  1. Well, the difference between SLS and most (but not all) of the others is that's it's privately run and they make an effort to weed out the fakes. Unlike, say, AFF where it's not only run by a corporation, but they actually post fake profiles/fake pics in an attempt to lure you into a sign-up. Yes, there have been a lot of complaints about how outdated the SLS site is, but given the number of "real" swingers it attracts, plus the fact that you can buy a lifetime membership for a reasonable price (again, unlike others which charge you the same amount for a SINGLE YEAR), it's worth the investment, in our humble opinion.
  2. I think that has a lot to do with it...you need to find what's most popular in your area. We're lifetime members on both SLS and SZC, but there are far fewer local couples on SZC...and most that are also on SLS.
  3. Not sure what the current rates are, but I think it's something like $15 a month/$70 a year...but the cool thing is they offer a lifetime membership for $150 and you never have to pay again. Considering most lifestyle sites cost that much for one year, it's a great deal.
  4. We like this idea and have actually suggested meet/greet organizers provide these (maybe a dozen cards per couple) and make them part of the event. Yes, I know we can print our own, but no one else does this, so I think we'd stick out as even more awkward if we were handing out cards. As for the poster who mentioned Toastmasters - the male half is actually an excellent public speaker/speech giver...it's the one on one (or two on two) he has issues with...but he could speak to a room of 100 with no problem. Odd, huh?
  5. My wife and I have been exploring the LS for about a year now...we spent most of the first year trying to meet couples one-on-one (or I guess, two-on-two), and while we did meet some nice people, we also found that it was very hard to find people we were compatible with. So several months ago, even though we're not club/party people otherwise, we decided to start going to some of the local meet & greets and LS clubs in our area. We've found this a MUCH better way to meet new people, but because we're new to the scene and not really the "party" types otherwise, we generally wait for others to approach us, rather than introduce ourselves. Occassionally we'll see a couple we recognize (from pics) online and introduce ourselves, but the majority of the time we just wait for people to come to us. While we have met some great people, we're worried that others may think we're standoffish or not interested. Perhaps more importantly, when we do get into a conversation with a couple we're interested in, we're never sure what to say/where to take the dialogue to show them that we're "into" them. We usually wind up saying "Nice meeting you" to the couples we're not interested in, and something a little more overt like "Great meeting you...hope to get to chat again/see you later in the evening" to couples we ARE intrested in, which we guess might sound like a disinterested comment to some. So while I'm sure there have been other threads to address this, we were wondering if anyone could give advice (if you're a "quieter" couple, we'd love to hear how you've dealt with things) on the best ways to both initiate conversations and (more importantly) let a couple know your interested without coming off as sexually aggressive. Thanks in advance!
  6. I think the fact that he's married but claiming he's single would be a "deal breaker" more than any of the other factors you've listed...and I also think the "due to circumstances...we are no longer interested" is the perfect reply in this situation.
  7. The majority of people we've met in real life has been thought SwingLifeStyle. We've made some contacts on AFF, but for every "real" profile on there, there seems to be about two dozen fake ones. We'd on SDC (SwingersDateClub), but not too many people in our area...same for LoveVoodoo and Swingular. Sites like Fling and XXXMatch are total rip-offs...I would avoid those two at all costs.
  8. Well said Julie! Male half here: Decided just to "go for it" when our sexual activity had hit a brick wall. Wife was (and still is, in many ways) extremely conservative - but little did I know she would enjoy this as much as I hoped she would. We originally thought that, at best, we'd either just watch another couple or maybe soft swap - and we wound up deciding we were open to it all! As long as you're both secure in your relationship, communicate, and make this 100% about HER pleasure (chances are she'll return the favor to you) - this can be a GREAT enhancement to your relationship. However, if you just see this as a chance to fuck other people (and there ARE lifestyle people who are in this to do that), it can be very damaging to a marriage/long term relationship...so make sure you know WHY you're doing this before trying it out! If you see it as an extension of you and your partner's love life, then it can be a lot of fun!
  9. I guess we qualify as "occasional"...we'd love to be full-time, but we get the "run around" from so many people that we wind up meeting "real" people only every now and then!
