Morning poppets xx

I was wondering how people when seeing face pictures and not being attracted say no.

I cringe everytime I come to send it as im clearly saying no based on looks. I know thats shallow ect but lets face it would many have sex with someone they werent physically attracted to?

Anyway looking forward as ever to your tips and advice

It's happened to me....chat chat chat " oh you're so sexy, steve" type messages, then face pic then a loud silence. It doesn't worry me but silence speaks a thousand words....

We had a couple who turned us down after we'd sent face pictures and they did it in a really good way that we have adopted ever since...we say "thanks for sending your pictures, on reflection, you're not for us but thanks anyway and happy swinging!" We've never had people who've had issues with that approach. We don't however enter into dialogue with them after that and delete any messages they've sent us as a clear indicator to them that we're really not interested

It's not shallow to expect to be attracted to someone you're choosing to have sex with...it may hurt their feelings to an extent but at least you're being open from an early point in the interaction...

Hope this helps

Pele have to live in the real world and understand that they are not attractive to everyone. Going silent all of a sudden is a bit frustrating so I would prefer a simple 'thanks but no thanks', that what I send if the attraction isn't there for me. Nothing wrong with being honest

Well no though you 'single men' have a reputation!

The shallow comment was to combat someone jumping in and calling me shallow first!!

Not shallow at all and there's got to be some attraction. We send a polite thanks but no thanks message wishing them all the best and never had abuse from couples but sadly can't say the same for single guys unless the reply comes from Mr even though it's Ms typing it! We've been turned down after sending face pics and we're fine with that as the whole point of sending face pics is to establish if there's an attraction or not.

Sometimes a face picture doesn't do the person any justice. Some people are photogenic other aren't. Therefore people can look much better in real life than in a picture.

Thats a good point. I've played with people I've met at parties and socials that I would probably have said no to on the basis of a face pic but have just really clicked and had a great time.

So have we. We just thought it was to save either party messaging again accidentally after it's been established that there's no attraction.

There has to be some attraction that is why we ask for a face pic and to be honest we have probably turned down a few meets where if we met in a club we would probably have played, but rather miss a few than have the embarrassment of arranging the meet and not being attracted to the guy.

Need to know basis

I do not think it is shallow! If you were in a club you would select a partner based on looks so saying no based on a pic is approximately the same.

It is awkward to say no after you've chatted for a bit.

What I find rude are men I contact, send face pics to who then say I'm sexy and then stop communicating. I would prefer they said "unfortunately you are not what I'm looking for"!

We like to see if there is a "spark" there between us all and thats not just based on the physical attraction but also how we all get on/conversation/shared interests(swinging and otherwise)So photos initially help but since we are no "oil paintings" personality plays a significant part.

I have no problems with refusals on this basis. Although few and far between.

I have also turned others down.

It's a swinging site not one to find life partners.

Is it shallow to judge people that way?

Maybe but swingers pretty much by definition are shallow people aren't we?

I always block people immediately after sending face pics. That way I do not have to have to suffer the rejection from their horror.

I can make people look a heck of a lot worse too! :D

I've lost count of the amount of times my clients say 'oh but I'm just not photogenic', but once you show them a few nice pics throughout the session they get so much more confident and relaxed.

The camera won't miraculously transform an ogre into a prince, but you'd be surprised at how much difference a good photographer and controlled lighting can make.

Besides, no matter how good/bad looking someone is, most still look better with their face in the pillow and arse in the air.

The same here.

But when choosing through the site all we have to go on is the profile, any messages and the face pic. So we have to be shallow. Especially if I have a few free hours and ten possibles to choose from!

I do try to see a face pic early on though, and I refuse to get drawn into salacious, flirty chat until we've met.

My fingers and typing on a phone is not a good mix. Grammar and spelling police would have a field day with me, when really, I need the typing police.
