| No shows :( |
We want to know if this is a common occurence or not. We posted a social get together for couples and select singles. So we get alot of people interested and asking to join the party, only to have most of all not show up or even respond to the original emails. Is this common pratice? |

| As you get to know the people in your area, you will find out who you can count on to show up (or be honest enough to tell you if they cannot). From there you can begin to find a group of people that you know you can get together with and have a good time. |

Haven't really had the experience of hosting a big party in the U.S., but did parties fairly regularly in Europe for a few years before moving to Miami. There were NUMEROUS no-shows from the SDC scene. The trick is not to put all your eggs in one basket since SDC folks can be a fickle bunch...lol. Many of them always wanted to know who else from SDC was specifically coming. It is better to do network with folks from a few different venues and not limit yourself to one specific web group. Go out to the lifestyle clubs, parties, meet-n-greets, etc...and just network. You build a rapport with folks that way, they are less likely to renege on one of your parties if you have some kind friendly relationship with them. Distance could have played a part with the Euro no-shows sometimes...gas was VERY high...they would LOVE to have our gas prices in the U.S.

| Perhaps by luck, we have not had any problems with the guest list showing up. Always 85-90 % in attendance. We do however, as much as we can, try to invite a variety of people who may find things interesting and intriguing. We pride ourselves in bringing all walks of people together. Even our best of friends who we love dearly as they do us, would eventually expect more. Rightfully so. More is what makes this Lifestyle so intoxicating. So as you move forward open your guest list, go outside the box ( not too far ), experience the wonderful joys of the many pleasures that different cultures have to offer. Then and only then, will you truly be exposed to what we believe is " The Lifestyle " xoxo Will and Bo |

| We give a swing party about every monty and have been very dissapointed how often people do not answer messages or not show up when they have said they would. Single women have been the worst offenders, followed by couples and single guys. So, after one time, we drop them from our invite list. After three years, we have a fairly good list of folks who are responsive and show up when they say they will. |

| We have found that there is a 50% attrition rate on parties we host. |

SexyLakes, I would like to start by saying, that anyone invited to play with this sexy lady, and not showing up, is an idiot, no exceptions. :-)
That being said, we are of the opinion that most people, on such site, are flakes, fakes, or both. You should generally focus your attention on those with sufficient validations, but even then, sadly, all kind of things appear to comeup, maybe because many couples are not always in synch, and one or the other maybe prone to opt-out, when the moment of truth, arrives.
FWIW, let me share my observation, that couples that also play with Single Males, and have such validations, in our experience are less likely to be a no-show. Maybe because these are the couples where the female part is just as interested in play time, as her male counterpart. With the bulk majority, on the other hand, it is the opposite, i.e. it is, of course, A-OK, to play with a single female, even when straight, but never with a single male. With such a double standard being the norm, is it really any wonder, that so many wives are not that intrested in swinging, and so, frequently, bail out, on their husbands (and thus on you too), at the last minute? |

Yes. It happens a lot here. I (we) posted several parties. We had 5, 8 even 10 couples confirmed, according to the number of people I would buy drinks, snacks, flatwear, condoms. Also, according to the number of people, I would book a room or a suite at a nice hotel.
The last party, I booked the suite at the Crown Plaza in Sawgrass. Huge two room suite, great living dining room with a nice counter and kitchen area, then a normal size bedroom and bath. I expected 12 people to show up. Tired of waiting (nobody showed up) we went accross the street for dinner. In the middle of dinner, the phone rings. One couple showed up. They came up to the restaurant (Memorable and sexygreeneyes in my validations). Shortly after, another couple calls, this couple we knew from before, and had a great time with them (no name here, they are in the validations around August 2009). They too joined us for dinner.
So, the six of us decide to go to the hotel. But only 4 of us got there............ the third couple said they were going to buy some drink and never showed up. And please, not that anybody was not easy on the eyes.......... Go figure!!!
Nice to take it off the chest Thank you. |
