I wish I had been more active on this site in the "good old days" - I've been registered for 5 years now (first as a single, now as part of a couple) and have yet to meet anyone in person (have found plenty of fake profiles though, and people who pretend to want to meet up in order to exchange photos).
My partner and I are new to properly exploring this scene and are finding it reeeeally hard to meet people. At parties people are more interested in fucking than talking (I prefer talking THEN fucking), and amongst our (monogamous) friends, people are freaked out by the fact that we want to see/sleep with other people. So we just don't talk to anyone about it. We are finding the whole experience really isolating.
If anyone has any recommendations (for better sites, better parties, or just a place to be social with like-minded, non-judgmental people) please feel free to drop me a line. Any tips/encouragement would go a long way.
Happy swinging.
