Evening all your beauties

So what are your experiences of the planned socials … not the 1-1 but the event type …where like minded folk attend.

Did they work out for you?

Would you do them again?

Are you a frequent attendee?

I've been to a few different ones now and they can definitely be overwhelming if you're a quiet/reserved type of person. If you're not in the right zone they can be stressful too.

Otherwise it's a great way to meet people. Put yourself out there and connect where you can

Never been but I actually have my name down for 2 later in the year.

It's 50/50 if I'll actually go though, I think they're just too sociable for me.

We’ve been to loads & not been to a bad one. A great way to connect with others that you might not consider from their Fab profile & get the all important verifications

Years ago I organised a few in Edinburgh and they were fun nights. It's hard work but I think everyone who attended had a good night. I went out of my way to make sure everyone was interacting and chatting with others and it filled my wee soul.

I've been to a few Glasgow socials over the years and again, a lot of work goes into them.

I'm looking forward to my first lounge social though. I think it will be a very different night out as there's so many people I've already chatted with and can't wait to meet in person.

So organised socials are a yes from me.

York in July, it's small great hosts and some nice people go would really recommend it. Off to the Manchester social in August it's an unknown but we'll see how it goes, hopefully some more fun friends

By *eliWoman over a year ago

I've really enjoyed them for the most part, I'm definitely enjoying them a lot more currently.

They're great to go to with someone - whether that's a lover or a friend it can be good to have that person with you. And they might change their mind and think they're not half bad.

They can be a tad overwhelming at times, new place, new people, loud... I guess it depends on the one you go to. Different socials have different vibes/people that attend.

If you find the right one and put in the effort, not only will you singalong to Hamilton, you'll also get a chance to flirt, meet some fantastic people whose friendship can transcend Fab. And dance. Poorly.

There are a couple I'm planning on going to in the coming months. I need to decide which ones are definite before the end of the month. :D

Normally you find single guys are limited on some social, there's definitely more couples and single ladies than single guys

I think if you know some of the people going, they're an absolute blast as you have the people you know as a safety blanket and that gives you confidence to chat to new people. It can be very daunting and overwhelming with how many people are there but the ones I've been to haven't been cliquey as I'd worried and people are more than happy to chat

I only started with the swinging thing in April. The first one I went to in Manchester I went saying to myself that I would only stay for an hour and a half. I stayed all night and had a blast. I have been to 4 group socials since including the Manchester MLS, and Up the Brum. I highly recommend them. I don't go having expectations. And I see them as a way to make friends with like minded people. If I make sexy connections too then great but I don't treat it as my goal. I did a post about group socials a while ago. I will find it and put it here.

"If you don’t mind.

https://m.fabswingers.com/forum/meets/1472396

No offence…. This is where you have to be an OG… this is nowhere near the right answer!

This might of been the post COVID reboot… but the fab socials were things of lore

You could almost set out a timetable and diary…. Wigan taking over a cricket club, 400 at the Glasgow social, persuading a Nottingham city centre pub to go private on a Saturday night to let 300 of us party, booking out 3 wings of a hotel in Doncaster, getting 3 buses to take people post social in Newcastle to a curry house

Birmingham, Bristol, Southampton, Essex , the gay village in Manchester, the Cardiff takeover of an Aussie pub!

A few things back then…

1) organisers use to liaise with each other so they didn’t clash and they were spaced apart

2) people from all over the country use to go and make weekends of them

3) they were not affiliated with clubs… social literally meant socialising and in that respect you didn’t have to limit different groups because you knew they were non play events (what you did after was up to you)

Me and obi-fox talked about it in a thread about socials a few weeks ago on here

In a weird way you didn’t have to worry about journalists being there because there was no play the headline “adults getting d*unk and singing on a Saturday night” isn’t really grabbing!

I will always maintain what killed the grand old socials of old were the rise of local chatrooms… because people then thought in an insular way, and the chatrooms are little bubbles within themselves!

It's a great way to meet People You Wouldn't/Couldn't play with and just chat with them about everything.

No Play means no pressure for that click but yeah, it worked for Me..

Totally insane for a Newbie to Socials but I've bitten the bullet and am off to UtB9 on my own (If you see someone sat in the Corner for a while.. that'll be me!)

It's a great way to meet People You Wouldn't/Couldn't play with and just chat with them about everything.

Another social whore here

I absolutely love them, meeting so many people, laughing until my sides hurt, flirting, dancing and getting up to general silliness! I've met the best people at socials, my besties for life, the love of my life and others I've made amazing memories with! Socials have enabled paths to cross that have brought the happiest (and sexiest) times since joining fab, long may it continue!

I've attended a handful of London socials. The Bank Social was my first one and I was extremely nervous and hesitant in attending, because I didn't really know what I had signed up for! It was also very convenient to get to and I knew that I could bail out if my nerves got the better of me.

I previously attended the (now defunct) 'City Social' which was a much smaller affair but thoroughly enjoyable - it was like a dinner party in a wine bar.

I recently mentioned The Central North London Social, which is now the stalwart of the London-based socials. I've only been a couple of times and these have been a genuinely fantastic experience, a perfect conduit to meet some truly wonderful, engaging, inclusive but bat-shit crazy Forumites!

I still find them a daunting experience because of nervousness and the "going alone Billy no mates" sense of feeling.

I'm attending the next Manchester Social in September. This is a big step for me as it's my first non-London social.

No offence…. This is where you have to be an OG… this is nowhere near the right answer!

This might of been the post COVID reboot… but the fab socials were things of lore

Birmingham, Bristol, Southampton, Essex , the gay village in Manchester, the Cardiff takeover of an Aussie pub!

A few things back then…

1) organisers use to liaise with each other so they didn’t clash and they were spaced apart

2) people from all over the country use to go and make weekends of them

Me and obi-fox talked about it in a thread about socials a few weeks ago on here

In a weird way you didn’t have to worry about journalists being there because there was no play the headline “adults getting d*unk and singing on a Saturday night” isn’t really grabbing!

Ok.

"Evening all your beauties

So what are your experiences of the planned socials … not the 1-1 but the event type …where like minded folk attend.

Did they work out for you?

Would you do them again?

Are you a frequent attendee?

"
I did try to go to one recently unfortunately it wasn't advertised in the meets section so i was late getting to it and even though i was a few weeks before the event no places left for guys, they were still advertising for women and couples the day before, such is life

We love them, like a few that mentioned it before, the utb socials are always good, great venues and such a great mix of people. The organisers really go to town ensuring everyone has a good night. We've met some wonderful people through their events. Looking to attend many more socials when we're not actually doing life things.

Totally agree, I was at UtB1 in the Jewellry Quarter 3yrs ago and had a laugh
