Why is it that so many people don't have the courtesy to keep a date..... also why do so many people not even have the courtesyto reply to your message
The thing that I cant understand is almost every one over the age of, um 10 has a damn phone tied to their soul 24/7 and puts 40 things a day on some sort of site yet they cant quite figure out how to text ya and say something better has come up so sorry no go.
Or even a dont bother, not that hard, but it happens all the time to some people.
Just make it a date with your wife and make the best out of it and forget the ones that shined ya, unlessunless it was me and I totally ment to call but I was in a strait jacket and they would not let me have my phone to call so sorry but next time for sure OK.
I make a date we keep it, we wish others was the same.
I agree with Bosslady !!! It doesn't take long for a message . But I also understand where MAPARTY is coming from ,, Sometimes as people we do forget !!

Yeah, and while I understand the no response ones, maybe they aren't interested, maybe they missed the message, who knows? It's really a lot nicer to send an answer, even a negative one, but at least a lack of response doesn't cause someone else's plans to get screwed up. But I don't get the make a date and then just don't show up thing. Damn it, if you make a commitment to someone you need to keep it. Sometimes something might come up so you can't be there, but when that happens you need to let them know. Like Krazygirl said, everyone has a phone and knows how to send texts. When you don't, and you don't even bother to let them know, you're screwing with their lives, which is NOT cool. ~ Terry

Yep...what she said. Always been one of our pet peeves. We don't even care why..just so sorry..not coming works!!
the main thing I was asking about is when you make a date with someone they don't have the courtesy to show upand they don't call I mean how hard is it to send a text saying sorry something came up can't make it what I was saying about a message is if you send someone a messageand in short say we are interested are you and they respond and say yes we are interested letget together and meet then you text them back and say OK when and where is convenient and good for you and then you never hear back I'm sorry that is just rude
When we started swinging there was no internet....not like today where it takes a few seconds to find someone you want to fuck and shoot off an email or a friend request. We had to find a magazine with ads for swingers (at an adult book store), write a letter, probably include a Polaroid pic with the letter and mail it and wait for a reply...which didn't always come. So I guess we kind of were conditioned to not really worry about it too much especially once internet swinging happened and it didn't take so much work to reach out. Now it takes so little effort to contact potential playmates that many people often spam out large numbers of emails in a shotgun approach or do the same with friend requests. We've, sadly, gotten to the point in our swinging career where we DON'T respond to blind friend requests or emails that are obviously sent to multiple people (no mention specifically of us or our profile). We used to respond but found that at least half the time we then got no response in return so we assumed the senders got a BBD (bigger, better deal) and were no longer interested. We really don't get our panties in a wad over it. I kind of look at it like an unsolicited spam email from someone wanting to clean my carpets. I really don't feel a great need to respond even though it would be the POLITE thing to do. Although I am seriously considering writing back to that Nigerian prince who wants to give me a million bucks.

That said, blowing someone off after making plans to meet is a douchecopter move and (barring a REALLY good excuse proffered in a timely manner) will quckly get someone on our permanent no fly list. Yup, we're assholes that way.
Unfortunately there are flakes in this lifestyle. Been stood up more than once. I think the worst was a couple that texted me with a "hey we're on our way be there in 15", but never showed up...
She texted me two days later and said that they changed their minds. wtf?!
Yep, lotsa flakes in this world and not just the lifestyle. We pretty much have a one strike and you're out policy. IF, like I said, they proffer a plausible excuse for flaking...in a timely manner, we will give them another chance but otherwise they're off our Xmas card list for GOOD!
