Pineapples

Should have gone with the linguica...

BT

Not pineapple, but pin - I wore the gold SLS pin around a Stop & Shop store in Dartmouth MA. Variables changed: pin, not pineapple; different store, different day (Tuesday), different time (noon). No apparent recognition - not a smile, nod, wink, hello. Nada. As BT would likely say: if you're over 50 it's NOT the pin.

Wodin- upside down is what I'm doing.

Please, tell us more!

Oh, and think about getting a few links of linguica to tie around your pineapple like a necklace.

BT, so many questions, so many research designs. I have, btw, ordered a pineapple sticker for my car. Question is: do I put it on upside down.

On a lighter, but relevant note, you (and others) might be interested in "theupsidedownpineapple" Swinger, Lifestyle

No, but perhaps these are instances where no response (to your pineapple display) IS a response? Wodin should probably add a questionnaire to his research to mine that out.

BT

BT, I'm ready to allow it's not the pineapple. But ... time of day might be a predictor variable. When, I wonder, are shopping swingers most horny? Lunch time? Early evening?

Good Idea! Maybe I'll start taking it to work. Got some hunnys there that I have always been curious about.

So the pineapple knows how old we are and is not cooperating on purpose?

Yup. Just fucking around.

Just to be clear though, every guy over 50 should know that it’s definitely NOT the pineapple.

Maybe wait til the summer and carry a pineapple while you walk on Horseneck Beach?

Oh, and if you’re able to determine anything through your research, I’ll nominate you for a Noble, which is different than a Nobel. Basically, it means you’re noble...a mensch...which for a single guy is about the best compliment you can ever receive.

BT

BT - I know you're being (a tad) facetious but all great experiments have to start somewhere. If the upside-down pineapple works will you nominate us for a Nobel?

Young2Ginger - let us know .... tingling with anticipation!

I'm going to try the pineapple experiment now. Maybe try different times of the day, and just throw one in or cart when we're traveling to see what happens.
Coos Bay, Oregon; local population is about 25,000

Maybe in a baby stroller or dragged behind you in a little red radio flyer wagon?

BT

When you cart around a pineapple in places where people can buy pineapples, no one is going to give it a second glance. Maybe start taking one everywhere you go instead. Someone is sure to notice then.

0 for 2 for a couple of mid-50’s - 60’s year old guys?? Definitely the pineapple’s fault ;-)

BT

Leave the arugula. Take the pineapple

Just got back from Sams Club doing the same thing. Covered the place twice and not so much as a glance or over the shoulder look.

Always blame the pineapple.

BT

So ... 3 PM today at Shaw's, Dartmouth MA, I placed a pineapple upside down, clearly visible, in my cart. Walked slowly all around the store, picking up items, leaving the pineapple clearly visible. Not so much as a hint of recognition, not a smile, not a wink! So many variables ... was it me? The pineapple (organic)? Shaws? Dartmouth? The time of day? That it was Sunday? I may have to apply to the National Science Foundation for a research grant.

We have black rings, and it's been nurtured by a few people. Some of which knew our naughty secret anyway. I put one each in gift exchange bags and the symbolism was discussed.
I think I'll get a pineapple sticker for my car. And put it by my aanr "Right to bare arms, legs, torsos..." sticker. That should get some results!

(Before the pandemic outbreak...) In my yoga class, during a downward dog, I noticed that the woman who always lined up behind me had started to sport a gold anklet. I was a bit distracted and my mind was wandering... and after class commented how nice it was. But nothing further materialized... never saw her shopping for pineapples either.

I found a vixen necklace that matches her anklet. Will probably get it for her. We go to resorts where some of our friends are vanilla and we try to keep a low profile. With that vixen, she can just say she likes foxes (which is true). I think quite a few swingers know what it means.

LOL Gators!!!
Yes I think we meant gaiter, or sleeve, I'm still laughing at the thought of alligators balancing upside down pineapples
MusicalPair, I am sure the charm looks amazing on her!!

Sexy Nova; I bought my wife a Hotwife anklet. Only noticed by a couple of her FWB's. Then, I made her a Hotwife charm necklace. Much more noticeable, but she will only wear it on dates, so it still isn't seen by the general public. Ah well. I don't blame her. Still fun!

It does seem like the pineapple thing is getting pretty popular. I'm seeing it more often on swinger oriented site/group logos, car/rv stickers and on logo LS clothing.

I bought her an anklet with a vixen charm as a subtle hint to other swingers. Don't know how well it works because it's small and way down on her foot. Plus lots of vanilla women wear anklets now. I'm thinking of getting her a LS necklace to be more noticeable.
