The guy wanted said he didn't want a date he just wanted random hook ups? Great so he can't even commit to meeting a bunch of women who are looking for a good time over a drink. Some people are really limited in their outlook I think. Like I told someone recently. I have met over 100 RHP people via social meet and greet nights. I have gone to dinners, drinks nights, swingers clubs, sex parties, threesomes, and moresomes..................... all nights that have developed from meeting people at M&G nights. So to all those blokes (and I say that because that is who I speak to about these nights) instead of complaining that you can't get any interest from women get out of your lazy arse comfort zone and make a friggin effort to meet some people face to face. I can't even count the number of times I have suggested to men that they should go and I rarely get a positive response.... they are all too comfy sitting at home with their hands on their dicks I reckon.

I have had a men think that I am asking them as my date when I suggest they go to the M&G night to meet some people. One time a guy wrote back to say he hoped I wasn't a timewaster because he had already booked the hotel........ this is based on one email and no pictures exchanged!!! So I don't know. Maybe men do think it is like a speed dating event to find your true love or something?

... but looking forward to the one in Melbourne. I do not really know why as most of us don't but perhaps those guys just looking for random hookups don't want to run into several women they have seen and I use this word loosely, burnt. They may feel it will cause them some form of trouble or embarrassment. Just my two cents from somebody that probably knows jack. Oh and by the way Happy Birthday to anyone whos birthday it might be today . It isn't mine but someone out there must be another year older

Don't get me started on this topic!! I'm part of the gang organising the next Melbourne social meet and greet (gratuitous plug.... its on Saturday 23rd May). This will be the third I have been involved in organising so I might know a thing or two about these events now. I can tell you (thanks to our beautiful spreadsheets!) that we have 40% more single men registered for the event than single women.... BUT On the night, there will be more single WOMEN in attendance than men. Those men who have made it to these apparently "scary events" usually end up with a bunch of new friends and many have now registered for their third meet and greet. Why? Because they are fun! And you meet people - lots of sexy people. So get off your arses men! That is the only way you get to meet people and meeting people is your best chance of scoring a shag at some point in the next decade.

And what is soooo funnnerer is that you meet people from all over the place.not just your small village...but here is the thing,most women go with a friend or friends,single men go alone...it's much scarier me thinks to do that ..but be brave,we are a friendly bunch,just introduce yourself when you arrive ..like Meeka says,see it as an opportunity to network,broaden your options,you never know who knows somebody ,who knows somebody,xxFreya

Every Perth M&G I've attended I have shown up to on my own. I have no issues with approaching a group of people to say hello. No-one is going to be an arse if they have organised an event for the sole purpose of meeting people. There's no denying though that the guys who use the site socially have more luck sexually as well. There's a lesson there fellas.

Sweeping generalization here.....but it does seem to be true. I have met many many many more women than men at Melbourne M&G nights....and I am straight with no sexual interest in women. Been very fortunate to make some wonderful friends as well. Over the past few years I have asked a few different male friends along to Meet & Greets , initially they are keen, then as the night grows closer they come up with a myriad of excuses not to come along. Here are a few I have heard myself or from others over the years..... * It will just be the same as on rhp...all these guys hanging around trying to get some female attention. * More men than women * They are not into Group Sex * They have screwed around with too many women attending, told each woman he is only seeing her and doesnt want to be found out. * He is really married, not single (as on his profile) and cant get out on a Saturday night. * They get shy * They dont want to put any effort. ......and the list could go on ...

The first Meet and Greet night I attended....... was one I arranged myself with another woman who I only knew via email and I didn't know anyone except through the forums. Some of the people I met that night, 4 yrs ago are still friends of mine today. Sometimes you have to risk it. But I think women are interested in friendships and network but lots of the men who I have mentioned it to via email all seem to just be looking for a root and are not interest in the social side of this RHP. Not all blokes of course. I do find that women seem to find lots of friendships on here and men are more the loan wolves. Is that reflective of real life too? Not sure.

I live in a very unpredictable lifestyle. Yes I can sign up to attending and can have all intentions; but then the truck may breakdown 800kms away and get stuck for 24 hours and hence being too late to make it worth attending. But that aside.... I think there are those that would think it's unnecessary to socialise, as it becomes "real" Perhaps they're like me and find hard to connect to people ?? Who knows the exact reason except those that do it. - Posted from rhpmobile

Most of the people I've met on RHP have been through Meet & Greets (we even went to the QLD one) and have hosted our own in Perth, and it is true. But I find the women do tend to be more social on RHP but also know each other through the chatrooms/forums and so see it as an extension of this. Many go with the purpose of not meeting men but rather having a night out with their forum friends. Maybe the single men don't attend as they do see it as more of a social gathering and they are only out for hookups? Who knows. But most men I know also have solid friendships where sex talk isn't taboo unlike Mrs3's friends. Maybe that has some bearing on it also. And if they've never attended a meet and greet there's a good chance they look at the registration page and see the number of men outnumbering women 3-1 and think they have a better chance just going out with their friends and trying their luck at a club/pub? You will see most of the women arrive in groups and socialise within that grooup til they feel comfortable, whereas the men mostly arrive solo. There are many variables. Its funny though. Meet and greets seem to be the actual opposite of RHP, where the females actually outnumber the men for a change. Its nice to see the tables turned every once in a while ;)

To the guys considering coming along, be wary. Your wife/partner/girlfriend probably will suspect something for a start, but even if you can get away with it, you may not enjoy it. It's hard to call a woman names in person after she politely rejects you like you can online. It's really hard to pretend you are 10yrs younger, and the fake photos of your abs wont cover your very real beer gut. You will have to talk to women, in a social situation, not just from the safety of your keyboard. They wont just jump into bed with you because you turned up. That's going to be very disappointing, especially if you've had to create all sorts of stories to get away from the wife for the night. It really is best that you leave it to the experts. See you all there ladies.

Perhaps most of the "single" men, trolling RHP, who put their names down to attend a Meet & Greet , then have problems getting "permission" from their wives/partners, and so then don't attend? ;) For many, on here, this site is just a fantasy and meeting in real life is problematic as they are not who they say they are : couples who turn out being just the male, single females turning out to be male ....... Or real couples where the female half has no idea of their profile on RHP ...... - Posted from rhpmobile

Its easy to be confident in a one on one situation. Not everyone is comfortable in crowds or breaking the ice with strangers. I fall into that category myself. Once you get to know me I love to talk and get on with just about everyone. Put me into a crowd of strangers and its a different story. I have gone to a couple of M&Gs now and the people are always warm and friendly. I have to remind myself that there are people there wanting to meet me, we already share a common interest within a select community of open minded people and to just relax and enjoy the social atmosphere. First timers have preconceived ideas of what happens at RHP M&Gs. A male friend who did come along to one recently told me he sat in the carpark for a while and almost left because of nerves. When he eventually came and joined in he said, its just like going to any pub and meeting people. "You couldn't tell they were from RHP, they're just regular people! " LG

Are the same .... chickenshits, really ?? Example, I had made arrangements to meet a lovely lady this past weekend at a particular function 2 hours drive away from home. Was pissing down really badly most of the way there (and back) with bad traffic on the Motorway - could hardly see the road some times. Still managed to get up to the event and had a great time with said lady and spent some quality time getting to know her (no sex involved). Absolutely agree it is poor form to sign up and not turn up, but some of us blokes actually do make the effort to do as we say. Tall

At the last one I went to in Perth, there were four nice looking men siting at a table. They were out in the middle of our group and had no idea. I stated talking to them and they thought it was some kind of work do. They did say that some people seemed to know each other and some did not. when I said its a date site, they were pretty happy campers and I gave two my number. So they thought, and its true, perish the thought , we are just NORMAL people in a pub having normal conversations. No body knows what we are, its a birthday party, its a writers group it can be what ever you want it to be if anyone asks. You can say you came with a friend of a friend and have no idea. I took a girlfriend to my fist meet, organised by Inspiritshe had no idea the whole night, I just said it was business thing to hand out cards for my photography. she thought the guys were a bit fresh, chatting her up so I told her and she just say shit , you should have told me while we were there. She might have scored. to be honest if you do not have the guts to talk to us out of bed then there is no point having you in the sheets. I do get that younger guys might feel a bit awkward, as after all they do not really want the world to know they are after older women. Or married guys, but just do not put your name down to go. Or tell a person you are going to turn up, that part is not good. was nice to meet some new people and say hi to those I know, I enjoyed the conversations, and thanks to those that organised it. Ps the photoshoot will be on as soon as I get some time ladies.

I don't know why guys wouldn't turn up? It's fun, there is so much eye candy, and full of great people.I've been to 3 in Qld, 1 in Sydney, and enjoyed the night out every time.I've never hooked up at a M&G, but that's not while I attend. I go to spend a night out making innuendo with cheeky like minded perves like me. I can be rude (in a cheeky manor, not obnoxious), dirty, naughty, and it's all taken in the fun & silly manor it's intended. You don't have to be P.C., but remember to ALWAYS be polite, be a gentleman, and lighten up. Chaucer

At the last meet and greet I organised, there was a lady that arrived and it was her first meet. She said I think I have to go as Im afraid that I might run into someone I know as I live locally. My response was look no ones knows we are from RHP not even the bar manager. I just book the space and told him it was just a social gathering. In my head Im thinking we dont have swingers written on our foreheads in bright red ink. There was another guy that I asked hey why didnt you come to the meet . His response was oh I thought it was a front for an organised orgy. Really what part of social meet in a public venue suggest to you. Also I have actually asked a guy the question as to why he had never been to a meet and greet? His response was he found meeting one on one more comfortable compared to a group meeting he found was just out of his comfort zone. So there are so many reasons why some just dont attend. However what some people need to realise is that its safer to meet people this way I mean this as in a personal safety. Well I say if your not prepared to put yourself out there, then your missing out on meeting some great people.

I had no idea what to expect .. I went to my first meet and greet and I know it said social .. But hey I'm on RHP. I had a great time and net some great people and I will go again, however it's easy for me to say that now as I been, I know what to expect and I had a great friend push me lol. So I'm just saying even though it says social or whatever , if your new and a little naive your mind can make up whatever lol sounds silly but it's the human mind xo
