I have been propositioned by swingers quite a bit. It’s to the point that if a couple is nice to me, I start getting suspicious. This has happened with acquaintances, long-time friends, people I’ve met at a party, co-workers, and even strangers at the beach. Three times that I can remember off the top of my head, they propositioned me and my girlfriend at the time (separate girls many years apart). Is this a normal thing? What about me could make me attractive to swinger couples?

I’m a cis-gendered straight male. As far as physical attractiveness, I would say I’m slightly above average based on what women have told me and how they treat me.

    Normal, but not common.

    You’re probably hot and cool.

    I’ve asked people to join threesomes before, and I ask hot and cool people with style.

    I also suspect that if you’re above average in looks to the point that not only are you aware of it but people have regularly commented on it, you’re probably smoking hot or at least attractive with great style.

    congrats!

      I first read that as you stylishly asking people to have a 3-way.

        Haha, yea, unintentional but fairly accurate.

        I absolutely love that character-people-drawing

        There’s a word for that I don’t know?

        Type-doodle?

          They’re called kaomoji, like emoji. In Japanese, emoji means “image-letters” and kaomoji means “face-letters.” The English word for them is probably emoticons, but that more refers to things like :-) and xD. Kaomoji can be called “Japanese emoticons.”

          If you have an Android phone, your keyboard has built-in kaomoji ヾ⁠(⁠ ͝⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ͡⁠°⁠)⁠ノ⁠♪. You can access them by opening up the emoji panel at the bottom left, then tapping the “:-)” button at the bottom right, which contains some western emoticons but many categories of kaomoji
