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.

This happens to me a lot and the reason I think it does is because I’m good looking enough that the woman could potentially get herself in the mindset that I’m attractive but not so good looking or masculine that I intimidate her existing boyfriend. I’m in that sweet spot of approachable non-judgmental, in decent shape, good attitude, kinky predilections, and I can make people laugh.

I have been approached double digits number of times which led me down the same thought path as you.

Yess, right‽ It’s odd. I was like, “What is going on??” I think you might be on the ball. I’m attractive enough for the woman, but not too attractive to intimidate the man. Also, thinking about what people have said, I now remember that I asked a gay guy that was into kink about it. He said that my initial presentation is that I look non-judgmental and down for whatever. Basically, I seem like someone that could possibly be interested in it, but would be chill about it if I wasn’t.

This is not a humblebrag. This is overt, and hence infinitely more respectable than a humblebrag.

It wasn’t unusual when I used to go out when I was younger. I don’t really know why people would ask me, or, rather, what made people think it was OK to ask me. I did take them up on it once in a while.
