I know that this will be greeted quite sternly by some, but I would like to know if I am just a perve or if there are others like me out there!!!! I like to view pictures and consider physical attraction as a very impotant element in making a choice when contacting someone I would like to play with. I hold my hands up as being one of those guys that would see an attractive lady's avatar or pictures on profiles and make contact. I also hold my hands up and say that I do skim read some of the longer profiles, mainly to see if the person/people would not welcome contact from someone who meets my criteria. I use the same when casting my eye in clubs, bars even on the road or in supermarkets! So many people seem to object to contact from someone who initially finds them pleasing on the eye. I know that some believe this to be the wrong way to play pefering to find attraction on an intellectual level more so than physical. I just want to know if others prioritise meets in the same way. I have met with some that I thought were physically attractive, only to find that they are not really people I would befriend, yet remained glad that I had made their acquaintance. Am I wrong to admit to this? but I don't want to feel that I should lie and for example say that it was a persons welcoming pofile that made me contact them, when on occassion it is the lovely pictures that caught my eye?

You love looking at pictures but they have a "very impotent element" lol couldnt resist. Nothing wrong with looking at pictures and messaging someone you find attractive AS LONG AS you have also read their profile to see if you meet with their criteria. Think thats what most do

O o O oo

Physical attraction is a must, and as we look for NSA sex, then that is the first thing that will attract me.

The person still has to be able to converse to want us to meet him, the prettiest person we won't meet if they can't....but nevertheless, physical attraction still comes first.

Of course the pretty packaging of a profile is going to attract,that does'nt mean that whats inside will be what you first thought

Theres nothing wrong with finding that an initial attraction is only an initial attraction

Thats why you contact people so you can find out more about them if possible

Nothing wrong with that at all,I don't know why if you have read a profile and sent a message that people would be upset by that

Agree with all above, but have noticed many even hiding code words within the profile to ensure that you hve studied, and taken note of each word. At times I simply want to say I contacted you because you are damned sexy, yet some would pefer that you read about their lives outside of swinging also.

i'm not dissproving your criteria, but that's your criteria... it's not everyones.

some folk want to know that you have read their profile and match their criteria as what's important to them is that there is a mental as much as a physical match.

no-one's insisting you read about them, but it could be to your detriment if you don't, so i guess it depends how sexy you find them as to what effort you put in.

But if you dont read the profile as well you may not like what the person requires or wants to give. Of cause look at the pretty pictures but if you dont read the profile your going to randomly message people that arnt going to get back to you cause your not what there looking for

If other single men share your attitude, is it any wonder single men get blocked!

Physical attraction is a must, but it has to be a two way street.

If you're not what someone is looking for, and you can't be bothered to read what others want I think that's disrespectful as you appear to only see the person as a piece of meat for your gratification.

If your approach works for you...you go get em Tiger!

The majority of times, if I do not like the look of someone, I would not progress any further with them.

However, I have been known to make the odd mistakes!

Yes, I agree, despite the fact that I really like pretty guys, I just won't meet them unless they have a couple of brain cells to rub together.

Fair point Sassy, however, I would not like to be portrayed a someone who would only use someone as a piece of meat. I do find that point way off the mark and would not like anybody else to have that idea of me. The forums are the perfect place to get to know a persons attitude, beliefs and outlook on this great lifestyle. Using youself as the perfect example: I know from forums of your sexual preferences, ground rules that you play by and expect to abided by, and also realise that I would not be of interest to you sexually, however, I also enjoy your witty remarks, and at times valid points in these forums. That would not prevent me from engaging you in conversation in an open forum like this, nor at a social, club or any other venue we may frequent. My point was merely that I prefer a picture to words. I have come acoss profiles where some would write of the need to be safe in play and insist on contraceptives yet in pictures clealry indulge with different partners without. I just believe that at times a picture may speak a thousand words. Do you not sometimes believe that the wording on profiles are at best a sales pitch? saying what people want to hear, and not a true reflection? Not being an oil painting myself, I do heavily rely on my personality, in which case I should expand on the wording in my profile, but find it hard to write anything outside of the usual that most write. IIf this does get me blocked by some, then I have to accept that, however, I do hope this is not the general concensus. When settling down and seeking a partner for an emotional relationship I will seek similar things as some do on their profiles here, and obviously would enjoy time spent with others with similar interests, but don't hold the same emphasis on people I would engage with on here as I would when describing my perfect partner. In all honesty I do not think that I would ignore the advances of a lady who held diferent beliefs if I found her physically attractive, unless they were extreme. I hope I have clarified my point without causing offence.... ggggrrr (my impression of a tigers roar)

I just skim read this Topic, and got a feel for the general content, and an overview of the key-points of the participants...

I think that by adhering to narrow criteria, you risk throwing the baby out with the bathwater?

You mention all the people who you met, but didn't really like; how about all the people you've chosen not to meet, but might have clicked with?

I always attempt to not be rude, and hope that I NEVER appear that way. A polite no thanks to a sexual meet, should not mean that I would not interact with them in any other way. Were I fortunate eniough to meet all of the people I have spoken with I would hope that we could still enjoy each others company. Nobody has ever been rude towards me, and without sounding like I am sitting on the fence I believe that an evening with many I have met in forums, or through pm would be the recipe for a fun evening!

All that your affirming is that there are many different ways to interact with other human beings.

For me, the fundamental tenant of Swinging is that there is no implied obligation. That is to say that at any point, one party can call cessations, and this is to be considered acceptable!

As you quite rightly say, the refusal of sex, is not a refusal to all other forms of interaction; such as talking shite on forums!

At risk of seeming rude myself; if find nothing remarkable about your statements; humans have been doing these things since before before the advent of Fire

Maybe those people who do not share photos of themselves are a head of the game - it makes you try to connect on a cerebral level first before getting 'bogged' down with the physical attraction thing. Granted, someone who is pleasing on the eye is an advantage.

Some of the best sex I've had has been with people who are would not be described as 'typical' beauties.

I try not to discriminate on physical appearance. I know I sometimes do, I'm only human.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with this in all honesty. Too many act like they want to be more than basic instincts but the fact is we all like people we find attractive, it's how animals work.

If I arranged to meet a man that I had not seen but had connected with - ahem - "mentally" and he showed up and turned out to be a 40 stone tracksuit wearing slob with porkpie hanging out his mouth... would I sleep with him? No. Might have a chat, but that's it.

My view, the more honesty we have on sites like this, the more we meet the RIGHT people for us.

Whoops I forgot to add that, of course, personality DOES count, just that it's not 100% of the deal.

That's what the profile is for. And if you thought there was a spark - you'd want to see a photo. And take it from there.

There is always the possibility that the physical reality will diverge from the claim. That's why we chat to build up a level of trust with the other person.

But there are no guarantees...

agree with the others, many members here have photos, they are there to catch peoples eye, they are our shop window, personally we hope that people will look at the pics and find us to be what they may be looking for and then choose to read our profile.

Skimming our profile is fine, then if we are still compatible from the basics (smokers, couple, who we meet, where we are, can accommodate, cant travel etc) then they would choose to read the whole profile and then make contact if they still feel the same way as they did when they first viewed the pictures.

And those that don't meet our criteria or we don't meet thiers are as welcome to look at the pics as often as they wish or avoid (block) ignore us, we respect thier views/criteria/wishes and also respect those who don't meet our criteria so don't contact us for not wasting our time
