I recently messaged the organiser of a local social in order to get an invite, they read message but never replied. Is there a set criteria I need to fit to be able to get an invite to a social?

If it's advertised in the Meets and Events section look in there and use the thread.

No, and neither is Steve. Steve McClaren was "Second choice Steve" for the England football job a few years ago - and DAMN! I promised someone I would be a football-free zone today too!

I don't blame you. Not very sociable if they're going to exclude people

You know you can't do it.

As for socials... many men sign up and half turn up but you have to assume those that sign up will attend.

Yes been turned down for a local social. Was told I was not what they were looking for. Fussy buggers. I always thought the idea of a group social was for all types to mingle and to get to know each other.

so much for there being no cliques on here, just goes to show the opposite is true.

Was it a forum social?

I liked the inclusive nature of the formal socials that used to happen.

Organise your own social and be the better man with a mature and adult attitude. If they ask to come.....

No not a forum social. Advertised on the hosts couple profile. Felt like they were picking for themselves. When I told one of my fab friends she was livid that they should be so picky.

So it was a couple scoping their local 'talent' rather than a social?

Have helped organise one recently to help newbies get verified. It was a great success.

That's akin to a private party then.

Would you expect to just accept anyone who asked to, into your party?

I wouldn't.

I've organised socials where everyone was welcome.

I did find it sad when I got messages asking if they were what I was looking for. It didn't matter if I was attracted to them or not, it was a social for everyone to mingle and get to know each other.

It doesn't because we have been to socials where everyone has been welcomed.

It is a social which it is held monthly and I believe is well attended. I'm apparently not good enough. No sour grapes. I wish them every success

It doesn't mean you're not good enough it means you're not what they're looking for. None of us can appeal to everyone.

little house on the praire

Op there are lots of socials that are inclusive. The ones that are thought up here in the lounge most definetly are, there will also be those looking for a certain type of people unless you fit the bill you wont be invited.

There are plenty in the meets and parties section further down the page.

There has been some huge brilliant socials organized.

If it's the one I am thinking of, you aren't missing much!

Many possibilities.

They had enough responses.

They didn't want any more males.

They didn't consider you suitable.

You will never know so don't sweat it.
