When was the last time you changed your mind on something you were emotionally invested in to believe ?
When was the last time you changed your mind on something you had to challenge your own biases on ?
When was the last time someone you didn't like changed your mind on a topic ?
People like to believe they are capable of objective thought and many are not .
I'd like to think a swinging crowd may be a little more open minded than a general population sample but that may be my own bias also dictating that narrative in my head. |

I used to believe all smack heads were irredeemable wasters and were better off staying clear of until I met an addict at work who was one of the loveliest people I ever met, sadly the smack got him in the end RIP. But I stay open minded now with people struggling with addiction. |

An open mind sexually doesn't mean having the intelligence to confront alleged personal biases and change old programming.

Sorry O.P. but in my experience a swinging crowd are after sex not an hour of critical analysis of their own prejudices and bias....
Pssssst. I used to think only the open minded would swing.... turns out they are hormone driven to a huge extent  |

Because of my work I have to challenge my biases everyday in an unstructured way, and every week in structured supervision. That’s only the biases at work though. I am sometimes too drained after work to reflective and question myself regularly. |

I can't answer the questions to be fair. There are too many elements to each.
I'll go for number 1. I used to believe that people would do the right thing. Over the years I learned that there are no absolutes. |

That's a great awareness of yourself and fair play challenging your own thoughts. It's another great example ! Something I like about the women's game is I think it tends to be more honest than the men's .
As for the quality , hard to match the mens but as a qualifier there is a hell of a lot of investment and a lot more men play the game. Proportionally speaking , it's fantastic and the games I have watched I have enjoyed .
Your analysis of lack of ball bag has me in stitches laughing ! |

I am a stubborn old goat and it is hard for me to change my mind on anything once I have an opinion. However, I am always happy to hear the opinion of others, even if it is not aligned with my own without judgement and am always open to being persuaded by a well thought out and researched defence of position that has not been gleaned for the Sunday sport, QAnon or Wikipedia. Last time I changed my mind on anything was a political thing in a Scottish election when I was persuaded to vote for Alex Salmond, not because he was a SNP member of parliament and I am not naturally inclined to vote that way, but because of his record as an MP for his constituency regardless of his constituents political beliefs |

I wasn't commenting on the thread content...... I was commenting on what you 'thought' swingers might be like.
