Who goes to swing clubs, and what kind of people will we meet? The answer is as diverse as our society. You will meet doctors, lawyers, mechanics, salesman, dentist, just about anyone.

With a community that diverse, you will most probably find people like yourself.

What’s important is finding people with similar attitudes. At first, you will most definitely find people more “advanced” than you. By that, we mean people that have been in the lifestyle awhile and have lost many of the inhibitions you might have. You will probably also find others that are at the same place as you. Even if you are not interested in a physical relationship with them, they still might be fun to be around, and can be the beginning of a great support system for you.

You will also run into swingers you do not particularly care for. That’s OK. Just as in real life, you can’t expect to like everyone, and can’t expect everyone to like you. But you can still be nice and social. If they want more from you, politely tell them you are not interested. Most people will listen.

When you do run into those occasional pushy swingers, just be firm and tell them you are not interested. They will get the idea sooner or later. Be blunt, if need be. After all, we are all adults, and can handle the truth.
