Weird age brackets! Almost 20 years for the first event and then 10 for the second? Would be much better doing 25-35 and 35-45. I don’t want to date a 52 year old at 41 either ðŸ˜

Flip it round.Â
Go to both.Â
Oldest at the one.
Youngest at the other.Â
…Look I’m Ace so not my thing but at 39 dating a 20 year old is weird. I would have been first year Uni student the year they were born. Actually old enough to be their parent.

These events are pretty hit or miss

Hey guys?! How are this single events going for you? I think sometimes might get a little overwhelming for girls, to many boys approaching to them. You can see a lot of boys not talking with anyone (or just chilling with other boys) but almost always girls are talking with boys.
Also the ratio are sometimes even like M70/F30

I’ve actually worked the bar at one of these events. People barely mix, and there’s heaps of people who are dickheads to the service staff (obviously single for a reason).
I saw one bloke going up to women and saying ‘alcohol is a solution to all problems!’. I snapped the stem of a wine glass and he went ‘coming out of your pay check!!’.
At the end of the night he was drunkenly trying to (unsuccessfully) hook up with a lady. He turned to me and said ‘I’m trying to pick her up’, acting as though the woman couldn’t hear him. What a loser.

There’s a mix of people at each event, and ‘obviously’ people are going to vibe and match with different people in persons. (age diversity?)
The age range is not saying that people at either end of the range are being paired up, or suited to one another.
Edit: I think the point of the post is you’re 40 which is in neither of the non-overlapping age brackets for these events.

I’m 34, don’t know why but those evens are a bit weird for me, happy to don’t go to either 😄
these all seem to be straight events. does anyone know of any gay/les events like this?

Can’t you just go to a pub for free and meet people there though?

I’m actually going to one of these soon and am fucking terrified. From what I’ve heard it’s a mixed bag of results but it’s a better environment to be genuine than it is to be on the apps.
Even if you don’t walk away meeting someone you should atleast have a good story to tell.

I guess the 40 – somethings didn’t have much luck on RSVP. That’s how I met my wife (aged 31, back in 2013) and nearly every couple we met in the years after met their partners.
But I can sympathise with the women in trying to find a man who isn’t insecure on one side or a misogynist on the other.

My parents put me in a kids club at a hotel with a minimum age of 5 when I was 4 and 3/4. You’ll be alright.
