I think it's perfectly fine for singles, male or female, to talk to other couples. I'm pretty sure most singles can soon figure out if the couple are anti-social nut jobs who are in a friendly resort but only want to be friendly on their own very specific terms and move on to another pair of potential friends. People are weird
we're a very friendly couple that has had a number of very bad experiences with single guys............so we may be considered (weird) but..... we'll find you if we're at all interested. BTW........one of our closest "friends" last month was a single guy.
In a nutshell you don't want to be approached by singles wich is perfectly fine but at least post a picture of yourself so that the singles on here will know who not to approach because for the most part all the people that go to TTR want to be approached and make conversation wether it be by couples or singles and if were not interested a simple no thank you will do. I can also understand that you had a bad experience with a single guy, but we had a bad experience with a couple one time does that mean they shoudn't approach us, that they should wait till we approach them, my point is you can't brand people because they are not all the same, branding people before even meeting them is just wrong. My 2 cents, no punn intended
whether your a male or female... single or couple... at the end of the day, i think we can all agree that respect and communication is KEY!.. distribute your respect and attention equally amongst the people you meet and socialize with, and you will have no problem at all... plain and simple..
I can understand recounting an anecdotal story of a bad experience you had, I can understand it even more if you've had several of them (and it sounds like you have), what I don't like is the sweeping generalizations of all single men that borders on a hate crime (I'm being overly dramatic for effect ) combined with the distinct impression that you feel ALL people should have the same view. Your assertion regarding the single friend last month reminds me of the bigot who claims "but my best friend is gay!", it rings insincere. Lady you seem like a nice person and you must enjoy going to the resort as you've been many times but your focus is often on the negative (which I do understand is human nature) and rarely do you recount positive stories. How about a positive story from your experiences with TTR? What is it you like about the resort that keeps you coming back?
Andrew.........I've made many positive posts.....about great people.....great staff.....really good food......a glowing Boobs Cruise endorsement....but many of the very best times at TTR involve others. We've had SIGNIFICANT issues with single men......as have many others....including the resort apparently as they've indicated a change in their marketing. The 2 most significant debates in here deal with cameras and single men. The ideas....opinions......and such vary greatly. It's likely those will always be hot button issues for some folks! My positions upset you. I apologize.
I'm happy for this thread. I've toyed with the idea of coming by myself, and I have most of September off with vacation. I'm single and I'm gay (however I still enjoy motorboating boobs! haha). I don't enjoy decorating or interior design. I like sports and beer. So I sometimes have a hard time fitting in with the 'traditional' gay scene as well as the traditional straight scene. I'm not hugely outgoing (I would be if I had a kick ass body) but I enjoy drinking and chatting and watching outlandish behavior. I love the idea of 'Nobody Knows You and Nobody Gives A Shit' -that's just a great motto. This feels like a place where I wouldn't feel left out or anything. Still on the fence though. Sigh.
Thanks for the reply You position did not upset me as it is based upon your own experiences, what bothered me is the generalizations. There are all kinds of poorly behaved people out there but if we let them colour our world so completely I think that would be a bad thing. Yes there are badly behaved single men (and couples) and yes there are creepers with cameras but rather than paint everyone with the same brush it'd be nice, IMHO, to deal with these incidents as educational opportunities and not as an excuse to ban an entire demographic. I think a group of persuasive CCC husbands can provide most people with the incentive to curb their behavior I hope that one day we can have a philosophical discussion in person at the resort
We socialized with a gay couple (coincidentally from Atlanta also) in April and the couple we're coming with at the end of Sept. is a gay married couple. I think you'll fit right in as long as you say hi to people and I'm sure they'll include you. Go for it!
