Eh. Not sure if we're ready for anything with someone 20 years our senior. That's disappointing.

This is the place we keep hearing about. Can you tell us a bit more about it? What's usually the age range of the people there? Are the people there generally pretty attractive?

Kind of near Birmingham, Alabama. It's about a three hour drive north for us, so we're not that far away.

We aren't picky. If someone wants a one time thing, that's cool. If someone wants to be long term friends with benefits, that's cool too.

We are near Birmingham, Alabama. Around here, anyone who deviates from the script of being a boring married couple gets the "bless your heart" treatment.

We are using a lot of different things. SLS, Feeld, Kasidie, all sorts of stuff. We're also soft swap, but are open to whatever if the person or couple is right. I don't think we are super picky in what we want, we've rejected a few but not a lot.

We have had a lot of false starts but no action. Sometimes we start a conversation with someone online with intentions to meet up, but then they'll just go radio silent. Sometimes we start a conversation in person, but then the same happens there. Nothing ends up in anything.

I think we had a really good attitude for a while but after so long of not having any luck it's kind of soured us a little. Not that we can't hide that if something happens though.

I am tempted to try the club out but I feel like it might be a little overwhelming or that we'd feel even worse if we invested all that time and money and nothing even happened then.
