My experiences tell me... The SM who are most successful in the LS have the same social skills necessary to be successful in the bar scene. For the successful (and fun) ones it is not just about getting laid. The chase, the flirting, providing joy, the parties all make up part of the LS that is very different than what I see in the singles bar/dating world. Once you have partied in the LS... the bar scene is just not as edgy.
imagine...… "I met this smoking hottie last night.... and her Husband bought me a drink and said we should go dance". Just doesn't happen in a typical bar.
