I think people are reading too much into what I did or did not write about the older couple.

It wasn't jthat they were old, that turned off the other patrons of the club.

It was this couples' complete lack of self-awareness, or 'situational' awareness. It's similar to the "this is a sad thing" one experiences when you see a really bad comb-over. Or a spandex outfit that can't smooth out too much cellulite.

This older couple was great to talk with for a few minutes -- but after only a few minutes, they took great offense if you *didn't* want to go to one of the back rooms with them. They took 'no' for an answer, but not without huffing and puffing about how rude us younger kids (30's &40's) were, and how swinging was more open and friendly in 'their day'.

I promise you, this was NOT a pleasant experience for *anybody* at the club that night.

I am all for older couples in the lifestyle. This couple were dorks, regardless of their age. I just think their age accentuated the dorkiness.
