Hi Everybody,
I never understood some things I've read in peoples profiles till this afternoon. "No picture, no reply" seemed a little harsh. Physical appearance isn't that important to us, we figured, and besides we met a GREAT couple who just needed to be extremely discreet because of his profession.
"Don't show up looking like you just rebuilt an engine" is one that popped up a couple of times. We giggled about that one too. Who could possibly be so goofy as to show up like THAT?
Well, this afternoon we found out why those things make it into profiles. The guy showed up in a ratty t-shirt, faded torn jeans, and a dirty baseball cap. The teeth he had were gray fading to black. He also had one eye that was cloudy and pointed in a different direction. All of this we probably could have overcome, but it got worse. When we sat down to eat he started talking about his sexual exploits and preferences....loudly....in a Ryans....just as the Sunday church crowd was rolling in. There was no changing the subject with him. He couldn't seem to take the hint that raunchy sex talk just wasn't appropriate for the setting. On the rare and brief moments that I could get him to talk about something other than sex he didn't have much to say that the average elementary school kid couldn't come up with.
The lady was a whole different subject. She had the same dental nightmare on display. Her clothing was a little less inappropriate but still not really attractive. She was deaf from birth. I have no problem with that in itself, but she seemed to have never learned the normal coping methods most deaf people pick up. I tried my luck selling cars a few years ago and I developed a large deaf customer base. The deaf people I was selling cars to were all pretty good lip readers if I spoke slowly and clearly. This lady was not. She used sign language with her husband. I know a little sign language but she was so sloppy in her signing I couldn't follow it for the most part. In short, there was just no way to communicate with her.
After bolting lunch it was "Oh gee, Look at the time. Gottagonicemeetingyou." I'll never give the fish eye to a profile that has those lines in it again.
Oh yeah, Just as a super special bonus we found out that they're going to the same house party we're attending next weekend.
Oh joy.
Sorry y'all, I just felt the need to vent. Surrender

I so sympathize.

We're not real picky - selective, yes; picky, no. We're not Brad and Angelina, never have been, never will be, and don't expect or want our swing partners to look perfect, either.

But every now and then we run into a couple where it's hard to imagine ANYONE doing them. I find myself leaving those meetings totally indignant, thinking, "People like that should not be allowed to inflict themselves on unsuspecting swingers - there oughta be some kinda law against that." Usually it's a couple with no pictures, but sometimes they have deceptive pictures.

Cleanliness is a HUGE issue for us; and if someone doesn't bother to clean up before meeting us, there's no way in hell any naked part of my body will ever be close enough for them to touch. Or any clothed part, for that matter.

There are some out there like this in every community and yet somehow they keep popping up at parties and clubs...go figure....

Rotflmao!!
So sorry to laugh but that was really funny!!

[ohash01]

Yeah...that's just not cool. I shower and do my hair and put on makeup and put on clean clothes before I go out to dinner with J...and I've been with him for 3 years and no longer need to make first impressions.

And maybe I'm the only one who feels that way, but when you're all clean and pretty don't you just feel like the sexiest most attractive person on the planet, even if you aren't?

[ShellyM]

Oh man, forgive me but I find this a hoot. I am shocked that they showed up dressed like that. We actually met a lady on sls who is the same way as far as talking about sex all of the time. Now, I'm as sexual as the next girl....but I do talk about other things! I tried to talk "girl talk" with this chick, and she wasn't having it. I would say something like "hey girl, how was your day today?" and she would literally say "I'm thinking about getting a rim job, mmmmmmm" and it always ended with mmmmmmmmm....lol
Yeah, some people are a trip.

[Chicup]

All of this we probably could have overcome

Nope you're not. After I get out of the shower, and I'm all oiled up smelling so good. I feel so darn sexy.

Yeah, that whole "no pictures, no reply" thing becomes pretty relevent after an experience like yours. We've had couples write us and express interest, we opened private pics, then they opened private pics and Jacked up grills, lazy eyes, pictures that show that the person couldn't possibly be the age they have on their profile.....

Yep, now you just have a good war story to tell when you're just hanging out with swinger friends.

Regarding the loud part, we recently attended a club event where there was a couple that was very loud and raunchy in the hospitality room and then also in the group play room. They managed to ruin it for almost everyone.

How do clubs typically handle that sort of thing?

[Spoomonkey]

You have to admit, that is such a better story than "we just didn't click."



At least you didn't waste a trip to Ryan's on a couple that was simply dull and unremarkable.

OMG... Just really. OMG!!!

I just can't look beyond badly dressed or black teeth. There is NO excuse to meet someone like that. None!

We've been on various boards striking conversations (chat) for the past 1+ year. Initially we were very apprehensive about giving our photographs on the net. Later we did start giving our photographs and and receiving theirs before they wanted to start chatting. We must have given out ours to around 5-6 couples and then had to stop. Know why? We received our own photograph back from someone on the one of the other boards who wanted to chat. Anyone saying No Snap No Chat can stay without chatting with us. Giving out photographs on the net days are over for us.

We had a similiar experience - talked on the net for a long time w/a single male, all pics of him very hot (but none smiling). When we went to meet him at a dance club, hubby saw him first, and was just smiling to himself when he saw him. He just KNEW I was going to have an issue. He came over to us started talking and I just had to keep my poker face on. It really shocked us, as this man is a professional, but his teeth...

Needless to say, nothing happened, nothing will. I guess I'm phobic about teeth. Good teeth - good health?

Which brought us to our latest question. Do you state in your profile that you require white teeth/full set??? Otherwise, how do you ask? I mean honestly, do you ask for smiling pictures?
