"Single Guy" is not synonymous with "Douchebag"

    Temptation will never (keeping fingers crossed) go couples only.. they have 3 resorts that are couples only. It does get tiresome to read about the banning of singles all the time.. I agree.. if it bothers you, dont go there. ;) It really is that simple. Temptation is what it is because of the variety of PEOPLE that go there. The single males and females bring a certain vibe to the resort.. If you want to know what its like with out them.. go to Desire.. BORING!! untill about 2 am in the playroom.. haha! ;)

    They used to have singles weeks, and I think this was just discontinued a couple of years ago, but some of the old-timers around here would know for sure.

    But I for one actually would prefer NOT to go during a singles week, as the interaction with all the great couples would be missing, and I would think that the resort would be a full-on 24/7 meat market. Ew.

    You make my solution point for me. Well dressed and large bouncers (same as at any nice club) to watch out for the "good folks" and to move the problem people to a more suitable location. Allowing the good folks to enjoy the vacation they paid for.

    Really anybody that takes a look around PatyO's can see who the problem types are...it ain't hard to see. And a trained bouncer (I hate calling them security) can handle the problem with kind words and a stern look.

    If done consistantly the word would get around and the problems would die down.

    Just my opinion...and the opinion of others it seems.

    We have not been to TTR Cancun yet. Married couple in our 40's. We are booked for 1st week of Dec, 2012 at TTR Cancun. We did go to TTR Cabo last Dec and met tons of very nice, single men. Actually we partied with the single guys more than most of the married couples. (But after reading on the forum I get the feeling that Cancun is alot more of a party resort than Cabo) Anyway these single men were great fun and respectful. There was a few creepers there BUT they were married men, and everyone knew who they were and steered clear.

    I think if the guests get the general vibe of who the d-bags are and stick together, and if there is an incidence report it to security that would help immensly. A big, beef-cake, bouncer sitting around at night at Patyo's probably wouldn't hurt. :wink3:

    You Could also go back into a lot of Trip Reports and the comments on them that also state that there is a lot of Couples (the Man or Women or Both) that are just as bad as said Singles.

    I agree with Mroz10 that if the people having the issues with People at TTR reported it. I think that TTR would correct the situation as well. They dont want to lose any guest because of bad PR?

    I have only been to TTR 2 times but I think I was respectfull of all, and I have made many new friends there Single and married.

    Well that is My 2 cents worth. But I am just an average guy. and when someone is having issues, I find that if I come around, I look grumpy enought that they just leave. lol

    Let's just all have a fun relaxing good time at the resorts.

    Jeff I agree with you 100%. I have experienced this numerous times throughout my job and volunteer organizations I have belonged to. When a strict policy is in place and all involved parties know that the policies will be inforced... Tada... problems go away

    Kim Please elaborate... What happens after 2am:wink3:

    Just guessing but I think that's when they bring out Trivial Pursuit and start a late night tournament!

    Also as a counterpoint, should they ever ban singles, they may have some legal problems. For example I have a timeshare there. I would expect some sort of compensation if I couldn't go there anymore because they changed a rule lol!

    Thanks Mroz10 and all those others who support what he has written. I too am tired of reading how all single guys should be banned because of a few douchebags that seem to show up occasionally. My suspicion is none of these douchebags are regulars or even occasional visitors to this site.

    As a single guy I do not in anyway endorse anyone.....being spouse, partner, friend or acquaintance being disrespected in anyway. I would certainly step in, as would any of the single people I know, to intervene if I saw this happening and I know some great single people, men and women.

    As I see it even if you did ban the single guys (can't really see that happening) there would still be douchebags hanging around.....then what do you do?

    I like the idea of well trained bouncers who understand when there is potentially a problem and step in before it escalates. I also would like to see some of us who are more mature take an pro-active and non-confrontational approach to help some of these guys learn how to act. I don't expect that to be 100% effective but maybe it would help some if we shared our knowledge and experience and maturity to mentor some of the younger guys. You know....maybe someone did that for us at one time in our lives before we were as smart and cool as we are today.

    I guess the other solution would be, try a couples only resort and see if the vibe there is as good as Temptations and appreciate some of the fun and experiences the singles bring to TTR and how they are part of the culture there too!

    I was gonna stay quiet on this one but i just cant!!! How many groups of canadians or americans singles have gone to TTR in groups of 20 or more and caused problems? easy answer is none cause north american guys usually don't travel like that. In my 7 trips there i've seen more married guys caus shit than single by either thinking they can be pigs just cause they're married or turn into jealous idiots cause guys are staring at their half naked wives. Most people are fine. You get the large groups from overseas that are the biggest problem. But for the love of god stop this "SINGLE GUYS" bashing. There was actually an advertising banner on this site here that said "swingers hotel tempation cancun". Steve took it down as soon as he was notified but when guys overseas are told this place is full of swingers n women, they come unfortunetely with certain expectations.
