El Brujo Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 I went to a new meetup group for singles today and it was a massive disappointment. It was free, but it was in a claustrophobic, hard-to-find-parking part of town, and the weather was hot as hell today. Not a great way to start off. About 30-35 people showed up... but instead of a roundtable type thing, it turned out to be a SEMINAR. The woman who hosted it started to lecture us on everything we singles have heard a million times already. In fact, barely 5 minutes into it, a man and a woman got up and left, and so did I. It's frustrating enough being a straight asexual without putting up with this sort of BS. I went home, signed in, and left that group. All the more reason for me to start hosting potlucks for singles at my place once I get it fixed up. I have a formula that none of the other singles meetups are currently using.
yankees51988 Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 You should have just gone up to an attractive girl on your way out when the meet thing turned out to be bs and asked them if they wanted to leave and get a drink instead of listen to the seminar. 1
Mr.Mango Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Seminars are rarely fun, so I doubt a dating one being fun to sit through. You really shouldn't place such a big emphasis on these things though. Had this seminar been a normal meetup then you're chances wouldn't have skyrocketed. The only advantage is that you know everyone's single.
mario_C Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 That's some BS. Meetup and similar services are great, but be wary of snakes like those seminar sales weasels. A dating party is not a sales pitch. (No, I don't like people like that at all. Is it obvious? )
