Just What Is It With Single Guys?

"Hey what about the weekly updates you promised"?
Ok, yeah I got it, woefully neglectful of my weekly blog update and all I can offer right now is a re-hash of a little rant I published on a swingers website a year or two ago.

To freshen it up a bit I injected a few lighter moments along with a section containing a small sample of recently received emails from would be playmates. They are particularly noteworthy either because the hopeful sender was just a little too short or long on words, or in some cases really weird. If you just happen to be reading this and see a familiar looking note, don't be offended, it's just our warped sense of humour. Rest assured we're not laughing at you but laughing with you
😊

Our track record for actually hooking up and doing the horizontal tango is pretty abysmal it has to be said. Admittedly as you will have read elsewhere in this blog, we are not a 24/7 hardcore lifestyle couple but more than enjoy the occasional hookup, we take our time selecting "Mr. Right", who 95% of the time turns out to be Mr. Wrong, why?

To explain: We frequently get emails and private picture requests from a wide range of guys, a large majority of whom could easily form the subject of many other blog posts. Seriously, try reading a few lines beyond the headline, if you don't fit the demographic, we're looking for then chances are you won't be receiving a reply.  But staying on track, if we like the look of someone's profile, we will either respond to their request to contact them or contact them first, all normal so far, you'd agree, right?

So, with the initial greetings and pleasantries dispensed with we'll correspond via email a few times, just to get a sense of their character. It's worth mentioning there tends to be some warning signs of their impending flakiness, the primary one is how the initial enthusiasm drops from instant replies to increasingly longer gaps between responses. Hey, we get it, you changed your mind, you likely got access to our private pictures but no biggie, just say you changed your mind and bow out gracefully, we won't be offended, we'll just appreciate your honesty.

But the guy we’re corresponding with confirms he’s open to meet in person. So far so good, at this point we drop the first bomb, usually in the form of: "So we'd really like to meet you for a coffee to see if we have some chemistry, how about Timmies next Tuesday at 7pm?"

A very large percentage of those "gagging for it" guys run straight for the hills when they read that reply, Holy shit! Woah! Stop the bus! These people are real swingers and are actually serious about meeting!

So, we never hear from that guy again, he presumably goes off collecting the private pictures of other unsuspecting folks while spanking the Monkey and endlessly fantasizing about you know, actually participating in the lifestyle in the physical sense.

Look we know it can be intimidating, been there, done that, but seriously, it's just for a simple chat over a cup of coffee or whatever. No-one is expecting you to drop the linen and start banging my wife on the counter at a Timmies on Sunday morning just as the congregation from St Pius is filing in fresh from listening to the morning sermon which just happened to be about the evils of fornication and coveting your neighbour's wife.

Then, on the very rare occasion that all the planets are in full alignment, World hunger has been solved & the entire Earth is at peace we finally find a guy that is real enough to actually willing to meet us for that simple cup of coffee. There, not so difficult, was it? If we hit it off, great we can move on to stage two, if we don't then that is of course totally ok, after all it's unrealistic to expect to like everyone. Just be honest, we really, really appreciate it, honesty, integrity and openness are right up there at the top of our list of favourite character traits. So please don't be the guy who informed us via email after the initial meeting that we are not a good match, (which is obviously fair enough) but then 6 months later start bombarding us with friend requests and asking for access to our private pictures, lol.
Erm, how about no!

Ok, bomb number two is in the bomb bay.

Quite often we won't hear back from the guy, yup, making that commitment to get naked scares some guys off. We won't hear back, so after a couple of days we'll send a message and yup, you guessed, radio silence, "ground control to Major Tom, where the fuck did you go"?

So where did he go? Perhaps back to the International Space Station or maybe he got called at short notice to go solve some penguin colony crisis in Antarctica where there is no cellular or internet access, who knows?

But what we do know is that, he suddenly did not have the time or inclination to engage in a highly erotic and very sexually charged threesome with us or a solo encounter with Alanna. 

One fairly recent adventure cultivated over nearly six weeks went south after we met the guy for coffee twice, the second time at his request after he wrote us an email explaining what he would love to do when we all got together at the hotel. So somewhat confidant he was for real we readily agreed to meet him even though we didn't have a lot of time due to another commitment. So after some small talk I pressed him a little to commit to a day to get together at a hotel in the near future.
He actually surprised us both when he started waffling on about his workload and how many quotes he had to do, and how tough it would be to find the time!

So he had basically wasted our time, we'd driven to meet him, despite the prior commitment we'd made to be elsewhere for an appointment only to be rewarded by his lack of ability to follow through, while essentially disrespecting us, nice. We drove away secure in the knowledge we wouldn't be hearing from him again and of course we were right, not that he would have received a reply. Honesty, openness, integrity, it means a lot...

Life is too short to spend time & effort chasing after flaky wannabe guys, so we’ve finally clued in and changed our strategy. Nowadays our swinger site ads make it very clear that only serious contenders need apply. If a potential fuck buddy contacts us, we’ll send him a message thanking him for his interest and suggesting a meet and greet within a couple of days. This is the first cut, a lot of guys flake at this step. If they message back, we’ll ask them to meet us at a place very convenient and close to where we live on a specific day and time. If they can’t make it, we’ll ask them to tell us when they can, we’re reasonable people after all, everyone is busy nowadays. This is the second cut, if they become evasive and non-committal, we thank them for their interest and move on. If the guy follows through and meets with us, we’ll confirm verbally there is a connection and ask for his cellphone number. If he has nothing to hide, (like an unsuspecting wife maybe) he’ll give us the number, then we’ll discuss and agree a date and time to do the deed. The last step is to ask him to book the hotel room and send us the confirmation. This is the third and (usually) final cut, if the guy really wants to get naked with my wife, (and who wouldn’t, lol), he’ll agree and make the financial commitment. By the way I always offer to pay half when he shows up at the hotel. This new strategy is still not guaranteed to work 100% of the time, but our success rate to actually meet people has increased substantially, resulting in a greater likelihood of there being a happy ending for all involved!

Ok, so to those single guy emails, seriously, just putting a few here for a little light relief, if you do happen to be the author of one of the not so good ones and are offended, just let me know and I'll get right on removing it, maybe, perhaps..
By the way I just copied and pasted these, no edits except those necessary to protect identities, my comments are in italics.

Not even sure where to begin with this one, lots of content but try reading it, and yikes, we're so creeped out.
Having "raw wild inhibited sex" doesn't sound like too much fun either, lol..
