I couldn't have said it better myself. If you "Desire" a more laid back place with no single guys......it seems like a very logical decision. TTR promotes itself as a edgy sexy vibe....and part of that is the mix of people.....single and couples, gay, straight, lifestyle. It's a unique setting where we can all gather and have a great time.......it's not supposed to be more laid back and just couples......there are other resorts that cater to that.
I'm really curious, given that most of the people on here say that yes there are occasional problems....what is it that most single guys (9 out of 10) do that make them, in your opinion make them an undesirable element. I understand it's your experience and I appreciate that...but what is it that makes them so undesirable?
The difference is also a couple grande a week Are you saying single guys in general ? or the single guys that travel in ''packs''
We've been to Temptation once and I had a single guy almost attack me in the bathroom near Paty O' My husband was watching him most of the night because he would not stop looking at me and kept moving close no matter were we went. He followed me into the bathroom and my hubby and two other guys were behind him. He went into the bathroom and just before he grabbed my arm my hubby was in front of him. He took off and never saw him again. We've been to TTR once and that is our experience with single guys. He was alone so maybe if he had buddies with him they could of had him in check. anyways we know its isolated and it won't stop us from going again... An we don't mind single guys or girls at all, especially in our room. lol ;-)
we almost alway go to Desire now, however this year we ushered another couple to TTR for their first time and a group of single guys on an extended bachelor party trip almost ruined their week.
Sorry your first trip had a really bad experience and I'm glad to hear you will be repeaters! It seems that there is more bad behavior from the packs of young guys. I hope that you will travel sometime when guys like Canadian Dos Equis, Red Bull, MrRoz10, myself or some of the other single guys that are respectful and fun are there so we can prove to you that there are good single guys coming to TTR and we are the norm....not the other! :angel1:
Just so we're clear, this applies to all varieties of douche-bags (married, single...women and men alike), so please don't be offended all you SGs out there. The worst douche traits: 1) Being God's Gift - I can do/say whatever I want. This seems fairly universal and self-explanatory. 2) Coming on too strong/fast (and specifically in the case of couples), neither acknowledging nor engendering the husband (or wife). You don't need to "ask permission" per se, but you damn well better understand that you're playing on someone else's home court! 3) Sneaking around or trying to spirit someone away. Although this is an awesomely effective way to operate in "singleland" and during junior high, part of our job as a couple is to look out for and protect each other, especially when there's a party booming and our judgement might be questionable. Quit following her to the bathroom, idiot! Be honest, polite, and up front. Be brave, be bold, be sweet. Appreciate!!! And the world will be yours, my son. P.S. We think these traits express themselves with greater frequency in packs of young men and women because there is a built-in sense of competition, and the tactics they employ are usually dirtier and less real.
I have no problem with what you write here! I just hope / believe most reasonably mature sane single guys (and all the other guys / girls that want to play) are respectful as you suggest. My single female friends are no different and I (as would most of the other single guys) would be there to look out and protect them (and any married female friends as well) as you would your partner.
You would think so, right! Generally, we have found that guys who have "lifestyle" experience are better trained in these rules. That said, it is still nowhere near universal; probably a 70/30 split at best. When we party in normal vanilla environments (and that totally excludes the under 25 crowd), our experience is that it gets down lower than 50/50, mostly because of the sneaky, separate the weak from the herd tactic. Temptations has proved closer to the "lifestyle" number because of the high percentage of self-described freaks (God bless us, every one!) One final note: Our last post didn't cover any of the "other" undesirable categories, just Douches. There are many, many other types of people we don't want to party with. So, while the creepers, whiners, too-drunk-to-standers, hygienically challenged, and everyone else deserves mention, this thread was dedicated to the lovely Douches!
10,000 foot observation on this post and on trip reports. There seems to be a good assumption that those that cause issues, roam in packs and come for a bachelor party are even single... Was an interview conducted on each individuals marriage status? You cannot judge by the presence of a ring. I have friends that don't wear them, doesn't mean they are single and at times probably acted like a douchebag when over-served. We have been to TTR twice and each year ran into a person that did not give us a good vibe, no issues, though. Was the person single? No idea, because we didn't ask. It is pretty sad that the human race seems to thrive on judging and stereotyping. The best judge of a persons character can only be done by spending time with them and truly knowing their past, their thought process and patterns.
