I signed up for this because I thought participating in fun events, in a group a environment, would be a good way to meet someone. It seemed like a better alternative to meeting someone at a bar or through a dating service, which can be awkward. \r

The first meeting to learn about the service is very high pressure. They don't discuss the pricing on the phone, so you have to attend an in-person meeting to get the information to decide if you want to join. They ask you questions about your salary and try to get you to sign up on the spot, which I did. I will take accountability and say I did not ask enough questions... like what their cancellation policy is, etc. \r

I was excited at first and signed up for a few events right away. I was EXTREMELY disappointed. They told me I would probably never run into the same people because they have so many members and events. The same exact people were at the first 4 events I went to. Not only that, but there was basically no one my age at any of them (I was 25 at the time). It was mostly 40yr old women at each event (including 1 event that involved playing Wii at a bar). They also had to cancel 1 event because not enough people signed up for it. Despite my immediate dissatisfaction, I was going to continue to try a couple more, but then one of the event leaders started calling me. He had obtained my contact information off the list from the event and called to ask me out. I felt very uncomfortable with this and decided to not attend any more events.\r
\r
After making this decision, I looked into the cancellation policy, which I believe is something like 24 hours. The timeframe basically doesn't even allow you to attend 1 event to figure out if you like it or not, which seems ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! I spent close to $2,000 on this, thinking it was going to be so much fun and that I was going to meet a bunch of great people. I feel like I was taken advantage of and that my money was wasted. The staff was extremely rude to me when I asked about a refund and when I asked to discuss it with a manager, they said one would call me back. I never received a call and got no where when I tried to follow up.\r
\r
Needless to say, I do not recommend that anyone sign up for this. I also wish we could get a group of people together to take action against them. Also, I looked them up on the BBB website and they have had 52 complaints in the past 36 months (as of 1/3/11).
