A few couples have asked us what MAC is like?
So we decided to do a few question and answers here about MAC?
So we decided to do a few question and answers here about MAC?
Q: What is MAC like? What do they offer and what
does it cost?
A: MAC is an off-premise
club located in a hotel just south of Richmond. MAC offers a normal
dance (DJ) in the club area with music from 8p.m. until 2 a.m. During
the evening they have some finger foods to munch on. They do not
have an annual fee but they do charge a social fee.. (normally $40).
The hotel has a full service cash bar in the club area which serves
drinks throughout the evening and the cost is comparatively the
same as a regular club. The club ages vary from 21-50+....I would
say the average is 30 to 40 yr olds...The backgrounds of the group
will vary from doctors to blue collar workers to private business
owners…it depends on the group dynamics that evening…MAC is a good
club to get to know people and to have a good time.
Q: Why is MAC called
an "off-premise" club?
A: To understand the difference between off and on-premise is critical..Simply
stated "off-premise" means that nothing within the club area can
happen on the premise. So in plain terms MAC is a place to meet
others but to go any further you will need to go elsewhere…"On premise"
is the opposite...nudity can and usually does happen on the premises
of the club.
Q: What goes on at the main party?
A: The MAC parties are very laid back…what happens is totally up
to the couples at the social however, it is only a place to meet
other like couples to talk, dance, and drink. NUDITY is NOT allowed
(because of ABC laws). Often you will see a lot of sexy dancing
and sexy outfits….(remember although the social is private it is
held in a hotel open to the public so you must be STREET legal coming
to and leaving the club)…It is not uncommon to see two or more ladies
on the dance floor dancing together…The social is a nice way to
meet other couples in a NO PRESSURE environment and "NO means NO".
Q: What is normally worn at the socials?
A: This depends…meaning you can dress as you wish however; MAC does
have some dress rules that need to be followed. Such as your attire
to go to and come from the social (you must be street legal). It
is not uncommon to see lovely ladies wearing cover-ups to and from
the social with much more revealing clothes underneath. In general
ladies usually wear dresses, skirts, etc…While the gentlemen wear
slacks, polo shirts and jeans...On theme nights although it is generally
not required some couples find it fun to dress up in the theme attire…A
good rule of thumb that works in all situations is: "Dress to Impress"
remember you are there to meet others and that first impression
is important.
Q: What does "NO means NO" mean and how is it enforced?
A: "NO means NO" is a very well known term in the lifestyle…from
new people entering to the seasoned swingers…its an accepted term
used among people…what it means is what it says…If you find someone
is doing something you don't find acceptable to you then just say
"NO" The rule is a self police among the members plus at MAC there
is security and staff on hand to ensure safety and protection.
Q: We are going to the social for the first time and don't know
anyone there so what is the best way to meet others?
A: We have found that the best way to meet "like minded" couples
is through socials like MAC. This makes a perfect condition for
meeting socially without pressure or fear of rejection. Since this
is a dance, most people are there for the fun of socializing. If
its your first time at a social then generally you have to find
what you feel is comfortable for you. Some go and ask others to
dance…while others go find a table to sit at that is large enough
for others to join them and get acquainted. All the members will
have nametags on with their first names so you can always just walk
up and say something about a persons dress etc.. just to get a conversation
going…we find a combination of these and just walking up to others
and introducing ourselves seems to work for us. Again, its whatever
you feel comfortable with…there are no set rules..
Q: We heard a lot of clubs have "cliques" is that true?
A: While most clubs will say there aren't any cliques…we will just
say that we don't consider then cliques but groups of people who
congregate together.
Q: We have heard of couples having "after hours" parties what are
they and how do you get invited?
A: An After Hours party is something that isn't a given…some couples
hold parties after dancing, drinking, and socializing at the main
party…They are private parties where people get together and its
up to the host and hostess to decide who may or may not be exclusively
invited to the party. Some AH parties depending on the group can
be a lot of fun…(its all up to the people at the party)…To get an
invite to an AH just talk with the host and hostess that is having
the party …its that simple…If you are invited remember to use good
judgment and enjoy yourself again it's a private party!
Q: We heard its one BIG orgy at these parties is that true?
A: That is probably the most misunderstood part of swing parties
today. Although "some" swing socials can evolve into one BIG orgy…the
norm is that does not happen…At MAC if it does happen it happens
behind closed doors among consenting adults…

Here are some good tips/things to consider so that you will have
a good time:
· "NO means NO" simply stated…do not force yourself on others…people
find pushy over aggressive people to be no fun.
· Don't be thinking with the wrong head.
· Do not over indulge in alcohol. No one likes a rude drunk. Most
people aren't attracted to fallen down, obnoxious drunks…Additionally,
for the guys alcohol can and does effect your ability to perform…it's
a fact…as studly as you may be…. drinking too much can cause you
to have an additional challenge to overcome. Also if you plan on
drinking…please find an alternative way home…drinking and driving
isnt smart...
· Be prepared. You are going to a swing social so be prepared to
meet others you may or may not find attractive.
· Be courteous, friendly, and honest. People don't care for people
who lie.
· Be prepared for rejection…remember its not easy to all agree
on interest…if you find a couple you want to take further…ALL of
you determine the pace.
· Go to the social with a "what if" thought in mind…"What if" they
ask us back to their room? (Do I have protection?) "What if" I like
him how do I know my hubby is attracted to her? How will he tell
me if he is interested in her?
· A good tip is to have some extra slips of paper readily available
with maybe your names (first names are ok) and a way to get in contact
with you..(an email address or phone number). It makes it easier
than trying to find a pen or use lipstick to write on a bar napkin.
· Do not set yourself up for a failure. Many couples make the mistake
in believing they are going to the social to get "laid". Although
that isn't totally out of the question…we think a lot of NEW couples
think it's a swing party and they are paying money so sex is going
to happen…We go to every party with the following attitude "go and
have a good time…if something happens great…if not. we are going
to have fun…dancing and partying with ourselves". You will have
more fun being yourselves and you will be less likely to be disappointed
when nothing happens. If its your first time go with the idea to
"check it out" that way you can feel a little more comfortable.
