"We have responded to few meetings not just " same day". It appears that a few never actually take place. Of course, we may not always be what people are looking for. We had a party invite the other day, which we excepted .Another, younger couple then contacted the organizer and said they would go but we were " too old". Guess what? We were then declined. We are going to organize a SAGA party lol " Now thats bang out of order! We like to see who else is going to a party, but only so we can have a look at their profile, check out what they are into etc, and get an idea about whether or not we might be potential playmates. We might even send a "hi, see you at the party" kind of message, just so they can look at our profile too, that way when we get there its easier to get chatting as we have already "broken the ice" so to speak.  | |||
"oh thats bad , we looked at the posters advertisment and thought yaaay but then seen it was monday and thought oh poo kids are back. but we have responded to adverts in the meet section and had some greta meets so it does work M hunni and if it wasnt for kidies back on monday we would have responded ourselves xxxx "Well, thats encouraging, nice to here that others have had some success from this sort of thing. And yes, we knew Monday might be a bit awkward, but we thought we'd try it and see where it goes. And you can be sure that you guys will be getting a message if we ever get oue diaries to match with yours lol XXX | |||

"Handy I suppose for people who are into quick meets but I prefer to get to know people first so have never used them, personally." We like to make friends too, and have never played with anyone we wouldnt want to be friends with. if we meet someone, there's absolutely no garauntee of anything happening unless we all hit it off, we just knew we would be able to play on Monday so thought we would try to get a meet. | |||
"We've put a few 'meet today' requests in and never had any luck, it seems that we live too far away for anything. Ok, we live out in the sticks (Lampeter)look on google....lol, but, when you look at their profile, it says that they can travel and accomodate, why say you can travel when clearly you don't. We have done everything people tell us to get a meet, ie, go to socials, pop in chat, make friends etc. not been to clubs yet but that is when we feel more comfortable. If there are any views on this, advice will be appreciated." Perhaps just maybe the distance isn't the problem, I know that distance within reason (let's say 100 miles one way) wouldn't be an issue for us, as we can testify that people have travelled this far or further to meet us, however there would definatley have to be certain criteria met (veri's, face pics, maybe a phone chat) We've been to socials to, and we, unlike others would not see them as a "set in stone" guarantee that anyone we met there would be a suitable meet, even if they appeared to be so at the aforementioned social. Word of mouth is rife on a site such as this, sometimes it has a positive effect, sometimes the contrary, it seems to work for us, we'll leave you with an example penned by a mate of ours called Oscar "There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about" | |||

"100 miles?! Jesus wept. "That would be 200 mile round trip, see I is good at maffs | |||

"Hey guys, From recent personal experience we wont bother putting another meet on for a while, we had some lovely messages from people but also some exceptionally odd requests and a few stalkers who blatantly do not read our profiles. When we did arrange something they were timewasters! We prefer to chat to people in the chatroom or via email to arrange meets and love the social where you can check people out in the flesh and decide on whether we would meet them again...Ali xx "Sorry to hear of your experiences, I guess when you put yourselves out there, there is a chance that you will get the good, the bad, and the ugly lol! So far, we have had a fair few messages of guys who dont read our profile (nothing new there!) and its not looking good for tomorrow, but, like the saying goes, nothing ventured, nothing gained! | |||

"Well, we had a rush of interest this morning, but unfortunately it all seems to have dried up, I guess we will have to entertain ourselves lol! "Shame Peachy is out of action  | |||

"ok, we can attend socials/parties and clubs, but our main point is that we don't live in a city or town where fellow swingers live, where we can easily meet up for drinks or other. The meet today facility is ok, never had any response from our listings, as we have found that not many people really want to travel all the way to us. I can hear everyone saying 'move to Swansea, Cardiff, Newport etc',but, Nice has a job and took him ages to get it and can't afford to up and go just for the lifestyle we have chosen." ive met loads of cpls from down your way | |||
