The place we regularly go to the the only way for a single to meet someone is for a couple to approach them. House rules.

 

Other places have different rules where the singles can roam more.

 

And in a "normal" place he may get more than he is wanting?

If we are at a social/club that allows single men and I happen to see someone who piques my interest, then we will approach them.

 

We have also been contacted by single men from ads that we have placed and if we like what they had to say, have met and played with them. As well as, contacting single men through ad sites.

 

So...either way works for us.

We usually approach a single male together. Although we have had single males approach us on a site and we have met with them. So I guess I would have to say either way is ok with us.

I am a single guy and I always wait for a couple to approach me. There is such a negative stigma that surrounds the "single guy" that I don't want to me lumped into the kettle. Many couples have simply told me I would never be anything but a "lap dog" but I've had to grow a thick skin and I can understand some of their points of view. There are so many guys out there just wanting to get laid. And although it sounds like a line, I just really want to hang with other people of like minds. If something else comes of it, fine. If not, no biggie.

Are you talking about the initial meeting (ie. who contacts who first via an ad or whatnot), meeting at a swing club, Or who initiates things once you are together?

I'm talking about the initial meeting. My ex-girlfriend/swing partner and I would always contact singles first (men or women). I was wondering if other couples took the initiative now that swinging has moved to the internet or if they waited for single men to contact them.

My biggest issue is I don't want to be treated like "just another piece of meat". I have feelings too.

I would prefer the couple approach me. I'd feel weird approaching them as a single guy. They know what they want and I believe its easier that way.

We would prefer to do the approaching, but I think that if the right single approached us, things wouldn't be out of the question. It has a lot to do with his or her actions. As long as there is respect, I am ok with them approaching us.

Well, I guess this goes back to the "are you lucky' thread, but I got lucky. I meet the couple that I see in a off premise bar that I never had much luck in (any more luck then I have in regular clus meeting women). I was able to introduce myself as I had seen them on Yahoo and recognised them from thier profile. I walked up and said hi and explained how I knew them. Fortunately, I was lucky enough that the like me and we have been together ever since. I am working to meet more people, and I think that being bi may come in handy as I am seeing more and more couples that are accepting it and advertising it. Maybe puritan America is starting to turn the corner.

 

Now, single women, that's tougher. :lol:

P.S I have been seeing them for 2 years and I love them to death (the l word is not bad in this context right?) :eek: Now, maybe I can talk them into a poly relationship. :claps:

So far I have only been approached. To date, I haven't had the nerve to approach a couple "that way". Now I've talked to couples that ultimately I didn't swing with. Was that an "approach"? I think I'm confused... :confused:

 

Now if I saw Roxy in a room, I would HAVE to approach her! :eek:

 

 

Oh, if only...

I have been on both sides of this situation, I've been approached, as well as the approach-ee. In the case of me being the one who breaks the ice, I usually try to find some common thread of interest totally outside of a sexual reference to begin conversation. I've found that this usually doesn't produce the "defensive" reaction that a sexual comment would. It also gives you time to size up who they are, what they want, their likes and dislikes and you may find out before you actually get naked with them that you really may not want to get naked with them.

 

On the other hand, if I'm approached about swinging, I assume that the couple/person doing the asking is already interested to some degree and I'll answer any questions they have regarding sex or swinging immediately. It does not always lead to a romp in the bed, but then sex isn't the end-all to life now is it? What am I saying!!! Of Course It Is!!!! LOL :slam"

On personal ads sites I email a reply to ads asking for single men. At a club I let the Cpls aproach me.

I realize that this is an old thread, but the question is still valid, so here goes...

 

I've never contacted a couple as a single male, and unless I knew that they were looking for single males, and that we had some specific common interests (in or out of the bedroom) I doubt I ever would. There are a couple reasons for that;

 

1) I figure most couples know what they're looking for. My profile is pretty descriptive, and my pics are current. If I'm "it" I'll hear from them...if not, why bother?

 

2) I don't believe in "canned" intros/responses, and my time to pursue others is limited. If it takes as much time to write a note to a couple on a swingers website as it does to a single female on a vanilla site, I'd rather spend it doing something that's likely to result in an actual meeting, not a request for a picture of my dick.

 

3) Couples who are looking for single males usually aren't looking for one all the time...it seems to be more of an "occasional" thing. I don't want to putz around for 3 months waiting for them to "get in the mood" again.

 

4) "Double the people" I would be meeting equals double the potential drama, and double the chances that one of them isn't going to be comfortable with me. Again, if they take the first step, I at least know I'm past the first hurdle.

 

Whether I would approach a couple at a swing club is a moot point, since, from what I've observed of the single males and the women they seem to attract at the clubs, I would never attend one alone.

It would not matter to us who made the first move.

 

I like a man who is not afraid to come up and introduce himself to Mr LM and me.

It seems safer to approch the men first. We feel like we are more in control that way.

      We are heading to Cuba on May 4th and will be staying at a non-lifestyle resort. As we enjoy getting together with other couples or inviting another guy to join us for some threesome fun, we are wondering if anyone has had any luck in attracting or getting the attention of potential interested play partners at non-LS resorts?
       
      If so, does anyone have any suggestions/tips/tricks that could help us in seeing if there are other people in the LS like us that may be willing to explore the possibility of some adult fun during our stay? After all, we are sure that we are not the only LS people that frequent non-LS resorts from time-to-time.
       
      Thanks and all the best to all Swingersboard members.

      Ok... this is a little odd but have had a "thing" for hubby's boss for about a year and a half now.
       
      And hubby is about to leave his job for another one...
       
      Hubby is all ok with me being with other men (as long as it won't screw up his career and... taking for granted he gets to have a little fun too.) So... is it like... OK after hubby quites and ilonger in a professional type relationship with this person??
       
      BETTER question.. I don't even know if he's into this, though I do catch him staring a lot....
       
      How do you tell someone... hey I just want to have a little fun with you?! If you are not sure what they are into or have no clue as to how to breech the subject...
       
      Though part of me is afraid to pursue this at all... what if he were to react badly... or something... yeesh I don't know.

      What do you use for an opening email to people you are interested in online?
       
      My goto is something like...
       
      'Hey read your profile and thought it was interesting!
       
      We are a friendly, outgoing professional couple having fun with this.
       
      Take a look at our profile and let us know if there is any interest.
       
      Good luck on here, and in the life style'
       
       
      What do you think?
       
      What do you use?
       
      What have you found successful that people like?

      We are almost a year into a committed relationship with plans to get married. We live in different cities and visit each other almost every weekend. She's 28 and I'm 27. We've got an incredible sexlife that just seems to be getting deeper, more meaningful, and hotter with time. A few months ago, we decided to do something spontaneous and visited a swingers club where she ended up getting a body shot licked off her topless on the bar by the coatcheck girl. We both were super turned on by this encounter and started talking about the idea of playing... End of february we ended spending the night at a couple's place after a dinner party where all four of us played in bed together. We had agreed that we would not full swap, saving that kind of intimacy just for us to share with each other.
       
      Well... last weekend we got talking about bringing a man she finds attractive over to her place this weekend for a night of fun as a birthday gift for her. She is incredibly turned by the thought of having me and another man take her on together... and I'm loving the idea too... Somehow we got onto how hot it would be if she had us both... all the way... all night long. This is a revision to our "no swapping" thing from before. Now we want to do it. We've talked about the consequences and how we feel about it a lot, role played it in bed, and are excited about it. Now we want to decide on moving ahead with it. I'm wondering if there's something an experienced swinger couple might have us consider about this before we move ahead, bearing in mind the following:
       
      - this is about us, and the whole purpose of it is for it to turn us on
       
      - this isn't an attempt to spice up a lame sex life... we just have heard and think if done right that it can be incredibly hot
       
      - the "invitee" works in her company but in a different department... they do occasionally see each other at work lunches and events with other people but not often
       
      - I've met him at one of her work functions before and he knows how committed we are... i also happen to think he's a genuinely nice guy and will be respectful in bed with us... mostly with her seeing as I'm not looking for a bi-sexual experience
       
      - we've agreed that this is our space now, so any conversations she has with him after are to be shared with me
       
      - we've discussed rules and how to handle things if he should he develop feelings for her after
       
      - we've decided that she'll talk to him this week at lunch and lay the whole thing out for him to decide on...rules and all... since she's caught him checking her out a few times already, we don't see him turning the opportunity down.
       
      - she is away from work for a week after this night of fun allowing for a cool off period
       
      - we've talked about the possibility of me becoming jealous... and I'm feeling good about this not being a big cause for concern. I think seeing her in action with him might actually quell all the thoughts i have about her previous sex life with other men - these thoughts have actually started turning me on recently... i don't know why really... they used to make me jealous with my previous girlfriends...I think i'm getting to the source of where my jealousy was really stemming from.
       
      - we've talked about the possibility of her feeling dirty afterwards... she doesn't see this as a concern... her primary concern is that I'm ok with him being inside of her
       
      - we've talked about ways of making the encounter safe
       
      The biggest thing we've narrowed it down to is how she and him will have to handle themselves after this night given they work in proximity and also given that she and I won't be living in the same city until she moves to be with me in 4 months.
       
      Do you think we've done our due diligence? Are we silly to be doing this given that we're only late twenties and not even married yet? Are we missing details? Should we maybe just pillow talk for a few more months and see what we think then? We're confident that we are adult about all our decisions regarding this.. marriage included... we would like to know if you're seeing something here that we might've missed.
       
      ...your advice would be very much appreciated.
       
      Thanks.

      I was just replying to LM's old thread about lowering your standards and it got me to thinking about the various times we've met people and talked with them only to decide they just weren't our cup of tea. There have been a couple of times where we either did (or would have) given them a second chance... mainly because we got that feeling of "we're being too picky", so we met with them again and again there were just things we couldn't get past. For example....
      - one couple has an issue with discretion - they like to name names
      - another couple, the first time we met them the guy talked so much about himself and the places they go, etc that we thought they were full of themselves.
       
      In both of those cases, we tried again only to run right back into the same walls that knocked us out the first time. It has left me wondering if it's worthwhile to even give a second chance and thinking we should just trust our guts on first impressions.
       
      That said, there was one couple we would have liked to have given a second chance (after he got way too drunk at our first meeting) but we approached it badly and lost that chance... and it may have been a good thing, but we'll never know.
       
      So do you ever give second chances to people after you meet them the first time and your gut instinct says "it's not gonna be worth it".?
