It’s always someone else’s fault isn’t it |

If my hypothetical friend decided with a few hours to spare that he was not going to turn up for a meeting at 15.00 this afternoon, how much notice would you want in order to get over from Alicante in order to stand in for me (oops, I mean him)? |

I think the only people they fuck it up for are themselves . The only people really with reason to complain about it are those let down .
I’ve never let anyone down by not showing up , it’s always a possibility when do show up though  |

"From the responses it appears that it is ok for a female or couple to get themselves ready and look forward to a meet that fails to materialise at short notice"
It’s not, and it sucked when it happened to me once. Shit happens though and just block and move on.
But I’d bet money on that not being the main reason some people choose not to single guys. |

What makes it hard is the simple amount of single men on here. It makes it difficult to get yourself known.
That's just how it works though.
Maybe club meets or local social meets would help you. |

So do I get praise for all the single men that do turn up for meets as a single man...no I dont
Therefore it doesn't fuck it up for me when they don't turn up
There's probably thousands of reasons not to meet me ( I'm not selling myself well here am I )
Others that don't turn up is not one of them |

We had 2 no shows and Nata lost interest
It was so confusing and felt unnecessary
She lost interest in swinging for a couple of years
Thankfully she has come back round and we met some lovely guys recently |

Not everyone tars all single men with the same brush just because they've been on the receiving end of the dreamers, fantasists and the found out.
Ergo, I don't believe that the behaviours of a few is causative of men not getting meets and couples stating they don't want to meet single men. |

It definitely ain't just the single guys, it's the whole range of single females and couples too. |

Aren’t they just fucking it up for themselves?
But, I do understand that we might get painted with the same brush by those not wise enough to see not everyone is the same.  |

My meet this afternoon has just been cancelled. It's one of those to things. She doesn't owe me anything nor I her. I don't make Fab a priority it's a little annoying because I spent time getting ready but that's all. She knows I have a free weekend and I'm sure she will organise another day. I'll treat myself to some self play time instead. |

I think most of us understand it. We just disagree.
I think there's a big amount of due diligence on both parties before a social or more.
Someone failing to show up doesn't spoil it for other single men. But then I'm never going to be a meet now/today/this week while I'm in your area person. |

No……. That is absolutely a kop out statement!
That is an “I’m absolutely blameless it’s everyone else’s fault “ answer!
You do not effect how I go in my swinging … and I don’t effect how you are doing!
I actually encourage people to put up the no single males sign, especially if they are new! It gives them breathing space without being swamped on by people…
Also.. if they are interested in you.. they can still do that! I encourage them to be hunting rather than just the hunted |

Nothing that men do on here doesnt really affect other men.
If people were interested in meeting you they would.
If people's someone's profile says they aren't interested in single men, it could be one of two things. 1 they aren't interested in any men or 2 they don't want to be bombarded with messages from men and prefer to make the first move. |

First sentence is a shambles sorry
What I meant to say was "Nothing that men do on here has an affect on other men. " |

Sorry but who should I and others be punished for what some idiots have done.
If someone doesn't meet then that is on them, I'm happy to meet up for fun or socials etc and hopefully my verifications show this

It is not directed to all single males as per the opening sentence. Yes some do have genuine reasons for having to pull out from a meet but I read time and time again about people being let down. It's not a cry for help from me. I have been around for long enough. I have had my fair share of people disappearing into to the woodwork when it is getting close to a meet. I just feel sorry for people being let down.
Wish I had never started the post. Adios as wont be bothering to read any more replies. Unfortunately I cannot delete it

To be fair there seems to be a lot of no show couples and women before we tear down the men. Or at least that's what we here over the years from many people we have talked to about the lifestyle and the gist we get from the forums. Also something we both experienced as singles many years ago. Because of this and our lack of flexibility with free time we genrally don't look to meet anyone off here (bar the occasional temptation). We stay opportunist swingers meeting people in clubs, parties and just out and about in the vanilla world.

Please don’t paint yourself as being the victim here… you do true victims of any sort a huge disservice….
You started this thread with a premise you thought was true, people are telling you that is not the case…
You can be open minded and learn and consider it growth, Or you can stick your fingers in your ears and shout la la la!
Which is the more adult response?

No shows are not gender specific lol
Loads of women and couples do it as well, never understood why only men get the blame for it |

it says no single males when you put the filters on because you dont want to be inundated with messages. Some single guys are dicks and some arent - it just takes time to speak to people and find out who is who - thats just how it is ! |

Still not sure how your two sentences connect.
What is the correlation between men not turning up for meets and women putting 'no single men'? Some women may not want to meet men, some may only want to meet couples, some may like to meet married men only.
How does it affect you? Surely if someone has put 'no single men' it just helps you with your selection process. |

Exactly, also, hotel room expenses, child care, our time is valuable to us (as is most peoples). We'd had a few no shows lately and it's really not ok.
Obviously we understand this is happen from time to time but when we've arranged a meet 4 weeks in advance to be told a few days before the meet "sorry I've double booked you" feels very unreasonable.

If a couple or single says “no single males”, then that’s their preference. I don’t see the correlation between single guys failing and couples/individuals having a preference?
Unless I’m completely missing the point here? 🤔 |

When we first joined we met a single guy a few times and played it was great. Then he just didn’t turn up to a meet we’d arranged (we’d paid for hotel etc)
We opened up our profile again to single men the other year and arranged 10 social meets over the month. 8 cancelled 1 just didn’t turn up and the guy we met I didn’t like! Hey ho.
Then the other week we’d been chatting to a couple of guys, arranged socials, both cancelled.
This is why I’m fed up with wasting my time on single guy profiles

And to that I always say… if you know you are after a particular type of person, don’t wait on them to come to you!… a no single guy’s block doesn’t stop you from making the first move!
Which is why I encourage couples to put it on!!! Be the hunters not the hunted!! |

This is why the majority of people I meet have come from networking at clubs and socials. No stress of 'will someone turn up?' to a one to one social you've had to arrange yourself.
Plus you generally tend to get 'known' in those situations. Word of mouth amongst friends has led to many a meet for people I know. Works both ways of course. If you get a less than favourable reputation word travels fast, but that's on you to ensure it doesn't happen. Find a good group of friends and it generally leads to ongoing introductions without having to rely solely on the Internet to make new contacts. 😁 |

Yep we have a nice group of friends we regularly meet up with for fun and friendship including couples/single guy!/single females.
We have been to loads of organised socials and love them and been to a few organised parties too and go to clubs.
I was just explaining why we put a block on single guys now, we either message direct or meet at organised socials or clubs. |

It's not "somehow" my dear squire, it is from possessing oodles of charm, beguilement and gentlemanly virtues."
The people who don't turn up were only pretending to have those qualities, along with chiselled abs and an above average appendage.
If it seems too good to be true.... |
