I arrived early, parked and went to stand outside where we agreed to meet.. Five minutes later, a tap on the shoulder and a voice saying, "where have you parked.."Turned round and ahe was standing there with a full shopping trolley. No hint of shame, just said can you give me a lift home with this.. She made me a nice cup of tea when we got there though.

"Not quite a social, but I spotted a couple I’d chatted to on a ferry once. Didn’t think it was Fab etiquette to go and say hello, but I messaged to say I’d seen them afterwards though. They said I should have said hello. So could have had a random social in a ferry cafe." They say that after the fact but I think most people would not want this so personally I would ignore. I've had it happen to me, people coming up to me when I'm in company and each time I was not happy | |||

Not all general chit chat needs to involve Fab or who have you played with this week. Thats why i say lack of conversation skills Fair enough if you’ve met at a social or something, but I wouldn’t walk up to a random stranger thinking I know you from fab and say hi!!! that’s not lacking social skills Of course im not saying walk up to a random fab member and speak to them just because you know them from a profile picture or whatever. But my comments were made to a guy that said he had been CHATTING to someone which meant he knew them already. He then avoided them , why ??. The people concerned even said to him , you should have said hello. But it’s it’s not lacking social skills. Even if I’d been online chatting to someone here if I’d not already met them I wouldn’t just wander up to them though. I commented on kentish situation only . Its all about how well you know them and the circumstances of where and when and who else is with them etc . I would not have a ( i will not speak to any fab member ) rule, thats just daft. And how well are you assuming I knew them?

Not all general chit chat needs to involve Fab or who have you played with this week. Thats why i say lack of conversation skills This is completely honesty and can be for debate below about coming up to a fabber but , I have never heard anything so full of crap in my life. We are on a swinging site and many want discretion for many reasons and there's no way on earth I'm gonna come up to another fabber on the chance of putting them in an uncomfortable position and or predicament. I have respect for every one, even you as a fabber and would NEVER consider coming up to a fellow fabber. If that's your attitude then there is something seriously worrying in your thought process. Here's a hint, to start you point of above 'some people have no conversational skills', talk about condescending OMG. You have no idea peoples conversational skills are like only until you sample them so you canny group people like that.(SOME). When people came up to me in a public place when I was in company and alone it left me very angry but thinking about their conversational skills was the last thing on my mind. Rant over Peter ?? You say you wouldnt do it , fair enough, does that give you the right to say im full of crap because i would , erm nawwww. You say your have respect for everyone erm nawww again . Your posts constantly prove otherwise. You keep harping on about the same people being negative and starting arguments , erm nawww again . You my friend are the one who is ruder than the people you keep trying to put down when they have the AUDACITY to disagree with you or your views on something. Grow up man !!!" Please, please read the post again, I never said you were full of crap. I said what you said was full of crap. There is a big difference, a huge big difference. It does not matter if the person is random or been speaking to them in chat etc, I still would not go up to them incase they are put in an awkward position. You know what, if most of the people agree with you then kl that is up to them, I would not appreciated it and it has happened a few times and I know many, many more do not like it either. People have lost their jobs because they are swingers, people have been suspended because they are swingers. Its not a thing you can go up to people and start chatting about in other company even if you have fucked each other. Its just not the done thing. Genuinely I do not like you but I don't chat about you to others and if you post something that I genuinely agree with I would say so. If I say something that is wrong and you are right, again I will say so. Swinging is swinging and its looked at in the public eye as taboo so a lot of people want to keep it discreet for many reason, if not, everyone would have their face on their profile all the time and more etc... | |||

"Mine was arrivals at an airport. Told me where to sit and then sneaked up on me. She admitted she was hiding somewhere in case I didn't look like my pics. Anyway I was pleasantly surprised... at least initially." That kinda thing used to be very common on meeting, waiting for you to arrive, watching and then if interested they would come up. If they thought, 'fuck naw', then they would just leave you sitting there. | |||

" Those experiences are just samples of what I have experienced, had more and many other people have had more, some which did not end well, so why would you seriously want to take a chance with people of the same lifestyle that many other people who do not understand swinging believe it is taboo. If you are the sort of person who is quite happy to walk up to fabbers and start chatting, (obviously whom you know), then that is you. I'm not gonna start making up excuses and lies about peoples names and how I met them because they chatted to me if my company asked who was that. Your views are completely different from mine and shall remain so. | |||

"Next Think I sense some friction...., I’d agree with hedevil, a harmless hello can’t be that devastating, and let’s be honest, we all tell white lies to someone about our Fab existence " lol no friction. the person stats openly they are only interested in derailing posts and seeing arguments on the forums so why accommodate such a person. yes its all a harmless hello until you say so when they are in company and put them in an awkward position, why would you want to take that chance. if the person is in, an aisle, as hedevil says, yeah I get it you can say hiya etc.. but your taking a chance as you do not know that person. They may have played with you and have a partner and thus we are all put in an awkward position etc.. I've seen fabbers and they have seen me in a pub, nightclub etc... and I have smiled at them, visa versa but that's it, I would not go up to them incase they are with someone and I didn't realise. right that's my view and his view and im sure quite a few will agree with him and nothing wrong with that, until it becomes seriously awkward. I just put myself in that position if I can help it. Anyone got dodgy places to meet like the Necropolis or the Polmadie cleaning units | |||
