I felt the matches didnt really work as I got matched with my friend I came with and she and I got matched with the same 2 people, so I didnt really have a opportunity to meet the rest of the group.

Ross

The addition of a selfie photo might have made it work a bit better for matches. I didn't see the point in the clues. I had several really nice conversations with a good vibe, definitely worth going :)

Gemma

It was a good group of people. Venue was nice. The grouping system was good and having time between the matches was the best part honestly. I only had 1/3 matches work at all, but we are going to continue to talk.

Mark

Firsr time at a singles event and the AI matching made it my easier to talk to people. The general vibe was that this is a better option than dating apps, connecting with real people and I agree.

Aaron

The event was great the venue was nice but it needs to be more accessible to people with disability's. The over all match making questions i thought was too vague and the time given to talk with a match was too short

Shane

My first match was okay, but my second and third match but older and taller than me. With the last one being much older. I feel like I had missed opportunities cause I was forced to sit with someone and chat.

Riccardo

I preferred the mixer event because of the freedom of it but I wish it was with a younger range than the 30+. Ideally I’d go to a 25-45 mixer but not another matchbox

Damien

The music is way too loud Everyone I spoke to agreed that it was was too loud and even don’t really need live entertainement We are there to mingle and only need some light background music I would struggle to return again if music is played this loud as I can’t hold a conversation with anyone

Vicki

Fun time. Love the venue. Matchbox was actually a really good format of group mingle, match, group mingle, match etc

Avon

I’m a first timer, the view was amazing, people are friendly but my 3 matches weren’t quite a fit for me.

Aaron

Great event my only thing with these meets is that if your coming to one, be prepared to talk to people and as a guy (because i watched this happen more than once) gents if she gets matched with you and isn't interested leave her alone don't aggressively approach and then get cranky when she isn't interested

Tenaya

I just wish there was a bit my structure to the night plus mingling as people don’t want to do with themselves for a while a the beginning

Sarah

I did have an issue where I was unfortunately matched with a friend match, and that person didn’t seem to be at the event any longer. And I did feel that the cost for the event ($40) was a bit high considering no drink or anything was included. Otherwise it was a good evening with a fair mix of people.

Teodora

Great event. The Mystery Match was much better than the mingle events. I would do it again:)

Steve

It was a fun evening. The matching provides for an introduction to a stranger which helped.

Carrie

It was a good diverse group of people. Everyone was there for the same reason so I liked that.

Dominic

Need to be better imo. Not matching with people I want to talk to. Very let down

Aline

Interesting event. I liked the structure of it and met some great people but, AI was way off with my match

Andrea

The algorithm wasn’t accurate in my opinion and one match left early before even meeting.

Clinton

It was good, fun night out and met some interesting people!

Klaudia

Well organised, good mix of people, friendly and helpful staff, great venue

Ryan

Brilliant, well thought out events. Would recommend!

Liz

The host was out in the foyer on her phone for most of the event. It was disorganised and awkard.

Mike

Why did a get a match with a man (I’m a heterosexual man) in the 2nd group. Wasn’t happy.

Jed

Apart from being a little cold everything was great. Heaters in the venue maybe? Met lots of ppl in and out of the groups. Found my matches to be super engaging, not sure about the physical, but the personalities were great for 2 of them. My 3rd match was a friend match and a no show… apparently there was some sort of compensation for this?

Raviteja

It’s good but My 2 match’s didn’t showed up

Mel

So much better than the dating apps

Crystal

Was better than I expected it would be. Everyone was very nice and welcoming.

Anna

A fun event, something different! Thanks Thursdays x

DEAN

Great event had by all

Dominic

Best night ever! Meet new people get better at dating!

Jairam

It's okay. Crowd maybe wasn't my vibe

Lily

I had no idea the match I had were totally not I looked for

Ryan

My match wasnt great. But i did meet a couple of great people

Luke

Good event. Well-organised. Recommend

Ashley

The mingling at the start was my highlight, I made a few friends during that because I was able to talk to who I found attractive/interesting rather than being boxed into a certain group or ‘match’. If this scenario was to run again I think the questionnaire should factor in what age range you’re looking for considering (as a heterosexual woman) that a 30 year old man and a 45 year old man will have very different priorities, lifestyles and goals. I got matched with 3 men very close to my age when I was looking to meet someone in their forties. Overall it was a fun night and a made a female friend, but no connections as such with the groups and matches I was in.

Mo

My first match thought best to help her friend find her match and the other matches either didn't show up or just didn't reveal who they are. Big waste of time. On top of all that as person who gets his name mispronounced 90% of the time I have to kindly correct people. But if I mispronounce a name apparently it's ok to go on a 5 min rant and humiliate me. People were mean, selfish and unkind. This is my second try, I hate to think this is the best representation of singles in Brisbane.

Dividing the crowd up into groups means you have far fewer people to talk to, and if your matches ditch you like mine did, you're left standing there on your own for half an hour waiting for the next match. You can't even go find some other girls to talk to while you're waiting because literally everyone else is chatting with their matches. Completely fucked. I wouldn't do a Matchbox event with this setup again.

Hannah

My issue was with the men, which I can't blame matchbox for but I wanted to call out. I was followed through the venue by one man, several complained to me the venue was to spacious and preferred people being closer together. Overall the men displayed creepy, and uncomfortable behaviour. All the woman i interacted with were lovely. I also understand this can't be helped, but I was not attracted to any of my matches. Some physical description matching may have helped.

Ada

Had no ideas

Would not recommend for 30-35s, as most of the guys looked like they were in their mid 40s while the girls looked much younger. So there were a lot of girls not wanting to talk to most of the men, while the only 2 hot men got to meet lots of pretty girls and pick their favourite of the night. The AI matching didn't really work, I had indicated that I highly value health and physical fitness and the guy I got matched with was the complete opposite of that. I know looks aren't everything, but it does affect compatibility and I would expect to be matched with someone who's around the same level of physicality. Meanwhile, my friend said she wouldn't date anyone with kids, she got matched with a guy with kids twice. It would work better if there was a vetting process where they match you not just to values but to concrete things like income, physical attractiveness and age difference to make the matches more compatible. Overall, I did not meet anyone I was interested in I want a refund

Chloe

Very disappointed with the 30–45 event. The women were overwhelmingly attractive and clearly made an effort, but there were very few men who matched that level of presentation or attractiveness. Most matches were significantly older than me, and despite stating I didn’t want to date someone with children or someone inactive, I was seated with two men who had children and matched with several inactive people. The pre-event questions were too vague to properly assess dealbreakers, lifestyle, career and future goals. I felt the event was a waste of my time and would like a refund. I would only recommend it if age groups were tighter and matching actually considered stated dealbreakers and compatibility.

Daniela

The probability that one genuinely connects with someone is very low due to the quality of men who go to these events there are few who can be a little interesting handsome 1 or 2 considering that I am young I did not find someone who would align with what I am looking for I was to try but the truth I would not go back and more because in what I could observe the same people go to the same events, it is very crazy that they make you go with tumach to the other tables I did not like my first match and he was full of me because we had the same tables that should be optional literally I felt involved and I did not want to be rude as to remove him

Josephine

I couldn’t see any of the people I matched with fitting into my life. We didn’t seem to share many interests or have similar lifestyles. While our conversations were polite, they were somewhat limited in terms of what we could share. If I am totally honest, I found myself paired with people I wouldn’t even be interested in becoming friends with. The people I spoke to outside of my matches were actually more engaging in interesting to me.

Simon

Absolutely terrible. From conception to execution a total unorganised catastrophe. The question whilst insightful had absolutely bearing on the matches. Let me explain I didn’t see a single person in their twenties matched with anyone in their forties so why as question to match people if the whole premise is based on age. You would have to have learning difficulties not to see that this is how is played out. Overall very poorly run and organised and will never do speed dating again after this experience.
