"Not really as you spend most of your time as a single male simply trying to meet people. An active social life would be a far better option, if you're the sort of person who can naturally establish one." Ah but I live with my daughter teenager and have an ageing mother and a business so it depends on you circumstances. So meeting people with no ties is good for me | |||

"Swinging. Simple ? ![]() ![]() ![]() It's simple for the fact it's better than straight sex and relationships plus you don't get invited to their mums for Sunday lunch or meet the family ! | |||

"Swinging. Simple ? ![]() ![]() ![]() Really, getting together for a little fun and friendship, and enjoying the natural, healthy union and psychological benefits of sex between a man and a woman SHOULD be incredibly straightforward, but it's far from it, and personally I reckon its down to the sheer number of single males in the scene, to be quite frank. | |||

"For singles looking for one on one sex, no it isn't, any night club specially 80's themed ones will have a gaggle of single men and women looking for somewhere to get breakfast. Maximum efficiency is to arrive at about 11:40pm before the alcohol spoils the sex ![]() I have to disagree In my own personal experience I find meeting guys off here far easier than in real life, I honestly can't remember the last time a guy approached me in real life, it just does not happen yet I get 50 offers a day on here | |||

"I have to disagree" That is probably due to me being a male who has only had one offer to meet on here (though I do discourage it, so not a real comparison) but never went home alone from a night club when I was single. Unfortunately at that stage of my life I didn't know about swinging or Fab, so no actual real comparison was made, if I had then I would I think still have more opportunities by going out looking than on the web, but I may have had better quality sex from here. | |||

"Swinging. Simple ? ![]() ![]() ![]() Plenty of singles do manage it though. Is most likely down to individual personalities rather than the volume of a particular gender. If you were the only single guy in 'the scene' there would still be women out there not interested in meeting you. *you being generic, not specific. A | |||

"Swinging. Simple ? ![]() ![]() ![]() Unless of course the volume prevents the individual personality from being noticed, rather like trying to sing to a woman in a club full of thundering music and guys desperate to talk to her. Hence my point. | |||
Reply privately | Reply in forum | Reply +quote |
"Swinging. Simple ? ![]() ![]() ![]() Personality comes across in many forms. Profile content. Images. Forum posts. None of which are in any way affected by volumes of genders. If you stand out (for the right reasons) the numbers mean nothing. A | |||

"Swinging. Simple ? ![]() ![]() ![]() Which they have to find and read first. " Images" That, with the limited attention they have to distribute amongst their potential suitors, they may well assume epitomises the users entire personality, as opposed to simply being a part of it. "Forum posts" That as you so often point out, are used by so very few of the site overall. | |||

"Swinging. Simple ? ![]() ![]() ![]() As I said earlier. Plenty of singles manage to do it. On Fab. The same site as you. But hey - if blaming things that others manage to cope with helps rationalise things for you - crack on. A | |||
Reply privately | Reply in forum | Reply +quote |
"Swinging. Simple ? ![]() ![]() ![]() 'That others manage to cope with' - presumably you haven't noticed the sheer number of guys voicing their frustrations with the site (the same one that I'm on) then? Just because a handful of guys succeed on here (though their definition of success may be different to mine) doesn't disprove my original point. | |||

"Swinging. Simple ? ![]() ![]() ![]() You mean the sheer number of guys voicing their frustrations with the site via the forums - the forums that only a tiny percentage of the site use? Not sure exactly how many a sheer number of a tiny percentage actually is? ![]() | |||

"You mean the sheer number of guys voicing their frustrations with the site via the forums - the forums that only a tiny percentage of the site use? Not sure exactly how many a sheer number of a tiny percentage actually is? ![]() Interesting that you mentioned further up that effective use of the forum can be instrumental in a single males success, now point out how few site members actually use it when you need to support your argument. "But as for 'a handful'? There are plenty of single guys active - via here, clubs, parties, and socials, that are having a ball." I didn't say anything about 'clubs, parties and socials', I'm referring to the site. Still, I'm sure some of those single guys have a great time at the swingers clubs once they've paid 2/3 times the entry fee for women and couples and are allowed in. "don't see the site as the most important thing in life - just a part of it." Funny I don't recall ever mentioning that? | |||

"Swinging. Simple ? ![]() ![]() ![]() Well yes it's true that there are a lot of guys in the forums who gripe about the sheer number of single guys allegedly spoiling it for them, but there may well be much more than a handful of guys who do ok on the site who have no need to moan and whinge and blame the site for missing out. | |||

"In this modern age?A wanks easier.....lol ![]() True, but doesn't the real satisfaction of sex not lie in the feeling of simply climaxing, but in the knowledge that someone you fancied thought well enough of you to share in such a wonderful experience with you? | |||

"Swinging. Simple ? ![]() ![]() ![]() Is the 'oh but we get inundated with messages' thing not just a bit of a cop out by a lot of women who don't want to answer loads and loads of message from guys they're not interested in. Or perhaps that's just me. I don't think I've ever 'missed' a message from someone where I liked the message and the look of their profile. If someone is interested in you, you will get through. I'm sure it's easy for me to say this as a woman, but I genuinely believe that men with realistic expectations who have good pictures, good profiles and send good messages do just fine. Not just a handful of them, but plenty of them. Yes it's skewed in favour of women, but it's not impossible, even without all the clubs and socials stuff that is everyone else's stock advice. | |||

"Swinging. Simple ? ![]() ![]() ![]() Very true. In my searches today I've found loads of few single guys with many many veri's and clearly having the time of their lives. None of them have posted in the forums though. Looks like they are too busy off having fun! ![]() | |||
Reply privately | Reply in forum | Reply +quote |
"Swinging. Simple ? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Or visiting clubs and socials and accruing their verifications that way - for guys like myself who simply want to use the site to meet people however, the number of single guys makes a HUGE difference. | |||

"Swinging. Simple ? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Yes they were worded that way. I made a point of reading them because I'd been reading this thread. I think certain types of guys will never do well on sites such as these. | |||

"Swinging. Simple ? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Interesting that you find these profiles so readily, as personally in my years on this site I've come across literally a handful of guys (out of thousands) who looked like they were able to consistently get meets purely by using the site, at least as far as I could tell from their verifications, but again, I cant be sure they weren't attending clubs and parties also. And what 'types' would these be? | |||

"Swinging. Simple ? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Not discussing this further. Call me a liar, I really don't care. I'm bored of the guys that whine about it being a numbers game. Bitterness is not attractive. Women on here are not free prostitutes. No matter what some guys think. | |||

In spite of appearances I do actually agree with you that it's crap for some guys on here. I often stick up for the single guys (on forum posts) because I know how soul destroying it can be, taking care to read profiles/ tailor a nice message to the person and get no response. It's crap. I do think the knobheads stand out though. (General comment, not you.) But some guys do have success. From what I saw today, not all down to clubs etc. Perhaps it's a mini local swinging network I stumbled upon. I don't know. Chin up anyway. | |||

"In this modern age?" For me it is all about sex with relative strangers which removes all the complications of a relationship or even of a friendship Some have become sort of friends. But they know and I know that no reasons or explanations are required never to see or to speak with each other in the future My real friends who I can rely on, are in the big wide world out there | |||
