From my perspective (Bear), it is really rather simple. This lifestyle is about swinging; couples getting together to play. (Yeah, I know there are the usual number of married bi-females out looking to demonstrate their ability to lick the chrome off a '57 Studebaker, but that's not the end-all and be-all of swinging.) And the operative word here is COUPLES. Yes, I know there are the usual percentage of couples looking for single bi-females (see previous reference to the '57 Studebaker...

), and even the OCCASIONAL single male, but this last is pretty rare. Most swinging couples are looking for other COUPLES to play with, and for the most part do not need any single men around. We've all seen the web sites with the cock shots and all that. Personally, having been a single male myself not so long ago, I am of the opinion that the single guys who come around swingers are those who have a hard time getting laid to start with vis a vis single women, and seem to think that women who are into swinging are easy fucks. Anyone who has been involved in swinging for more than about five minutes knows what b.s. that notion is. Sure, I've been in a swing group or two where the women who were running things starting thinking with their cunts and brought in a lot of single men, which just ruined things for everyone in time (soon enough, they saw the error of their ways...

). Fortunately that does not happen very often. Another problem is with clubs that allow single men in, and don't control them (such as keeping them at the bar, and letting any couple who is interested approach them). What ends up happening is that the guys start cruising the couples, hitting on the ladies, often with bad technique, which pisses off the husbands, with disagreements resulting shortly thereafter. This is why many lifestyle clubs don't allow single men in, or only under certain circumstances. Frankly, I'd be happy if the single guys took a hike. By and large they are not wanted, and those swing couples who do want them, know where to find them (yahoo, AFF or sexyads come to mind).
