In the "normal world" is so hard.
People either judge your choices/past or just see you as an easy fuck.
I want a swinging relationship but it is so difficult for someone who has never done this what it entails.
That it is not just a free pass to fuck around, and that I want all the things in a normal relationship, but with added naughtiness.
Sigh  |

I have had a swinging relationship before.
It didnt work out but not because of swinging.
I want that again.
Its so fun going to clubs together or having naughty meets, but knowing you are the only one they want to cuddle up to at the end of the night x |

That would my ideal relationship, not too many people want that though, they prefer to play away from home. |

No, jealousy was not in my nature if it is just sex |

You have to throw in chemistry, attraction and a realistic distance too.

That's true but I think the chances are still better on here or meeting at clubs than turning a guy from the outside world into this lifestyle.
Lots of guy's egos can't take 'their' woman being with and enjoying another guy.  |

Even dating without the added naughtiness seems impossible.

These days not many people are willing to take time to actually meet face to face for a coffee
It’s basically send face picture and if one doesn’t look like David beckham ( example) or alek wek
Then it’s - no Thankyou your not my type
Very sad online dating these days |

You have to build a strong relationship first and that takes time.
The mental side of all this is too much for some people. The fantasy is very different to the reality and most cant cope.
Exclusivity hah thats a joke even when swinging together in whatever form that may take.
Plus from my experience people aren't that honest there always looking for who's next.
I've been here 3 years looking for a partner but alas I'm no nearer now than then.
But good luck Ivy as I feel you may need it. |

First and foremost it is not a dig at you or anyone who seems in the same case as you are. It is merely my take on it.
In my opinion it looks like ppl who are looking for a relation with a set of requirements fail themselves. Those requirements which are supposed to make them happy (if found), deserve them more that they serve them.
Moving away from the hollywoodian conception of a relationship, it is something that you build and can't be as perfect as your idealised in the first place. Most importantly it is a two way streets. You may want that but your partner wants something... I don't believe that symbiosis exist and I rather embrace the fact that a relationship is made of compromise.
Now you need to know what compromise you are willing to accept or not and ultimately are those compromises will make you happy or not.

I dont have a huge list though  but I wont just settle for less either....
I know I am not a demanding person and I am highly flexible on alot of stuff so wanting to remain a swinger which is in my nature really is not something worth conpromising, otherwise I would be unhappy in said relationship and it would be doomed from the start |

I dream of finding a lady for dating properly who enjoys this lifestyle. Unfortunately people don't understand that you can still love somebody and have sex with others, it's a pleasure in life that we can all partake. One day I may find that elusive lady x |

I think people set out quite often with unrealistic expectations when searching for a relationship ( I probably used to)
Throw swinging into the mix and it probably complicates things more...who's to say you will both want to approach that the same way too |

I’ve had it a couple of times through fab although on the understanding that although we are in a relationship I don’t want them to move in with me etc, although that also happened once.
I suppose what I strive is for the stage between a FWB and a relationship. I think if a relationship is what your wanting but a swinging one fab is the place to find it but you kind of need to go all in for that.
Have it on your profile and only meet the people that can give you what you want. I no longer settle for less than I want no matter how much the horn takes me.
We need miss cheeky chops old dating threads back, there were some successful couples from that |

I do not want a FWB.

You mentioned not wanting to settle for less. What exactly is your criteria said person has to meet? |

I think it must be difficult to have everything you want from the start. A lot of couples are together first and then bring swinging into the relationship later as a kind of add on.
I hope you find what you are looking for. We certainly feel very privileged to be able to do this in a way that works for us.

I've been looking for that exclusive relationship for two and a half years now, would be more than happy to settle down with the right one but finding her seems very hard as Ivy has said.
The swinging side would be very much optional, it's finding someone that you want to cuddle up to night after night that's the hard part. Similar values and interests, good conversation, music taste, food taste, film taste...god the list seems endless  |

Similar values yes, but food/music/film taste etc really are not that important to me, I dont want a male clone if myself lol.
As long as they lived close enough and was a swinger (oh and in a decent enough age range, no old man or manchild) then honestly I would date.
Looks and body type and interests etc are all not as important when I am not just looking for sex |

Finding play partners has never been that much of a problem, finding something more than the sex is. You might be very sexually compatible, but if the conversation stalls once the sex is over or the interests are poles apart it wouldn't go much further than fwb. |

Advice would be. Don’t settle for less than what you want. But some compromise for a truly decent person is worth it. But not if it means giving up what’s at your core with little in return. However you can get lucky and I mean really lucky so why not stop being hard on yourself and be open to possibilities while having lots of fun? |

That's because you're doing it the wrong way round!
Vanilla dating, it's pretty easy to find some compatible, and you do all the interests and conversation first before you get to the sex. |

Believe me, when I see potential girlfriend material sex is the last thing that's gets mentioned in chatting, very different world from fab. I'm definitely not ultra picky, just know what I like. I wouldn't want to waste their time or mine if I knew it wouldn't last.

I think your best bet is to look within the scene for what your looking for. Fab meets, socials, parties, clubs, friends of friends, etc. Just like normal dating the more you get your self out there and interact the more opportunities you create and the more lessons you learn. There isn't any real difference to vanilla dating. Accept on the scene hopefully the people you meet will share your views on sexual monogamy, share your appetite and can be adult when it comes to each others sexual history. Yes there maybe cheats, liars, time wasters and users on here. But that is no different to vanilla dating. But there are also some great people on here (some who maybe looking for the same). You just never know who you'll meet on your adventures. We met on Fab. Hope you find what your looking for. |

Same. I'll probably never find someone who likes what I like on POF, but then what I do like would be considered quite tame on here. |

I think vanilla dating is hard. It's hard to find someone compatible and who is actually serious about dating. I might see someone who has all the same interests as me right down to our favourite band or whatever, send them a fairly detailed message talking about their interests, just to get nothing in return. Not even a profile view. It can be quite disheartening sometimes. I'm not entitled to anything in return, I know that, but I can't help feeling jaded about it.

It's just a number game, if you keep on trying, you will find someone you click with, then take then out and you will click in real life. You will eventually find someone, of that I can be certain, if you just want vanilla. |
