I'm comfortable talking to anyone male,female,straight,gay whatever
However last week when I organised a social someone called it a cock fight over a hen before the actual event and in the end we had 50/50 female to male fabbers anyway but I was still feckin annoyed over what it was called
There's 2 threads looking for ladies to have lunch at present but as a man would you feel comfortable meeting other men for lunch or evening grub in a pub
Would others call it a cock fest....would you give a fuck if they did
Are men too competitive on here to try .....I've never seen a social for a men only but I'd love to organise one or go to one if someone else organised one

I regularly meet men in pubs for lunch.
I call these people friends.
Tbh I am on fab for chats mainly. Any meets however would only be with women. I've enough friends in my life I don't need the additional social outlet. Nothing wrong with it just giving my insight as to why it wouldn't interest me and perhaps others. |

There was a lovely guy here a few years back called Jaythekidd and he organised a guys only social in dublin. It was an epic fail, majority, if any even, just didn't bother turning up. Best of luck though if you organise one! |

I wouldn't have a problem attending but don't really have the time to organise or travel at the minute. One of my best friends is a man I first met through a fab gathering.
I would think though it would be something involving guys who are already friends on here as many would feel it wouldn't help them much in their fab journey especially if they are only looking to meet women. |

Yes it does and even from the messages received over last weeks social it was the same. I think its a great idea and even if only to get to know a few guys that if there's a social or mng on they know someone going. |

It is a great idea. And it was put forward by a man. Its a bit of a generalisation to be honest |

Its not a generalisation, I organised the social last week with Bogm and I seen the messages regarding it been a cock fest, and the amount of single guys who complain they can't get meets and look to go to socials or mngs and than don't turn up. |

But the fact there are plenty men who are interested in the social side means it's not a gender thing.
Plus there are plenty of women I know who aren't interested in the social side.

Great idea OP. In fact it's one aspect of Swing ... networking with like minded people regardless of gender or sexual orientation, isn't it?
Plus I think it would be short-sighted of newbies not to jump at it tbh  |

There would be some ear twitching going on from the lady folk! Would need everyone to sign an NDA so the only chat topics that can be shared post the meet are beer, food & football  |

Real measurements or the ones in our own heads? 
Game of strip risk going on elsewhere today, will probably still be running when this meet up happens so that's stripping covered for a week or so anyway! |

Personally I'd have no interest meeting guys for lunch. A casual pint yes but lunch no. I wouldn't even meet women for lunch on a first meet. Just like in the dating world. Coffee or drink at first. |

Not trying to be sarcastic here but if I was looking to expand my social circle I'd be on meetup.cok or I'd join a something that more aligned to my personality and where I feel I would have a higher percentage chance of finding people who share interests that I find important.
At the end of the day I'm here for sex. Which is an interest I share with a large percentage of the human population. It's also not a common interest I'd ever use as a foundation for forming friendship on.
If there are guys who want to do the social thing together then more power to them and I hope it's a great success. If it isn't a success then it might be worth trying other avenues for social outlets too. |

It’s always been the way, on here some have even organised it for non verified people to get the famous green tick. These are going out there way to organise it and didn’t show as thought not enough women would be going. Don’t know what they expectant the ladies giving them a orgy or what. |

Not giving a flying fuck what others think might be better for your sanity than organising a men’s only event in response |

Last Wednesday was a great evening and I met some sound people. There seemed to be an even spread of men/women but I wasn’t counting and I didn’t care tbh. I would turn up to all male social, no problem. |

I'm all over this. Yes yes and yes. Set it up and I will be there. I will bring people from the North if needs be to join in too.
Funny I was just talking to Missus about a lads night out.

From missus perspective:
Why not do a lads lunch with women joing you for drinks after - opposite of ladies lunches that we've been doing in Belfast.
This kind of balance might work better.
Us ladies usually meet at lunch time in a private venue, have a nice, quiet lunch with lots of chats and banter between ourselves and then in the evening our partners/ fab friends join in for a drink and a boogie |

Not sure why your "feckin annoyed" Bog.
I saw the Cockfight comment and moved on as I think most people did.
I would be happy to attend an event like this so please let me know if you are going ahead. |

I'd have no bother attending a lads only social. Nor would I give a flying fuck what anyone had to say about it! A sausage fest/cock fest would imply lots of naked men which would be highly inappropriate in a pub. If some lads have an issue with being around a group of men with similar interests,drinking pints/minerals and having the craic then that's their problem! Bring it on!!! |

It's something that I would be interested in but not just at the moment.
Fully vaxxed household here but 2 with colds. CV19 tested and free thankfully but all the talk is lots of people with colds n sniffles at the moment. Let's be honest, what's your current reaction if out in a pub/restaurant/coffee shop and someone is coughing or sneezing?
Exactly.
Put that together with only being in Dublin/place of work 1 or 2 days a week for many and I don't think the timing is right, just now, at least.
Yes I would definitely go but probably not in 2021 unfortunately.
Well done OP for putting up the suggestion though |

It's unfortunate for the guys that see others as competition. They're easy to spot on the forums though. I often think they're a bit insecure and actually miss out on meeting people that are sound because of it. Each to their own though. |

Thanks for the replies guys. As you can see by my profile I'm not around long enough to even qualify as a newbie. I'm guessing that socialising with like minded people can only enhance this experience. Even if other members here aren't sexually attracted to another, or different sexual preference, they could still have a laugh, be social, and teach / learn. Am I being naive when saying every conversation doesn't have to "be about the ride" |

Not a single one turned up.. but in fairness it was for all the unverified time wasters to get verified.
I would imagine a lads only social with verified members would be a massive success.
At the end of the day, be a good way of getting better verified and vetted to attend actual events. |

Just a thought on this
I attended a social in Belfast on Saturday that was very well organised
However there was a few hours to kill before we met for dinner in the hotel
A few of us met in the bar before that as we arrived on the afternoon of the social rather than sit in the room
Maybe the next social (November) when a lot of people are staying 2 nights or could travel earlier in the day if something was planned.It might be possible for the men to meet in the bar and have a pint watching a match
Just an idea |

There are people not interested in a lunch and then there are people who view other people as competition and would harbour resentment because of it. These are two different types of people, it was the latter I was referring to |
