Yep once again left hanging out to dry by a couple who do not turn up.

After talking for a couple weeks with a nice sounding couple from here, let down once again. Did all the stuff, talk on phone etc so they had our numbers, turn up at pub, it was agreed that nothing would happen cos they have not played for a year, we just wanted to start a friendship to be going on with. Then they don't show, not even a phone call to say they couldn't make it! This is now the 3rd time in 7 months this has happened. At least its my home town and we hadn't travelled away.

How does everyone else handle these situations, today I was extremely pissed at last night but chalked it up to yet another experience

What bad luck! It's disheartening, but I'm sure you will meet that special couple soon

Its not bad luck just bad manners really. We have met other couples in that time and had a fantastic time with them. Swings and roundabouts I suppose.

things like that used to bother me but i just let it go over my head now, i live not far from chameleons club so if i arrange to meet a guy i always arrange to meet him at a pub close to the club so if they dont turn up i just go in the club, i still have a good night lol

There are talkers and do'ers,normally is the mail starts of with the saying "have you got msn" we give them a wide birth,

Or the type of couple that start asking too much detail you know the type!

you just know there getting off on it,

As for knowing if there going to turn up well thats a lottering, verified is prob the word or do the meets at your house at least then you've not put yourselfs out too much,

just go with your gut feeling !!!

well so far so good, me and pat have had everyone we have arranged to turn up, do so. But we have always had it in our mind that if they dont, so be it, we will have a good afternoon with just ourselves. So if they do turn up then its a bonus. We actually do the phone msn and every other route imaginable. and u cudnt call us no shower's. But the our thing is that we do everything that we feel will put a couple at ease. Perhaps yet we are still to get our no shows. But if it happened am sure Pat and I would just shrug our shoulders and think, well its their loss. We would get on with enjoying ourselves together. But totally agree, I personally think its all down to bad manners, what happened to etiquette, of saying sorry, but cant make it. well we live and learn eh!!!

Luckily we have had so few of those occasions We did have a very strange one like this a weekend or two ago though... and still haven't figured why it went so wrong lol

We would love to post the sequence of messages here that led up to the no show - and the totally unbelievable excuse that followed.

We did think of doing that at the time but we're not sure if it is allowed or considered 'acceptable' to post extracts of Personal Messages on this forum?

Though we would of course take out all references that could possibly identify the couple involved.

Why would you feel the need to post parts of your personal messages on here?

If it did'nt work out for you as it sometimes does'nt then onwards and upwards

Do we need an influx of pms on the forums to try and examine peoples reasons for not meeting?

I know some people dont seem to belive it but this happens to single guys a lot as well.

It may be even worse in numbers but the averages spread it around the larger number of guys so it's not so obvious.

Agreed that if people say, "have you got MSN" or "can you send more pics" sort of rings alarm bells.

If meeting in a pub and people don't show........well, we're Geordies, we can entertain ourselves in pubs......its bred into us from an early age.

But we like to arrange to meet in clubs, that way, we will have fun even if the others don't turn up.

Its only because I know you will do your best to keep it confidential, the people involved may well recognise their messages to you posted on here and even though some of us would be dying to know what the circumstances are its not really fair

I would'nt like to see my messages to anyone posted on these forums without my knowledge,even if they don't post on here a lot of people read the forums without actually posting xx

I have only ever cancelled once due to a serious family problem (someone in A&E) and that was with someone I had met a number of times, and it still did not go down well!

So 'not well' it pissed me off a bit and that was the beginning of the end, though we did meet again, it was never the same.

Sometimes it does happen.

I'd put that under the banner of naming and shaming. At the end of the day, many people have unique typing/posting styles and I would bet my bottom dollar someone would recognise them.

After all, who's to say that the reason a meet goes totally tits up isn't genuine. I've heard stories of people turning up and after actually seeing the people in daylight, have run a mile.

Would the posting of private mail on an open forum not be up for the same kind of abuse as a naming and shaming policy? Of course it would and only an idiot would think differently.

@honeypot, @maddie

You may find this strange enough but we have to agree with you both - you are spot on, some folks do have unique writing styles and could be recognised.

We've no intention of naming and shaming anyone but this story is so funny and bizarre we feel compelled to tell it in some form.

A time line of messages would have been perfect but we think we can get the story over properly without posting any extracts of their messages at all so let's have a go..... This is a bit long but worth the read we think lol

OK this involves a couple we arranged a meet with some months ago, but on that occasion they had to cancel, which they did let us know so hey ho no problems somtimes these things happen.

We had exchanged a couple of messages over the months in between. they have a number of good verifications and seem really nice so after a while we tried them again.

from us

3weeks before meet

gist of our message

We arranged to meet you once before but that time it was canceled, we appreciate we may be on the back burner after all this time but we would love to meet you if you are up for it

gist of reply:

you are not on the 'back burner' we've been busy with family stuff, we would love to meet

gist our reply

great we are free on xxxx 5 is that good for you

several days go by, no reply....

2 weeks before meet we get reply

gist of reply

hi there sexy you gave us a date but Mr x deleted it, could you give it again we'd love to come straight to your place so Mrs x can dress up she loves to wear......

gist of our reply

LOL the date is xxxx 5 our place fine how would you like Ju to dress? She loves to wear ..... or could also dress in ..... like you.

no reply for a few days.....

1 week before meet

we get a really strange message from them...

gist of message

Hi We hope you are well and finding lots of sexy fun, maybe that fun could include us we'd love to meet you two please get in touch if interested so we can arrange a date.

----------- so we reply

1 week ago before meet

have you two completely lost it this time lol, that's normally our trick! Last week we chatted, we were trying to agree a date xxxx 5th you said had deleted the message and forgotten the date so we sent it again You asked if it was OK to come straight here, we said yes and asked how you would like Ju to dress. That's about where we were up to

almost instant reply

gist of reply

Here we go xxxx 15th is good would like to see ju dressed in .......

we reply straight away

gist of reply

Great. Ju dressed up in ..... can be arranged, by the way there isnt a xxxx 15th it's xxxx 5th OK?

No reply

4 days before meet

we decide to finalise the details but notice their profile is partly removed

we'll put our message exactly here because the reply was so bizarre:

Hi xxxxx Is something wrong? Your profile seems to be down. is there something wrong? So could you please let us know, do we have a meet arrranged for Friday or not? Just so we can organise something else if not.

gist of very quick reply from other couple:

we took profile down as we are fed up with time wasters, No we didn't cancel our date with you but we get the impression that's what you want which is a shame as you seem to be one of the few genuine couples on this site and we would have loved to meet you.

we reply almost instantly

gist of reply:

It obvious something happened outside of our arrangement with you to make you remove your profile details, we most certainly don't want to cancel our meet, we're looking forward to it. We simply wanted to confirm the details with you and found your profile partly down. Let's meet as arranged and we can have a laugh over a few drinks and you can tell us all about it.

no reply.

2 days before meet

gist of our message

Hi you didn't reply to last message so we appreciate you may no longer wish to

meet us but we are still free if you want to. Our phone numbers, if you no longer have them, are xxxxx and xxxx

Message sits in inbox, unread.

day of meet

we decided we couldnt be bothered to try organise anything else with anyone so what the hell we text this couple, 'would you still like to meet'?

no reply.

5pm day of meet

we notice our message of two days earlier that has been sitting in their inbox has very recently been read. Still no reply though.

So we have a nice night in together, get a curry a couple bottles of red and chill out

Late that evening we msg the couple

gist of message

'that was so rude of you to just ignore us, guess we will never know why. what a shame we could have had a lot of fun'

morning after

message received from other couple

gist of message

Mr X has not read your message of last night, it would upset him greatly, We didn't ignore you, we sent you replies to your messages but there is something wrong with the site. We txted you but you didnt' get it. We set out to meet you at 6pm but we got a phone call to say Mr x mother had died so we had to turn back. I know you may not believe me but I swear that is the honest truth

Message from us

gist of message

We're very sorry to hear about that and would love to believe you but it seems very strange that you would set out to travel here at 6pm when

a: you picked up our message at 5pm which showed we didn't even know if we had a meet or not anymore.

b: we had never arranged a time for the meet.

c: You don't have our address do you!!!!

No reply.

So there you go, hope that's all ok, no one identified in any way but a very funny story. Yes we should have given up on it days before but we seemed strangely compelled to see it through for some reason lol.

Comments welcome, we can't really work it out at all unless they are just completely nuts.

xxxxx

Seems to be a running theme that anyone with a different point of view to _adchick is branded an idiot.

Anyway, i can see a time in the future where someone registers the domain name crapswingers dot com and uses it as a site to allow naming and shaming. Then the shit will really hit the fan.

I'm not quite sure whether such a site could be considered libelous.

I suppose if ip addresses got stored and anybody did feel they were being genuinely libeled (if that's a real word) they could take action against anyone who was doing anything malicious.

I wouldn't want to be a site admin on it though!

Well my first thought was that it sounded like the left arm did'nt know what the right arm was doing

We may have done what you did and saw it through to the end just for the comedy value....but im far too lazy and would have given up with them long before that point

Then I thought maybe they were just having you on and were just enjoying the game from their end and had no intention of meeting up in the first place

When you read some of the horror stories that people tell on here I suppose it could be possible

But I guess we'll never know what goes on in some peoples heads lol

we have that a lot its like they forget the cnversation then you have to start again, alarm bells would have rang for us very early in that situation, i think a lot of couples come on here and get a buzz messaging potential partners have mind blowing sex then put it on the back burner, never intending to meet, apreciate the effort made in writing out that tale tho x

You guys will not believe this!!

This couple continued talking with us and offered a plausible excuse. So we carried on being friendly, talking on phone and on here and msn. We arranged a re-meet for tonight and yep, you guessed it. They sent us a text message 30 minutes before the meet to say they changed their minds. At least this time we got a message!

This is a couple who also have positive feedback from others on their profile as well.

What is the saying? Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me! This is a couple who are now definately off our xmas list, two weekends wasted when we could have been meeting genuine people

Three weeks ago i drove from Birmingham to Oxford to meet a couple its exactly the same as the first thread phone calls chatted with them both even chatted on msn and saw them both on webcam. After a 70 mile drive i sat in the pub for an hour and it was a no show. I called there number but funny old thing the phone was off. I was gutted as a single guy its hard enough to meet people anyway but for them to say they will meet and just not turn up is unforgivable.

I know we don't have a name & shame policy on this site but surely something can be done to safeguard the inegrity of the genuine swingers on here or else this site will simply get known for it's timewasters.

I agree with the N&S rule if no cost, inconvenience or time has been incurred but someone goes to the trouble of arranging sitters or, even worse, travelled some distance for a meet, only to be stood up without any explanation either immediately afterwards or later, then a reporting facility should be available to deal with the matter. If the same names keep cropping up then something can be done about the couple/individual concerned.

That would depend entirely upon ones definition of what a time waster is ?

Lots seem to think that cash spent defines wether time has been misused ?

We have in the past spent many an hour talking with others through msn etc only to discover, that these people are not what their profiles claim.

No baby sitters arranged, no distance travelled and no cash spent, yet time wasted due to a complete lack of honesty by these 'unintentional deceivers' that choose to keep major preferences a secret.

I wonder wether others would agree that an intentional omission within a profile should be seen as time wasting?

There are lies, and there are white lies! But it really is getting to the stage when the management here have to listen and act accordingly!

If there is a cost involved in peoples' time in keeping some form of list then surely some regulars here could be approached and asked to take on the job of collating and maintaining a list of timewasters. Then, as has already been suggested, the same person(s) reported so many times and they're added to the list, and then that list is published!!

As has also been said, if action isn't taken then people will start voting with their feet and going elsewhere.

Now I've never been on a pay site, but I suspect that there isn't the same timewasters problem there, but why should the bulk of people here, decent and genuine, have to start paying because of a minority of rude and moronic individuals who apparently struggle with the basics of social etiquette!!

Come on management, time to start managing!!

The amount of 'timewasters' doesn't vary from free site to paying site.

Time wasters are timewasters regardless of whether they pay to use the site or not.

In fact, one of the biggest pay sites has an inordinate amount of timewasters on it......... I know, I used to use it and I used to book 3 singles or two couples per night I was meeting, just in the hope that one would turn up.

More often than not, none would turn up.

The trouble is, the term timewaster is subjective and what may be a timewaster to you may not be to me.

As we've had said before, one couple think that a timewaster is someone who chats to them and then disappears, WITHOUT ever arranging a meet. They obviously just decide they don't want to talk any more.

How would that work on a name & shame policy or a list thats collated for admin purposes?

"Well, we got one reply by PM suggesting their thoughts but we're a bit suprised that no one did on forum, considering how much interest and discussion there has been about alleged time-wasting on here.

re: a good example of the events running up to a meet gone wrong we posted above.... would anyone like to suggest what could have been running through this couples minds?

Or is it not only beyond our comprehension lol

Well my first thought was that it sounded like the left arm did'nt know what the right arm was doing

We may have done what you did and saw it through to the end just for the comedy value....but im far too lazy and would have given up with them long before that point

Then I thought maybe they were just having you on and were just enjoying the game from their end and had no intention of meeting up in the first place

When you read some of the horror stories that people tell on here I suppose it could be possible

But I guess we'll never know what goes on in some peoples heads lol"

Also... could it be that only one half of the cpl you were in contact with were really up for it? Perhaps they got to the comp first and deleted certain msgs, then let their partner assume it was you that wasnt staying in touch..... just a thought.

I'm happy to accept that there are timewasters and timewasters.

The ones that I would want 'named and shamed' and publicised are those that arrange a meet then don't turn up, and there's no call to explain or apologise. I get the feeling that those 'no shows' aren't just one-offs but they could well be 'doing the rounds'.

The ones who chat and then disappear are annoyances and pathetics, but I wouldn't suggest that they be listed publicly.

When you consider on balance the majority of people spend far more time talking with others online (1-2-1)than actually meeting, time wasting takes on a whole new dimension.

Of course people are going to, after chatting on msn etc, decide to leave things 'as is'. Many choose simply to sign off and block and delete etc to save them the bother of an explanation, we have all experienced this and on the whole people accept that's the way things work.

We have a problem with those that spend a needless amount of time talking with you, even going as far as starting to arrange a meet, before telling you their 'little secret'.

They leave you feeling that they have been constantly 'testing the water' waiting for the right moment to inform you about that which should have been written clearly on their profile from the outset.

These people have no regard for others and sit stealing personal information that you would, given the opportunity, never share with them. It always surprises me that these people think that it's an acceptable practice to conduct themselves in this deceitful and manipulative manner.

On every occasion that we have been insulted by these sly types, they have chosen to inform us only after they feel that we have (in their selfish minds) made them feel the moment is right to be truthful. In our opinion it's pure cowardice, borne from a fear that by being honest they will miss out !

To put my thoughts into perspective - I would much rather be let down by those that have at the last minute realised that they cannot go through with the arrangements made due to nerves (that I can understand), than talk with these controlling idiots, especially those that are long-term swingers !

Because so much of what we do in this lifestyle depends on Mood ,I,ve always wondered how you can plan to feel horny 2 0r 3 weeks ahead of time. I realize that folk with families and jobs with shifts etc means that they have no choice but to plan well in advance , but it stands to reason that when arrangements are made under the influence of all the juices flowing and hormones pumping , 3 weeks later when you,ve had a crap week at work or a row the day before the mood is gone . The crime here is that these days in general, people just dont have the strength of character anymore to just be honest about it and have the courtesy to make a polite cancellation.

My proposed solution to the name and shame debate:

once an arrangement between two parties has been made for a meet both parties (privately ) must submit to the site support their intention to meet including the time and intended location . Upon receiving confirmation from both parties , that meet is now a verified meet . if subsequently either party fails to meet or fails to contact the other with their excuses , they can in my view be automatically classed as timewasters. This could be an additional service offered via the site, perhaps to gold and silver members as its an additional burden on time and servers etc .Timewaster profiles can then perhaps display a red flag indicating their status to other members and there can also be an appeal process adjudicated by support where decisions can be reversed subject to proof. we can put a man on the moon , surely this shouldnt be beyond our capabilities.

I was on a different site that uses gold stars as feedback. If you are left negative feedback ( ie for a no show)you lost half a star eachtime. It could work like E Bay where you can explain why you got or left that negative comment.

Ive just been given the run around by a single guy, 2nd time in as many weeks, its SOOOO annoying when i get so many offers and i go and pick another loser

happens to us all at some stage we even had a no show at a hotel. But like most people we always have a plan b . For us this means meeting near a club like chams or if not an early meet which then gives us the chance to shoot off to a club.it is frustrating when u have got limited free time and u yourself never let anyone down. Once a meet is agreed we have never let anyone down

Interesting thread. How many times do you get a "couple" only to find out that the wife is "curious" but may need an "accedental" meet to be interested! Yes, I'm sure that works a treat not...NOT.

Interesting also that we are away in Leicester this weekend and have arranged to meet up with a lovely couple we have chatted with on msn and by phone. May only be a social meet, but we're sure they will be there...because mostly you can tell the good people (though it does take practice!)

Single guys can often be a pain in the arse, but we've met decent, down to earth and honest ones. It's the guys pretending to be couples that do our head in.

And what happens when one couple turns up, the other doesn't but the ones that don't file the 'they didn't turn up' report?

Or they both turn up and Mrs A doesn't like Mr B so they don't play and then Mr B files a 'they didn't turn up report'

Or what happens when Mr B turns up, without Mrs B and then Mr B files the 'they didn't turn up' report?

It will never work because too many people could and will abuse the system.

I've been on the other site where there is a star system, I also know one bloke who was stalked by a couple and had his stars wrecked by them.

Ebay is open to many problems, one at the moment being that sellers can't leave buyers negative feedback and that's why buyers are now leaving in droves and ebay profits are plummeting (they not long done a fee hike to try and counteract this)....... just read the forums on ebay and the 'other' site and you will see just how open to abuse a rating system is!

If the site introduced this....... I would be one, among many, who would leave.

We all get let down now and then.. and can be for a thousand reasons. Using common sense and letting your head rule just for five minutes tends to seperate the chaf from the wheat.. Anyone can be let down or let down..

There is no way in a Million years though if we decided to cancel a meet, even at the last minute i'd sit and explain to anyone other than who we were to meet.. If said explaination wasn't good enough.. Tough really!

I guess you are right, a feedback system like that would get abused. I suppose you just have to grin and bear it and hope the next meet is a success... but id still like to twist the bollox off the two guys who let me down ( only til thier eys pop out.. im really very sweet!)

I can't believe that yoguys are moaning about this when you, or should I say most of you, are so quick to jump on and rip to bits any guy that DARES moan about not getting a reply around here.

I've had two meets from this site since joining over a year ago, and I've been tricked and messed about by loads more. Have I started treads about it???????

No.

Get over it.

Thats what us single guys are told time after time on here. I hate timewastes and people who only want to mess with folk. But talking about it will never stop them doning it.

Its the 'no-shows' that make us quite firm about meeting up at a swingers club for a first meet. If a couple find that a bit too 'full-on' then they probably arent our type of couple anyway to be honest! Then if they bottle out - we can still have a good night. And if they show up but the 'spark' isnt there - no harm done either.
