With all of the commercials on TV, I wondering if anyone has partaken in any of these events and had any luck. Anyone??
 
I followed a friend who is on match to one in CT. Ive never been to any of those things before. It was OK. The restaurant they used was nice. A LOT of people though. we made it to the bar, drinks were good and cheap surprisely.

anyway a lot of guys stood around looking timid as hell :rolleyes: :lol: mostly older ones struck a convo..my friend was turned off cos 1. most of them were WM and the ones she did want werent about going to women, seemed like they wnated women to go to them..anyway I talked to one dude who bugged me for my # so I gave him my google #..he was pretty funny.

anyway if you go you're most likely gonna have to go out of your way to talk to someone..smile, go with a friend that wouldnt take the event too serious. If you're an extrovert, you can go on your own! Dont go too early or late, make your way to the bar and go from there

Have fun :)
 
I'm in Miami, and I've been invited to them. I always RSVP to the free ones, but cancel my RSVP the day of, or day before. I get too nervous.
 
me too I scheduled to go to a free one in NY but cancelled before hand because it was raining...
 
Went to one yesterday. Overpacked at one point.... Not enough attractive guys! I saw more black people than I expected, women mostly. I did exchange numbers with a really nice and cute guy who just moved here and he spent some time in my hometown so.... There's something! Lol.
 
^nice! who approached whom?

were the men to the side like frighten kittens? then again if there were more black people..probably not.

LivingDol1--also, did you go alone or with a friend? All my friends have SOs... so unless I find a single friend... ugh... although being alone tends to make women seem more approachable I hear.
 
I went to a Stir event last week with a girlfriend who is on Match....my experience was exactly like FelaShrine!

It felt like junior high school with the guys just hanging back and staring on one side of the room and the women mingling among themselves.

I really believe that most of the men online are socially awkward! :/

His friend saw me sit against the wall on the back rest of a couch and he thought it was smart so we all started chatting. This was towards the end of the event. I had only talked to 3-4 other men but not for as long or one on one like this last guy.

I went with 2 girls. My friend and her weird friend. I was alone for the first 20 minutes bc I got there first. But I didn't see anyone I wanted to talk to at that time. I also didn't want to get stuck talking to an ugly or weird dude so I didn't make eye contact. Lol.

The guys over all weren't very approachable. The girls were far more outgoing.
 
I had the same experence stated upthread. I live in a predom white city and I didn't expect much and that's what I got. The women were def more aggressive than the men. I'm not a mixer/bar kind of person and I hated it. There were some good looking men for sure but ...eh. I went with a friend who's on match. I might try a different type of event but not a bar type of event.
 
i went to one here in ATL with one of my Soror/girlfriend and it was mostly WM's with a few BM scattered but not many to choose from. Mostly women(WM) the service at the bar sucked they only had two bartenders for like over about 50 ppl. I think we ended the night speakin to a couple of BM's and women at a table but thats as far as it went. LOL

Actually struck up a nice convo with a WM that was really funny and had a nice sense of humor. And was nice looking for a WM.
 
Ok so I got ballsy and texted the nice cute guy I met last week. He replied immediately and asked if I was free Thursday. Yay. :)
 
I think for me stir events would not be any better than meetup. I am looking for something specific. I used match in the past to search for a specific type of man and it was great. To just be thrown into a room with a bunch of men,I can do that for free. When I was on match, they would send me a bunch of men who match me. Why not put those guys at an event with other women that match them. That would be hot!
