First and foremost, no apologies needed nor necessary... If anything, "my bad". Thanx just the same to Fox for the courteous manner of his latest.
That said, alternatives that Fox and others may have found to meeting with total strangers in their pursuit of the BDSM lifestyle are to be commended, though for this rank explorer, lacking similar connections, munches did seem to be the entre to the BDSM sub group.
As for making judgments on the folk found at these munches, certainly not all were "bad". I do not recall ever making such a condemnation on these pages, but if I did, apologies again.
It's just that working up enough...whatever... to attend these events was laced with the aforementioned lifelong attraction, and frankly, from the limited munch groups attended the gene pool of attractive potential partners proved most shallow.
Hunrgy gazes in this direction aside, I may have proved the unattractive one. Who can tell? I would be the first to admit that this is certainly possible.
Anyway. A lesson has been learned. Not a "pretty" one, but a lesson nonetheless and it is that lesson that is humbly passed on to any others seeking more knowledge into the BDSM lifestyle.
