Last night we had planned on going to a house party. We found it on SLS, clicked the link saying we would attend, and thought we were all “good to go”. But after a few days we got a message saying we were out of the age range they were looking for. They were restricting attendance to those between 25 and 45 years of age. We are both at least five years over that. Okay. We were a bit disappointed but understood. We appreciate some of the restriction on other party we go to. Going to a party where everyone is height and weight proportionate (HWP) and people interested in full swap makes for a much better party for us.
We were also a little disappointed because Alfred and Debbie were going to be there. It’s nice to have someone you know when you go someplace new. They had indicated they were looking forward to seeing us again too so we sent them a message telling them we had been uninvited and Debbie sent back a really nice message saying I looked much younger than my real age and that she didn’t have a problem with my age. Since she is 26 years younger than me that was a real boost to my ego.
We decided to go to a meet and greet instead.
It was the same umbrella organization that had the one we didn’t care for a few months ago but this was a 45 minute drive in the opposite direction so we figured the odds were good we would find a completely different set of people.
It turned out well. We talked to several different couples. The two most interesting couples were those that approached us. They were probably the most nice looking of the people we saw there so that was very flattering too. We exchanged contact information with one couple and know how to get in touch with the other couple so maybe something will work out with them in the future.
The only problem is that both couple are a fair distance away from us. One is a 45 minute drive and the other is an hour and 40 minutes away.
We wish we could find some people closer to home. I went through the SLS listings for people close to home and plan to review the most promising ones with Jo to see if we can find friends where we don’t have to invest so much in travel time.
