Manners are something that we are (or should be) taught from a young age. Most of us are well-mannered in every other interaction with people eg work, family, vanilla friends etc Why should it be any different here?
We pride ourselves on the fact that we do read EVERY profile of every person who mails and/or winks at us. We answer all mails and/or winks of profiles which fit our description of whom we will respond to. We only ignore those who blatantly have ignored our request not to be contacted by them.
PS: To Phil, if you have the time, please read our profile and let us know if you find it ambiguous in any way?
We so agree with you, Phil. Our profile states exactly want we want, and whom we would like to meet. In our almost 2 years on the site we learned to spot profiles to avoid. We still try to answer every single mail we get...even the ones that says "would you like to fuck?"...even if it's just to give the guys a piece of our mind. Sad that some guys must screw up stuff for the nice guys...
When we were still looking for playmates, our profile clearly stated that we were only interested in people in Gauteng, preferably Jhb, and what ages we were comfortable playing with.
Despite the clear profile write up, and the sentence "if you are outside of this age range and want to play, we will not respond to your messages" we got bombarded by men outside of this age range, who aparently had not learnt how to scroll down to read the "about" section on the profiles they are looking at.
A few of these people sent a few messages, until we sent one back saying that they are outside of our age range, but if they had read our profile, they would know that.
Sorry if this comes across as bitchy, but it gets really tiring having to wade through so many messages from people who hadn't taken the time to read our profile. I felt that it wasn't worth taking the time to reply to them.

Inclined to feel for Phil. Having been a single male naturist for the best part of 40 years I know all about the discrimination. (note, single female naturists are ALLWAYS welcome somehow).
But it seems that an awful lot of couples have had endless shit with single males (and dogs) over the years to cause them to react like that. Maybe, as single males who are not likely to be hit on by single males, we dont fully realise what is out there.
To the couples I say, live with it, its going to happen, on a site like this that allows any type of flea-infested potential serial molester with a computer and adsl line (like me?) to register as easily as it is.
I'm sure the systems allow you to block for ever, all single males (and dogs) that get up your nose.
Unfortunately a lot of guys see the swinging lifestyle as a way to get a quick lay. I know of a few cases where single guys meet a couple and then proposition the lady for affairs etc behind her partner's back. Yrs, I fully understand their frustration when it comes to dealing with single guys and I empathise with them.
However, bitching and moaning about single guys when your profile is ambiguous, now that is just stupid.
Phil
Our profile says no single men but yet they still try their luck and every time a person has to try and be polite in saying no we only deal with married cpls or the miss guider single lady that comes our way.
not just do the single guys just try and have an affair behind the husbands back, but they become very nasty if the lady says NO not behind her husbands back. they also think they can handle the lady like a whore and handle her rough with NO respect

This was not a good ride
Phil
I agree on the last part of your statement. i just think some time when the people fill in their profile they some times do get confused on what is been asked.
But that is me now playing devils advocate

trying to make the best of things
I think you made a good suggestion, but out of expierence you can answer every mail from people but assure you that will take some time. Because a new couple profile holder, and have some pics on make it worse, received alot of those mails.
Yes thats a problem that the couple add differ from what he they looked for, the reason is that they give some attention to there add but tick the boxes without thinking.
But to asked the mods to looked at that are asking the impossible they did not have the time to scrutinise each and every profile. Something that will help are to approved every profile in the beginning but SH did not have that in place.
But think the profile holder have a respossibility to read a profile very carefull before contact a person, then there will be mush more people who will whant and make contact and reply on such members mail.
Beware if you had pic's on your profile.
:idea:
I would love to meet couples (that are looking for single males) to prove to them that I will stick with their rules and wishes and become best friends
There are people that can vouch for me!
:smitten:
You totaly right the single was never wrong on the site, they have problems finding there own women, its easier to try and screw the wife of a couple
All of you are making good statements.... What gets me everytime I have a look at a single guy's profile, is those ones who tick the "Gay female" or Gay female couple" block!
Now seriously....when the lady is Bi, ya she might be intrested, but gay! Surely they should realise than that those ladies won't really be intrested in a man? I get the feeling those usually are the gents who are simply looking for a quick f*ck and not the FWB part we most enjoy.
I think I wanna RE-POST my deleted forum of * My SATIRE`s VIEW on profiles and swing.*
it will go so nicely with this forum topic.
@ E_N
I always laugh when I see the males Tick of that they would love to play with a lesbian couple or a lesbian.
they most certainly then do not know that any gay lady would never let a man watch them have sex,what to say have sex with them.....
But I also do know it is a great fantasy for MOST men to watch gay ladies at play, and then you do get your Neanderthal male who think any gay lady just needs to have sex with him, and she will not be a lesbian anymore or ever again.
Ok, so I've started to ask couples to check their profiles should I see that their "looking for" and "About" sections are not matching.
I've had a nice couple actually thanking me for pointing that out as they didn't realise it! Now call me ignorant, but don't people look at their own profiles every now and then? Or don't you double check your profile after you've submitted it?
I think that when you join a web site most just tick anything to get started. They then don't go back and change to what exactly
They are looking for.
This all sounds as if single men are not wanted
Although I am here alone my wife does have threesomes with me and for her I look for single men and try to get them together
If a single man is well mannered, polite, attractive and above all well hung I will introduce him to my wife and then it is up to him to seduce her and hopefully he is a good lover as well
This has worked for years
So there is place for single men
I do believe that if one mails another person and you are not interested then have the common decency of
Replying back and say that you acknowledge the message but that you aren't interested. If I mailed
Someone and they reply saying they're not interested, I wont be offended. It also stops the repeating messages
To the same couples or singles and then they think you a stalker.
I want to have this one as an example "Kan ons jul fotos sien groot asb!" thats the first mail received, what must we make of it, the sender did not chat or mail at any time must we send a mail back waisting our time or what. For intrust it is a couple
I would never send a mail like that and think the receiver must take time to reply. Hope i received a good answer
