Let's be clear - I am not referring to a dating club, rather a club where you get together with other singles and participate in various "fun" events. No pressure to date anyone, but of course, there's always the possibility of finding someone that you like, even if you're not looking.

Has anyone ever done this, or would you consider doing it. Please comment if you'd like and/or respond to poll. Thanks!!

You mean something like a Meet Up group for singles or "Single Young Professionals" type of activities?

There is an organization that constantly advertises in West Palm Beach called "Events and Adventures." It should be called "Events and Adventures, For Losers". I know a girl who took them up on their free month promotion and she says she still has nightmares about the creeps she met.

Single people who are winners don't need some contrived club or organization to get laid. We meet people organically through common interests such as working out, kitesurfing, racquetball, etc., as well as in random places like Publix because we have the confidence to approach someone we'd like to get to know.

The only structured services I use to meet chicks are internet dating sites, and only the free ones. Not because my real-life game is lacking, but because these sites allow me to screen dates for potential deal-breakers (such as smoking or having children) before I waste any time on them.

Default Let me clarify...

I voted no, But do not think people at these events are "losers." They are simply attending an event of people looking to meet other singles. I personally would not though. I like to meet people by chance, or introduction through friends etc.

For the people at singles events, i hope all find someone good to be with. That poll was little rough, Man.

So is it safe to say that even though the club emphasizes that it is NOT a Dating Club, it would still be seen as just that, due to the fact that there are only singles attending??

What ever happened to a bunch of people getting together just to have a good time?

Sorry about the harsh poll D. Scott...I'm just saying what others may (or may not) be thinking, lol.

OP, the thing about going to an event that has "single" on the selling line is that, IMHO, people attending are most likely "looking" not just attending to have fun. I think that puts a lot of pressure on people. I'd attend an event that interests me like hiking, running, yoga or something like that and if I happen to meet someone I like, good, but regardless of the outcome, since I like the activity, I'd still have fun.

I voted no, but I wouldn't call those who would "losers".
