I'm not sure this is going to go well, and that's not me having a pop, its just an observation.

It will probably turn into a bit of a sausage-fest, and couples will pull out because of that.

Tie that in with the OP not being well known, and it has "epic fail" written all over it.

Solution?

You could try mailing couples and a few selected singles with an invite... chances are though that most will take a look and bin it, most prefer to party with people they know, especially the person doing the inviting.

Better would be to hit a few socials, build up a rep and invite those you get along with, but that takes time.

It appears not dude.

I'll be honest, as this is your third thread where you try to organise a house party, and they have all bombed, maybe you should try another approach?

Maybe if you got nothing good to say then you shouldn't say anything.

It's a party. If your not interested in attending then just move on.

Shame about your party. Although I'm surprised no one has told you to attend a 'social' instead. It's the usuall stock answer for single men in the Wales Forums!!

Reading your post trail by clicking the green tick, see you have been trying to organise a party for a while now and don't seem to pull it off, suggestion, check what's going wrong or give up.

Not intended to be a pop or negative.

In the past when I have organised small gatherings, I have contacted people I know personally and between us was easier to suggest or invite females/couples.

Lol. Actually it would have been my 3rd house party.

And I work away for 2/3 months at a time. So can't attend every social.

Now I have called it off cause I am in Dublin for the weekend.

Just wish I could delete the thread

It will then stop every one making stupid shit comments.

I think it all comes down to its not what you do or how you try to arrange something it's a case of.... its not what you know but who you know. If you are part of a clique you have the upper hand when it comes to parties. Personally I prefer to see a party invite like this one and meet new people as opposed to going to one and meeting the same people time and time again. Im not having a go but that has always been the case sadly. Good on you for trying to arrange something better luck next time

Give the guy a break. He's actually having a go. If people don't want to attend don't. You shot him down so he shoots you down.

Yet people still feel the need to get holier than thou and try to spread wisdom. As you all say, its a forum for everyone and it works both ways. So many smart ass comments littered on this forum and sly digs. Granted some threads are a complete joke...

Its got nothing to do with "cliques" or "trolling the forums", it's about trying to help others.

From his other posts, I could see he was having difficulty, and offered advice.

As you can see, other experienced swingers agreed, but he obviously thought he knew better, and decided to throw his teddy out the pram.

Or maybe, some of us have been here long enough to realise that certain things are not going to go well, and so offer advice.

If you read my first post, you will see that I offered alternatives, I didn't just shoot the guy down.

He decided to get pissy about it, and other very well respected and experienced swingers pointed out that he had been offered good advice.

Advice is given in the forums on a miriad of subjects every day, and you can bet that some of the recipients aren't overly happy with some of the responses, and in turn you can be sure that people will judge them on how they react to that.

In this particular case, I feel the OP has done himself no favours at all.

The first five post were off people willing to meet and attend. Yet you still commented and persisted that it was not the right approach. Advice is great granted , but you never gave him the chance or for better Word allowed him to advertise himself.

He never got pissy. You got told. Simple as that. Now it seems you're almost out to embarrass him. And what is respect amongst the unknown? Nothing. Its just the circle in your head you deem better than others. It seems you did no favours looking from the outside in.

Not only do you continously drum up back up from your mates " other experienced swingers" while this chap wants to do it his way, but you add insult to insult by the following statement " he obviously thought he knew better"

This little comment puts you in the bad light and not the op. - yet again.

There were those that wanted this party to go ahead and were happy to say yes to it, and from what i could see " experienced swingers" said yes to an invite. What a pity that you chose to continue to allow this thread to turn negative so quickly.

The op should be encouraged to offer his home for a party again, instead of being buffeted from pillar to post by being assertive.

Such a shame to read back over this one.

Funny, didn't see you or any of the other people posting here saying "yes" to attending the "Non Party" after all the Op went to Ireland !!!

You rattle on about supporting the Op etc etc, when did you last organise ANYTHING for Swingers ? We have held dozens of socials here in Wales and the other person you are having a pop at organises one of the biggest events ever seen on Fab with a guest list of over 200 and not only does he spend a lot of free time doing this he also sorts out all the accom, monies, security etc. We think maybe you "Forum Trolls" need to get to know people before you go around making sweeping statements about those whom you have either never met or don't know!!

Rant over!!

As stated in an earlier post, when did you last organise anything for Fabsters?

You really should get to know people before you make broad sweeping statements as the person to whom you refer spends a lot of his spare time organising events, one of them being the biggest on Fab!!! We organised socials and house parties and the advice is not only sound but genuine and if taken in the correct context, very helpful. The Op got a pissy on and threw his teddy out of the pram, and that is who's fault ?

Get to know people and spend some time talking to them before putting them down and maybe then you can see both sides of the coin. At least you have been on the site for a while and have an idea of whats going on unlike other people on here posting derogatory comments who have only been on site a few weeks.

What has 'organising anything for other Fabbers' got to do with commenting on a thread?? The first few posts were positive comments regarding the party. The first putdown I can see are the words 'epic fail' from someone who hadn't put his name down And as for people who haven't been on the site long enough to comment, what a cheek. Some of us may have newish profiles but that doesn't mean we haven't been here before.

It's no wonder that hardly anyone outside the usual Wales Forum clique post on these Threads. It anyone dares have a different oppinion then they get slated!

The op did not give the tread enough time to gauge whether there was enough interest or not instead, when advice had been given he decided to throw a hissy fit and declare the party was off. This only re-enforces the observations that “epic fail” was spot on. Instead of the op responding in a civil manner or not responding at all he declares.

“Party cancelled. Going to Ireland for the weekend instead. Come on Wales.” I don’t know about anyone else but tickets for the match are like hen’s teeth and a trip to Ireland would need some planning. So was there any real intention to host a party? Then people start patting the guy on his back for letting people down.

It was refreshing however to see the standard answer off certain people “isn’t this the wrong place to post this” is not here.

As for the “This thread, the forum and the site are utter shite lately” and “you missed out chat room, heres hoping for a change in all areas sooner rather than later”

I don’t know the answer, maybe people are more cautious about what they say and do here now maybe it’s because they have seen people for who they are and are keeping their distance, maybe it’s because they don’t feel safe because of the press intrusion, maybe it’s because people don’t spend much time here or feel they cannot contribute to the site for fear of reprisal. Much like the op and his parties if people want to put effort into the site and its members then it might not be such a “shite” place.

"What has 'organising anything for other Fabbers' got to do with commenting on a thread?? The first few posts were positive comments regarding the party. The first putdown I can see are the words 'epic fail' from someone who hadn't put his name down And as for people who haven't been on the site long enough to comment, what a cheek. Some of us may have newish profiles but that doesn't mean we haven't been here before.

It's no wonder that hardly anyone outside the usual Wales Forum clique post on these Threads. It anyone dares have a different oppinion then they get slated! "

INDEED!

"Or maybe, some of us have been here long enough to realise that certain things are not going to go well, and so offer advice.

If you read my first post, you will see that I offered alternatives, I didn't just shoot the guy down.

He decided to get pissy about it, and other very well respected and experienced swingers pointed out that he had been offered good advice.

Advice is given in the forums on a miriad of subjects every day, and you can bet that some of the recipients aren't overly happy with some of the responses, and in turn you can be sure that people will judge them on how they react to that.

In this particular case, I feel the OP has done himself no favours at all.

The first five post were off people willing to meet and attend. Yet you still commented and persisted that it was not the right approach. Advice is great granted , but you never gave him the chance or for better Word allowed him to advertise himself.

He never got pissy. You got told. Simple as that. Now it seems you're almost out to embarrass him. And what is respect amongst the unknown? Nothing. Its just the circle in your head you deem better than others. It seems you did no favours looking from the outside in.

As stated in an earlier post, when did you last organise anything for Fabsters?

You really should get to know people before you make broad sweeping statements as the person to whom you refer spends a lot of his spare time organising events, one of them being the biggest on Fab!!! We organised socials and house parties and the advice is not only sound but genuine and if taken in the correct context, very helpful. The Op got a pissy on and threw his teddy out of the pram, and that is who's fault ?

Get to know people and spend some time talking to them before putting them down and maybe then you can see both sides of the coin. At least you have been on the site for a while and have an idea of whats going on unlike other people on here posting derogatory comments who have only been on site a few weeks.

It seems to me that people can not wait to be outraged on here, even in defence of absolute bullshit.

For the people on here that know me I will add this.

I work away for 2/3 months at a time. And my return date is not till 17th feb.

And I had the opportunity to take someone's place on the trip to Ireland as he had to drop out due to family bereavement.

So yes I got a ticket for the game. Plane ticket and a hotel room.

Go Friday and return Sunday.

Not going to comment on anything else.

"This thread, the forum and the site are utter shite lately. "

Couldn't agree more Jade, there is a terrible nasty attitude on Fab lately, most evident in responses to threads like these and of course like Curvy said in the Chat Room......

The initial "outrage" was all over the fact that the op got pissy and stroppy when offered advice and as per usual the normal crowd are found fanning the flames. We have vindicated Sthwales and for anyone who dosnt know, he is mr organiser, if you want to know how to hold an event advice from this friendly and genuine couple would be perilously ignored.

Im not going to moan or dictate about this thread, as i can see both sides of the story, but i would like to point out that the site does offer a meet's section that you are able to post that you are having a party.

Maybe anyone wanting to host an event may want to do it there in the future to reduce any chance of this sort if thread happening ?
