The reason I am organising this is because I cannot find something like this happening already, otherwise I would have just joined.
Those who think I am being unfair, they should not come at all. I have heard of many horror stories from females in a few of my British meetups (like guys not taking NO for an answer, pestering, even ignoring the female's partner and butting in to start a conversation and worst of all coming close and feeling up *which is ridiculous*).
So keep it clean, couple friendly and fun. I will be keeping an entrance fee for single men. Feel free to not show up if you don't like the idea, go for your other usual social activities.
Now I just need help with:
- Identifying a good activity and contact to book it.
- Ideas on how to enforce this entry cost for single men only. If it was UK, I could list it on groupon and they will collect via paypal, or put it via paypal directly. Any idea on how we can do it here as I dont want to deal with cash and be busy collecting while not mingling.
In case people are wondering, what will happen with the money. Well, we will buy food, gifts, etc with that money on the same day - open to any other suggestions?
I checked with a hotel for booking pool-side or beach side area, and they want an advance for that, so maybe we can RSVP first, collect money from single men and perhaps some token (less) cost from other participants as well to do such bookings.
BTW: If anyone has problems with single men having to pay, then they should challenge all the clubs and bars (like Irish Harp) who have a ladies night when entry and drinks are free for ladies, but all men have to pay entry/membership fees.
Ok so here is the deal.
