Arranging socials

I see from time to time people have arranged social events but not sure I've ever seen a single guy do one. I also see some forum posts from guys asking why they don't get replys. If a single guy arranged a social meet would people come? Or like recieving a message from a single guy would it get by passed?

I think the guy would need to be verified and known like a regular at a club I tried to do it before then a female that organises them regularly pointed out all the things I hadn't thought of

if it's well organised then yes I'm sure people would come.

I've seen many both guys and female advertiding socials and they have failed In my opinion due to lack of organisation.

If your thinking of doing one get a venue and choose a date then post it and see what happens.

Anyone who free I'm sure will come along and you will always get some who can't make your date but would love to come along but you can't please all of the people all of the time.

Good luck if you decide to arrange something xx

Seems a lot of single guys dont have patience. They think of a social at the last minute then get arsey because its short notice for people then no one goes.

If arranged with notice and a venue etc sorted im sure people would go x

I've organised quite a few socials in the past that have been very well attended.Problems can be contacting folks with filters on and ,if it's a bigish social,you may need to take some kind of returnable deposit to deter time wasters,secure places and ensure everyone gets total discretion .You'll have more luck with interest if you've been a member for a while with verifications etc.Good luck though.

I agree should be verified to prove genuine but wouldnt say had to be a reg at a club to arrange socials

Thanks everyone for the input. That all makes a lot of sense. I was hoping to use a social to get myself known, but after not to much thought I might be better going to some rather than trying to arrange one. Sometimes I'm not the sharpest knife in the box.haha

I think you defo have the right idea attaneding events first that way you have an idea of what they are like in reality ....

Drinks night and a full blown social are very different events so probs best attending both to see what's what.

Dont really think they have to be known to go to lots of socials either really

It does help if the person organising them is well known.

Most trust them especially where money is involved.

I do think variety is the spice , each area brings a different vibe and each person brings a different vibe that I agree with

But....

When passing money over I would be extra cautious now due to sabotage of socials, con men etc. I certainly wouldn't pass money over to someone I don't know.

Drinks nights are easy to organise

In my experience a social event can be hit and miss.

Pick a date and venue and then put an ad in the meets and events page as well as the Forums

Choose a limited number of attendees and stick to it

I am quite lucky in that I know of a few venues I can procure for a small donation, the venue makes their money via the bar.

Overheads for you are chiefly catering and initial donation.

I can and have catered for socials without serious spending.

It can be done and organised properly needn't be a drain in finances. You could If you chose charge a small fee to cover expenses,

Yeah suppose but if its a small drinks gathering and no money needing to be paid then im sure you dont need to be well known in social circles

I agree if it's a small gathering then there's more of a chance of pulling it off....but sadly sometimes single male are tarred with the same brush so it may or may not work

No harm in giving it a bash thou

I think until now I considered a soical to be anything from a few members getting together in a pub to a full on rent a hall type affair. I didn't know there was a difference in the naming of both types of thing.

Im sure a small drinks night no fee required might be good place to start

A social can be anything from a few people getting together for a coffee, lunch drinks or full blown socials on a larger scale all open to anyone whod like to attend.

The organisers have the upper hand tho in who they won't allow to attend for their own reasons.
