Hi SDMR
Instead of having one extra site for the "Fakers" why not have 47,479 sites to represent each person on this site, as none of us want exactly the same thing, not even my wife and I.
Or
We can have one site with different profiles.
The thing is, many of the Faker couples started off with real intentions but nervous, until they encountered someone as uncompromising or unyielding as you appear to be. They then start employing many defensive tactics. Often one of the partners will pull out and the other will keep on trying, hoping to get their partner back in once they found a match.
We know several couples like that and in some cases, in the past, we have added to their pain.
It is much easier to be brave on this site as a single male with few reservations or limits.
If you however want to do this in a way that is exciting but safe for your wife at the same time, it is a different story all together.
Thing is, many of the profiles are not completely honest or up to date. Not even the most ready to meet and play ones.
We all just trying to find something that works for us, so let's give each other some grace.

That same community that preaches understanding, deserves exactly that from all other members, new or existing. If they say, NO SINGLE MALES, then that's what they want, respect it.
Contacting people who have made it clear they are looking for something other than what you are offering is looking for failure, forget about trying to change their views, rather consider changing your own.

Maybe someone can explain to me how it is that in a community that preaches a message of understanding, openness and general acceptance, the stigma of A: being a newbie, & B: LORD FORBID U ARE A SINGLE MALE WHO IS CAUTIOUS, most are treated like Pariah's and made to feel exactly like they are trying to join an exclusive club, who's members deign to judge you for the very principles they preach?
Maybe i'm delusional, but .... as a newbie single male i'm sure i speak for others who are literally intimidated out of practicing something that they would like,,, why else would we have joined, surely not to be met by the same exclusion that greeted them in the " normal " world...
Just a few thoughts...

I'd like to make a recommendation about how to self assess build descriptions. I would've described myself as medium. What passes for 'medium' means I've now changed it to athletic. There are many large people that describe themselves as 'medium'. If you can't see your penis when you look down, chances are you NOT medium. Perhaps the moderators can help out her I.e. Medium - SMALL tummy
Large - big tummy
Athletic - toned
Muscular - gym bunny
Or is it just me that's delusional?
Cheers!

Hi there,
I just have one problem with what you are saying. We have been on this site for sometime now and have only meet 3 cpls as the other people always pull out at last minute for some or other reason. Then in our case we will never reach the quota you are suggesting. :sad:
I would say a member must be on the site for sometime and them, their self must be verified, before they can verify a new member. I think this will cut down the people that join the site and get member verified with in 7days in the meantime they are just testing the water to see if the life style is for them or not.

Just an idea

Been giving this some thought:
I've come across some profiles that have been verified by several members. (None in our area)
It carries much more value if you can cross reference acquaintances and adds greatly to someones credibility.
So someone in a cluster please do the trouble of getting Cam verified and then verify the people you trust.
Then let them verify each other as well to form a cross referencing network.
As mentioned before making it difficult to get into things scares off good potential swingers more than it does an ass
I have described Cam verification under: Forum- Site Help- Unverified: "Verified, the easy way"
@ Lee
As with Pussinboots1, it does bother me that, as a mod, neither of your profiles are Member Verified.

Sorry all but it is now time for me to step up onto my soapbox and have a rant.
I have two issues with South African in the lifestyle.
1. People can not read, or they can but dont respect others enough to care. for example: we clearly state on our profile that mrs is straight and yet we still keep getting cpls and ladies trying their luck. or we state we will contact single men, and yet they flood our mailbox.
Come on people, lets respect each other enough to respect each others wishes.
2. This brings me to the next issue, why is it that people have incorrect or misleading information on their profiles, This causes one to have to filter through hundreds of profiles, find a profile or two you like, make contact only to find out that the information supplied is incorrect and you are nowhere near a match.
Thats like putting on your CV that you have a phd in Physics and when you get called to an interview you only have a std8. Total waste of your time and others.
Single lady profiles looking for cpls and when you make contact they inform you that they a cpl and looking for ladies.
Come on people is it that difficult to supply the correct information, its not like the people are not going to find out.
Quote by LeeEC
AS with all things very little is REALLY "fact", even the largest portion of what we call "scientific research" is incomplete at best. Personally I think what the actual bi-sexual person thinks about bisexuality is FAR more important and FAR more valid and relevant than any PhD holder's theory or wiki article. Also I think PEOPLE are more important than ideas, and not injuring or offending others (and purposefully and proactively respecting others) is MORE important than definitions and categories.
All the real problems, human atrocities and man-made disasters of this world have been caused by categorizing and defining the differences of people and imposing judgement on them based on those categories. So I prefer not to impose on others a label or box of any sort.
Maybe because it's essentially my job to help people out of these same boxes and freeing them from other's judgements, or perhaps it's because I know what it's like to be judged by someone else's yard-stick, so I automatically reject the premise.
So I still stick with my original definition and opinion. You can be whoever you want to be as long as you're happy - and you don't have to explain yourself to anyone or give a reason for your choices. Be free be completely unique - be straight if you like and still like dick occasionally, I don't care as long as you, my friend, are happy, I'm happy.
Quote by Mike_Pta
I assume you mean "I'm NOT saying..." in which case I agree with you wholeheartedly. Thing is - as I've said before, I believe that cheating is like the OPPOSITE of swinging. It's not something we support or condone. So why on earth would I reward ANY cheater with this yummy set of bits? It's like silently accepting, condoning and supporting their actions by default.
Also I suspect a person's attitude about this particular subject (as is the case with EVERYTHING) is coloured by their personal experience. If you are not one who has actually been cheated on, you may not fully understand why it's SUCH a BIG issue for some of us.
And it is. HUGE.
No way I will EVER participate in or enable someone else's blatant disrespect and pointed inevitable destruction of their chosen life partner.
TO BE CLEAR: Please note the reference to the breach of a Long-Term Committed Relationship! I'm not talking about casual dating, although, in my mind, one who is inclined to 'cheat' at a 'dating level', doesn't sound like an awesome candidate for something more serious in the future.
Quote by Stamina
So... in another thread you mention how a degree really isn't a good indicator of who is best at a job, but now you list your Honors degree as a reason we should all bow to your superior knowledge? :twisted: Make up your mind dude...
You are incorrect with regards to the above Lee. I said no such thing. SDMR is so far the only person that truly reads and understands the posts in these forums. So far, I have had to repeat myself countless times to everyone putting words in my mouth.
I said in the other forum that the paperless applicants are automatically rejected and qualified applicants get the job. That means that the time to assess the applicant without diploma was not granted. So the it was simply assumed that he was unfit for the position. Never said anything about a degree not being a good indicator. Please stop (constantly) implying that I contradict myself on the forums.. ( and I ask that respectfully).
Just as you don't all agree with my opinions and debate, so will I attempt to justify that opinion. Remember that once an argument starts, the disagreeing party will not back down and possibly admit that the first opinion was actually relevent. The disagreeing party will continue the debate (futilely) as they are now committed to victory.
As I am asked to just admit that I am wrong... I ask that (occasionally) you all see the valid points hidden in my text and give it more careful consideration before commenting. That way we can all be objective. Damn, now I have a headache! He he he

I WILL NOT GET CAUGHT...........lol.
How do you actually expect to be taken at face value. Cheating is lying and being dishonest. How do you expect any cpls to believe what you write in your forums about being here for all the right reasons when in actual fact you are in the process of being dishonest to your partner:bs:
Quote by MIKE_
Hi guys,
We feel very strongly that the essence of swinging is based in the honesty between a husband and wife, (or couple in a relationship). What sets swingers apart from others is a respect for our partner that's founded on honesty and trustworthiness.
Now cheating is in direct conflict with these values, and I would go as far as to say, shows disrespect for the unknowing partner. Irrespective of how one tries to sugar coat it, cheating remains cheating, it cannot be disguised as swinging.
So to most couples who have committed themselves to swinging as a lifestyle, embracing all aspects including the values of respect, honesty and trustworthiness, the relationship status of potential playmates does matter a great deal.
We are not judging all cheats to be bad people in every aspect of there life, but simple that as far as our respective relationship values are concerned we are polar opposites.
If you cannot respect you partner, the one you profess to love. Then when the chips are on the table, how do i trust you are going to respect my wife and my marriage?

I understand. Buy I still believe that every situation should be considered in its own merit. Some can cheat discretely, some can't. Saying no to all cheaters because of fear of getting caught is too general for me. If that is your only reason for not playing with an attached (cheating) person, then I think you should atleast try to consider all the facts. I own a business, my time is flexible, I can go where I please any time of day and my girl will never know where I was. I see her one or two nights a week. She works for a boss so in an office from 8 to 5, six days a week. I WILL NOT get caught. The next guy may be stupid and tell his wife that he is going on a boys night. Wife eventually finds out that there was no boys night and the bust happens... The problem is that the world is too general. It would be a better place if each an every situation was approached individually. I will actually start another discussion on the topic to explain what I mean... Look out for (Generalizing)...
Quote by Stamina
In my experience so far, the number of guys (and type of guys) has everything to do with it. I send clean, honest, respectful messages. Ice-breakers. I never imply that I want to "fuck" the wife of a couple. I make contact respectfully and more often than anything, I get rude replies. I am treated like dirt from the get go. And all those rude replies smack of frustration from the couple. I am an intelligent man - I can put 2 and 2 together. I understand straight away that a couple has had one or more bad experiences with a male. I know when I am shifted to that bracket. There are those that politely inform me that my relationship status kills my chances, and I gladly accept their decision. But most tell me in not so many words to go find another hole for my dick! And that is after a polite and respectful first contact message. Besides, my relationship status should have nothing to do with it anyway. The couple I play with is not going to marry me, it is about physical pleasure and not about people life choices. If you are a couple that wants a male to attend a session, do you want his sexual skills or do you want to move in and be a second husband. Just saying... The assholes DO make it difficult (damn near impossible) for the few decent ones.
