A social night for singles?

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

Just wondered if this is something that would be attended by an equal amount of single guys and single women? Has anyone ever organised a singles social night? if so how did it go?

From experience there would be about 10 guys asking to come along for every woman that asked to come.... but on the day / night there would be way more women than guys

this was tried before but it didnt go ahead .

How do you prove people are genuinly single ?

I for instance meet and play alone but im also part of a couple so would I be able to attend ?

That's a nice thought, Singles night for singles.

Although the amount of singles on here who are not single is very high on both sexes.

Maybe a vetting process can be done.

Sure someone will figure a test out

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to attend a singles event if you play yourself . I signed up to fab singles a few year ago,( what ever happened to it?) The whole point is to give singles a chance to meet as I'm constantly receiving messages from singles saying they wouldn't feel comfortable going to a club them selves, so if they met other singles feeling the same it would take the anxiety away x

As someone who has organjsed socials in the past if you had 20 guys say they are going to attend your be luck if 3/5 actually do.

Thats the main reason ive never tried to organise a singles social as i think youd end up with more a single ladies night x

That wouldn't be a bad thing lol maybe if like the other thread mentions- taking a high deposit - would make people think twice about it, a high non refundable deposit if you fail to appear. This would be given back to you if you turn up on the night and that's your drinks sorted so your not losing out. Just banking your spending money lol

Singles night sounds fun but I'm sure it's already been said that you need to invite more guys than girls since a lot of them don't show up.

You can already see the biggest problem on this thread.....what is single. the op im taking it see this as on a single profile. while others like me see single as meaning without a life partner. which means some folk if they attended would be being conned. I think thats the main reason it couldnt work.

This is why I don't go to clubs as much as I'd love to go, I'm not shy but I'd still feel uneasy there by myself. The idea of the singles night sound very interesting I'd be happy to go along because we're all in the same boat.

Count me in. If people want to spoil it by coming along when they aren’t single that’s up to them. Just seem pointless though.

Maybe valentines isn’t good timing though as everything is geared up for couples and getting a venue might be difficult.

I'm more surprised at the amount of posts that say the single men never turn up. In most vanilla pub/clubs ETC you have way more men trying to pull the women that the other way around.

However all that said if it went ahead and I am not busy I'd attend.

most socials limit single males which is a factor that has to be taken into account. on paper most socials go along the lines of 30 to 40% cpls 50 to 60% single fems and 10 to 20% single males.

A world of my own

From the socials I've been involved in organising, single men are quick to confirm and even pay for their place, but still bottle it. I don't like reserve lists but sometimes they become a necessary evil. As a rule we always have far more men in our numbers to count for the ones who dont attend. Therefore we always seem to get a good turn out.

That said it's not just single men who don't show up. Women and couples do too. Its just life and to be expected.

I think singles night would be fun

Reply privately (closed, thread got too big)

If commitment to attend is a problem, make it a ticketed event, put the money behind the bar or pay for the venue, and surely more guys will attend if they have paid to get in.

Just a thought...

I have been to a few socials and once my place is confirmed I turn up ...barring major disasters obviously.

I think the reason the ladies always turn up is because they are usually partnered up but attending as "singles" whereas the its quite difficult for the guys to do this due to ratios.

Guess what im saying is that its probably the fact that they attend alone thats offputing.

None of the single fems that I know rely on a partner to attend socials. They go it alone. Surely 2 singles going together is tgmhen a couple attending.

I suppose that situation is up for discussion as I would suggest the whole point of a singles social would be for singles to meet up with other singles as there seems to be more than enough events going on for couples, don't you think?

If a single person is looking for a partner and enjoys swinging then there is no harm in looking for that partner on a swinging site as I know many have over the years Iv been on here. So there is a lot of successful dating going on. You make a good point though about only allowing single profiles to attend but as some have said there are couples with their own single profiles as well. The different events I refer too on my other post are not exclusively for those groups so there will always be cross overs and that's fine as long as people realise it's aimed towards single people.

I think if you have a single profile then you can and should be able to go to an organised singles event. Regardless of whether you have a couples profile.

Many people have couples profiles to allow them to experience swinging as a couple ie mmf or ffm etc or go to clubs.

It would he very difficult IMO to state only 'single' people can attend as there are many singles here without partners blessing, knowledge and many singles who play with blessing and knowledge.

It should be billed as a single event night, so in the interest of being non judgmental if you have a single profile you should in theory be able to attend.

This isn't something that can be set in stone, like every other night for the previously said groups as long as those attending understand it's aimed at single people. Invitations won't be given to couple profiles but if couples who play single wish to attend via single profiles they do so with the understanding it's aimed at single people. We could go round in circles here so need to trust people to be truthful ( which I know is a big ask) could go a step further and put a red feather on the head of someone who is part of a couple and a green one on singles so everyone is clear who is single lol just a thought

"And this is why there has never been a singles night as noone could decide or know who was allowd to come who was single who wasnt. Who were a real couple and who wasnt.

For me peraonally a singles night would mean people who only have single profiles.

And before anyone starts on yes i know people could lie and i know its not a dating site. Im just ecpressing my view x

Ye but surely if you have a couples profile aswell then your not single in the meaning of the word lol?

Its a minefield and tbh i dont think it matters what way you do it you wont please everyone such is life x

Unfortunatly for me it is very clear cut and has absolutly nothing to do with what type of profile folk have. Single to me and im sure many others means you have no significant other. Its the reason I dont think this could work . On top of that im not a big fan of any segregation type events.

I can almost see the fallout a week months later hey how are you just wondering if you would like to go out for a drink tommorow night.......... sorry I cant got a dinner and dance thing with the wife/hubby tommorow lol

So even though two people who are effectively single and have their own profiles but also have a couple's profile, you would put a red feather on both of us anyway?

Were you meaning a night like one a conventional dating site do with the possibility of a 'soulmate search' - meeting a partner? In that case you would want people to all have genuine single status then.

People wishing to attend would come along on the understanding that there may be singles there looking for partners so they also need to understand it's not fare on the genuine singles attending to come along claiming your free to play or date when you are indeed not.

It seems to be all ways single guys get penalised for anything regarding couples or fbs profiles or going to any events or clubs .but its oky for a girl to do it ,myself I think.its totally sexist .

I get the feeling that because of this debate, one of two things will happen here, this event might not go ahead or you will simply not invite people who have said they have a couple's profile.

That may be the case and tbh I couldn't care less if you both attend a singles night or not that is your choice BUT it is not sexist, these types of words get branded around when people throw their toys out the pram because they are not getting their own way.

No one is throwing their toys out of their pram and it's certainly not about getting our own way. I just feel that we should be able to come because we are single. Just my opinion, we are all allowed to have our own opinions.

As long as you have a single profile ( male or female) and are free to play and date, your welcome to put your name down and a reserve list will be held for further singles ( male and female) then a 2nd reserve list will be held for couples who are free to play as singles. It's not that complicated oh and there will be a non refundable deposit if you don't turn up lol which will be spent on all our drinks for the night lol ( maybe give to charity but I like the idea of drinking it cause it will annoy those who just couldn't be bothered turning up lol ) or we could hold the non-returned deposits towards the next event which can only be better than the last as there will be more money to spend on it ! This can be up for discussion!

If it's on a Saturday and you can't attend you have to give notice by Wednesday at 5pm so others on the reserve list can pay their deposit. If you haven't made contact by then you lose your deposit. Does that seem fare?

No idea, I'm lost. Damn Sat nav!

This is why the last singles night that someone tried to arrange didnt go ahead .

There is far too many contradictions of whos allowed to attend and who isnt.

As for it being easier for singles to attend a singles night because they are too nervous to attend any other social or club night is stupid because at the end of the day they are still walking into a room full of strangers which in effect is no different to walking into any put for a night out.

All single profiles are welcome but you have to declare if you are free to play&date or just play as a single ( you will be colour coded accordingly ) so everyone is clear. Couple profiles won't receive an invite. Your interest needs to come from a single profile.

I am failing to see what part is sexist! If you are part of a couple you are not single, what part of that is sexist please explain?

But what if you have a single profile too??

I wish you good luck with your event.

It's your event so you make your rules! Everyone will have an opinion on what's fair and what is not.

Personally, and that's easy, I am confused by some of the terminology used in this thread.

To me, single is single.

If you have a couple's profile with a friend, a flatmate, a married guy and any other variant you are not single! If you have a single profile and you have a friend, a flatmate, any other variant at home/not on Fab... you are not single!

'If you are free to date' some couples meeting alone are free to 'date' again depends on One's definition of the word.

I am not looking for couples or attached men or women so this event is not for me.

It's a shame as they are genuine singles on here which such event would be good for but in my opinion too hard to guarantee only single will turn up!

But like I said have fun and good luck with it

Hope I make sense

People who have a kid on fab coupling do so to get to events such as cjs couples only nights and other couple only parties. Next they'll be cross dressing just to get to the TV events

"And this is why there has never been a singles night as noone could decide or know who was allowd to come who was single who wasnt. Who were a real couple and who wasnt.

For me peraonally a singles night would mean people who only have single profiles.

Curious as to why your so keen to go a social event aimed at singles looking to meet other single people when your profile clearly states you are only meeting as part of a couple! Confused!

And before anyone starts on yes i know people could lie and i know its not a dating site. Im just ecpressing my view x

Ye but surely if you have a couples profile aswell then your not single in the meaning of the word lol?

Its a minefield and tbh i dont think it matters what way you do it you wont please everyone such is life x

So even though two people who are effectively single and have their own profiles but also have a couple's profile, you would put a red feather on both of us anyway?

If you declare yourself single to play&date you go green

If you declare yourself as part of a couple but free to play single on a single profile you go red

It's not complicated Lol

So because we have a couple's profile, you would give us red?"

If your free to play and date ( looking for a partner) then you get a green

If your free to play but not date ( not seeking a partner) then you get a red it's just a suggestion and up for discussion

We aren't duping anyone. It's just that we find it very hard to get meets on our own profiles so that's why we set up the couple's profile. Is there any harm in that? I am sure that there are lots of single people on this site who also have a joint profile together "
your 100% correct there are loads.....that dosnt make it right in some folks eyes words are used to describe something. Single in mosts eyes means un attached in life but to yourselfit means I am single but wont meet anyone unless they also meet my other half.

So many people want there cake and everyone elses and hey I want the peanuts too..

the problem imo is simple folk bastardise words to maximise what is acceptable.

Anyway this event will be great for folk who accept the ops terminology of single others will steer clear of it because of it.

so the folk with the same thinking should be in attendance

There is nothing wrong with anything people do on this site as long as they are upfront and everyone knows what they are all about. You have to be clear about your intentions on your profile so people know we're they stand. You still get people diving in and not reading it but that's not your issue it's theirs

Out of interest if it were a couples only social/party that was being organised would you say "we are a fb couple we have a profile to back this up" and think you should be able to attend?

Wow my head is sore. Think in simple terms only those with single profiles will be invited. I don't think op has the time to investigate if they also have a couples profile or if they're attached.

So I'm reading through all these comments, and they just don't make sense.

So you want to have a social for singles? That's easy to understand. But why are couples suddenly being involved?

And the stuff about couples having single profiles so it being ok is just ridiculous.

I am one half of a couple. We have a couples profile. If I then decide to make myself a singles profile, then that's fair enough as long as I state I also have the couple's profile.

There's nothing wrong with any of that.

But I don't suddenly think, oh wait I'll go to a singles social as I have my single profile. I'm still part of a couple any way you choose to look at it, so no amount of twisting it and justifying it will change the fact.

A singles social should be just that. For 1 person, who has no-one else, who wants to be able to meet someone who is also just 1 person and then they may become 2.

It's not really rocket science !

Oh my God this thread is giving me a headache never mind arranging this night. Good luck to the OP. I agree should only be a singles night for people who have single profiles not a couple one too.

There is normally couples and single nights at clubs so I think it would be nice to just have a singles night for the single people.

Before anyone says no I wouldn't go cause I am not single which clearly states on my profile

Good to the organiser of this singles night, if you need any advice ask Ms (O2NNCH2)3 she is a expert at single socials...or so she states between being single or part of a couple...

See there is a fine line here for some between single and couple.

The last 3 females I have chatted to, eventually told me they have a partner or FB but for me I was finding this out later down the line. I had a meet one time, (I know shocker), at mine and as we had been chatting for a while, I invited her up to mine and during the conversation she told me she was married, (WTF)

I like to look at a single profile and have then state that they have an Fb or a partner or married who does or does not know or who knows and sometimes joins in on 3 sumes, foursums etc..

at least I know where I stand.

So I suppose a social night for singles what does it mean and reason?

Is it a night that there maybe a spark between two singles and they might hit it off knowing there is no one else I the picture. I feel that if all single people went, there would be a few who have someone in the background that they like. meet, know or even fuck occasionally, it's just their interoperation.

So if that's the case would it mean that singles with couples profile can they come as their couples profile might only just to meet girls or guys for a 3some or 4some but on their singles profile they meet alone.

My head is spinning thinking this out, no wonder I don't drink and that's even before trying to figure out single profiles of women who are married but want to fuck about behind hubby's back and the same for guys who do the same loll or even that their life partners know but don't want anything to do with it and acknowledge that they don't mind them playing away, so they are classed as single by some in here and classed as not single by others.

I'm lost, I should have looked at that forum post of "Do Girls Like It Up The Ass" and put a comment in there, it would have been easier than to try and work out this conundrum

I don't even know what icon to put on my post so put a few

Yeah the world of swinging is a very complicated place and none of us are going to come up with a definite conclusion so here goes:

***Iv took on board all the comments***

You can only note an interest in coming from a single profile: ( male or female)

You can only come if you declare you are available to play&date ( seeking a potential partner of the same or opposite sex)

Iv simplified the situation so I'm afraid that takes out the single profiles who are part of a couple playing single lol 'oh mammy ma heed is burstin'

You are a complicated lot lolol

Good luck with it and I hope all that attend are genuinly single.

It sounds more a night for a dating site rather than a swinging site but Im sure there are many looking for a partner than a swinging fwb so I guess it would work for many.

Good luck xx

With the statement of (
"(You can only come if you declare you are available to play&date ( seeking a potential partner of the same or opposite sex)"
)

I aint looking to date, got to much in my life with work and kids so I wouldn't go incase people presumed otherwise as its started. It's just not my intention, not saying that might not happen in here, but I don't want to go as if the intention of looking for someone to date.
