The London Meet Result

[Richard]

No, the guy in the black shirt is Mel. The one sitting is not one of us, I can't see Piesplatter in any of the pics.
There were other people with cameras there so I hope that more pics will follow.

OMG I just saw the picture of me in Peter's post - Cameras don't like me - I look like Mr Magoo in that shot!!

Anyway, I had a great time at the meet and wanted to share with anyone thinking of attending why I think it's worth your while (particularly in relation to Stonecastle's comment)...

After a 7 yr relationship ended I decided that I needed to meet someone who was as fun and open-minded as myself; and who was in for the 'long haul'. After a year of trying 'online'; munches and finally fetish clubs, I found my gf. (For anybody who just panicked at the idea of fetish clubs I would like to say - please don't try and read anything into my character because I'm 'the type of person who would go to one' - there is no 'fetish type' - you will mistake a good guy for a wierdo if you do that...)

Having had all these meeting experiences I would say the following about the London UMD meet:

Most meets (or munches) comprise of a well meaning host - often female; rows and rows of dribbling predatory males with one item on the agenda; 1 or 2 normal guys who are looking to meet someone fun for friendships, maybe relationships, etc. One or two women will turn up and they will be pounced upon to the point that I have had to rescue them (conversationally) - all in all there is an air of desperation about munches; lots of wankers wanting extra marital fun and a genuine lack of charisma in the building...


The London UMD meet could not be more different...

(Firstly, it isn't meant to be a munch, but also...) Everyone I met at this meet was an individual. You are welcomed with a smile and a relaxed atmosphere of fun. The conversation is lively and entertaining, with moments of hilarity. I guess the acid test is that there are people at this munch ie Easy_as, Andy250, Wam_in_bed, etc who I would be very happy to have as friends in ANY social situation. There is flirtation and discussion, but it is well meant and fun rather than being stuck with some guy from the sticks telling you about his 'toys' and 'interests'! Also, conversation is easy and relaxed and you will not be overheard or 'outed' - there is no need to worry about your privacy being compromised...

To anybody who is wondering what the point of a munch that is this social is - While it is perceived that people go to these things for sex and walk home with conquest in tow, that NEVER happens - that's a 'male fantasy'! The way to get the best out of these things, for both genders, is to come along and meet people; get to know them and take it from there...

1 in 5 at this meet were women. This is an outstanding number - usually it's more like 1 in 15 - and it means that there is safety for women. All 5 women who attended were friendly people too - no bitches or prima donnas! I would recommend that if you are female and unsure about attending, that you talk to one of these ladies (I'm sure they'd be glad to put your mind at ease) and arrange to meet at the event...

All in all it is an event I really look forward to in my social calendar and I would urge you all (if you've not already) to make it the same.

Thanks to Easy_as and James for organising it

Peace and Love

Jim

By the way talking of women at the meet, I also post on a pick up artist forum. I have often wondered is anyone else in the pua community is also into wam.

Forgive me, this is a horrible thing to say, but does anyone else see Peter as looking a bit like a young (and slimmer) Jeremy Clarkson?

PS Agree entirely with the comments about some fetish nights, parties etc. Been to a few and not my thing. As far as I can see, the London Meet (and indeed the slightly more fetishy Leeds one) is just an old fashioned night in the pub with a group of people who share a common interest. They are social gatherings not sexual ones. So swingers will not find it suitable. Incidentally have you noticed that in any swinging couple, one partner is minging (usually the bloke!).

Hi Wetfetlover

Thanks for your comments.
They sum up perfectly what I keep trying to say, rather nicely. It is great that this is what comes across to people who make it along.
Relaxed, friendly atmosphere with chatting and beer . . . it even rhymes as a slogan, sort of !







Stonecastle, I am sure that your post is worthy of a separate and new topic. It feels very much like you are pushing
an agenda into this thread which is not really part of what the ' Meets ' are about.
Are you ? And, if so, why ?
If the ' Pick-Up ' Artist community is into WAM great.

Please stop trying to link the two ideas in peoples minds about the London Meet and pulling or picking-up women.
I am sure no meet organiser want's that tag for his or her event.

You didn't do the same on the Leeds and Warrington threads or the one for the Alt. London Meet or did you ?
At least I don't remember seeing that, I may be wrong.
By doing what you are doing, you are only going to put women off from attending, at least some women who haven't been before.
We as London Meet can only hope that any females who have thought about coming to a meet trust the good reviews
instead of worrying about how many men are waiting for them.
Simply put; there are none, not in that sense.

This is now the second time on this thread I have had to mention it and I do not appreciate having to do so again.

Lookin good there Peter, like a right player!

Dunno how I managed it, those girls don't know me from Adam!

Still jealous of your tiswas tshirt!

You can still pick some up from Sally James herself - the last chance to order is at the Tiswas Reunited forum on tiswasonline.com . There's going to be some coffee mugs available too.

I need to order the yellow shirt, to complete the collection!

[Hayley]

I think both of you have made your point in that respect.

None of the meets anywhere are for 'picking up' people. If anyone wants something like that I am sure there are other sites advertising more appropriate events.

PS Stonecastle has a similar beef going on another thread, so it's not just this one.

According to Wikipedia, a Pick-Up Artists is "a man who is skilled in meeting, attracting, and seducing women". IMHO, I don't think your techniques are working.

From my experience of the fairer sex, they prefer to be talked to as human beings first, you know, get to know them and all that. If you start talking about sex and fetishes when you first meet what you assume to be a potential girlfriend, then I really doubt they'd want to know you.

I know some guys who have charisma dripping off every pore of their body, who have no problems attracting female attention. They're quick-witted, polite, etc (and make me jealous). I've not seen them mention sex in their chatting-up process, and I doubt they've ever went online to find out their 'skills'.

[Peter Thomas]

As long as my hair doesn't break out into tight curls, and I don't have the same music taste as him, I'm fine with that. I've been compared to John Travolta, Jordan Knight (of New Kids On The Block fame) and some nerdy guy from Third Rock From The Sun. I think being compared to Clarkson isn't too bad! Went past his house a few years back, and he's a distant friend to my ex.

Agree entirely with the comments about some fetish nights, parties etc. Been to a few and not my thing. As far as I can see, the London Meet (and indeed the slightly more fetishy Leeds one) is just an old fashioned night in the pub with a group of people who share a common interest.

I've worked in the mainstream porn industry as a video editor and designer, and got invited to several parties and a commercial convention. You can easily see the guys who are there wanting a s**g and those who are in the business.

Incidentally have you noticed that in any swinging couple, one partner is minging (usually the bloke!).

A while back I worked for a managing director who was into swinging in a big way. He'd have big swingers parties at his very nice posh house in the middle of the countryside. As I "knew computers", I'd be the poor sod processing all the photos he took on his digital camera. Lots of nice couples, and he'd be there grinning with his dopey face, his sad sack body and tiny floppy penis. The girls were great-looking, and they'd only be there because their blokes liked the venue.

So you think that I go up to female strangers and start talking about sex and fetishes straight away? In all the interactions I have had with women I have rarely spoken about sex.

I know some guys who have charisma dripping off every pore of their body, who have no problems attracting female attention. They're quick-witted, polite, etc (and make me jealous). I've not seen them mention sex in their chatting-up process, and I doubt they've ever went online to find out their 'skills'.

You will be surprised just how many men who are very successful with the opposite sex learned their seduction skills either online, from reading books or attending seminars and courses. Few are self taught.
