"Why 'special times'? 1) as you say, venues are busy and expensive and 2) folks have other things to do. " Because everyone likes the socials when they are themed around these times they are always popular | |||
"Why 'special times'? 1) as you say, venues are busy and expensive and 2) folks have other things to do. Because everyone likes the socials when they are themed around these times they are always popular " That sounds a bit like 'things are the way they are because they are the way they are'. I have the highest regard for those who undertake organising socials/ balls etc. I wouldn't do it for a free shag, but I sometimes wonder if there isn't a bit of blinkered thinking about the whole thing. | |||

"Having been site members for over 5 years now and have attended something like 15 socials all of which have been fantastic with varied venues, locations and themes. alas though we are sadly begining to think that socials have had their day as far as big venues and lots of people attending with lunches and drinks nights now being the way things are going. Is it just us or do others feel likewise and do you think at some point socials will take off again " no, dont say that,,,lol we have been here nearly 3 yrs and believe it or not we have never attended a large social, but are doing so before the new year. so fingers crossed its a cracking experiance. why not come along, see how it feels???? | |||

"..........why not 50/100 ive done for smaller too" You've explained why yourself.

"not been to a drinks night after last one we were at........ my wife saw a vanilla couple she knows so after they waved to her she went over and had a chat...... shortly after they left the pub when someone who was pissed went over and asked them what their swinging name was and how long they been on the site ..... ma wife's not seen or spoke to them since .... so if we were to attend another social it would be private venue and not just a pub gathering " | |||

"Come on ppl too much negativity!
Lighten up and support the ppl that are trying to do good things for fab and it's members. "Thats the whole point leggz its all about bringing people together in a relaxed happy atmosphere,i love arranging the socials, i love bringing people together and i love sitting back on the night and seeing people mixing and making new friends and just having such a fun nite out | |||
"i'm quite surprised by some of the comments on this thread. organising a social must be time consuming,mega hassle,and now worrying,why anybody does it,is beyond me,but happy days,they do. socials are not compulsory,so if you don't fancy it,don't go. if you want,a different kind of social,organise one.don't whine about the the kind of socials people do organise,and many people do enjoy. as for people saying socials have had their day,and they're not as good,bull. going out and having a good time,is not someone else's responsibility.if you go,and don't enjoy,maybe you should question your own attitude,rather than point the finger at someone else." very nicely put mate, socials is what people make it, bugger all to do with hosts, what events, what themes, can hold a social any time o year, and for socials going up on advance, easy answer is so people wanting to come can orginiese, hotels, sitters, holidays from work ,,, | |||

"surely as it is a forum it is open for discussion by all and everyone is free to post their thoughts whether they agree with topic or not .... just my opinion " yes true, but for people to post thats never been to one, or for people to condem them because of a few bad experances, socials ment to be fun, party, great night, enjoying getting a chance to let hair down with people who swing, and not hiding it or looking over a shoulder in a pub  | |||

"We have attended many socials over the years and they have all been great nights. Lets you meet other people and they are always a good laugh. Some folk mention the word clique but to me its not cliquey its just becuase folk who do go to socials get to know each other hence why they speak to each other more easily. The socials we went to have died a death due the the folk moving away or to bitchy comments which unfortunetly put the organisers off doing it. It is a lot of work for organisers to do this and my hat goes off to them. I am organising a social drinks evening next Sat in Edinburgh so anyone wishing to come its in the meets section. Drop me a PM if your interested. "is it in a pub, would love to go but works xmas night out, and also someone said special events christmas valentines, halloween lol, dont need special events for socials, just makes them interesting to dress up, socials can be held any time as just an excuse to party and dance n meet people, and we try our best to make sure there is no clique at socials, we try n get everyone involved, by doing things like fabindales, fabets, chubindales lolgreat laughs all around with a special event,,, | |||
"We have not ben to a social for over a year now due to most falling on the wrong dates for us but we were at a lot previously and they were all good nights and very well run even though we presume they were organised by so called amateurs and not professionals." am an amature lol
me just being me is a stand up comidian anyway as am stupid enough without even trying to be funny lol jan does the hard work, and no amature at the food department,

"..........why not 50/100 ive done for smaller too You've explained why yourself. When you get to those sort of numbers you get into finding a suitably sized venue, bookings, payments, Paypal and trying to keep the purpose secret. On the face of it, they're a disaster waiting to happens, as the Masked Ball showed." this is s bit of s one sided opinion and is because its your personal opinion which is fine. We have been to both large and smaller socials from Fab and another site. We have had great nghts and not so great nights; we have met life long freinds at socials. I think the point here is that there are large, organised socials, drinks nights in bars and lunches all on offer here and people choose which they would prefer to attend. We prefer the large, organised socials - but thats our preference and nice to be able to choose. Yes there is a risk of being "outed" but hey, everytime we send a pic to someone we run the risk. Politics and bitching are on every swingers site and in fact we left the site Atomic Raven refers to because the organisers started banning folks they didnt like, limited the amount of single guys, etc,. so would say our experience was not as good as Atomic's. We have been members of the Scotland chat room since it started and where we rarely had double figures chatting and have to say yes Fab has it's faults but in our opinion less than other sites. We love the socials and yes there are loads - but again we like the ability to choose which ones suit us. Hats off to those who organise them and you will know when they have reached the end of the road when folk stop going. See you all at the xmas social next week xx | |||

"and as was mentioned, no competitiveness at all "grrr | |||

But hey I think whoever takes on a social are brave. | |||

"just a thought ..maybe its the nit picking ,one upmanship and the play ground mentality of some " there socials better than yours " which may put people off socials .not the actual type of social or venue the event held . maybe less bitching and minding what others do and more just enjoying the events you want to attend in order . after all we are all adults capable of deciding what interests us and what doesnt or maybe i have too higher regard and faith in people . " | |||
" Politics and bitching are on every swingers site and in fact we left the site Atomic Raven refers to because the organisers started banning folks they didnt like, limited the amount of single guys, etc,. so would say our experience was not as good as Atomic's. nope you are spot on atomic we aint, but we were and left because of the reasons we quoted. glad this is not the case any more. we dont like the politics or the moaning so well done for what seem to be fun socials you arent on the same site as the socials im refering to, i know, cause you've never been to my shop to buy the tickets for them x" | |||
"hahahahaha merry christmas to you all stop fucking moaning and start fucking shagging make love not war ffs grow up and stop acting like kiddies with your comments lol once again happy christmas and hope the new year is a good one for you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxbrennie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" You too Bren Hun xxx | |||
