A great horror movie is The Mist, a little gem of a movie that came out a couple of years ago. A small town is enveloped by a mysterious mist, trapping a number of people in the local supermarket. Bloody thirsty creatures are soon revealed to be roaming in the mist, while the occupants of the supermarket descend into paranoia and religious fervour.
A great film that doesn't rely on gore, with human behaviour being the scariest part (like all great horror movies). A tense, chilling and bleak film with a truly unsettling twist at the end!

I have that on dvd here as I was given it, thankfully, because I wouldn't have paid for it. I personally thought that film was complete and utter rubbish but that's my take on it, different strokes for different folks!
Jaysus Amber thanks for totally dissing one of my favourite horror flicks!:upset::grin:
I'm here banging on about how scary it is and you say it's rubbish!
Geesh!
Still, you're getting top marks for mentioning Pet Cemetary, another Stephen King classic!:thumbup:
Anyone think The Fog (the original not the remake) is a good one? Especially the start with a good old fashioned ghost story around the campfire
A very interesting and informative thread...
Sorry for posting on your thread girls.
I would have every sympathy for the girls and the complaints they have, I would hate to be a girl on this site and be constantly hassled in the ways they have described. Some of the behaviour I have witnessed from fellow single guys in the chatrooms has left me flabbergasted, dumbfounded, laughing/weeping into my keyboard and considering a vow of celibacy!:lol2:
I find it interesting the contrasting experiences that different people have on this site: for couples/females it seems to be a bombardment of cock pics and whispers. My own experience as a single guy is completely different, ie. a deathly silence, all quiet on the Western Front.:yawn:
In my time here I have received four PMs (and three of them were from admin!, one from a weirdo). I'm not telling a sob story and I'm not looking for sympathy,:violin: I'm just trying to explain how it is for single guys. Titan advised on the General Conduct On Site thread that the more effort you put into genuinely getting to know people the more you will get out of the site. I would have to hold my hand up and say I 've been a little bit lazy on this score and as a result I have ended up isolated and bored. This is mostly due to shyness on my part and I get the feeling there is a small but committed band of genuine single guys in a similar position on this site. Meet and greets are a great idea in theory but most meets have a waiting list of single guys a mile long.
Other threads have prescribed the chatroom as a remedy to the single guy stigma. But I'd agree with igziabeher, it's hard to stand out in the crowded chatrooms.
It can be very hard to engage with people in chat... I mean what to talk about? It's a very thin line between getting to know you chit chat and asking people for details they would rather not reveal (where they are from, were they working today etc.) Asking where they are from seems to be a no no. So what then... the weather?
Overall a great thread, well done to Eden for posting it and sorry for whinging. Now that we have had a thread on what NOT to do, maybe some of the ladies could give a few tips on what us guys should be doing?

This is a thread for the many amazing, gorgeous, funny, witty, intelligent, charming and sexy men out the in the world of swing4ireland who have yet to be discovered!
Great post Desdemona!
Amazing? (well, I do try):hunk:
Gorgeous? (emmm...)
Funny? (ha ha ha ha...no):dry:
Witty? (more pity then witty):uhoh:
Intelligent? (Intelliwhat?):-?
Charming and sexy? (on this site? are you sure?)
I haven't asked to attend any meet & greets as yet so maybe my thoughts aren't really valid. Here are a couple of things that might affect my thinking tho.
How would you identify fellow site members? You can hardly walk up to what is essentially a total stranger and say : Hi, I'm Slowhands, you must be Desdemona or Sherri or XXX. What if you have the wrong person? (Having said that, can't really expect site members to wear name tags either!)
What should you talk about? Boring chatter about the weather or the journey to the meet? Would that be irritating to an established swinger? So what's the alternative, start flirting straight away?
I think what effects a lot of the young guys on this site is nerves, and taking the huge step of revealing yourself in public. Speaking for myself, I can't walk up to a girl in a pub and talk to her (even with drink on board :cheers
, let alone “sexually confident†swingers. Ok, laugh at the nervous new guy if you must, but I think it's a sad reflection on the Irish dating scene. Us guys rarely approach the people we fancy in a confident manner, instead falling back on drunken fumblings. Going from that to actually showing your face at a meet and greet and thereby identifying to yourself and everyone else you are a swinger?
Frankly I've been astonished at the number of males, females and couples who have revealed their faces on this site, either through pictures or webcams. Where do you get the balls to do that?:scared: There's a huge volume of people passing through this site (and at the meet and greets) that never become established members of the community, who don't become trusted fellow swingers, and you show your face to them?
Maybe some of the more experienced site members could post about their first meet & greet experience and how it went?
I would also be interested to hear if any of the established members have ever been recognised/identified as a swinger. I know there's an argument that if anybody recognises you it's because they have been on this site too, but surely, sooner or later, rumours leak out into the wider community where you live?
