Me (M51) and my wife (F45) are in our rookie season. We joined the LS abt. 2 months ago, made a paid subscription to a couple-swapping specific website, met some interesting couples in vanilla dinners, been to a club (didn't like it too much), and had finally a first (satisfactory) full-swap encounter.

But, hey, what a hard job..! Fake couples, fake pictures, people that after long chats simply disappears, people that isn't yet ready to get into the lifestyle. We are investing a lot of efforts and spare time in this thing, but at today we can say that every 10 promising connections, only 1 or 2 are a good match that lends to a sexual encounter.

Just to clarify, we are an average looking couple, physically in good shape, with few boundaries... but seems that this world is full of weird, dishonest, childish people...

You'd say that joining events or clubs could be an easier way.. but me and my wife are both the kind of persons that prefer to build up some kind of connection with the other couple, before to pass to the action, so clubs are not a good option in our opinion.

What about your experience as rookies ? is this a common issue ?
