TOPIC: Mysteriously Vanishing Swingers

Created by: azcouple3127 Original Starting post for this thread:
I’m curious to see how many others are experiencing what we are. We keep running into the same scenario. After a few seemingly promising emails the other couple simply vanishes. I almost expect it from free members or those who have no certs but several times members who look very legit and who have sought us out first based on our profile suddenly stop responding to email or worse cancel a meeting at the last minute and are never heard from again. What gives? After an initial flurry of activity after first joining the site we haven’t been able to set up a successful meet in almost a year. Are we doing something wrong?

User Details are only visible to members.	I (male half here) will add that the first few months here were overwhelming regarding emails--and that was even with SMs blocked. I was lucky to have had a little previous experience here as a single guy, and so knew the ropes a bit, but we really got inundated when the couples' profile came up. Things dried up pretty quickly, though. We're kind of selective, and you can spot the BS artists and flybys pretty easily. Taking this stuff slow and easy is the way to go.

User Details are only visible to members.	We have the same issues with folks - and suspect we're doing the same with others. There is a lot of "life gets in the way" going on as well as the lack of easy to navigate email tools for msgs. With the number of messages we get or send each day it's hard to remember who is "it" (as in "tag, you're it") and owes the response. We do reply to everything we get and do try to follow up on firm planning attempts (like "does next Wednesday sound good?")...but if we send that and someone doesn't get back to us we figure that something has come up on their end or they've seen something they don't like so they're not interested anymore and are trying not to hurt our feelings by saying something like "we saw that pic of her spread out on the pole and that's so skanky we can't believe you'd ever think we'd want to play with you..." If we get a "we should get together sometime" type of reply, that may get lost because those are pretty noncommittal and hard to track. So we don't get too wound up about people vanishing....Except when they're setting a date and then make life hard. That does tend to happen more with guys - they're all set, you've made plans and then they say "7:30? Aw geez, I work until 11 is it ok if I stop by then?" after having multiple back & forths about having a drink at 7:30 so everyone can get comfortable with each other...then when you tell him, "no, 11 isn't okay" and he starts coming back like Let's Make a Deal...time to ignore and if he's a pest we block. Think lots of guys would like to do this but run rabbit when the opportunity to do it in real life arises.

Funny thing - just very recently, I've had FOUR single guys disappear on me, after a few nice e-mails, pictures were exchanged on SLS, supposed mutual interest was established, and after I tell them my free days to meet and ask them their schedule... Poof! Cease of communication. However, I see they are online daily. And I am talking all paid members, with pictures and certifications. Sure, these are not an absolute proof of a genuine person, but they do heighten the possibility, in my opinion... Not in these 4 cases. :( Yes, I know, life gets in the way. Or the wife, perhaps.

User Details are only visible to members.	We are having the same problem with single men. We e-mail people we are interested in, and have had some single men who are interested...but after a few e-mails and sharing a pic or two they vanish or say it's to far to drive when we had already asked them if it would be a problem and they said no. My husband and I are getting very frustrated with single men that seem to just want pictures or to have some sexy talk and then back out. Oh Well.

User Details are only visible to members.	No kidding, Islanders. We've seen quite a few whose pics do NOT match their actual appearances....Photos a couple of years old are one thing; college shots are quite another;) And to expand on my last comment, we've had two last-minute cancellations since my post. We're not that "aggressive" in the LS, either. Bottom line: Everyone needs to be on the same page here. Don't make commitments you can't keep; I'm beginning to think most folks on this site are lying. I realize we're not Brangelina, but come on.... Frustrating!

User Details are only visible to members.	This thread has been most helpful. We are a bit new to this and have had this happen to us and we were confused. Couples would contact us, we would look over their profile, things would seem OK, a meet or dinner was arranged and then bam, they disappear and, in one case, block us. Not that we really cared one way or another, but we just wondered what was going on. My wife and I mutually discuss everything before we proceed at all. Even the first reply to an e-mail (unless it is an obvious "not interested".) That can make us slow to respond to the first e-mail sometimes. Actually we have yet to meet anyone on this site. It has been helpful for us to find events though. Speaking of events. It is interesting how different people look in their pictures than they do in person. Are these pics 10 years old or what?

User Details are only visible to members.	In most cases we find with a couple that they are not both equally involved. Maybe they tossed around the idea and he made a profile and ran with it, then when the meet is set shes like "WOAH, wait a minute? We just kinda talked about it a bit" We have met a couple before where she had no idea why we were actually meeting, he figured once we had dinner and hung out "we could seduce her into it" I think with us personally, there is usually a less than above board reason why they dont meet or cancel at the last minute. We make it sooo easy and laid back. We generally have a "no play on first date" policy, unless they really want it. Its just meeting at a public place and having dinner. And we make it extremely clear there is no expectation beyond dinner. I can understand anxiety and cold feet, but the way we do it, there is no real legitimate reason not to meet us after we agree. Yes, life happens, things come up. But with the frequency that we get canceled on, we have heard the same excuses so many times that we honestly dont believe anyone anymore.

User Details are only visible to members.	The "vanishing couple" syndrome is pretty common here. We've arranged to meet a few couples at a meet and greet, and then they don't show up. Luckily, we haven't been stood up in a one-on-one meet, but it's fairly common, too. I agree with BR's comment that it's probably due to a case of the husband contacting the other couple, and then when the wife sees the pics, profile, etc., for some reason or other, it's a no-go. I think the best thing is to have the wife participate in the "screening" process as early on as possible so that you're both on the same page. And one other thing--if for some reason, there isn't a mutual attraction, the nice ting to do is to tell the couple so. Most of us are mature enough to handle rejection, for Pete's sake! :)

Because usually its very one sided. On the other hand, the SM's I have had chatted with prior to meeting it usually works out very well. PG
