I'm new to this.

August 24 2021

I see this a hell of a lot on profiles. "I'm new to this" IMO, Its a really bizzare statement. My first thoughts are always, new to what? What does "new to this" mean? Does it mean they are making a public statement that they have no social skills and are inexperienced? They've never met up with people before? Never had sex? 🤷‍♀️ Ms Foxy

    I think "being new to this" is a fair statement. Most app dating / websites you show your smile pic and talk about yourself in a personal, open, honest way. Here? It's completely different. Less smiles / more body parts. Less "who you are" and more "what are you into sexually". Being new to swinging and dating within... nothing wrong with being "new".

    I'd say there are many daunted by the possibility of diving into something new (we certainly were/are). Combine the notion or perception that everyone else must be very 'experienced' and you have natural nerves and feel like a newbie. We certainly have a mention on our profile that we are relatively 'new' and this is primarily as we still consider ourselves early in our sharing journey compared to many others here.

    New to putting themselves out there on line perhaps? New to the swinging lifestyle maybe?

    Are people not being specific enough in profiles about what bit they may be new too?? We were ‘new to this site’ a little while ago. We haven’t had sex with other people together before so that would be ‘new to us’. We like knowing if people haven’t been on here before or if it’s a ‘new’ adventure they’re embarking on as a couple. In fact it’s been the icebreaker for almost all of our chats with others. I guess when you’re ‘new’ on here you’re finding your feet. I see so many people getting shot down in flames. We need a SuperFoxxy guide to RHP so we can all get it right 😆

    I think it is very valid to say "new to this". As in they are not yet familiar with all the jargon and etiquette of the RHP community. I don't yet understand what a unicorn is! What does BBC mean? If speaking to a couple and only the male in responding are they in fact a couple and if not why do they have a couples profile! When someone says I am single and discrete does that mean they are in fact single and discrete? Why is everyone eating popcorn? Entering a new lifestyle can be very daunting and I think people appreciate getting the heads up that they are new to this and not old hands yet. :-) Shells

    We've found 50/50 'new to this' are pic collectors, or just want a thrill out of the fantasy of swinging and not ready for the reality. Having said that we've met some absolutely lovely first timers and had a grand old time. Empty profiles usually get a swipe left so to speak... so if there's no validation, a short description of "dipping our toes, new to this" and only 1 or 2 profile pics, they've got a big chance of people assuming they're fake.

    In my experience. Those that put “ I’m new to this” are anything but new to this. Rather it’s a ploy to appear vulnerable and naive. When in reality they are the spider luring the fly into their web. 😇
