danb, you can make the offer to people to come out, but you can't make them accept.
I'm with pisti on this one, most of the bods that refuse to come out are a bunch of bedwetters, its been reiterated time and time again that we are not dragons in real life, and if you can't man up enough to show your face at least once, and see if its for you, don't whine about how unfriendly it is to all and sundry off/on forum.
I understand for some, you're not living in london its impossible to meet up, but for those that do live in london, pull finger out, and if after meeting up its still not for you, and doesn't change your perception of the forum and the people that frequent it fair enough.
