  1. yeah I can see how reminding a guy to use his "inside voice" could really ruin the mood....when you're a spectator..SHUT UP! this is one of the reasons why some clubs/M&G/house parties do interviews on the single guys and limit their numbers. any place that just lets any single guy off the street in is asking for trouble. I've been places where it was just a cutoff.. X number of single guys and then turn the rest away..and we don't care who they are. it was a disaster. they closed down in 3 parties...each time the cops had to be called because of either theft or assault. respectful single guys who know the rules are usually welcomed everywhere. unfortunately they're not easy to find. which is why some people go to the couples only parties..the club hosts don't go through the effort to find them. I fully understand WHY they don't....honestly it's a pain in the ass...we easily spend 10 hours a week answering phone calls/e-mails from single guys. and then we do a few hours every weekend doing interviews. after that we background check the promising ones..to see if they're married, have a DWI , anything violent....we weed those out. after that they get a party or two when we watch them like a hawk. it's not easy. but our people appreciate it. and actually once it's over the guys appreciate it....being welcome at our parties is sometimes how they get into other places.
  2. joe, the owner of the middledoor, is in his 70's and has been swinging since the late 1950's key parties did indeed exist. usually they were a closed group of a limited number of people.
  3. as the doorman, I'm dressing up for a lot of the theme parties! valentines day - nerf crossbow, white feathered wings, and heart-covered boxers talk like a pirate day - pirate shirt, big pirate boots, real cutlass, big pirate hat, and a stuffed parrot (he's only mostly dead) halloween - I'm toying with dressing either as Candidate Cthulu (why vote for the lesser evil) and Alley Oop the caveman
  4. I've concidered it. being single,sometimes the doorman job is like being Tantalus from the greek myths..surrounded with what you want, but everything is just out of reach. I'm not going to use my position to get anything, that would be unethical. it's tough sometimes, and damn lonely, but there it is. Allen the Doorman
  5. from personal experience (being security at an on-premise, and doing security for several hotel events) the on-premise parties make ME less nervous. in an on-premise environment, usually there are no rooms a security person can't get into in a few seconds. at least, their shouldn't be any. at a hotel party, I hear screaming behind a locked door it's 10-15 minutes before I can get past that door..if at all. most hotels don't respect event security, or for legal reasons can't help you get past that door without the police. "whoa..hey..we said "SOFT SWING"! she said NO!" and trying to get someone to get the hell off your wife in a hotel room...you're on your own. in an on-premise party..you open the door to your private room and you get security to help take care of it...and usually the other patrons will help out too if security is a little bit out of reach. knowing there is backup if something happens you don't want to happen can be very comforting. now, I'm not saying any of this sort of thing happens often. it doesn't. I think in the 7 years I've been doorman I've had to open 2 locked doors. but that couple and that single woman were very happy I could. Allen the Doorman
  6. and this is our responsibility...how? if you have been paying attention, there is a overwhelming amount of single males, and very few single females. (they call them unicorns for a reason) so, according to you, the rest of us should arrange meetings between the single guys, and the single girls....and since there will always be more guys than girls, what do we do with the "leftover" guys? or what if the girls just aren't interested? is it still our fault that all these single guys don't get dates? I'm sorry, but stop whining about being a victim. the rest of us are not responsible for getting the single people a date. and if couples are "protective" of single women there is a good reason. an overwhelming number (not all, of course, but most of them) of single males look at swinging as one thing..an easy way to get laid. and that's all they are in it for. reason enough to protect them. and as far as couples that want no single guys at any party, at any time..well, they can have that party if they want. just like you can run your "just singles" party if you want. put up your own money and run a party the way you like. capitalism. you'll either do well, or fail, depending on what people in your area want.
  7. As a club owner, we've banned people all the time...Usually it's just bad behavior. The big one seems to be private room doors...Once closed..They stay closed, and opening them for whatever reason just isn't acceptable. We've banned a couple because the male half decided to use some acrobatics to put his dick into a woman face....That had already told him "No". We've had people show up dirty. Like "We had to change an engine in the car after it fell in the swamp on the way here" dirty. After several offers to use the shower and change, and their repeated insistence that they didn't need to, we escorted them out. We've had people that show up very sedate, almost bored, and after a half-hour bathroom break they come out hyper and almost uncontrollable. I'm not sure what they were on, but whatever it was, it wasn't a good idea. We've been badmouthed for banning people. I've been personally banned from certain parties because "You banned my buddy, who is harmless and only looking for a good time" As far as political views I have seen people banned from other parties because they didn't agree with the party hosts, or didn't want to give money to a certain candidate or political view in addition to their usual donation. I've asked people to tone down political discussions at parties, when people have told me they are uncomfortable..And I suppose if the one on the soap-box didn't tone it down, we probably would have asked them to leave too. But we haven't got to that yet.
  8. yes, she was. I definitely opened up my dusty old teenage list of "women to do" and got to check off one of them LOL
  9. I've run into my high school english teacher at a party once... we've also had 3 separate couples come to the party once..all 3 of the guys were maine state troopers in the same unit..no one knew the others were coming. we've had people come from 3 states away, specifically so that they didn't meet people they knew..run into their next door neighbor, who was there for the same reason!
  10. here's our party rules... GENERAL RULES 1)no means no don't be afraid to say no. and if you say "maybe" or "not now", understand that this means they will be back later! if someone tell you NO and you keep it up you WILL be ejected, and you will NOT be allowed back. if you can't take NO respectably don't bother to show up. in my 6 years or so as doorman we've VERY rarely had to eject anyone. let's leave it that way. also remember that this applies to online as well. if someone tells you "no thank you"..and you keep on asking...I'll make sure you're done here and a lot of other places as well. 2)have fun and if something is making things not enjoyable for you, let us know, and we WILL fix it. 3)BYOB we don't supply alcohol. you need to bring your own! 4)smoking is outside on the back porch please respect those that don't smoke by leaving it outside! 5)leave the drugs at home alcohol is legal. other drugs aren't. SINGLE MALE RULES 1)you must go through our interview process prior to attendance. call joe (xxx)xxx-xxxx and ask for an interview. if we have room for a single male you might get one. 2)no admittance for single males until 9:30. NO exceptions. DIRECTIONS we don't publish the directions to the party. if you are a couple or a single female ASK, we will gladly send them out to you. single males MUST go through the interview process. when you get an interview, you will be given directions. PARKING please park on the same side of the street as the house is on, all the way down in either direction, just don't block any driveways or the fire hydrants. also the side of the house down to the parking lot behind the house is usually open. the lot behind the house is for residents, please don't block it or park there. if there is ever a parking ban in portsmouth..usually in the winter... we have a lot nearby we can park at and we will gladly shuttle you back and forth. just come to the front of the house and we'll show you where it is. parking hasn't been a problem...yet. but it could turn into one. see you at a party! allen the doorman
  11. I've actually made a fake profile...for legitimate reasons. we had another club join our message board under a false name. and any time we had a new couple introduce themselves, or say they were going to the parties we throw, they'd make up all kinds of BS (not clean, my wife got crabs from the beds, they force newbies to have sex with the staff first, ect) and then "come to our club we don't do that sort of thing" problem is, I couldn't figure out which one was the false name...none of the newbies would tell me. so I started a false profile, complete with shoulders-down pics of me and an ex-girlfriend (with her permission, of course), joined the message board, and posted about "coming to our first party and we're pretty nervous" like clockwork, a few hours later, the offending club sent us an e-mail about how truly awful our club was..according to him, we were a double-wide trailer (actually a house built in the 1890's) near a swamp (near the harbor) and the fake details got worse from there. needless to say, I bounced him and let everyone know what was going on. I haven't really used the profile since. but I think it was legitimate way to get rid of someone like that.
  12. I've had it happen a few times too... once we drove about 5 hours to meet another couple, got a hotel room, the whole deal. met them for dinner friday night, they had an "emergency phone call" about thier kids being injured...perfectly legitimate excuse.. we had a laptop set up in the hotel room, and tried IM'ing them, no answer. tried calling. no answer. what a waste of a weekend! middle of nowhere, nothing else to do... now we just go to clubs/house parties...and tell people to meet us there. if they don't show...so what? if someone gets pushy or rude or otherwise offensive, you tell the people in charge and let THEM take care of it. and it's a hell of a lot safer than letting people you don't really know into your home! allen the doorman
