Flakes

Again, this whole subject hasn't been an issue for us except for the last 2 years. I guess we've been rather lucky.
Most recent was a guy that I chatted with over a 2 week span. Even went against my own rule of facetiming 1 evening with him. Btw, I HATE doing facetime with a guy I don't know! Feels so awkward. I'd rather meet someone face to face to talk, flirt & get to know them.
We chat 2 more days... all seems good and a good sexual connection. We arrange to meet on a Saturday eve & Boom, he's a no-show! Doesn't answer text or phone call. Nothin on SLS messenger either. We look at his profile & it shows an entirely different city/location. 2 days later, another location. POSER!!

I will add that he was rather "cocky" and I'm not just saying his personality... if you know what I mean! ;-)

You can weed out a lot of flakes pretty quickly usually, just use your head and demand whatever it is you need to confirm the people

We have dealt with people flaking as well. We live a busy life like most adults. Work, family, hobbies, etc. So when we take time to plan something we expect others to do the same.

People flaking adds to the struggles to find people to hangout with. At times, the LS feels like a chore, which is why we regularly take long breaks from it.

We think, that like all of life, there exist the outstanding people, and they are few.

We've enjoyed and been blessed to meet great SMs in the lifestyle and have had a lot of fun. We've had to wade through a bunch of frogs to find a few princes. The princes have really been worth it, as they are gentlemanly, erotic, and truly enhance the marital bed.

But it seems the LS has been taken over by a few societal ills, which won't be fixed on sls. The macro issues afoot are:

-Poor manners and even poorer conversation skills: Even older guys with experience seem difficult during conversation. We have tried with guys who meet our physical likes to help them converse. For some it is impossible. Have you ever seen a MILF try to tease out the details of a naturally aspirated Chevy small block rebuild from a guy who cannot form sentences? It's funny if it wasn't such a waste of time. She doesn't even like talking about cars.

-Hookup apps: Apps have ruined the best aspects of the lifestyle, and that is, for us, dating quality people who feel free and loving enough to share with others. For many men, LS ladies or couples are just another hit it and forget it dating app hookup. This behavior leaves most people dry and feeling used. We're not trying to marry you but show some respect! Show some passion! Show some regard for this wonderful woman willing to share herself with you!

-Sad sack men: He's 50. He's divorced once or twice. She took him to the cleaners and he's down on life. He's living in an efficiency apartment and struggles to buy dinner. And yet, he thinks he can bed a hot MILF with the "sad story act." We've been bored to tears on "dates" with guys like this in 2023-24. The image that comes to mind is "Droppy" the comically depressed dog. We're not without compassion. We all have tragedy in our lives, we just choose not to share it on dates with others.

-Overweight, out of shape: If your belly hides the golden horn, we can't play. Sorry.

-Creepers: We've also had the proverbial married and creeping, married and fake hall pass, and no-shows from supposed single guys. This is frustrating beyond words, especially in our area where traffic dictates everything you do. We no longer waste time waiting for guys. On time or we leave. You have 10 minutes max, oh, and we need to talk to your wife to verify.

With all this real negativity above, the men who make in onto the roster are great guys all around: accomplished, mannerly, erotic, and fit. I think we couples and single ladies need to accept that the number of quality players is limited. We really appreciate the guys we have and they know who they are.

Single men...check out the forum on here where ladies and couples tell you exactly the steps to be successful! It just works.

For couples seeking SMs...we think chatting once or twice on sls, then meeting in person to assess them is the only way to do it efficiently.

“ Looking back over the last 3 years we have been flaked on 31 of 40 tries to meet SMs”

Lissalookin,
Those are shocking numbers! I wonder if where you live (in the middle of almost nowhere) is a factor, although you aren’t too far from Cincinnati which has an active LS community.

Ms.Lissa is a cutie, and super nice, so your problem is a real head scratcher.

Well, if you get desperate, send her back down to our house anytime.

Maybe I'm just a weird SM, but if a couple ever wanted to meet me first, just , let's meet and see what happens, I would gladly do it. I wouldn't even look at their profile first.

Dry Ridge, KY, Us

Looking back over the last 3 years we have been flaked on 31 of 40 tries to meet SMs. We are thankful we have found 2 regular, dependable guys for get together and do not have to depend on looking on site all the time. Was always the same endless chatting, after putting all the time into it, some would cancel but most just would not bother to show which are the worst of them. Will never understand why they go to all the trouble to get their jolly's when there 100s of free porn sites out there...

I have become ruthless, and I would suggest that as the way to go,

My dating rule is we meet after three interactions.

It's the same dynamic here.

I can be compassionate of situations, but time is the one resource we don't get back, I want to spend it with quality people.

West Liberty, KY, Us

We have only been on this site for a couple months now and have already had this happen several times. We talk to a guy for a while, he seems interested so we make plans to meet but then when it actually comes time to meet they cancel at the last minute or just completely stop messaging. I really don't understand why these people pay for an account on here just to lie and flake on people with no intention of actually meeting.

Mandeville, LA, Us

Good couples are hard to find , i dont do endless chat , i have always been on time and ready to be avaliable . The guys/ ladies who flake are taking up the good couples with time i could have had. I want to play

"Chatting forever"

Yep. On dating apps, women often want to chat forever.

Thus I have severe boundaries in discussion. I've had enough time wasted.

I think a lot of people are just into the thought of it.
So many people just want to chat forever.
Real life is just too scary.
Try guys that can't find anybody to even reject them in their area, like me. They will show up out of desperation.
I have been here for three years and only have two rejections. One was because they left the lifestyle.
I would show up for a 300Lb midget.

Just seems to be the norm anymore we got stood up 3 times in a week and a half, now she just thinks it is her .

It's been observed for some time.

People are disposable, Relationships are disposable. Words have no meaning. One's word is meaningless.

I don't know the solution, save culture itself decides that shit should matter.

Potomac Falls, VA, Us

Thankyou BJmax, I'm married playing solo and I've never flaked, ghosted, or lied to potential playmates. The problem is that when single guys do this, they create a lot of drama and problems for those of us out here that are legitimate. I've had couples attempt to make me, and my wife jump through hoops for validation because they've been lied to by single guys. I've even been asked to bring my wife out to meet a couple to validate my permission just because they've had drama with single males. My wife will always validate my permission over the phone. Question, if you have trust issues with singles, how is that my wifes problem to resolve for you? I get it, it's a waste of time to get burned, I understand, I drove a distance one time to be catfished, but I don't transfer that encounter to every other person that I correspond with. I rarely respond to post here but I'm passionate about honesty. However, there is always some smartass who knows more than everyone else on here that will have something, they think is cute, to respond to a very serious topic.

Seymour, TN, Us

Yes, unfortunately that is the new norm. Lots of chatting and saying they want to meet and then poof they are gone. This has happened more in the last year then all the other years combined

What's the deal with single guys (or at least say that they are single) flaking out on actually meeting. We've played in the lifestyle for the last 21 years. Have used SLS almost exclusively (with decent luck) and in the last 2 years have run into more no-shows & flakes!
Married guys.. you are so much more reliable! ;-)
