Valentino

I really loved this event! The event was perfectly organized and ran very smoothly. The matches I had made sense on compatibility but I made more friends than I did romantically.

Alexis

This event was so much fun and a great way to connect in person! I will say the crowd was mostly aged between 25-40 so keeping that in mind depending on your age range! 10/10 would absolutely come back!

Ky

Very cool how 3 matches were made instead of just one at the end. Helped meet new people. The texts were going through on time which helped navigate the event. Great atmosphere!

Garrett

It was fun! The venue was a good choice and the crowd was a good mix of people. I think gay dating can be difficult but at the very least it’s a fun networking event haha

Jerod

It was such a fun experience. I had never been to anything like it and a lot of people I met hadn’t either. Everyone was vulnerable and open, which made the nerves settle for me (a little lol).

Danielle

I think the concept of it was great, I do think the price was a little hefty for sort of just putting us in groups to chat. There is 100% more to physical attraction but maybe that can somehow be included in the questionare

Mark

The turnout was pretty good. I got to meet some cool people. I just wish there was the opportunity to match with more than one person (speed dating style) to get more 1 on 1 time instead of just dividing people into sub groups.

Kevin

This event would have been much better if it had a matching gender ratio. There were a lot more men than women and this discourages me from attending another one.

Blake

With it being such a big group it’s hard to find the people you matched we need Name tags. You give a name tag sticker we just write are name to make easy for staff and the customers participating

David

I gave my match a chance to get to know her, but she excused herself after about 15 minutes. I didn't get a sense everyone was intentional. I mixed with good people regardless men and women.

Jasmine

Great host, fun event but algorithm doesn't seem to match accurately. Ive attended 2 match making events and both gave me matches that weren't accurate.

Brittney

It was a great event. The space was a good choice. Thunderbird is a cool place, they weren’t on top of the bathroom maintenance and refills though. We all appreciated the inclusion of the queer community in these events and look forward to attending more.

Annais

I went alone it was such a great turn out I loved it met so many beauties of all kinds, will definitely attend another event.

Chris

I never found my match, so I have no idea if they were a good fit. The directions that were provided to help you find your person, were very confusing and the very delayed texts, didn’t help. Even at a discounted rate, I spent too much money.

Dylan

Event was generally good! One of the hosts used a handheld loud speaker to inform us, but still couldn’t hear her from where I and others were at. Physically Numbering the meet up spots would have been helpful. Got one good vibe but one other didn’t seem to want to synchronize, and that’s ok.

Matthew

Great event for LGBTQ+, only other thing missing was compatibility for sexual preference of top or bottom .

Alex

I was expecting multiple matches from what a past attendee had described and when we only got one I thought it was not good value for my money and time.

Brandon

Event was great, it was organized and inclusive.

Emily

Women’s tickets should be free. Questionnaire needed more personal questions (e.g., hobbies, introvert vs extrovert, likes animals, etc.). Please consider allowing individuals to match with individuals who are within their desired age range.

Jailene

So much fun!! I left with so many new friendships!!

Daelantae

Overall great experience! Had a great time and really good interactions with my matches!

Todd

I likef it it was fun did need more than 3 matches I felt like 6 woykd be better

Stephanie

Great event and easy to navigate!

J. Alfredo

Sexual role should probably help find better matches

Brandon

Maddie's matchbox events are very organized, well timed and welcoming for all singles. Highly recommend.

Jose

It was interesting and fun. Only met two of the three matches.

Domonic

It was fun and interesting. Some questions from the questionnaire were too broad and did not allow me to give more about myself. I would like if the questions were more personalize, and asked about interests. Being asked if I am an active person was a good one, but I wanted more of those super specific personalized questions.

Kevin

Be wary. My "match" was a "friend match" and was a fellow heterosexual man. Easter of time and money

Eryn

Cool event, would definitely recommend if you want to try something outside of the apps

Kristian

There were too many guys to girls so I got a guy as my match which was very disappointing

Tylor

So much fun! We had a blast

Joey

.

Brad

The vibe was that it

Elias

Felt organized, could’ve slightly been more in line with times and getting settled. Felt like the quiz should’ve been done prior to coming in since you spent like 10 mins or so doing it while everyone is just standing around, felt like we weren’t as disconnected from them. Questions could’ve been a bit more personal, and the rounds was kinda hard to find the next person.

Zee

It was cool…I feel like the matches didn’t know what they were doing. Which lead to “what now”. The timing between the matches could have been better. Maybe if they had a hot take about the match that they showed then that would be a good convo starter…but there wasn’t much. Basic lame questions. Also I didn’t love how I had to look at my phone instead of focusing on my match the whole time. That was not great. Matches were okay, not really room for flirting or romance..but whateva. Staff was SUPER nice!!

Hector

It was fun

Aleksa

Nice way to get out of the house and mingle with people

Adam

Mykel

I had a good time

Wisdom

This event was a fun way to socialize and get to know other singles with minimal pressure. I do wish the survey/questionnaire went a little more in-depth and had more answers to choose from, but overall was a nice experience. I’m glad I went because I hit it off really well with my 3rd match and exchanged numbers. We have a future date planned and I’m super excited!! Recommend to anyone who has never gone to an event like this or is curious if they’ll find someone they are interested in based on relationship science.

Lindsey

This was my first time attending and I really enjoyed the event. The matchmaking portion was well organized and I loved the conversation prompts after being matched. My only suggestion would be to have a quick icebreaker or a bit more structure at the very start. The check-in and mingling time felt a little unstructured. Overall, it was a great experience

Max

The venue was really cool, and everyone was nice. Although the survey questions were overly generic "y r u gae" vibe type questions. Lame questions produce lame results. There were a lot more female presenting people than male which is hard for me as a male seeinking a male presenting person. Also the venue was really loud making it hard for me to have conversations. I chose this event because it was advertised as a more chill lounge setting than a bar, but then the music started thumbing and everything was just white noise lol seems counter productive to having connective conversations.

Kody

Great atmosphere

Jason

Very fun way to meet people

Paul

Heard about it from a friend and I was skeptical but he assured me these events were worth a shot. I went and was pleasantly surprised. Met some cool folks, my "match" was intelligent, pretty, and seemed like a good gal. There wasn't a ton of chemistry tho. Meanwhile my "2nd match" is someone I probably would have assumed wasn't compatible with me, as it turned out I was wrong. I'm low key excited to see where it might go. Our time to chat was brief as the event was kind of going into a kind of lightning round mode. I definitely hope to talk to her and see about a formal old school ass date... My "3rd match" was a straight dude, like me, and we both were wondering if it was a mistake or a prank. He's a cool dude tho and we went into wingman mode.

Casey

I think this event being on a Wednesday made it more limited than the other events. Fewer people, and the space felt more corporate vibes than a comfortable setting to get to know a potential match. Not having anywhere to sit was also unenjoyable - especially for us ladies in heels. I really like Match, and wish the event would have utilized the restaurant's normal space. If I did another match-maker style event, I'd try one on the weekend and in a different event space.

Ron

Much to be desired.

Chris

It was a cool event just a bummer that ratio was really far off so it got pretty awkward when the results were released. If there was a way to ratio it 50/50 that would have been a lot better. By the time we got to our last group there was one female to 5 males. Then getting matched with a person I didn’t resonate with was strange. Other Thursday events have been great so negativity on the program as a whole.

ERIC

I was told that if a heterosexual man (me) was paired with a man, that I could get a free ticket to the next event, as that is an issue with male/female ratios. The host said that she would email me for a free ticket, however, no email came. I emailed this morning and was told that no refund could be given in an email that looked automated. Also the email assumed I wanted a refund and did not address the concept of "a free ticket to next event." I was made to sit and watch everyone else having a good time communicating with their match, meanwhile I sat alone and humiliated (my male match left, as he was also a heterosexual man looking for what the event promised; a romantic date opportunity, not male bonding).

Omar

Event sounded great on paper and decided to check it out based on curiosity. Unfortunately, I left feeling disappointed (I was immediately blocked on IG by match despite being amicable in conversation. We both didn't seem to be too into each other, but decided to exchange IG handles out of respect). The whole experience left me hesitate to try match making or Thursday events in the future. Thanks for organizing, but probably won't return.
