A bit concerned about all this Single Guy talk... On my first trip in 2006 it didn't appear to be much of a problem. Maybe times have changed, or it was just a good week. Ill be returning, as a single guy, from the UK, 35 travelling alone, in August. I met some great couples on my last trip, and remain friends. It sounds like being that single guys have a reputation for not being respectful and being a bit too much! (not me at all, as a few people have already eluded to on the forum). However, my first trip certainly broadened my horizons (and have given me a few fun years back in the uk!), I am looking to have a fun trip, and going with the TTR flow!! Are there wrist bands that single guys can wear?
You like me as a single guy will be fine don't worry about a thing! Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk 2
Well single Guy I don't care as soon as They are respectfull!! First trip at TTR and I'm already in love with that place I'll give you my feedback when i'll back ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
With that attitude you will be fine, we did meet plenty who were. But there was a number of single guys from different countries with unrealistic ambitions !!!!! You will always get these types anywhere, we just felt the nature of the resort meant they expected to be accepted on there invitations and when the answer was NO, some did not seem to want to accept this. My question was , is it a growing problem.
I've been there 5 times as a single guy so i'm noit putting down single guys at all. The place is just wayn better when the guy-girl ratio is more even
I really don't think it's a growing problem, it seems to me that this issue comes up the same time year after year. We've never really had any problems but that could be because of the time of year we go or because of the amount of CC people out number any large groups of singles and everyone watches out for each other. :xyxthumbs:
We just returned home and we were there March 6th - March 15th ... and last year we went the first week in March. Last year didn't notice a ratio problem at all; however, this year we definitely noticed this, but this being said we (I) have never had any issues or encounters with single guys being disrespectful - and maybe it is because we have a group and therefore do not get bothered as much - I got nothing. In my opinion, douches can come in the form of single guys/gals but also present in couples as well ... all about the personality/respect level which will be altered if those that cannot handle their alcohol or have the inability to identify their limit come out to play which will then cause issues. Just my opinion and two cents for what it's worth!! :wave:
We just returned home a few days ago and wanted to post to this thread after the fact. While we were more than a little concerned with what we were reading before our first trip, none of it became a problem in reality. There were several groups of single men in attendance, but we didn't encounter a single issue of note. To be fair, we were part of a group most of the time, and that was probably a deterrent. The ladies went to the restroom in groups or with a significant other, and reasonable caution was exercised by all, but there never seemed to be any real reason to worry. I'm sure the atmosphere could have been altered negatively from the perspective of some, and things may have been worse in the weeks before our arrival, but to us, it was a lot of bark and not much bite. As many have said in this thread previously, the problems are really tied to the personalities of the individuals and not groups with a specific nationality or relationship status. It absolutely IS what you make it.
since the best thing about the place is the toplessness at the pool and skimpy clubwear at night it seems rather obvious that large groups of single guys would be a downer
Guess it's all a matter of perspective. We simply posted to help ensure other first timers their visits won't be ruined by the unchecked behavior of out of control single guys. The posts we read here had us worried. In hindsight, it was never a problem for us.
