We think its a great way to introduce yourselves, if its a mixed event (singles and couples) even better, we like both singles and couples so i guess our input is swayed there, but if it was one we were interested in, as long as the crowd is evenly mixed thats fair to all... We would attend either way (couples only OR mixed).. still looking forward to our first M&G here in Brisbane..

Frankly, I will personally attend any I am able to, and have done for a few years now, as you never know who you might meet, when or where, that might be interested in you, platonically or otherwise. But remember it's not one or the other. There's room for all options. You do not have to choose. Couples only meets are good for those that way inclined, and especially locals, while the open meets are good for interstate visitors which in the past have included many singles. And those singles are often seeking other singles, or just to catch up with friends, which include singles and couples. I have a friendship with a couple and therefor only open meet and greets we can attend together. The biggest hurdle of a large meet in a dedicated space is covering costs eg minimum spends, but smaller meets can be made arbitrarily as casual group bookings, and with less notice and organisation work needed. I have hosted a singles social too. With multiple play events occuring every weekend, I'm sure there is plenty of space in the year for different types of socials. - Posted from rhpmobile

On the one hand, M&G events give you a chance to find a group of similar minded people who are at least halfway genuine, because they bothered to turn up. And there are no 'first date' issues (like rejection when you discover the other person(s) we're not how they represented themselves. But I've also seen people turn up and hassle the other attendees because, well, everyone there are swingers and therefore up for it, right? And turn the event into something uncomfortable because they now know your faces. - Posted from rhpmobile

Surprise I prefer social meet & greets which are open to all.... I may have organised half a dozen of them in my time lol. One of the nicer aspects of this community is being able to make friends (of the platonic type) with a variety of people, whether they be coupled up or single; social meet & greets assist this. As well as meeting old and potentially new play friends 😊

... when you don't have much energy left for anything more that a few drinks and a stimulating conversation :) Also, agree with DynamicCouple36, it is OK to invite singles.

We like them where couples and singles invited as it’s a social function and great way to put faces and personalities to profile names. We also play with couples and singles so all the better. No need to worry about the much maligned single men as M&Gs seem to be the one event where single women outnumber them. Mr D - Posted from rhpmobile

I've never understood the exclusion of Singles at a social M&G It's a social thing and we would be just as happy to meet singles as we would couples

Quoting 'Obsidian' On the one hand, M&G events give you a chance to find a group of similar minded people who are at least halfway genuine, because they bothered to turn up.

All the signal guys are shy when I'm around. Why is that.......

But we loved it! That said I am not sure which category I would even fit into now, as I am in a couple, but I play solo, so does that make me a single or a couple??? I personally love the idea of social M&Gs and would do my best to try and attend any that were held here. I like the idea of both couples and singles, as mentioned previously, many of us are here not just for play friends, but platonic friends too! But it is a good opportunity to put some faces to names, get that "no obligation" initial meet done over a drink. Especially for those of us that don't have a lot of social time available to us!

mixed meet and greets. and all have been great ,couples and single females have always out numbered single guys no probs at all ,when the single guys find out no sex is on offer most don’t show ,and those that do are very well mannered and non hasserling ,from exsperiance add possible sex to the meet and greet equation and the whole dynamics and ratio changers for the worse in our opinion mr b - Posted from rhpmobile

I've hosted both. My most popular one was the singles and selected couples. It was a great night. I like to mix it up and accodate to everyone's needs. These nights are a great opportunity to meet so many people. I've loved watching the flirting, exchanging of numbers and the thank you messages I get from people hooking up from my meet and Greets. I highly recommend you all attend a meet and greet in some point of being in this scene. - Posted from rhpmobile

We're in the process of looking for venues for the Brisbane Meet and Greet at the moment. Probably late July. Open to all. Similar to last years Brisbane M&G.

can't wait!!! The last one was so much fun, but I was so shy and didn't know too many, I think I will probably be a lot more relaxed next time around :)

We find meet and greets and parties are always better with a few singles in the mix... And that just as with dating a lot of the guys are all talk no show, I believe 1 meet and greet hostess say 10+ guys said they were coming and 3 actually showed up.

We get to M&Gs when we can. Often the people are different from those who attend sex parties and clubs, so we get to meet all kinds of people, even singles, lol.

This is our first open social night and we're expecting a great crowd. We provide a great casual atmosphere for people to have a chat over drinks. This event especially suited to people new to the scene. Clothes stay on (it's a public bar) and everyone is looking their best. Come for a chat with others to see what it's all about https://redhotpie.com.au/Mobile/Event/Detail.aspx?id=53770 - Posted from rhpmobile

We attended the social meet last Saturday 5th May. There were about 70 people there, mostly couples. To the most part, couples mingled and chatted really well and the vine was great. We had a fantastic time and we built new connections with some really great couples. There were around 4 single women and about 6 or 8 single guys. The single guys looked out of place and uncomfortable. I have a question: What's a successful social meetup look like from a single person's perspective? Fred - Posted from rhpmobile

A single person's perspective: Note: this is out of control of most social functions that don't have exclusive use of a venue or part thereof... However, noice level is commonly a problem. The combination of louder background/foreground music and all people that are talking at once, means that conversation can often be quite difficult unless you are speaking right next to each other's ear. This is the case for people that know each other or not, but also makes it hard to make longer, more subtle conversations, especially if you are trying to meet complete strangers. In this case, it wasn't too bad. But my* ideal would be a nice cosy lounge bar with only ambient background music, and slightly seperated areas for cosying up if required :) But this is quite difficult to arrange due to costs (minimum spend etc) of having a venue to yourself. * My preference only, no disrespect for other preferences. I've found such noise to be the case at generic vanilla singles nights too, to the point I've just given up and left at least once. Or just call me out at not being from the city/nightlife style :P As for feeling out of place, as advice to other singles, I guess from my very first meet and greet in a similar situation, the idea is simply to say hello to people without any expectation, and to say hello back regardless of having any personal interest in the other person/s. Eventually, if you continue to come to further events, there will be people you have met before, and this gradually builds to a good network if you continue to attend. However, if you are there only looking to hookup, prepare to be disappointed. That is why it is a social night. There are other parties for more immediate desires. However, worst case there was still some things to see and do at this venue ;) Am I correct in that some guests were not on/via rhp? As the only way I communicated with anyone on my first meet, years ago now, was via usernames and content via the rhp forums etc. Some appeared to not be aware of this place. But in any case, optional name or username badges/stickers are a great help. You might be able to recognise someone you know via another means, via the username, especially as most profiles do not have public face shots.
