Really blown out of the park! Didn’t know what I was getting into but I was impressed with the vibe, professionalism and attention to detail the hosts provided. Also the algorithm worked! I have a date this Sunday!

Great event! Really liked the questions they gave to matching people. Only critique is that i wish there were more direction on a mic rather than only text messages it was a little chaotic and the groups were too big to actually meet and talk with everyone.
Chris
This was a really great experience. As an extroverted person, I made a lot of great connections. Also, I was able to bring others together too that were a bit more nervous or reserved and helped them make connections too. Great event! Great location! Great host!
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.
Matt
Great event overall I didn’t get to meet my first or third match but did meet other people who were there and made friends still.
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
Jason
Thursday’s event at Thunderbird Lounge was great…great venue, well organized, and terrific hosts. My only suggestion would be to do the three matches like they did at the last event instead of just one. It gives a bit more opportunity to find a good connection.
Natalia
Valley Bar was not a good venue for a matchmaking event. It was too dark and there was not enough seating.
Alex
Single / ENM needs to be fully disclosed before matches are made so we’re not wasting one another’s time.
Axel
Good event, got slit if people in the same area. Unfortunately, human nature is hard to control. There was a lot going on at the same time as this event which added some twists and chaos. It wasn’t bad but it didn’t help the situation. I don’t hold the host responsible as the venue coordinated the other items for sure.
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.
Felipe
It was good. A little underwhelming I would had liked to dance more
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.
Casey
The event was run pretty well. The turnout and gender balance ratio felt pretty good as well. I just wish there were a way to filter out single parents from these events. I don't like to be discriminatory but that is a big dealbreaker for a lot of people. I also wish that you had more than 3 matches in a night / had more potential women who were into me.
Courtney
This was a fun event and set up well.
Brandon
Event was great, it was organized and inclusive.
Jailene
So much fun!! I left with so many new friendships!!
Ankit
Overall, hats off to the team—I love the event! If I could offer two pieces of feedback for improvement: Walking into a room where people are already in groups can be intimidating and a bit of a confidence killer, especially if you're shy. A simple greeting is nice, but it's tough to introduce yourself to an existing It would be great if the matching/activities started right at the event start time (e.g., 8:00) rather than waiting until 8:30. Getting people mixing right away would really help break the ice.

Sexual role should probably help find better matches
Stephanie
Great event and easy to navigate!
Gabriel
The questions show clear bias against non-religious people. I answered "disagree" to every religious/spiritual question, then got matched with someone who was "very spiritual", with the app saying "maybe they'll help you find deeper meaning in life". Extremely condescending. You wouldn't dare tell a theist they needed to embrace reality or that their match has the correct religion but you don't or some shit like that. 2 of my 3 matches didn't even show up to talk, so there's that as well. Also, fuck this AI algorithm bullshit. You don't know anything about me, much less a "secret only the AI knows". It's glorified auto-correct, it doesn't know or understand a single fucking thing.

It was interesting and fun. Only met two of the three matches.
Cierra
Valley Bar is not a good venue for this type of event , the parking situation was bad and guidance wasn’t provided to address that. As a single woman I didn’t feel safe walking to and from the parking garage. Inside the portion of the venue reserved for our group didn’t have adequate seating . It was also loud and crowded in our area which made navigating the room and speaking with people difficult .

I went to a 35+ event and it was a lot fun. Being in an environment where I knew everybody was open to meeting people made it easier to walk up to people than traditional settings. I'm female and first approached other women that were standing alone. The matchmaking questionnaire seemed more for all age groups than specifically ours and I don't think the questions really matched me with men I would date. Talking to others, they felt the same. But it created groups that got people talking a lot. There was also an icebreaker thing that was unreadable since we were on a dark patio. I made 2 friends, a male and female, and will be seeing them soon. Overall, a great experience. Very chill and fun to meet a lot of people I wouldn't necessarily approach otherwise.
Kaelynn
I thought it was fun! Great expectations set so I knew what to expect. Outside of my match I met some nice people that I may connect with again too. I liked that we had a “section” of the venue but there were still other regular people there, it kept things feeling organic. The attendees were also a pretty mixed bag of all kinds of people, which I think is fun, but some might not like if they’re not as open minded. I appreciated that there was an age range so I didn’t feel like the oldest person amongst a sea of 20-somethings.

The venue was okay, but it was hard to find and the lighting was very dim. There was not enough women at the event - one of my matches was male and I'm specifically looking for women to date / serious about dating and looking to marry. I hope more of these events take place in areas besides downtown as well. Consider doing Westgate or more western Phoenix or areas where you don't need to pay for parking, or include free parking with event purchase. Overall the women attending were nice but I would like to see more serious women attend these. There are so many that seem to come "just for the vibes" and there needs to be more of an emphasis on dating with intention and purpose. Tightening the age range would help too, since I've been rejected twice at these events for being too old.
Kellie
This was my second matchmaking event. I appreciated the age range of this event but I was matched with my worst match from the first event I went to and it was incredibly awkward because we did not like each other. I paid $30 to drive out of my way and have one bad drink and be forced to make small talk with someone I already did not connect with before we both shook hands and called it a night. Also, we only got one match unlike the three we got with the first event. This event is not worth it if you only get one match. Some women were assigned other women as a “friend match” since there were too many women compared to the number of men at the event. Mixed feelings if I will attend this type of event again.

The vibe was that it
Erika
It would have been better if we could have completed the questionnaire before the event because when I walked in, it was very awkward seeing everyone on their phones and not engaged. The host didn’t seem to do anything to encourage mingling like bringing others together or explaining how the event was going to go. I received a lot of the information from people who had gone to the events before. I also heard a lot of feedback that people couldn’t find their match or they never showed up which is what I experienced on my 3rd match and I think if we knew more about how the event works would have helped with that.
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!!
Maya
When I arrived it was difficult to find the host. When I asked if she was the host and if she’s where I needed to start she seemed annoyed and was very short. I was already nervous. Then the description of the event didn’t match the next action, I would never recommend this event to anyone and honestly it was so bad I snuck out. I ended up getting matched to the same sex-very lame.
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.
Bri
This is not an event I can recommend. They did not have an equal amount of people show up so the majority of people who came to a DATING/SINGLES matchmaking were paired platonically. It’s disappointing to see you advertise at other events you want equal numbers and I know more people walked away without a possible date. This was a waste of a Friday night. A waste of money. Super disappointed in this all together.
