Ghosting

Alpharetta, GA, Us

I’ve been doing well, Sir.

And yep, I finished in May, 2019...but have more that I’m going to embark on as soon as this present situation calms down enough for things to be realistic in terms of enrolling.

Always good to drop in and see good people like yourselves keeping up the good fight.

Best wishes from us both.

I am still (eagerly) waiting to hear the details of what happened with the stripper and her roommate when you got to their place...

What the literal Fok! Lol

Come on Fokker...you know Tramps got an incredibly short attention span and all.

Can you give a poor hobo a paragraph break or three here?

Ironically the OP has ghosted this thread...

When we initially got on here, we were approached by a couple. From the beginning we really knew it was going to go nowhere. They weren’t really our type but we decided to use it as a ‘learning’ experience. They were new - slightly not so new as we would find out over dinner. We talked and they asked if we wanted to go out again to a strip club. We were like sure. The female was extremely paranoid about being seen out to dinner with another couple (apparently no one else but swingers do that <roll eyes>).
So we go out to a strip club with them, so she wouldn’t possibly be seen by her daughter’s boyfriend we went not to a club 30 minutes away because it was in the same town as the boyfriend, but to a club an hour away. Ok whatever... we get there Izzy and I are having a great time. Chatting and tipping with the dancers and we start to notice something is not right. We are sitting around talking, watching... and Izzy is trying to get my attention. I look over and the other husband is staring at Izzy and trying to hold and stroke her hand. I’m like — ok... the wife is looking and she doesn’t look all that ‘happy’. Now.. kind you I wasn't attracted to her at all and her paranoia wasn’t adding to anything that would make me want to start making out with her. I looked at Izzy and said ooo look at that dancer, grabbed her and we went to some seats by the front of the stage. She was like thank you and the dancer asked what happened and we explained how we were on a swinger date but we are really not into them and we think they are fighting or something. The dancer laughed. Said tell them I told you to hang out till they closed so she could take us home to have fun with her roommate and her. We all got a chuckle out of there and I got a chubbie because she was kind of hot.
We go back to our seats and it looks like we might have broken up an argument. Half hour later I see an old hoss walk in. He didn’t see me but I pointed out to the group and immediately she wants to leave...ok it’s 1am I guess time to leave.

Ride home I’m cracking jokes and then she asks if we would want to go out again? We’re like sure text us. Next weekend she texts and we make an excuse, she kept texting. We decided since we weren’t into them, Nothing was going to change and she wasn’t relenting and we didn’t want to just say “hey we’re not into you at all, so let’s go our separate ways” we decided it was best to just ghost them.

In hind thoughts we should have been honest with them. We both feel like shit for ghosting but at the time it just made sense to us. Don’t judge....

"So, they are very Sensitive and careful about what they say and photos that they allow others to see. "

That's not what this post was about. It was a single guy complaining about flakes, but his profile was all about sex and if I remember correctly his default photo featured his dick, so he was likely attracting more than fair share of fantasizing guys rather than actual couples.

Something no one mentions very much, if at all, is that a great number of people
who are members of SLS and are professionals. So, therefore, many of the people they work with may be members of SLS as well. People do not want to be identified either by what they say here in the forums or by photos that might be available to see in their profiles. So, they are very Sensitive and careful about what they say and photos that they allow others to see. It is as simple as that. I find it difficult to understand why other members don’t seem to realize this.

Perhaps other folks here don’t really care about this, but I do.

GGMM nailed it: I like seeing "normal" activities, because it gives me an idea of the type of things we can talk about. I'm not "above" having fuck buddies, but it seems more relaxed if we have something to talk about besides sex.

It happens. There are far too many people here who are swingers only in their fantasies, which includes making dates they don't show up to.

However, you could probably change your audience some by featuring photos of yourself clothed. I know it sounds counterintuitive, but especially if you're a man relying on others contacting you you're more likely to interest real couples by being less of an object.

I wouldn't feel disrespected, or think about people ghosting much at all...

If they ghost you, you probably would not want to spend time with them anyway...
