When my partner and I first joined the site as a swinging couple, we read a lot of profiles of other swinging couples. Very generally the profiles fell into three broad categories. First, there were the functional swingers. They wanted sex with another couple first and foremost and often come what may.
Second, there were the social swingers, which my partner and I saw ourselves as, who wanted friendship and sex but not sex without friendship.
And then there were the special swingers who though they were the bee's knees. Their profile was all about how brilliant they were, sexually, socially and career-wise, and were effectively inviting other couples to submit applications to temp them to meet up and have sex with. For them, it was all about what others can bring to the table and not what they bring to the table. My partner and I generally avoided those profiles.
One couple from Cambridge, whose profile was definitely in the special swingers category, mailed us wanting to meet with my partner and I. We agreed. The meet was awful. They basically wanted an invite to one of our parties. Because their heads were up their own arses, they claimed that they're normally so busy to meet other couples, conveniently forgetting that it was them who wanted to meet us. The couple didn't ask one question about us, it was all about them. They would have licked themselves if they were chocolate! It was a very tedious and tiresome evening.
We invited them to our party. It was our first party so we were a little anxious about couples turning up. Our friends did, I told you we were social swingers. The Cambridge couple also turned up. But they used the party to meet up with another couple, which isn't a problem in itself but they weren't interested in anyone else at the party; I'm not talking sexually, I'm talking socially. Both couples made no attempt to talk to anyone else at the party, not even the hosts.
They quickly retired to an upstairs bedroom with the other couple and shut the door. It seemed my partner's house was a private meeting place for them. Shutting the main bedroom door was a fuck-off to everyone else.
When they came down, my partner gave them merry hell. Both couples quickly left. The rest of the party cheered. And the party continued and flourished without them.
What lengths do you go to fit in at a party?
Though I wouldn't have done what my partner did, I was pissed off as being seen as the unwashed. We never saw those two couples again. The Cambridge couple even blocked me the day after. It was my first block on the site. The couple weren't our type of a swinging couple. I bet you they're still arseholes whether they're together or separated!

"Merry hell" - I love these little phrases!! We've had a few "stuck up" gentlemen over to play. Once, and done. I'd rather laugh and get to know somebody, than just hit the bedroom.
'Merry hell' isn't so popular of a phrase here nowadays now swear words are more common!
I don't worry about fitting in at a party because odds are I won't. Knowing that in advance is freeing. I tend to move from group to group looking for compatible conversation. I might just sit nearby and listen. If I notice someone sitting isolated from everything, I make a point of going over and talking to them.
I tend to make a bee line to the waifs and strays at a party.
That couple (and their mates) sound like a right pair (or two) of twats. I'm with the missus, hope the door kicked them on the arse on the way out!!
Yes, I've done the archetypal punt-pole-getting-stuck-under-bridge on that river . . .
Shutting the bedroom door was the final straw because it meant that the room was out of use for others.
I've been punted but never punted.

Bucket of water? The wet bed-clothes would have been an acceptable price to pay!
@lindoboy100 That would have been brilliant to witness. All the bedding had waterproof protectors on.
The few times I’ve been with other couples: really only two couples, two or three times with each, my husband and I were what you’d call “social swingers,” looking for both friendship and sex. I know how to have sex with someone I feel only physical attraction for, without friendship, but my husband doesn’t. In any case, I can’t stand seeing my husband with another woman, so our experiences with swinging didn’t work out.
My partner and I were social swingers. Sex without a friendship didn't too much for us.
I wouldn't have invited them to the party as like you said they were all about themselves and no one else. I am glad your partner gave them merry hell sounds like they deserved it. I got a chuckle this morning while reading this story.
I hope your Tuesday is a tempting none my friend..
My partner certainly gave them merry hell as they disappeared out of her home.
I'm much more fun one-on-one and tend to be somewhat shy in larger groups. But I know that and push myself a bit to get around at parties and socialize.
It took me some time to enjoy parties. It certainly helps being the host as nearly everyone wants to talk to me!

They definitely had their heads up their arses!
