I sent you a private message.

I’ve decided I will be stepping back after this event. So unless someone wants to take over, this will be the last one for the foreseeable future.

Invites for the swinger meet and greet dinner in Bedford, Nova Scotia went out May 11th. If you would like to get on my mailing list, please PM me your email address and first name(s). If you thought you were on my list and didn't get an invite, please let me know.

What is it? Dinner at a pub. A vanilla social gathering for swingers to meet in a no-pressure environment.

• Do you enjoy socializing with like-minded people?

• Are you new to the lifestyle and not sure where to start?

• Have you heard about a local event, but been unable to find out any details?

• Have you ever tried to meet another couple one-on-one only to have them cancel, not show, or the female half of the couple is suddenly unavailable?

• Have you ever spent an awkward evening out with a couple you didn't connect with?

If you answered yes to any of those questions, then I encourage you to come out and enjoy some food, drink, and conversation with like-minded people.

Thank you to those that made it out for the Meet and Greet. Turnout was about the same as last time. A good mix of regulars and newbies. Next event is booked for last Saturday in May. That will be the last one until September. I don't do an event over the summer. If you would like to get on my mailing list, please PM me your email address.

Sexlightened

Also, this event lands during Burger Week so the pub will be busy and vanillas will be eyeing my reserved tables. So please be sure to RSVP and update me if things change. And let me know if you are going to arrive a bit later. I don't mind holding seats, but I don't want to hoard empty seats all night.

Sexlightened

Reminders haven't gone out yet, but at this point, I'm expecting about 50 people for this Saturday.

Thank you to those that made it out. While it wasn't quite the turnout I was expecting based on RSVPs, it was still an amazing turnout and I've gotten a lot of positive feedback. By my count, we had 84 people (37 couples, 4 single females, and 6 single males). Next event is booked for last Saturday in January. If you aren't already on my mailing list and would like to be, please send me a private message with your email address and first name(s).

Hi! We are in town right now. Is it to late for us to attend/ be invited?

I don't check in here once I leave for the event so I didn't see your post until now.

JSquared101, for me (trying to explain - not attacking here at all), it actually has nothing to do with me being a "single male"; I am a very polite individual and always have been/always will be, and while I can understand what you are expressing, I am not who you were trying to define. 
I have been in the lifestyle since my mid 20s (late 30s now) and I still think it is polite to respond to a message - takes no time at all in my opinion; I am not sure why there was a need to demean singles and to make it sound like I respond because I'm "desperate" - sorry, I am not desperate and as most - I look for real people who I can trust and get to know (and hopefully well, before ever meeting - and, I like to meet casually and or at a party, before ever playing - I don't think I have ever just jumped into things without a first meet & greet). 
My profile even expresses, from others, how polite I am. 
So I wouldn't judge others on their marital/relationship/non relationship status, but that is my perspective (yours differs, just please don't attack me personally because I take the time to respond to others and that has nothing to do with me being single) 

 

You are reading a lot into my response that I never said or intended. I never meant to imply you were the person I was defining.

My point about you being a single male is that you very likely don't receive the same volume of mail that I do. I have done experiments with changing my gender. It makes a HUGE difference. So responding wouldn't take you nearly as long as it would take me.

Just because it's polite to respond does not mean it's impolite to ignore. I think it's unfair to judge me impolite because I choose not to respond, especially since I tell people my expectations upfront in my profile.

Quote by HappyAgain
You can edit the text of the "wink" to customize the intro msg and notsing a very convenient option provided by the site...

I changed the subject on ours to "Wink" and the body to "If you are receiving this message, it's likely because we clicked the button by accident. Sorry about that."

I never have occasion to send a canned message to anyone.

Quote by trooper4
I always respond. I think if someone has taken the effort to send a message (no matter the content/lack of content), I think it's the polite thing to do, and it really doesn't take much time & or effort - in my opinion. 

I think "politeness" is subjective. It depends a lot on your perspective.

You clearly welcome messages and therefore think it's polite to always respond. As a single male, you probably don't get the same number of messages that a couple or single female does (I also have a single female profile on here).

I do not welcome messages. I state that in our profile. I think it's extremely impolite when someone sends a message saying, "Saw that you viewed my profile. Wanna chat?" When I get bombarded by these, it really does take a lot of time and effort to respond. And if they can't take the time to read and respect our profile, then I don't see why I owe them any of my time.

There is nothing wrong with having different preferences and ways of using the site. The problem is when we expect others to use it the same way we do. I state our preferences in our profile. If someone doesn't respect that, I don't think it's impolite to ignore them.

Quote by trooper4
There is also a huge flaw with the site where if your cursor hovers and or scans brisky by a profile...that profile will get a notice saying that that person(s) viewed their profile when perhaps they didn't.

Exactly! I find this an extremely annoying "feature" of the site.

Quote by 1funcouple4fun
However we do hate the constant looks in our profile and likes but not getting a message.

And I feel the complete opposite of that. I feel it very strongly. I absolutely do NOT want people jumping into our inbox to say they like our profile. I do specifically state that on our profile, but a number of people don't read or don't respect that.

I take no issue whatsoever with someone checking out our profile and liking our pictures. If I didn't want people to see them, I wouldn't put them out there. But our profile is simply a way for us to communicate with people we've already met. Or for allowing people to get in touch with me regarding the events I organize.

Just because someone likes your pictures does not mean they are interested in chatting or meeting.

And a profile view is completely meaningless. I am extremely careful not to hover over avatars which triggers a view, but it still happens far too often when scrolling through our feed or forums. It also happens often when I click X on a notification.

What I find really annoying is when someone likes that I viewed their profile. I hide the activity for people who do that. For one thing, I didn't actually view their profile. Two, if they want to like something, I would prefer they like our pictures or profile.

Quote by Clgycpl2020
That brings us to another comment (which may be a different form question) we often get invites to view private albums from people who have never even sent us a "Hello mesage" or even tried to contact us before sending us their invite. We usually just ignore those as I find it strange you want to exchange private photos with someone you have never spoken too. Do others accept the invite or are we being rud eby ignoring them? We would like to get to know someone a little before we exchange private photos.

It says right in our profile that we are not interested in pic swapping. I ignore album invites. I ignore winks, too. It says right in our profile that we prefer to meet at events and don't chit-chat online.

The decision about cancelling the Meet and Greet has been on the back burner because I knew I had time. However, I think it’s pretty clear that things are going to get worse before they get better. And it now seems that I soon will be exposed to someone returning from abroad. So I’m calling it. The March Meet and Greet is cancelled.

The next one is tentatively booked for end of May.
