Good event. Enjoyed the venue. The ratio was a bit off. There were a lot of men than women at the event. At my first table there was one girl to 5 guys. Hopefully the ratio can be better next time.

Lee

I felt like some people didn’t know what to do or what to expect. What would have been nice was have the groups start a little sooner and then alternate everyone. That way we all can get to meet everyone.

Rhett

I was happy to do the matching, the event was fun. Unfortunately both of the ladies I was matched with decided, with another lady, to go dancing somewhere else and left around 7. The match making started at 8.

Bryan

The matchbox was a good idea. I think it would be better if the match reveal was earlier in the evening. I also really enjoyed the match wristband events. Those were great!

Cameron

as a single man, just dont bother to give me any friend matches that are other men. id think most of us arent interested in any of that.

Kevin

Can you make it easier to find your profile link to share with people? I"m talking to a gal last night but I can't find my link that easily

Troy

I was extremely underwhelmed by the questionnaire for how much time was given to complete it. It took maybe 5 minutes to complete and we don't even get into our groups until almost two hours into the event. It felt like a waste to show up on time.

Alex

Event was ok. Venue was really cool. Matchbox is probably better than other events I've gone to. However the ratio of men/women needs to be better. For every woman, there was 2-3 men.

Robin

People were walking in that were uninvited, didn’t have wrist bands and were participating. There was no accountability and it made me upset I paid for entry.

Taylor

The event ran as expected and flowed well. The crowd was pleasant and easy to talk to.

Diego

The venue was awesome and the participants were cool for the most part, I just wished it was more evenly distributed among both genders

Mr.

You need controlled ice breakers to separate people from small groups and shy people are not able to approach others in conversation. Ice breaks separate people every 15 mins so everyone gets a chance to talk to more people. Ring a bell walking around and ask people To go to the next group or ice breaker task.

These are a fun way to get out of your shell and meet new people. And they don’t necessarily have to be love interests, you could make new friends as well. There’s no pressure in terms of committing to your match - the overall goal is to interact with people and have fun :)

Alicia

This event was so fun and well planned! I loved how we got to mingle as we wished before putting us in groups. Getting my match was exciting!

Teddy

Went to the one at Mesa, in Costa Mesa. Only complaint was the music was way too loud

Jessica

I always enjoy myself at Thursday events especially at Mesa however the last two matchbox events I've attended would have been better without the matchbox component

Armaan

Recently the ratios been off. Usually more guys than girls. There is the chance that a guy may match with another guy

Mackenzie

I was disappointed to match with another woman. She was lovely and a very nice person, but the point of going to this was to meet single men and I was excited to match with a man, which did not happen. I think each person should be presented with two or three matches instead of just one

Lindsey

The men to women ratio was really uneven- favoring men! Seemed thrown together not organized well

Nelson

It was a very good event. Have the host maybe go to the middle of the venue and let people know that a text was send with the group you have been assigned. It was so loud, plenty of people did not hear the text. It would help if the event host or assistant give some positive motivational words when people walk in the front door, to mingle and be open minded.

Huy

Start earlier and maybe have multiple matches?

Fiona

My match never talked with me. He was with other girls all the time.

Mina

I felt like the crowd was younger. I would like something that’s from 40 and up

Chris

So much fun. My throat hurt from all the chatting and my face hurt from all the smiles.

Chris

Too loud to socialize.

Tanya

This is my second matchbox event and it's really a hit or miss if your match is compatible.

Abbey

My match was good age match but not a great match on important things like he had rated highly wanting kids and I had rated highly not wanting kids so I think those things should be taken into account for the matching process. Also the prices for those events have been constantly going up With no corresponding increase in what is offered. Otherwise. I like those events!

Edwin

Need to add questions

Elizabeth

It was fun!

Alex

Was run well enough. However they need to get more women to go. Every event there are about 20-40% more men than women. Either allow women free entry tickets to a limited number or cut off the amount of men able to go. Not the fault of the host, as I've been to other events... But I didn't see a single woman I'd be interested in. Just none that were my type.

Armaan

A

Jeff

The ratio of men to women was awful.

Michael

The ratio was extremely bad. Way too many guys compared to girls

Yosh

Get more chicks so it’s not 3-4 dudes for every girl

Saeed

In my opinion, everything was good, except two things that could be better We were divided in group of 10-15 people for 3 times , we would be march with someone, but I never found who I was matched with ( there was not enough time for it and people were not all following it) Second one which is kind of common I guess , the male to female ratio 😁 probably 4 to 1 was that .

Richard

The venue was fun and I made some nice friend connections but it was in spite of the matchbox programming. The group ratio was wildly unbalanced and people weren't really following the structure of finding and connecting to your "match." I might as well have just gone to a bar without paying a ticket fee and have made similar connections.

Ryan

Thursday’s Matchbox event at Mesa went off without a hitch. I was offered a complimentary glass of rosé upon entering, which immediately set the vibe. I got three different matches throughout the night. Unfortunately, the male to female ratio was pretty off so 2 of my 3 matches were guys. But the one girl I matched with was very friendly and sociable. You have to make an effort to talk to everyone to get the most out of it, even the girls you don’t get matched with. The venue was classy and just the right amount of space. Despite the ratio being off, I would go again.

Catherine

Love the idea of a more organic approach to meeting people. That being said, the venue (Mesa) did not feel good. If you go, take a layer for the open courtyard, and anticipate bad lighting until it gets dark. The male/female ratio was uneven, so I matched with another woman (selected heterosexual in the quiz). But I did make a new friend!😅

David

This event was terrible. It was s singles event where there were 45 guys and 30 girls. Every girl was swarmed with guys, plural. Then they broke us into 4 separate groups. The groups were huge and 2 of the 3 matches I got were MEN! The one girl I was matched with I had literally zero attraction to. What a waste, terrible event. I enjoyed the half of the night where I hung out with my guy friends more than trying to talk to the girls at the sausage fest.

Gabriella

The event brought out more women than men. As a woman I wish there were better options in regards to men. Most of them weren’t suitable potential matches. The event felt a bit chaotic and disorganized. Everyone was left to mingle until the event started and once it did there was no direction or clarity on how it would be run. I didn’t know anything about how the event was going to work before attending. I felt lost, confused and somewhat out of place. I wish it would have been more casual, relaxed and easier to understand.

Sabrina

The host was very personable, but after getting in, I never saw him again. I got my match sent to my phone, but it took a long time to find him. There were way more women than men it seemed like. My friend got a “friends match” and didn’t even get matched with a man, her preference. Last time I did this we got 3 matches each. This time it was only one, and no indication it was over. It’s a fun time meeting people, but honestly I could do the same at any bar and just talk to people.

Joe

Too many dudes

Vivian

I got matched with another woman who I had already spent time chatting with. Don't make it seem like a dating thing at all. Even if there is a difference in ratio, find a way to rotate people because how is that fair otherwise? Just say this is to make friends only then. The quiz you take is so generic and the scale isn't great for matching. The groups were huddled into such a tight space leaving half the place empty so you couldn't really mingle either. Also I did talk to other people. One said he was actually in his mid 20s after chatting for almost an hour. And another one talked about his ex wife on trial for murder. So... Great quality there. If you do go, don't get stuck in one place, expect only to make friends just in case they don't even match you with anyone. And ask for their age before chatting.
