play solo so single guys have met my other half. Remember though, that unless you have decent social skills in the setting, it's easy to come across as desperate when you haven't taken a partner. Be willing to hang back by the bar, and make conversation when it seems to come to you, and let people go with a good impression of you. These are the guys I see being the most successful. Ones willing to put themselves out there, and be friendly to everyone, but not ever seem like they're thinking about joining you already and being to clingy. | |||

"I struggle going on my own. Probs cus I'm shit in social situations and if someone doesn't pursue me I don't think they are interested so I don't bother " I think it is similar for everyone, regardless of gender. If you are socially awkward and have difficulty in "normal" social situations then it will be even more difficult for you in a sexually charged environment like a club. Clubs are a fantastic night out but if you can't make conversation with strangers you may not have a great time. | |||

 . You don’t want masses of competition on the night. Be well groomed, smell nice, dress fashionably and smart and socialise in the bar and around the couches, don’t barge in and interrupt, sit down uninvited or invade personal space. Say hello, (“mind if I sit down, thanks. My name’s .....”) be polite, bit of light hearted chat, be funny and be charming if possible. Above all don’t come across as eager and desperate!
See if you can make at least a social connection with ladies or couples / whoever on Fab before you go, that way you will avoid the complete stranger wall flower awkwardness. Swearing, pushy, arrogance are turnoffs similarly shyness and lack of confidence won’t do you any favours either - talk to a couple as a couple. Hangout where you can be found, a recent club date saw a couple of men she would’ve liked to invite to join but couldn’t find them when the time was right. Passing the time in a dark sauna in an obscure secluded part of the club will not get you on the team. Don’t join a single men huddle waiting in a narrow bit of a corridor that we have to awkwardly squeeze past. A lady / couple will want to look you over from a relaxed comfortable distance, check you out, watch you for a while, consider, discuss possibilities and scenarios and approach. Place yourself somewhere where they can do that. Don’t be an obvious peacock but be aware you are on display, don’t slouch or appear anti-social. Show them you’re prepared, that you know what you’re doing and will play safe - Carry a little cool looking zipped bag with a good supply of condoms and lube etc. and put your key around it or in it. Wearing your key on your wrist (especially with a single condom tucked under - are you going to stop and run down to the machine / bar to get the inevitable replacements when needed?) and making an annoying jangle is off-putting / fucking annoying, Wrist keys ought to be banned. Especially while wanking. Don’t follow couples or women around the club not having said hello or detected a bit of a come-on - wink or smile, beckoning finger, it’s just fucking creepy. Wear a nice towel of your own (not featuring a George’s Cross or a Disney character!) it helps you standout from the crowd and some of the threadbare club towels look skanky, too small and don’t look good on a guy.
Above all good luck
May the farce be with you

"Hopefully a few useful tips and observations: Pick your venue and your night carefully - ideally an event where ladies and couples will be actively looking for single / extra males (greedy girls / gang bangs / Milf nights whatever) my advice is to get onto a guest list early for a club event where they restrict single male numbers, that way you find yourself more as an attraction than just being another ‘eager gentlemen’ joining what Gemini Man so eloquently described as the “Roving wanking conga line” .

I find this really hard to understand as I've got many male friends on the scene and they all do very well in clubs.
You should try it from my side lol! You will see from my verifications, that I do pretty well in Fab. I find clubs depressing.
Why depressing? "Depressing because I've never felt more alone, than when I've been in one of these clubs. The 'warmest of welcomes' usually lasts long enough for you to pay your membership/entrance fee, and once you've had 'The Tour', you're on your own. It's easy to feel like a fish out of water, when you don't know anybody, and you're in unfamiliar surroundings, but when you try to engage with others, and people don't reciprocate, or worse, look away so they don't catch your eye, it's time for a wander, because your bum has gone numb on the bar stool. So wander you do, only now, you've to walk that line between 'nice guy having a look', and 'wank zombie on the prowl', which is what you know you look like, as a single guy wandering the playrooms by yourself. So you find somewhere else to sit down, and wonder if any of the regulars have noticed nobody is talking to the new guy, on his own, looking at his watch, realising he's been in here for two hours now, and Jeez, this is depressing........... | |||

If only I lived closer so I could visit Chams more often | |||

"I wouldn't recommend it. Swinging is principally a couples scene and single guys can be treated appallingly. If your a single horny male my advice is to go to bars and clubs and chat and pull the girls there. Ridiculous single guys are more than welcome in clubs if they conduct their self properly . If you really want to swing it's the way forward
Get your self to a club mate you will have a blast
Just once, I would love this to be true
Are you saying you’ve not had great experiences
Exactly this fella
I find this really hard to understand as I've got many male friends on the scene and they all do very well in clubs.
You should try it from my side lol! You will see from my verifications, that I do pretty well in Fab. I find clubs depressing.
Why depressing?
Depressing because I've never felt more alone, than when I've been in one of these clubs. The 'warmest of welcomes' usually lasts long enough for you to pay your membership/entrance fee, and once you've had 'The Tour', you're on your own. It's easy to feel like a fish out of water, when you don't know anybody, and you're in unfamiliar surroundings, but when you try to engage with others, and people don't reciprocate, or worse, look away so they don't catch your eye, it's time for a wander, because your bum has gone numb on the bar stool. So wander you do, only now, you've to walk that line between 'nice guy having a look', and 'wank zombie on the prowl', which is what you know you look like, as a single guy wandering the playrooms by yourself. So you find somewhere else to sit down, and wonder if any of the regulars have noticed nobody is talking to the new guy, on his own, looking at his watch, realising he's been in here for two hours now, and Jeez, this is depressing..........."Do you not attempt to converse with people around the club etc or do you just sit there watching the world go by. Again never had any problems in clubs and 99.9% of the time everyone’s friendly and conversant. Come along to my swingles event at xtasia on the 16th and i’ll even introduce you to people if you’d like | |||

It wasn't the busiest of nights people wise; 5 couples and around 30 single guys, but we passed the time chatting among ourselves. I had a couple of wanders around the play areas, but there was hardly anyone about there, everyone was gathered downstairs. The music was playing too loudly, making it difficult to talk, so I left, disappointed after quite a few months of forward planning to get there. I thank you for your invitation too, if I lived closer I would've taken you up on your kind offer | |||

you want to be negative... fine,
you don't want to go to clubs again... fine,
but don't base all your opinions based on just the one visit!
different clubs, different nights, different experiences!!!
i don't need to jump on anyone's back to help me... i help me!... the only person that affect me is me!, the only people who increases or decreases my meets is me!

"You make some good points and we share the same outlook believe it or not. I have only been once, so have limited experience. Until I go again with someone, that's the only experience I've got to go on. It wasn't all negative by any means, but cost vs potential doesn't weigh up for me personally.. and I was expressing my personal opinion. As for the back climbing, I'll take that back, as you don't strike me as the kind of person who needs to do it, given what you just said. I'm not a negative or shy person though and your assumption that I was, got my back up.. I let it slide the first time. Both learnt a lesson perhaps? | |||

"I wouldn't recommend it. Swinging is principally a couples scene and single guys can be treated appallingly.

If you really want to swing it's the way forward "Well to be fair I’d strongly urge any single male to stay away from the the scene in general not it’s not about swingers clubs per se. If you’re under 40 and well calibrated stick to the vanilla scene and there’s a lot of gorgeous women out there - ok maybe occasionally it takes a bit more effort but it’s worth it and you’ll have lots of self respect and pride as well. Good luck with it anyway. | |||

Not a hypocrite - just my honest opinion and like I’ve already said and as I say to all my vanilla single male friends - stay far away from this scene! Now for couples I think it’s awesome and strongly recommend!
i was going to say i hope he was being sarcastic.... otherwise his veri's from all the different clubs he has been to is going to make him look like a bit of a hypocrite.... " | |||

"Clubs are not for me I have met an amazing couple by having patience and having a relaxed attitude. So any single guys do not get down hearted thinking never going to meet some nice people on here as one day you will send a message and get a reply and may lead to every thing you were hoping for." Exactly this I've been to four different clubs as a single guy, and always left each one thinking I must have been missing something, like doing a download for the latest software on your 'phone, but there was no 'Install' tab to click? I have however, met lots of great people through private meets in here, and continue to see a small circle of reliable friends. In all aspects of life, what works for some, doesn't necessarily work for all, but variety is the spice of life, and it's nice to try new things
Apart from male-male sexual contact | |||

But every time we have been, we have had a great time. We look for single guys at clubs and only about 1/4 (if that) ever make the effort to chat, so many of you miss out because you haven’t talked to potentially interested couples. & yes we do talk to guys at clubs, but not everyone! We also put meets up on Fab if we are going so that people can say hi before we go.
At the end of the day, having great fun sex is about communicating & finding someone you get a bit of a spark from. Spend your time earlier in the evening talking, don’t monopolise people, mention you are interested, but don’t expect an immediate response - sometimes couples want to talk privately before they then decide yes! | |||

Hot tubs are usually an easier place to strike up a conversation too. | |||
