If someone's organising a function they surely have the right to say yes or no to potential attendees. Obviously if it's in a club or public place they can't actually stop you being there but if it's in private, even if that's just a function room I don't see why it should be open to anyone and everyone

I wouldn't be attending a social that was potentially exclusive to some.

I see socials as all inclusive, or they cease to be what I define a social to be.

I think there's a difference between balancing numbers and exclusivity though and the OP doesn't make it clear which this is - I can totally understand an organiser trying to have a balance of single blokes, single women, TVs and couples for instance if that's done on a "first come first served" basis and would have no problem with that - however if there were a criteria such as "looks" or "body shape" then that is different, especially if the criteria weren't disclosed as part of the event announcement.

I used to organise the Bradford social with my ex partner, the only criteria we had was single guys had to me members for over 3 months, unverified couples and ladies had to chat to us on the phone, no show were blocked from future socials

If a social does not add you to the list they should at least give you a reason as to why not x

Criteria for events are usually listed on the host's profile.

They are usually pretty standard things like must be verified, or must have public photos.

Even though events are social, a host likes to know the people they are inviting are genuine, and are also likely to turn up, as numbers are always limited by venue capacity, and others may have been turned away.

Occasionally an invite may be withheld if a host is concerned that someone may not gel well with their other guests. Antagonistic forum behaviour or status updates could be reasons for this.

Brighton - even Hove!

The Sussex social is run by a new couple who have blocked men from contacting them so I can guess what their criteria is.

Organise one yourself and then you can decide.

If people go to the trouble of organising an event they’re entitled to set the criteria.

Nope... Hosts are generally experienced enough to be able to decide this for themselves. It is their party after all, and if they want to ensure that they have a good mix of people who will get along, have plenty of chat, laughs, etc., they're more likely to extend invites to people they already know will make that effort, or at least people who have attended other events and were well-received.

Again, antagonistic, sulky behaviour and an air of entitlement as if hosts owe you an invitation won't get you anywhere.

That doesn't mean anything. If someone wanted to come, they had to say so on the forum thread, then I would contact them to let them know if they were invited or not. Lots of people were invited that I would of had blocked

It looks like a social to find people who will want to play together. Specific types. I'm not their type but I see no problem with that.

I do agree it's rude of them not to reply to people who have asked for an invite, but as most women and couples on here gleefully say they never bother replying to messages, "oh well!"

There and to the left a bit

Having now read through the social thread - to be absolutely fair to the organisers they've offered a perfectly reasonable explanation as to why they might not have replied a day or so ago.

I've never organised one, but know plenty of people that have and it's a logistical nightmare trying to keep an even balance, making sure that the area they have booked I both big enough, and will be filled.

Talking about criteria is a little unfair OP as it doesn't appear there is anything underhand going on at all - you requested an invite 5 days ago, 3 weeks after the event had been posted and I suspect you'll find they are already close to the size limit of the area booked and are having to juggle people as a result.

Perhaps a little patience is all that was needed.
