Swingles

November 18 2018

Last night I attended a well organised WA meet and greet night. The event was for 200 maximum. Couples and single men invited to equal number of single females. Which is a great improvement from the normal unlimited couples and single women. Restricted number of single men. In the past I have attended such events as a single and also with a male fwb as a couple. I can tell you the experience is very different. When seen as a couple many other couples are much more inclined to say hello and have a chat. As a single it can be a very daunting experience and as I did last night felt isolated. Other than one couple who took the time to.talk and a few friends I already knew. So I'm considering an idea of a new type of meet n greet. Swingles that are also asked to invite a couple they get along with. As I read in the forums often the subject of how problematic it is for couples. Who are seeking either a suitable male or female to join them. In saying that i realise not all are looking for that situation being a couple or single. Just to perhaps breakdown some of the barriers between the two groups. Just.because we are single doesnt mean we any different from couples seeking fun with mutual respect. Whether it be sexual intent or friendship. What are your thoughts on this idea ?

You are right. There is a barrier. Most likely has to do with relationship dynamics and what people look for and want, to get their needs met. I would say, most couples prefer another couple or a plus one (person who is BI or straight single guy). Difficult for all to gell. Most singles want someone who is single to form a couple or play with a couple. Ms Foxy

I agree. For a single person to go alone to events, it can be very daunting. That's why I play it safe and go with friends, who have my back. Ms Foxy

It is perhaps a good idea. I have ran an RHP singles party in the past. However for a swingles party where you have to invite a couple you know, it would only apply to the few that have made a connection with such a couple, and singles that do not currently know anyone (another single or otherwise) would they still be able to attend? As for the difference you have found in attending as a single or a couple, I would be a little more wary of extra interest. After all, I would want people to be getting to know me because of the unique individual that I am, and not because of the hypothetical lovely lady on my arm.

I know some lovely couples but when I go to a meet and greet Im looking to meet other singles. Look forward to any future events that you are organising.

We recently ran a meet and greet and was couples a few single girls and three single guys. One of the guys made a big effort and was able to have a great conversation but the two others struggled to have any interaction despite our hostesses and myself introducing them and chatting to them. They did enjoy the night but were quite shy.A meet and greet for singles would be great we imagine! Go for it

I'd love to go to a swingle meet and greet on the Gold Coast. I think that it's a great idea

Do an event: A BI-functional swingle party. 🤓 Ms Foxy

That would be fun but my partner gets hit on constantly at any event that is bi orientated and he is straight

that you are heading in the right direction, but perhaps focus it more towards singles, with a small number of couples allowed in. Check out the events section on site - pretty much everything is directed either towards couples only, or couples and single females. Single guys don't get a look in. An event with roughly equal numbers of single females and males, with the odd small number of couples, would make for a much nicer event for all to enjoy. Tall
