I've never hosted one, so I can't say how tough it is.  Luckily, I've known a few guys that have thrown lots of them, and we appreciate them immensely for it.  It appears to be a ton of work, so one of the positives of your suggestion would be that it would be as simple as "go to the park at 2pm tomorrow and meet some people".

How do you handle who shows up?  What if the M/F ratio is out of whack?  What if somebody brings their friends with the donuts, just to get a look at who they should be following up with later?  How do you insure safety for the ladies, or confidentiality for the guys?  None of those questions are show stoppers, but my guess is that after tackling all of them, finding a place isn't all that tricky.

I believe one of the problems with M & Gs is finding a place and trying not to be conspicuous about what it's all about.

Was wondering if it would be easier just to blend in with another "civie" event. Concert in the park. Some festival or perhaps even a Fetish Ball.

At one time I was a "guest" at a swingers M & G. They blended in with events like those mentioned above in order to "meet" then they'd invite folks to their "after party" events.

How do you handle who shows up?  
Regardless if the party is "Closed" (Private place) or "Open" (Public Place) it should be by invitation only.

What if the M/F ratio is out of whack?
It always is. Nothing new here.

What if somebody brings their friends with the donuts, just to get a look at who they should be following up with later?
Private party - If not on the list they get turned away. Public - Not much control over that.

How do you insure safety for the ladies, or confidentiality for the guys?
1. Do no business, it's a meet and greet not a sex-fest. 2. Use screen names only although calling someone "DonkeyDickDon" in public might draw some attention. 3. Going back to the previous question, if it's a "Closed" party it's easier to control. "No ticket - No Lookie" . You cannot assure 100% safety or annonymity. If you walk into a "Closed" M & G and see your Boss, Hairdresser or whatever that's the breaks.

None of those questions are show stoppers, but my guess is that after tackling all of them, finding a place isn't all that tricky.

The advantage of doing an "Open" M & G is that I think you'll have more success. I've seen too many "Closed" M & Gs fail because of the risk of putting up money for renting a place.

All of us engaged in this pretty much know the risks involved and have accepted them. Being in a "hot dog" eating contest in public is easier to explain than behind closed doors. ;)
