Our frustration is in finding other couples to play with. We are on several websites and are finding that couples who initially seem interested in getting together will talk and put us off and we end up not getting together at all.
Is there another way to meet other couples that would be interested in actually getting together?

Julie, stop me if this question has come up before, but I couldn't find it through Search.
This question was inspired by another thread. I'm not asking about the initial contact, but after the first contact is made. Which way do you think is most effective at getting to know others before you meet face-to-face?
It comes down to 3 methods:
Chat
Email
Telephone
For me Chat is nervewracking. Even though I can type 50+ wpm, it moves too fast (when you're typing) and too slow (when the other person is typing). Yet, it's in real time which makes for a more natural and conversational exchange. And chatting creates a more uninhibited exchange than you'd likely have over the phone.
Telephone: With nationwide plans for cellphones, this is becoming a less-expensive option, though it's still costly. Yet, there's something about hearing a person's voice that tells you alot about them.
Email: my preferred method. It's like old fashioned letters only digitized. It's not conversation, but it gives you time to think, to ask and answer questions more creatively (though increasing the BS factor at the same time).
So, what'll be: Chat, Email or Phone?

We have been on SLS for a little over a month now. Being that we are new we are still receiving numerous emails a week. However, it seems that 90% of the people want us to chat on Yahoo. We clearly state on our profile that we do not Yahoo due to privacy concerns. I guess we don't understand why you pay for a site that is tailored to fit what you need to read about other couples only to constantly be redirected to a second party chat program.
It is unfortunate because we are most likely missing out on some pretty interesting couples. We actually turned away a 27 year old single bi female (i know we are crazy) because she said she likes to yahoo with couples to see if their is a connection before she meets them.
I guess my question is, how important is Yahoo? Those of you who have had SLS profiles for awhile, please tell us, do we need to change our position on this?
