share some swinger sites

[lovinher]

With too much time on my hands I came across this site somehow.
I thought some of you may want to share some of the sites you visit.

I might. But when shared outside of the context of an ongoing discussion, it is liable to be perceived as spam.

I like that website but they haven't updated in a while.

OK well we've been on swingers date club for a couple of years now. We were really skeptical at first but it's been REALLY great. We were new to the whole swing thing and were afraid we would pay for a membership to a site and it would be full of fake profiles. This place is 4 real 4 sure. We just paid for a lifetime membership. We've heard some good stories about lifestyle lounge but have never tried it out. AFF is another but we've not heard great things about it. We just recently(like 10 minutes ago) signed up on swinglifestyle. We'll see how that works out. We live in a small town about 25 miles south of FTW so most matches on swingers date club are 30-50 miles away. It seems there are quite a few more in our town on swinglifestyle. Not sure if this is because there are "fake" profiles or it's just a more popular site in this area. Does anyone have any first hand knowledge on this?

We're north of Dallas (Plano/Richardson) and Swing Lifestyle has plenty of folks in our area. We found a friendly group of folks near our age, down in south Dallas (Duncanville area). There are so many clubs and private parties in the metroplex that anyone can find their niche if they look. Swing Lifestyle groups, was the key to our success. Tiger would say, 30 to 50 miles is about par for this course.

Well Swing Lifestyle has a completely different format than swingers date club. It looks like there are quite a few people on the site but it's a bitch to navigate. We've been IM'd like 4 times but can't figure out how to accept, decline, or even see who it is. We hear the ring and it says something about IM request in the top left corner but we get no pop up. No window. Nothing. We tried this in firefox which is our default browser and in IE as well. There are a few other issues that we're trying to figure out as well. The site's UI just does not seem to be all that user friendly. Lots of unfamiliar symbols too. We're no stranger to technology but it might just take some getting used to.

We use Swing Lifestyle also. But if you are in North Carolina, Wicked Garden is a pretty good site.

A recent malfunction has occurred in the S L S Video Chat facility. Give it a few days and check again.

So is it just a video chat or is text only an option? I have not set up a cam yet. We have one but It's a PITA to set up. I guess I will if I need to but man I'm not looking forward to it. The site seems like it has plenty of members but the UI is lacking to say the least.

[prometheius]

Text only is the option we use, you don't have to use video and we like it that way. On the very rare cases that we cam, we use YIM.

LOL Yeah, Swing Lifestyle doesn't win any awards for technical merit and it has more than its share of "unintended features" and annoyances, but that's ok - it's a tool. The real value is in the people, and the activities of those people. I believe if we can find the folks we enjoy spending time with, the environment just kind of takes care of itself. That applies online too, it's a virtual environment. Swing Lifestyle is a virtual trailer park on the wrong side of the railroad tracks, but we've met some good folks through it. It doesn't take too long to learn how to use an unfriendly tool.

That's a big part of why we never paid for membership there. Somebody is going to come along one of these days with the right functionality and GUI, and we'll follow the herd to the better location. Meanwhile, they get value from our contribution to their database, and we get value from the connections we've made - let's call it even.

As far as IM'ing when some one IM's you it should flash at the top left of the screen and it will have who is IM'ing you and the words "accept or decline". All three of which are clickable. Swing Lifestyle gives you enough time to look at the profile of the persons IM'ing you, then you can either accept or decline. If you do nothing then it will go away in a few minutes.

Not sure if eveyone has this issue our its our computers, but if you dont log out when your done it acts strange and certian features are not there. For example if I just close my browser and try to go to the log in page it still has me logged in but I cant see the left navigation bar. All I can see is the "who's on" and nothing else. So I log off before I leave the site.

I didnt know Swing Lifestyle had sound, interesting. What type of symbols are you having trouble with?

[N8ture Girl]

Full throttle, something just happend to us on Swing Lifestyle that is likely the same thing that you were talking about. The IM thing flashes but there is nothing to click on. It just did it to us a few minutes ago. Sounds like another Swing Lifestyle glitch. Never done that before....

We share the same point of view. We have no problem paying for a membership. We just want to make sure we're not paying for nothing. We'll probably just do one month to see how good all the "paid membership" features are and to just get used to the site in general. It does seem to have quite a few members though. And like you said, that's what we're there for.

Yeah it's a bit buggy for sure. Most of it is just us not being familiar with the site and it's GUI though. I'm just being a big whiny baby. Like the symbols for mild or wild. What is that all about? And the length of the bars associated with that. Why not just use accepted LS terminology? Like soft swap. Or full swap. What about the different color of the default pic. What do those mean? I'm some of it, I'm sure, is just because we are not paying members. Like even though someone sends us an email with a pic, we can't see the pic. It say's that since we are not paying members they can not verify that we're over 21 or that the pic is not sexually explicit so they just block it. Also there are other email restrictions. They monitor emails and will not send an email containing the name of any other site. Like if I put the letters "swingers date club" in the email it won't send. Not sure if I like the galleries thing either. But the verdict is still out. I just don't see the point. On swingers date club you post up your public pics and depending on what you want everyone(except non paying or "trial" members) to see. Trial members can only see the first pic. Most people that don't want their face accessible at all just don't post face pics. Like us. We email those. Then there's those that only want actual members to see face pics. Their first pic(the only one trial members can see) is not a face pic. The rest are whatever they want.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO US!!!!!! Good to know we're not just interwebz retarded. lol Well we've got a few IM requests but could not even see who it was. I hope we did not miss out on some super hot couple that lives down the street. lol

When I have the IM problem and I just click where it says you have the IM and click tab... it'll scroll that small corner and give you an accept/decline as well as show you who it is.
