I've never played with a couple, not been interested.

But what happens if two couples meet and you don't fancy one part of the couple. Do three of you go off and play, or what? Awkward

If one of us doesn't fancy their counterpart we don't take things further? It's one of many, many reasons we always meet for a social only first

If I were to meet as a couple and the OH wasnt to be included for this reason I wouldn't play either. Youd think swapping pictures before hand would solve that issue though. Unless it was something about their mannerisms you didnt like

One reason we try and have a social first. We've experienced first hand that the other female doesn't want to play with me or the Male doesn't like Tracey. Not nice as the fun should be for everyone involved

Not always because sometimes it's obvious that one of the other couple isn't keen either and nobody wants a reluctant partner

Yep. We've had a couple of experiences that reinforce our decision to do things that way.

Was chatting to a married couple in a hot tub last week. Their dynamic was either could go off individually with whom they wished and if one of them fancied one half of another couple but the other didn't, the one who wasn't interested would take one for the team if the other couple only wanted to play as couples. I'm still not sure what I think about that...

Relax, you'd never be considered as "Taking one for the team." . . . Seriously though, I suppose if it works for them it works for them.

Definitely this, but if all goes well the social can turn into fun if we meet locally to either them or us.

Indeed we do the same, socials first, then if everyone is happy to go forward fine but if not a polite honest no always works for us either way. Male

This is why we don’t meet very often it can be a nightmare in finding a couple where we are both happy, we are fussy lol and say if we wouldn’t play with them if we were single why play as a couple but in all honesty there’s not not many single guys I’m (AJ) attracted to, I like the full package and that’s hard to come by

One of the reasons we no longer play with couples. We found a lot of couples really only wanted the girl on girl and even had it where the girl of the other couple would take one for the team. Its so uncomfortable and not nice.

If we didn't fancy the one or part of the couple we would not have played. And we wouldn't be offended if the couple refused to play with us as they didn't fancy one of us

Because there aren't any MM or FF couples on dating sites. Also because like myself people may want to meet a swinging partner, not an easy conversation to have on a vanilla site.

We’ve had a situation where Mrs L didn’t fancy the male half, the women was keen to just carry on without him but we weren’t comfortable.

They then completely blanked us the next day in a bar, wouldn’t even make eye contact.

Hopefully sticking to threesomes will be less complicated

Not awkward, more like disrespectful. We don't take one for the team. Being a couple is more important than fucking some random. Very different mind set required to swing as a couple than to fuck as a single.

It's these situations why we decided not to play as a couple anymore.. Becomes awkward, guilty and whole host of emotions so now it's single ladies and single males all day long

Trim ... Something you forgot to tell me ???

You meeting single guys now lolololol

To avoid confusion, we stopped the whole meeting couples thing. Infact we stopped the whole meeting private thing as well. Trim will play with single fems. I play with fems, couples and single guys but we only do so in a club. As we always play seperate we have just singles profiles as we will never play together.

There has to be mutual attraction between the couples or it isn't happening. How ever much we might both fancy the lady (for example) if I don't find the bloke attractive, it won't progress past chatting. We have few sex meets because of this, and suspect that's the case for many couples. We tend to do better in clubs.

Neither of us would take one for the team and wouldn't expect anyone else to.

This is what makes foursomes more difficult than threesomes. The more egos you throw in the more complicated it all becomes. Meeting couples is sooooo much easier in clubs. Even then a couple might have that "take one for the team" or "let them have their fun" moment.

Yeah TOFTT is an ugly way of saying it. Sometimes an opportunity for an experience comes along and it would be just selfish to stand in the way. At the same time you are there to support. If no one takes your fancy there are lots of friendly folk to socialise with.

As a couple it's a lot harder.

Most of the time there's one you fancy, the other, meh. Neither of us is going to "take a hit" for the team.

Why should you. Unless yr happy shagging anything with a pulse.

Hence why we have socials first or meet at a club.

It's not always about looks, especially if you are all on the same wavelength.

It dramatically reduces the chances of group play of course.

But it's so not about quantity, as making a few good friends that play together

That's why we play in clubs - we get to see people (and them us) before we commit to playing. It works with single guys too. It saves the disappointment and embarrassment of meeting couples or singles and then having to say "thanks but no thanks"

We however do not find it difficult to find people we are both attracted too and vice versa to have fun with, lots of people seem to make such a big deal as to why they can’t find couples to play with, if us oldies can do it surely most others can? Or maybe there are other issues stopping them playing with couples?

We work on the principle that it takes both of us to say yes, but only one to say no. Neither of us ever do something we don’t want to.

I don’t get why the OP thinks it’s awkward. It’s about being grown up and saying sorry, you’re not for us. It happens in reverse and doesn’t bother us.

Sometimes the gulf between some singles and couples on here seems huge......

We never take one for the team. We meet new couples at clubs first, this ties into us not having a lot of free time and also if we don't want to take it further we are in an environment to still make the night work.

We have had all of the scenarios pointed out - couple just want Mrs, couple just want Mr or they end up not wanting either of us (usually we have come to the same conclusion about them too).

We are polite but honest. If they are not for us we make our excuses and do something else.
