Navigating this site

January 06 2022

Hi everyone. We are new to this site (not the lifestyle) and have a few questions (apologies in advance if asked before, we are just finding our way around the site). We are currently on guest membership and will likely eventually upgrade.
-is there a way to read reviews and ratings on event organizers (as a guest or with premium account). We are finding a lot of events with vetting processes and requirements etc for the guests but little in the way of reviews on the organizers.
-is there anything like a review page after individual events where guests can leave reviews?
-is the list of "interested" people on an event the actual guest list, or if not, is the guest list available somewhere else to check out before an event?
-is there a specific forum for smaller privately organized parties?
thanks to anyone who can help and feels like replying :)

    Word of mouth will give you reviews of all the hosts, and no the guest list is vast majority people who never end up going.

    Good questions!! Have been asking the same. Not the easiest site to navigate. Would love to understand how the events work, I expressed interest in two and heard nothing. Not sure how to go about showing interest in a way that day I actually want to attend!

    All very good relevant questions . I am unaware of any review or rating systems for events .
    I can only tell you about how we negotiated what events / parties we attended . It’s all a distant memory , pre covid.
    We were members when we first joined . This enabled us to contact organisers via their profile . We spoke via message and in most cases they offered to speak on the phone to answer queries to ease our ‘newbie nervousness ‘ . We , especially myself , female , found that reassuring. To be honest , I had no idea what to expect , what to wear even and I found the chat reassuring.
    We found , even attending the same venue / party on different occasions would make for a different night and change in atmosphere. It’s crowd dependent. For us a good event / party requires a good host or hosts .
    We also found that by putting ourselves out there , so to speak , talking to people , we learnt a lot about where to go to , where not to go to and so much more about this lifestyle. Word of mouth is a powerful tool .
    As for private parties , we have been contacted on many occasions by people holding small events in hotels or their homes . It’s not something we entertain . Once again , your becoming a member would allow you to contact members that are seeking couples such as yourselves .
    No one wants to waste a night out with having a bad experience. For us ( especially myself ) I used to push the nerves aside and we’d go with our gut instincts. If it feels NQR don’t bother. We found putting ourselves out there to be a learning curve . We always used to attend with no expectations and plenty of hope for a good night ahead .
    Good luck . Ax
