What does Drawing Room mean?

Reviewed October 25, 2026

A Drawing Room is the original name for a Thread on JoinTheSwing — a moderated discussion planned for reviewed members, covering venue reviews, relationship dynamics, and etiquette questions.

Drawing Rooms was the original name for Threads on JoinTheSwing. The name borrowed from the drawing room — a room in a house for receiving company — and the surface is planned to be called Threads. Threads are designed to be more open than Groups — visible to the reviewed membership rather than private — but moderated and topic-focused.

Each Thread is planned to have a title, an author, and a series of replies. Topics are expected to range from the practical (venue reviews, event schedules, travel tips) to the philosophical (jealousy management, the etiquette of the soft no, navigating NRE in the Lifestyle). Threads will be able to be open, locked after a period, or archived when a topic has run its course.

Threads and Groups are planned to serve different functions. Groups are private, persistent member spaces. Threads are designed as the more open, searchable layer for the reviewed membership — but this describes a planned surface, and no archive of member discussions exists yet.

Find your people, at your pace.

New member registration, when available, will be on the website and in the native apps; digital membership purchases take place in the native apps via StoreKit 2 and Google Play Billing. Existing members can continue using the website. At launch, member identity verification will run through an automated government ID, biometric face-match and liveness check by Veriff: from the current Veriff check JoinTheSwing never receives or stores the images — we retain the verification result, Veriff's session reference, a consent receipt and non-biometric review metadata. Members who verified through our earlier, retired in-house pass may still have ID, selfie or couple photos in our private verification-document storage, deleted when the account is deleted. The free launch list does not create an account, start a subscription or charge a card.
