Hi all! I’ll be in Cancun for just a bit in the middle of some traveling, looking for an 18/21+ spot. I’ll be sledding solitary during the later parts of my trip, so I’d like this portion to have a nice social crowd. I’ve seen Temptations suggested online, and it seems like a blast in theory, BUT… As a solo male traveler in his late twenties, is my presence alone going to offend? Is it considered social poor-form for me to lounge around? I’m an artist/designer, open-minded and respectful, and don't offend easily, but all the same it’s tough to read the vibe from afar. Thanks! Feedback or other suggestions welcome!
Posting this from a recent single guy (@Nanners). For the whole thread, check out: Single Guy First Timer Perspective from Nanners "Being single Many people I spoke to said that the resort is tamer since reopening. I noticed I guess. It is younger and more “clubby” than pure lifestyle now. There was still definitely a high % of LS couples. As a single guy in his 30s. I appreciated the cool, chic, slightly subdued LS as opposed to the very in your face swinging I’ve seen in other places. But I understand how some people would prefer the exact contrary. I think I heard some guys saying they wouldn’t go back single. And I saw one or two guys that truly looked like they were not having fun. I would go back as a single guy (and dammit I’d probably be even better next time). It would not be my first choice to go back single, but its not as bad as some reviews state. Smile. Be happy about being with beautiful people all around you. Take the attention. Get your ass slapped. Kiss a girl. Lick a nipple. Hell, kiss a guy if you want. Don’t expect anything. Do not act like a douchebag. Don’t expect getting laid every night. In fact, don’t expect getting laid at all, that’s the worst attitude. For god’s sake, act like you’ve seen breasts and vaginas before! One strong recommendation I would make if you’re single and alone: Find 3 or 4 couples or groups and they can be your “bases”. I.e., people you can throw your towel on a chair nearby. People you can chit chat at bash with. People you can have a drink and dance with. Don’t get clingy. Be friendly. I had my Quebec Crew. My Irish/Nebraska connection. My Alberta peeps. Etc. Enough people that I was alone only for about 90 minutes on the first day I arrived. Doing the room crawl and the Boobs Cruise early helped. The room crawl was just good people having fun. Truly nice gems of human beings I wouldn’t mind seeing again. Some of you left too soon after that but here’s hoping we connect again. I found it harder to go to dinner with a couple. And really, I don’t want to intrude on couple time. So when a few single guys came in we joined up with dinner every night. That helped. Otherwise, breakfast and dinner could get lonely. My preference for a next trip would be to find a nice, fun, openminded girl to go with (and I don’t necessarily mean a swinger). Just someone that doesn’t mind the attention, doesn’t mind seeing people naked, and doesn’t mind to flirt and be flirted with. But I would definitely prefer going single rather than going with a closeminded judgmental person. That would be awful and restrictive. In short, I would say: Going with openminded fun girl > Going single > Going with closeminded conservative > Not going at all"
Thank you tbayfinn! Very informative, I think I'm going to try to book today. Much appreciated with the link!
I love the summary line: "Going with openminded fun girl > Going single > Going with close minded conservative > Not going at all". He is 100% right. As long as you have an open mind, aren't easily offended, and have a positive attitude to enjoy your time there, you will love it. Lots of single guys (and single girls) go to Temptation and meet other singles, and hang out with couples and groups. Everyone is super friendly as long as you are too!
Thanks Elle! I generally work from home and will be working a bit while I'm in the region, so to take breaks amongst fun people next to the beach instead of in my house... that's already a win in my book. I'm looking forward to yoga, gymming, laying around poolside...should be good!
