 Re: Name Dropping
Well you can unzip your suit a little bit, it looks hot!
I guess I'm confused a little by this also. A pay-only site we belong to hosts monthly events at swing clubs in the mid-atlantic area. At all sponsored events there is a "guestlist" posted on the site.
Another example is when we were invited to a semi-regular local hotel party, I chatted a few times with the host and he gave me the screen names of the confirmed couples. It honestly made it easier for us to decide as we quickly discovered the majority of the couples that attended these parties were not going to be compatible with us.
At a house party where a couple that we have played with a few times was hosting, they told us who else they were inviting.
To me, it's just a screenname... it's not like they're saying growgirl and growguy gardener, 123 main street anytown is coming. When I do my searches, we don't look over 50-60 miles away. I assume many other couples do the same. So there's a wealth of couples that we just don't see. If I know ahead of time who is going to be at an event/party, it gives me a chance to just check those profiles out, and perhaps send a "looking forward to meeting you" email to pre-judge interest. Perhaps I'm being bigheaded, but I guess I just assume that everyone wants to at least meet me and wouldn't be offended getting a short, unpushy email from me expressing our interest first.
