They kept looking at us and smiling and finally after about 10 minutes the husband motions me over. So I went over to them and he was like, I think we "know" you two. At first I played it off like I wasn't sure what he was talking about and then he mentioned something in one of our pictures on a site, that nobody else would have known and well it has been great since then.

I never have been able to just ask someone like that, but I sure was glad that he did...

I think I posted this somewhere (in my blog if nowhere else). I was at the chiropractors office one day this summer and this lady walked in the door and when she saw me she smiled at me like she knew me. She kept looking at me and eventually sat down on the sofa where I was sitting (but on the opposite end). She was there with an older gentleman (that appeared to possibly be her father). So as we are sitting there she slides me a note that says "are you a member of Swing Lifestyle?". I think I turned 30 shades of red when I nodded yes. Then she handed me the note again with her username on it, and it turned out that she was the female half of a couple that we had just been emailing that weekend. Nothing ever panned out of it. I guess that's the downside to having your faces plastered on your profile... they KNOW you, but you may not know them.

Yea that is for sure. Since we have our face pics in our public gallery they are there for all to see. We have been out a number of times to eat dinner at one of our steak houses here locally and then received emails from one of the ad sites where couples saw us and then sent us a message. Wish we could see them too

We don't have our faces on our public profiles, but as Julie can probably attest, if meeting us, you know who we are. Now, not to get side tracked on the thread topic. My playdar went off Friday after sitting next to an attractive woman on the flight from Indianapolis. Then our conversation opened up a dozen avenues to confirm. As we were headed to Vegas, were staying at the same hotel, she was meeting her "best friends" for a weekend of partying, well, I wish that I could have been a little more informative to her before the flight landed. But, alas, sitting on her other side was one of my wife's co-workers. I had to be VERY careful that he never suspected a thing! You have to understand that our flights got screwed up and L was flying 1.5 hours behind me on a different flight. I didn't have to be careful because I was worried about L, but that rumors might have gotten started between her co-workers.

Oh yes. There's a couple new to our local theatre group that we've wondered about. His necklace, her plunging necklines... just something. Then today, she walks in with a couple that I know have an open marriage (because the open marriage husband had told someone else that), and I later saw the two couples doing the hug goodbye thing.... hmmmm... Then, later, she referred to her and her husband as "newbies" to the area... hmmmm.....

Not our type, so I'm not planning to broach the subject, but hmmmm......

Actually, as I told your wife at dinner during the Meetup. Your pictures don't do either of you justice and I wouldn't have recognized you from them.

[ncmd_couple]

Haha, I thought you recognized us from the grey in my beard.... I don't know what to do about the pics, they are what they are...

You must have the "silent" function. My wife's playdar is as accurate as most GPS units; I think mine needs new batteries.

Susan here-- This couple were people we met outside of the Lifestyle due to common interests. One day she said," Some people are just so limited, so 'vanilla'," and I just looked and smiled and said,"Do tell," and she did. That night we're in bed fucking each others husbands. They've been great and we still see them after a year of Play.

However, I doubt that lightning would ever strike twice.

"PLAYDAR" that is sweet. Finally a name for it. We have came across this phenomenon as well in local bars.

OMG this happened to me today!

I was training a new person at my work (she's probably mid 50's, just normal looking, nice lady). We were talking about macaws and whether they truly mate "for life" and she said "I really feel that humans were not meant to be monogamous." She went on about marriage being a social construct for financial and child rearing, etc.

The way she was talking just made me want to ask "Are you a swinger?" I've never had a playdar so ... maybe I'm developing one? LOL (Of course, I didn't ask!)
