We enjoy both. quote:
ORIGINAL: spanklette snip........ I know a lot of people mention "cliques" and such at munches, but much of the time it's just about knowing people. Many of the people at munches will warm up after a second visit... In my experience, most of the "cliques" are just people who show up at every meeting. They know each other better and have a history. As you show up more often, you'll gain a history with these folks too. Getting out for the first time is hard enough without dreading the people...most of them are friendly and want to get to know more people. Our main munch is a great place to socialise and we've met some very good friends there. As spanklette says, most cliques at the munches etc I've been to are simply groups who have got to know each other. Most are happy to include others, especially new folk. Cliques do exist, in the negative way, but I find the best way to restrict their 'influence' is to go places and not be in a clique like that. Many of the friends we've made, we wouldn't have met any other way. Our local fetish club is one of, if not the, best clubs in the UK. The people who run it are very keen to help new people, (new to BDSM or new to clubs etc.), and the atmosphere is such that it is easy to get to know people there too. We often socialise with friends from further afield there too. Public play is different to what we do in private, but every bit as enjoyable. The extra space and dungeon furniture adds an extra dimension to our fun.
