    I was recently divorced and just wanted to meet some new people to hang out with. But I have seven-year-old twins that I have shared custody so I can only plan events every other week. Going to my first event with Events and Adventures, I was a bit anxious but when I got there, everybody was down-to-earth. I went to one of the new person meet and greet thing for January and then went to play pool one night. And then I went to a dinner last night which was fun. Going through these three events, I've definitely made some friends that I could see and hang out with, but have no interests in anybody. So far, I can see meeting more friends out of this than relationships.

    I didn't have a lot of friends in my area so Events & Adventures was a way to get out and be social. I've gone to a lot of events including dinners, movies, hikes and trampoline dodgeball which is my favorite. I've attended a comedy show, volleyball, wallyball and bubble soccer. Sometimes we get together in the park and play football. Just this past weekend, I went to the Shedd Aquarium.

    The one complaint I have about the club is you sign up for events and you have to pay right away to be able to attend. This makes sense because they have to pay vendors and other things. However, I have found that when I cancel one of them, it can sometimes be a headache to get my money back. I've had to call them several times to actually get them to credit my account for an event that I canceled on. They give me bank credit if I cancel within a certain time limit. There are also deposit events where I can pay $10 and if I go, I get my money back. I feel pretty good about those events. The club has been worth it and there have been a lot of fun and cool people. I dated a woman for about eight months. Also, there are people that I'm starting to get to know in the club. I'd like to get together with them outside the club because as much as I enjoy Events & Adventures, it's not something I'm planning on being part of my entire life.

    I've tried Match.com and other dating things and it hasn't been as positive as my experience meeting friends through Events & Adventures. I got interested in it because of The Singles Club as it is a way to get out and meet people. I've participated in The Jump Street Dodgeball, trivia night, pickleball, hikes and movie nights. I've done side trips with the group members. The events are too many to count but I like all of it. Meeting people and feeling included in the club was the best part. They have international trips which made it a little expensive and I wanted to go on them. I like that they keep coming up with new things and all you have to do is show up. You don't have to think about anything.

    I'm single again now and I realized that I was looking for women in the same places and not finding anything, so I figured I would try something different. Then I found out that Events & Adventures is a social event and is a whole, big thing, besides just dating. So far, I've attended about five events and trips. My overall favorite would probably be the New Year's Eve party which was my first event. I'm outgoing and I was excited to walk into a new environment. The only thing that's weird was that when I first showed up, I was on time but there were only five people there and I was not geared to slow down to have that. I wanted more because it was New Year's Eve and I was ready to party. So, I went to another establishment and had a couple cocktails and went back. After I came back, there were about 30 people and it was cool. I mingled, danced, and did my thing.

    I find that the more enjoyable part of Events & Adventures is the after-the-event get-togethers, which are more sociable and entertaining. I like bowling and we went bowling as a newcomer, and it was fun. But I was on one lane and there were two other lanes of people, and they interacted a little more. We went to a bar after we got done bowling, and then that was a little more enjoyable than sitting there in a bowling environment. However, I won't partake in dance classes anymore, because that wasn't what I wanted to do. But everything else is good. How they've arranged things is perfect. I went to the circus at the Alwun House in Phoenix for a couple of weeks and the performances were good, but it wasn't worth three hours of performance. You can only see people play with fire and a ball so many times, three times max. But that wasn't Events & Adventures' fault.

    I have found new friends and met new people that I talked to at Events & Adventures, but I have not yet communicated with any of these people outside of a group event. I've only been there for a month. But so far, I enjoy it. On the whole, it was interesting, fun, and adventurous. I've gone into different social environments and I've broken out of my normal social environment, which is good. I'd recommend them to a friend.

    I got interested in Events and Adventures because I wanted to meet new people. I was a little bit nervous when I joined my first event because I didn’t know anybody there yet but I felt comfortable after that once I met everybody. I have done over 50 events with them which include a lot of the regular weekday events, Halloween, and the New Year’s party twice which is the best. I'm going to play volleyball tonight and I would love to go on the England trip. I would definitely recommend Events and Adventures to a friend. It's a different experience and it's fun. It definitely gets one out of the house, and it's better than sitting at home on Saturday nights. It's not a perfect experience but things rarely are.

    My experience with Events and Adventures has not been great. They advertise like a dating site but when I go there, it's a bunch of singles. I got interested in Events and Adventures because I thought it would be fun to go on an adventure and meet a cute, single guy. But the problem the way the contract is written is a guy just doesn't have to be married so technically he could still have a girlfriend. And when I was talking to other members, a lot of them were not happy and said Events and Adventures is disorganized.

    When I signed the contract, I was fine with it because I had an office near me and I'm getting a good discount. But I had to leave out of town for an emergency and there are no Events & Adventures clubs around me and they won't consider giving me my money back. It's frustrating because they're freezing my account indefinitely until I move to a place where they have a club. I'm all out that money and I'm so mad as hell.

    People need to be warned. If they're going to be in an area where there's an Events & Adventures office around them and if they don't want to meet anybody and only want to have a group of people to go out and do things with, then it is not a bad thing and they can get a nice discount. But, they are on the expensive side. I have to pay for their service and depending on the type of contract signed, I could be paying them way more than it's worth. In the future, I am hopefully going to have an Events & Adventures office around me but I'm only going to get my money back. I'm going to go in for the activity and then I'll leave as a protest.

    I'm new in Minnesota. I just came up here for the job and so I wanted to meet some people around the area and do some activities. I then joined Events & Adventures. The first event was awkward but I went and showed up. I've met a few people and it was fun. I made myself go to a couple of events before the meet and greet session and it was fine. I'm an outgoing person so eventually, after doing the first two events, it started going better and I started recognizing a few people. I've only been in there a couple of months now but I have attended at least 50 events and the New Year's party and the Karaoke are the funnest ones for me. I tried out different dinners, bars and meet up kind of deal and professional events, and I've met a lot of young professionals. However, I've not met the significant other yet. But it's been good, so far.

    A friend told me about Events & Adventures. I liked the idea that I can do activities with people that are also interested in the same things, meeting new people and increasing my social circle without having any of the pressure of online dating. I felt nervous during my first event with them but it got a lot easier about 15 minutes in as more people started arriving and the host was introducing everybody. Everybody was friendly, welcoming, excited and it didn't feel awkward.

    I attended 15 of their events such as a couple of happy hour events. I went to the Ugly Sweater Pub Crawl which was a lot of fun, volleyball events, and hiking events. There were two art walks too where we walked around into different art galleries and went to a country dance club. I went a little crazy in February and signed up for a lot of stuff. This Sunday, we're doing a Super Bowl party and I'm going. Next week, there's a vintage Valentine's Day party with a 50s thing based on the movie Grease. They're also doing a trivia night later this month. There's a mechanical bull riding event and a karaoke event coming up. There are several restaurant events, dinners, and drinks too.

    I made so many friends through Events & Adventures and we've even gotten together outside of E&A. I joined a hiking group that one of the members in E&A organizes on his own, gone to the movies with groups of people, and we've met up for March football. It's been really great. It was a really good decision to join and I'm doing things that I probably never would have done by myself or ever thought of doing before.

    One of my co-workers referred me to Events & Adventures. It's low-pressure unlike one-on-one match-making, or dating, and that it has a variety of activities like indoor, outdoor, formal and some casual stuff. It's everything from dinner out to comedy, to chili cook-off, bowling, pool, day-hike, visiting the Amish in Arthur, Illinois, New Year's Eve party, dancing lessons. So, I was interested with the opportunity to do all kinds of different activities, some that I might already like and some that I might wan to try, and to meet all different people.

    The first event I went to was CorePower Yoga in Lincoln Park. There were only a few people there so, there wasn't much social time, other than beforehand while we were waiting for everyone to gather and for the lesson to start. But during, everyone was pretty much focused on doing what the instructor said. Since then, I did more events. I still like doing occasionally events to interact with other people. But at some point, I gradually found that I was interested in doing other activities that allowed time for socialization and talking with people. I go to about six event per month.

    I also did bowling sometime in the last couple of weeks in January, flag football in November, a hike at the Morton Arboretum in November, a day trip to St. Charles, a day trip to Arthur, Illinois. In December, I did every event they had going on between Christmas and New Year's just because I was off work. They also had ice skating at the Maggie Daley Ribbon in Downtown, Chicago. I haven't been ice skating since I played hockey in 5th and 6th grade. At first, it was a little awkward but I just did a lap, rested and then kept going. While I rested, I chatted with people. And with each time, it gets a little better and better and I was having more fun.

    Then in January, I went to a dinner and belly dancing at Alhambra Palace, which was cool because I love Middle Eastern food and I was curious about belly dancing. They had such a variety of different ages, cultures, shapes and sizes of belly dancers and even men too. So women got to watch men belly dance too. Every now and then between sets, they would grab people from the audience to belly dance with them. The woman who was sitting next to me who was right on the edge of the dance floor gave them a run for their money. And seeing the guys belly dance, the men go, "Well, shoot! Why don't we do that?" So, I suggested, "Hey, let's have a belly dancing lesson event."

    Recently, I did ballroom dance lessons at the Fred Astaire Studio in South Barrington, Hoffman Estates. I never had dance lessons before but when the schedule came out, and that was the first one that jumped out at me for January 19th. I'm like, "I need to do this." So, it was the first one that I signed up for. It was a little awkward at first, but they were really great because I wasn't the only one. There was a bunch of us, men and women. We were able to feel like learning and doing something competently in a fairly short order, and have fun and change dance partners frequently.

    Each of us got to dance with each other several times which helped a lot with my confidence. Had a fun time that by the time the evening was over, I was ready to take up the studio on their offer of coming back for a private lesson, half off and a free dance party later. So, next Tuesday, I'm going for a private lesson. And then, the following Friday, I'm going back for a free dance party.

    I don't have any friends besides the people I work with so I decided to try out Events and Adventures. I was born and raised in Arizona so I was looking for a way to go out and enjoy doing stuff with people. I was a bit nervous but excited before my first event which was laser tag. I haven't done laser tag in a long time so it was a lot of fun. Since then, I've gone to a lot of events. I really enjoy those where I go out with a larger group and then we break up into smaller groups such as the Biosphere or the haunted house. I haven't been on any real trips out of state but I've gone to different shows and mini golfing. For this month, I'm thinking of going to the Superbowl Potluck and the Food Truck Festival.

    While I like that members can become hosts and I was interested in becoming a host, there were times like this magic show I went to, when I sat with hosts and ended up by myself during the entire 20-minute intermission, sitting there playing on my dead phone. They were all arguing about the different events and how stuff wasn't done right. It was really frustrating to be at an event where I felt like I was sitting by myself especially with how much money I pay for this. They should make sure that hosts focus on the event at hand. I wasn't offended but I was frustrated because I went home and when people asked me about it, I'd say "Oh, yeah, it was cool but I should have gone by myself". Nevertheless, I really love the group because it's a great way of doing things I enjoy with people who enjoy them. I always describe it as a place where you go with a group of strangers knowing you're going to have a good time.

    I saw Events & Adventures on a website and have been a member since August.

We went to the Biosphere in Tucson, outside Oracle, and that was fun. I've only been to 5-6 events and have made a few friends. I would recommend Events and Adventures but I would be hesitant to say it’s great for everybody.

    When I first signed up, I was given the impression that it is a safe place but in some of the places we’ve gone out to lunch and after our hikes, my expectation was that people would have better behavior. Some of the guys are really out there in the way they talk around mixed company. I’ve been in conversations that have gone pretty vulgar and it's awkward. I had the illusion that maybe it was gonna be a little different scenery and it’s weird for me so I watched where we hang out and I looked for a little bit more comfortable arena. I don’t really feel one can meet a significant other in that kind of a scenario if one's looking to raise the bar in their life. That’s my only inhibition right now. So I keep it light and airy and go on hikes but I don’t go to other situations because I don’t feel very safe at that point that it's actually gonna stay right and appropriate.

    I've always been very interested in meeting new people. With where I was in life, I wasn't meeting that many new people. So my goal right now, for being part of EA, is to make friends. I'm not necessarily looking for another relationship but if along the way I can meet new people to break out of my already existing circles that I have here, then why not? In my 2 months as a member, most of the ones that I’ve been to are meet-ups at bars. I did a new member's meet and greet down in San Jose, which turned into a bowling night. I went to the Pace Gallery one time and that was cool. It's an extremely modern art museum located in Palo Alto which is very high tech with a lot of digital graphs and digital designs. And tonight, I'm going to Oakland Zoo where it is lit up with Christmas lights.

    So far, my favorite is the bowling night. I actually wasn't planning on attending. The girl that I drove up with, she and I both drove down from San Francisco to attend the new members group because we were both new members and we had met up at our first event together. We decided to drive down together to carpool. Originally, we weren't planning on staying for bowling. But then afterwards, of the people who were there who had attended the new members meeting, a good portion of them were staying, and so, we stayed and it ended up being a lot of fun. I, personally, didn't bowl. I just sat there and drank but I had a lot of fun making commentary, just talking to everyone. And it ended up being a fun time.

    I was unsure of what’s going on before I went to my first event because I’m newly divorced then it changed after that. I attended about 7 events. I went to a jazz night towards Halloween. The Paintball was fun and the Stars game was okay. I’ve done Game Night and I’ve met up at the Perot Museum. Then I went to a trampoline park and that was fun as well. We played volleyball there and you can’t do that by yourself. I’m just testing my waters on how that all works and haven't made any friends yet. I didn’t realize that some of the contacts are really done through the Facebook site afterward. It’s the logistics of it because before you sign up, you can’t find out who’s already going, which is understandable.

    In general, Events and Adventures has been pretty good. I understand what the expectations are. It’s obviously not a dating site but more of a social club, and that’s what I’m realizing that I need to learn how to interact, get out, and meet new people. If I’ve been going into this just wanting to find a date, then my expectations would not have been met. But I knew that I needed something else than that and so it's good. However, it’s pretty expensive and that's my biggest issue. It’s not for everybody. But I like the mix of events and enjoy it. I’m satisfied.

That’s the one that I think would have been my favorite, but we signed up and then they said they didn’t have enough signups so they canceled it.

    I was nervous and excited before going to my first event with Events & Adventures 'cause it was a trampoline park. But I had fun. I attended eight events and my favorite was the game night and the volleyball. I also did the art exhibit, Urban Air, the German food, the Wine and Tapas, country dancing and Glass Cactus. I met new friends and everybody is really friendly and welcoming. There were a lot of young people and there were not really a lot of people that are in my age group. But Events & Adventures is really an opportunity to explore new things.

    I liked the activities that Events and Adventures offers. I was a little scared and awkward during my first event, but that changed especially after meeting other people and making friends. I've been to more than 10 events, the Sherlock Holmes exhibition and the Halloween party being some of them. Then I signed up for the Good Lime Party and the Mingle event. The night hike was one of my favorites. However, I wish they had a mobile app so it's easier for us to check on events. Also, the information on the contact person is not up-to-date on some of the events. I also sent a feedback on the Sherlock Holmes exhibition that I wish it was earlier so that we could avail the other exhibits and go to them since the ticket was for a general admission. Other than that, it's a good investment to explore the places with people who can become my friends afterward.

    I like that Events & Adventures have constant things going on and you’re out doing actual things, not online. I was nervous the first time I arrived in their event. I went with five events so far--game night, movie, the painting party, sand volleyball and among them the game night was my favorite. I’ve met a few people there and I’d call them acquaintances. It’s really designed to make friends because it’s about 70 percent girls, which is fine. I know people meet someone eventually and date. They might have guys join it but they don’t necessarily stick with it.

    You go to an event and there would be 30 people there in which there might only be three guys among them. Now obviously, if you go to a sporting event, there are probably more guys. But it’s designed to give singles a place to do things. To me, it’s definitely more of a social thing. It’s not like the people that run it introduce you or put you in touch with specific guys. They do have social media, but almost nobody uses it other than the administrators. I was never led to believe that it was like some super dating and I was never disappointed. I joined to make friends. You just need to know what you’re getting into.

    My friends and I were on the same old routine every Friday and Saturday and I figured I could get out and see more with a bunch of new people. So I joined the Events & Adventures group in the Washington D.C., Maryland area. Then I moved to my current group here. I'm 30 years old and it's harder to make friends when I move to a new place and Events & Adventures was here so I joined back.

    I was nervous before arriving at my first event back then. I was going to an ice-breaker with an average of about 90 people at the time. It's a little overwhelming but I was open-minded about it and it didn't take me long to acclimate. I used to do three of four events a week in my first group. I toned it down a little but should be getting back up to at least three a week here again soon. I’ve done some of the most fun activities I’ve ever had with complete strangers, all doing the same thing I was doing. I have gone white water rafting, really enjoy camping with the big groups and like all the outdoor activity trips, but the coolest and best experience I had was the jet boarding and jet packing. It’s fantastic and a little spendy but one is gonna enjoy it if he/she does it.

    I’ve met a lot of people that I do things with in the group. If a Saturday or a Sunday event doesn’t do it for us, we’ll go watch a game together or go out and take a walk around one of the lakes that we’re doing with the group. I also dated one girl from the group but she had to move. Events & Adventures got rid of the person that was signing people up and saying they're gonna find a date here. I knew coming into this that I'd get out of it what I put into it. Join up to make friends and things will happen if they're meant to happen.

    I would say that when people sign up, especially new ones, the more they do it, the more they're gonna enjoy it. Our admin, Heather, likes it when I'm at events with a lot of new members because I've had a couple of years of experience and am one of the people that gets out and does all these things. I'm a spokesperson for the company. I promote the hell out of Events & Adventures. I really enjoy everything I've done in the group. Everything’s casual and there’s no pressure situation. It’s not an awkward blind date. It’s fun.

    I heard Events & Adventures through a friend. Then, I joined in August and have attended six events; I was definitely excited in my first event. I've done the mingles, the volleyball, the new member event, the social event, gone to a few of the dinner events, like the Greek dinner, and we have an event coming up this Friday. I've made new friends but the only thing that I don't like about the program is that it's such a mix of people in different age groups. I'm in my 40s and it's really hard to meet people in my own age. One of the things that would improve the whole service that Events & Adventures provides is to have more events that are more separated by age groups, like 40s and 30s and 20s because I see that there is an age gap with everyone. In certain events, age doesn't matter, but in others, when I'm trying to socialize, the persons in their 40s are not going to have as much in common with someone that's in their late 20s or early 30s.

    I live by myself, was getting sick, tired of hanging out with myself, and the club was a way to get out of the house and meet new people. My son heard an advertisement on the radio, and told me about Events & Adventures. I was a little bit apprehensive what my first event would be like, would I be the oldest person in the room? What would these other people be like? However, everybody was friendly, and it was a very pleasant experience.

    I've been to 20 events. I more faithfully attend the Premier Clubs and the eating, like foreign food restaurants. I've also been to the Mystery Room, where I get locked in a room, have to get myself out, and I have been to a couple of theater events. This Saturday, I was going to go to the game night, and there's a couple more later this month. Some of the activities are not things I would ever do, for example, go skydiving, or bungee jump. I didn’t join up specifically to meet someone. However, I met a couple of women, and we went out a couple of times but we never became compatible enough to go any further than that. Nevertheless, it's a worthwhile experience, and I've recommended Events and Adventures to several people.

    Events & Adventures caught my interest because it was for singles. I learned about it through a friend and on the radio and I was excited before arriving at my first event. I've been to about 10 trips so far and my favorite is the hike. However, I've put upcoming events on hold for a month because I've been very unsatisfied and I feel that I was taken for my money. I asked all the questions in advance and was told that their members are 60 percent female. However, it's actually about 90 percent female.

    I also found out that one of the hosts is not single and that bothers me. He hosts all the events and that was very easy to figure out via Facebook because the hosts are members. I'm waiting to not be so fuming pissed off and if I was not in such a binding contract, I would be going in there trying to get my money back. I've also consulted a lawyer. I keep hearing the radio commercials on my Pandora and I want to throw my phone out the window because it's ridiculous.

    And the age range of the members was what really got to me. The lady told me that most people are between 29 and 39. But I did 10 events in 30 days and I met a 65-year-old man. I'm 34 and that's not what I'm looking for. On top of it, where does their money go to? There has been nothing included in anything. There's not even a discount and they don't make phone calls to get group discounts. Every other person told us that they've had to change their view of Events & Adventures and turn it into something else. Since I joined with my best friend, I turned it into a fun experience.

    I'm relatively new to Vancouver and single so I thought to check Events & Adventures out. So far, I've attended two events. The first one that I went to was the ice breaker and games night that they do once a month. And my favorite was the second one that I went to. We went on a harbor cruise boat party and it was really fun. I really enjoyed Events & Adventures and the people are really great, but it definitely seems to be way more women than men. That’s what some of the other girls were saying, too. But the good thing about when we went on that harbor boat cruise party was we were only like a group of 12 that went on. But then there were 250 people on that boat so it wasn’t just us.

    So when I go to events where there are other people, I have my home base of these Events & Adventures people and I don’t have to hang out with them the whole time. That’s why it worked so well because I had a group of people and a set of tables I could hang out with, but I could also go and mingle and dance. And there was a whole lot of other things going on other than that. I've also recommended them. In fact, I bring my friends with me to events and they all wanna come with me.

    I heard about Events & Adventures on the radio at 2 o'clock in the morning on a cold February going back to Montana. At first, I was skeptical. I heard it again and I let myself go to see what it's about. So, I pretty much scheduled online and came in and then I found out really what it was about and what it all entailed and gave them a try. What encouraged me to want to become a member was all the activities that I had no clue existed here.

    I've only been a member since May, and, right off the bat, I went on two camping trips. I've done almost a hundred events by now. I was pretty calm and casual about the first event. I did six years in the active duty of the military, so I was used to just jumping into things and not knowing what to expect, but hope for the best. So, I was pretty excited to get in my first event and then I got there and met the host, who is now a good friend of mine. She introduced me to everyone,

    we played volleyball and it was a blast. Furthermore, the host always knows how to make everyone feel welcome. I got to witness it firsthand with new members always coming in and how anxious they look. When they meet the host, they start meeting everyone right off the bat before the event even starts. Everyone's calm and it's like everyone's known each other forever.

    I never tubed before and didn't know what the New Braunfels Memorial Day tubing and camping trip all entailed, and it was my favorite trip so far. I now made friends in Dallas. My network had grown pretty much overnight on my first big event - that makes Events and Adventures great. The ones that I've gone to overnight, which have mainly been the camping ones, have never been a disappointment. I have recommended Events and Adventures to friends and then they decided to up and leave Houston.

    One thing I like about Events and Adventures is that they host these exciting activities that mostly I like getting involved in, like skydiving and sailboats, things that are not really on the normal routine a lot. I attended about 10 events in a span of two years. I was feeling awkward attending some of the events because people were single like me and also a little bit nervous. It was hard to connect with people who attend to these events at times.

    My favorite event was the dog sledding where we went up to Duluth. The travel was two hours and it was a group ride, which was nice. On the way there, I had a nice conversation with the other people. But the thing is, they were older than me. Then when we got there, I love their educating us and I love how they allow us to train us how to get the dog ready go on the sled, getting us involved with the dogs. I wish we could ride it for just a little bit longer. But then again, it was more of an introduction. There was also a big racing horse there and it was the first time I ever got close to one.

    I also went to karaoke. While waiting for my turn, I was talking around with others in the bar. And it did feel awkward because there are people who are just standing there, all nervous and didn’t wanna talk. They only talked to someone who they felt most comfortable, while some were not even willing to introduce themselves. I also attended a Latino dance class and other ones that I just signed up for but was unable to attend. I feel disappointed that I didn't get refunded for those.

    Overall, I love the events. They are exciting and fun but getting involved with new people that I don’t know made the events dead. The down part is talking and trying to get along with other people who were nervous or were there to make a friendship. The open up atmosphere is not really open to people. I feel the host could’ve done better in getting people to socialize or make everyone at ease.

    I was in a long relationship that ended back in 2004 and it did not go well. And so I took some time off out of the dating scene and focused on myself for a few years. And then I decided to start checking out the dating scene a little bit. I tried several dating sites like Match, eHarmony, IJL, OkCupid, Tinder and Bumble but decided to go with Events & Adventures, which I had been considering for quite some time. I went in, had an interview, and signed up. The gal that interviewed me was very clear in her communication that this isn’t a hook up club but an opportunity for people to get out, make new friends, try new things.

    There was a host here in the Seattle Chapter that was really positive considering everything he has to deal with. I’m very impressed by his work. However, I had a really bad experience with a host on my third event. I showed up on a poker night but the person who was going to put on the event passed away, and so they turned it into a mingle at a bar. The host didn’t have any signage, which was fine because I just went up and said, “Hey, I’m here for the Events & Adventures.” They said, “Oh, it’s upstairs in the back corner.” I signed in, ran to the restroom and when I came back, I got into a conversation with the host. He said, “Events & Adventures is for desperate people.” And that the salespeople who got me to sign up are supposed to hype it up.

    I was actually very upset about that so I said, “Well, I have to disagree. I’m not really desperate because I have a very large and a lot of good friends. I know all of them and I’ve met all of them and try to meet new people.” It’s not even about the activities because I do most of the activities that Events & Adventures does, but I’m trying to get to meet new people. And so he was like, “Yeah. Well, if you meet and if you see any good, nice guys, attractive guys or good catches, you kinda have to be there like right when they start to try and snatch them up before anybody else does because otherwise they’re gonna go off and they’re just gonna get snatched up by someone else really, really fast.”

    A part of me thinks that Events & Adventures just needs a warm body to coordinate the logistics at the time of the event. And often times the hosts, other than the introduction and signing in, are very easy to ignore or avoid if I don’t want to be around them. And then I got to know other hosts and found that that was not a consistent perspective with other hosts.

    I’ve realized that I’m not going to meet a love interest, but I have made some really good friends. In fact, I’m preparing for a dinner that I’m hosting at my home for about seven other people that I have met through Events & Adventures. Me and a friend from E&A also signed up for the Cuba trip in January which I'm really excited about.

    My membership isn’t even up until late next year, and I’ve already thought about whether or not to sign up again. If I’m going to stay, I might as well just pay for a lifetime membership because of the trips and the convenience of having somebody else plan them. It’s good for what it is and it’s better than It’s Just Lunch. They accomplish what they need but they need to work on recruiting better guys because it’s mostly girls and some are not always very pleasant to be around at events. There have been times that I have decided not to go to an event because there are people I don’t enjoy being around. But all in all, I'm satisfied with E&A for at least making the best effort to fulfill its purpose.

    I'm interested in doing different events and the trips so I joined Events & Adventures. I was a little nervous in my first event and now I've attended seven trips and my favorite trip is the Grand Canyon rafting. I just went to volleyball on a Tuesday night. I'm thinking about doing the Cuba trip but from looking at the prices, they are charging about double what it should cost. They should do a better job of pricing their trips. I recommend them to other people, but it's always with the caveat that one won't get a discount on any of the events. A lot of the new people I meet are always disappointed that they pay so much to be a member and they think they're gonna get discounts on events but they don't. But over the year, I've found a couple of significant others being with Events & Adventures.

He said he would give me a good price as this would be a good way to meet people!! Two days later I called to ask them to cancel my membership because I honestly can't afford it and the money grabbing scam artists told me all kinds of story!!!

    I asked to speak with the owner because I have never been to one of their events or adventures and would like to be removed!!! They started telling me that I signed and need to pay the remaining money!!! I told them I am not asking for the $100 back. They can keep it!!! I just moved here and have no family and limited resources and only enough money to buy food and pay my rent and these vultures would prefer to see you die of starvation and be homeless!!!

    I was fairly new to the area, worked from home and was looking to meet new people. I was excited when I arrived at my first activity with Events and Adventures. I've been with them for four months now and have probably attended 20-30 events and trips. Their Pie and Beer was a good pairing. It was in a new location of Dallas which I didn’t frequent, and it had a really cool vibe and neat concepts to it. Additionally, we had a wine and cheese pairing, we did an escape room, dinners out at new restaurants, game night, and some of the standards in our area. I also do volleyball every week. With Events and Adventures, I've made some new friends and it's been very good so far.

    What got me interested with Events and Adventures were the different activities they offered and I also like to do fun things with people. I joined in early June, and I've been traveling a lot this summer for work so I haven't been able to go to many events. I've only been to three, and they were fun. I was a little nervous during my first event but it ended up good. I've been to two dinners and then the hiking trip which I liked, and I'm planning to do a few of the events this coming weekend. Since I've only been to a few things, I haven't seen the broad scope of the members in Houston, but from that small pamphlet I've seen, it's not very diverse. In the dinners that I went to, it was 90% women which was okay. Everybody needs more girlfriends.

    My friend and I were new to the area and we were both working 80-plus hours a week and needed to make time for our social life. She was potentially going to join Events & Adventures and she told me about them, then we joined. I was little anxious arriving to our first event because they didn’t provide a lot of information and I didn’t know what to expect. The site says we got to call and come in, so I was hoping it wasn’t gonna be a waste of time. My friend and I both went in at the same time and did a two-person interview.

    I've been a member since March and have attended about 30 events and trips. My favorite was the Memorial Day camping which was shenanigans for days. It was an adults only campground so it was absolutely fantastic. We met with the Chicago group that had lots of great people and we have made a lot of really close friends who we clicked with and hung out with. Tuesday night volleyball is always fun, too, during the summer. So far I've also participated in Geek Trivia, paddleboarding, and the camping trip while my friend, Gloria, has done the horse races. I plan on doing Labor Day camping and a few more others. It's just frustrating that recently, I was having difficulty trying to get in contact with someone in the office and it seems like there's a lot of hoops to jump through to try to get to my final answer. I was able to take care of it today, but took a two-week process. Still, overall, it’s been good.

    I knew a friend who signed up for Events & Adventures and decided to sign up as well since I'm coming to another stage in my life. My business is a success, I was able to purchase a house recently which I'm very grateful for, and I figured there's really only one thing that I do not have right now and that is a partner. Going out and meeting other people is just a good way to expand my search.

    The laser tag was my favorite. I also went to volleyball, hiking and trampoline dodge ball. The trampoline dodgeball was fun until I hurt my knee. Sometimes the events were really good and sometimes bad and sometimes just okay. But I have to realize that it's not going to be rainbows and really when I meet people, sometimes it works well and sometimes not. I just have to be okay with that.

    I've had a lot of weird experiences with people. It seems like a lot of the clubs were nice but at the same time, I find myself having a rougher time with people than I would have hoped. I've only been part of this for a few months. I want to find somebody because I'm having the best year of my entire life and happier than I've ever been. I want to go out more, I go to parties and meet a bunch of wonderful people. If I meet a really great person here, I'm happy. If I meet them somewhere else, I'm just happy.

    I was in a crappy relationship and all my friends at the time were boring or had boyfriends, girlfriends or kids. So I went to check Events & Adventures out and I've been with it since 2006. It took three months for me to go up to an event because I was scared and shy and didn't know what to expect. But my friend reminded me that I was paying a lot of money for it, so I better go. I waited till the next new members event because everybody's new so everybody's going to be on the same boat as I am. I started meeting people and friends and then got comfortable and started going to more events and meeting more people.

    I'm still reluctant on going to any long-distance trips as I've heard mixed messages on those. My favorite event is game night, I always meet new people and have fun playing games and it's a time to go and and act like a kid. I made three best friends through E&A, but have never found a significant other. In the first three years that I was a member, I wasn’t looking for anything and afterwards, it was like if it happens it happens, but if it doesn't I'm okay. I'm reluctant dating somebody from E&A because one gets to see the same people, and if it doesn't work out and I get to see him it would be painful.

    I like social events and going out and doing things. Events & Adventures was right in my wheelhouse so I decided to sign up. I signed up in May, and have done six events now. I was at the fireworks on Saturday, which was good. We also went rafting on the Chilliwack River, which is one of the ones that Marco in his advertisements talks about in my local area that he really likes. I went out there on Friday night and we camped overnight and went rafting Saturday. Then we had dinner and hung around the fire on Saturday evening. It was good and it’s probably my best event yet.

    We went for brunch down in English Bay, Vancouver one time and on Wednesday, we're going to live music night in White Rock, a little beach town near where I live. There’s been a couple of other events that I would’ve liked to have done but sometimes the time or distance doesn’t work right. And then I've frozen my membership for six months since I’m traveling in September ‘till March. It's good that I have the ability to freeze my membership.

    With Events & Adventures, people are in the friend zone right from the get-go. Sometimes it might be challenging to get out of the friend zone unless they really make that connection. For me, it’s more of being able to go out and do things when all my friends are married and have kids and I don’t want to go to a pub or event by myself.

    I was frustrated with the town I live in. The counselor that I go to recommended that I check out Events & Adventures. I'm single and trying to meet people. I felt excited at my first event and have done about five events with them. My favorites were the dinner cruise and Cowboy Jack’s which were fun. I also went to karaoke. I'm going white water rafting, zip line and camping this weekend.

    However, there are a few things that I would like to have changed. I live in Rochester and everything is in the city. I was told that there were 3,200 members but I found that there are only 200 active ones. I'm disappointed that I paid quite a bit of money to meet more people. Also, the events have been 80 to 100 miles away from me, so I'm traveling 200 miles literally. I went to two events one weekend which was 400 miles travel from Rochester. I work until 5:30 and a lot of the events have been starting at around 6:30, and I'm not able to get to them.

    I would also like the events to be at places where there's going to be minimal people. There were six persons at the last event that I drove 75 miles to get to and for that few people, the venue was really hard to talk and it was very loud. There was no option of meeting other people at the venue. I'd like to have a place where it's a popular one so that if nobody shows up for events, there'd be others that I could try to meet or talk to. But there were a couple of the leaders that were really fired up and good. They really tried hard to make the events successful and picked a good place we could go to.

And apparently, "Rebecca" is the only one who works in member services as I can never locate someone other than her to get assistance. Good luck getting her to call you back. Recently, my bank re-issued its members new chipped cards. I have been proactive in trying to reach them to update my info. Here we are, many unanswered messages and two months later and still no call. I'm sure this will land in collections again. Rebecca's customer service has been abysmal and non-existent. I shouldn't have to fear this being reported to the credit bureaus and my credit score being damaged because that company doesn't have their stuff together.

    Someone at work told me about Events & Adventures and I was interested because of the casual events where we do some things and there's no pressure. At first, I was nervous, but I got more comfortable and felt better eventually. I've attended several events already. For St. Patrick's Day, I went to an Irish event where they had some people play in a band. I've been to a potluck at someone's house, I've gone bowling and have been to game nights, I've been to a tavern where the other one was down at the Elephant & Castle, and I went swing dancing for the first time which was fun. I'd like to do that again. Then I've gone for dinner somewhere.

    I went to Telus World of Science which was a good one. It was an adult night out so they had beer and wine then we got to go through the science center in the evening. It was really pretty because it was down by Olympic Plaza and the Telus looked like a ball with all these lights around it so it reflects off the water because we were down by Vancouver there. That was really pretty. Recently, I did a Hawk Walk and that one was really good too. I enjoyed going to a bird conservatory. Now I'm about to go camping and I'm looking forward to that. It's nice that Events & Adventures takes care of everything and I just need to bring snacks and stuff.

    I've met some people which had been great. There's a girl that lives about two doors down from me so we're going to carpool to the camping trip. And then another person that I met and talked with a bit is one of the event coordinators. I also met some guys which is good but I think everyone's still a bit nervous. Some people have just joined and I'm one of them. But all the interaction with people and getting to know them is nice.

    One of the best things that I've done was to join the club and to take that risk. I was separated from my husband and it was hard. I've been married for 18 years and it was hard for me to know what it's like to go out dating and stuff. A friend of mine had told me to join eHarmony so I did, but then I couldn't handle it. Then I ended up joining the club which is something I feel more comfortable with, meeting people one-on-one rather than the online stuff so I cancelled my eHarmony account and just stayed in the Events & Adventures. I've also already recommended the club to someone else. I've done some things and I'm happy. I'm taking more risks which is good. Overall, It's been empowering because now I'm feeling more confident about myself and my ability to get out there and talk to people, have conversations, and things like that.

I thought this was the perfect way to get out, have fun, and meet new people! I have made some fabulous friends in E&A, and there are so many events I love! Here in Minnesota, it can be tricky to find a lot of things to do, because if you wait five minutes, the weather changes! But our coordinator always tries her best to find something everyone can do, no matter what the weather!!

    One of my favorite events is the Haunted House Party Bus! I have never missed it! I love any event where we can get outside during the summer, whether it's tubing down the river, pontooning on the lakes, or simply going for a hike. The one thing that would make it so much better would be an app for phones. There are so many people who use mainly their phones, so a user-friendly app would make sign-up SO MUCH EASIER!!! I would recommend this club to anyone!!

    I needed to figure out a better way to get out and socialize outside of work. Events and Adventures is a better opportunity for it. I was nervous as all hell before arriving to the first event. That night after I got home, I had a change of mindset. Both during the sign-up period and then when I went to my actual first event, I got out of there as quick as I could, but then I decided that I have to give myself a push otherwise nobody’s going to. I’d been better off for it.

    I've attended 20 events now, and volleyball has been my favorite so far. Additionally, I’ve done a couple of hikes. I’ve done football, volleyball, sand volleyball, and an amazing race. I’ve done three pool parties. I did a horror movie night, Friday the 13th. I've also done a couple of volunteer events - one at the Rescue Mission and one at the park gathering food. I’m going to a house museum tour tonight, I’m going to a bar thing tomorrow even though I don’t drink, and I’m doing the camping trip at the end of the month.

    With Events and Adventures, my experience has been entertaining and fun, and I have made new friends. I would highly recommend it to anybody who’s in the same scenario whether single or divorced and don’t have a lot of time to get out and socialize. It’s definitely worth it, but as I would tell anybody, you’re only going to get what you put into it.

    Hey Thanks Steven for the great review - it sounds like you are using E&A exactly how it was intended, to get out more and have more fun! I'm a huge volleyball fan myself, hopefully we will get to be on the same court next time I am in Minneapolis.

    I had moved, and Events & Adventures is an avenue to meet people. I've been a member for 2 and half years now and attended a decent amount of events and trips. I like the camping in Vegas trip. I'm doing the Memorial Day camping trip, and in July, Vegas trip again. I've done the bowling events which were fun. Next week is Whirlyball. This weekend is game night, then restaurants. There's a lot of variety for me. It's a little hard though because I live 45 minutes outside of Chicago. Getting down there is a pain in the neck. I sign up for an event, but when the day comes, I'm like, "I don't want to drive down, because I don't feel like it." I've made new friends but I doubt I will meet a significant other. TI think the Chicago area is big enough and there's enough variety in membership that they could have a couple of different calendars, not necessarily every night, but more one suburban, one city.

    I've attended six events from Events & Adventures. A lot of them were a waste of time but the events that involved physical outdoors activities were fun. What got me interested was the promise of meeting lots of single people with common interests. For the most part, I'm not overly impressed. It does get me out of the house on occasion, but a lot of the events are mostly located a substantial commute from me. So I'm not really able to utilize the activities that they offered based on distance alone. They tend to misrepresent what they offer and I'm disappointed in the entire club format and the fact that you really can't cancel a membership after you try it out and determine that it's not what you were expecting.

    I love Events & Adventures! I was interested in meeting new people and I was excited about that during my first event with Events and Adventures. I had a lot of fun and met some really nice people. I've been to about seven of their events. We've had a game night, crawfish boil, a Cinco de Mayo event, and a trivia night at a pub. There's bingo tonight. We're going dancing on Friday in a country club. There's a fishing trip coming up on Saturday and then we're going to The Rocky Horror Picture Show on Saturday night. At the end of the month, we're going to a night club. There are a lot of different things, and my favorite one brought back a lot of good memories from my youth.

    I am meeting a lot of new people and when we get together, I always see them and talk with them. It's always a different group whenever I go. They have something almost daily, so it's a matter of choosing what events or adventures I wanna go on. It's been a great experience and there have been wonderful adventures.

    My son told me about Events and Adventures. I’m a very active person and I love trying new things and exploring new adventures and events. That sparked my interest the most and being that I’m single didn’t hurt either. I was really comfortable as soon as I showed up and started meeting people. It was easy to fit in, and it felt like everyone else has gone there for the same reason. I’ve done bowling, volleyball, rock climbing, mini golf, hikes, and going to a bar and mingle. I have an event tonight and on Saturday. Also, I’m doing the Memorial Day camping trip.

    Everything has been going good. I’ve definitely made a lot of friends. I like that Events and Adventures took the events out on the 15th of every month. They have good notice or advance to plan your upcoming month and figure out where you’re going to be. I really like that feature. One nice thing that Events and Adventures could do is to make a mobile friendly app. Going to their website on the cell phone isn’t the most convenient thing in the world. Other than this, the experience has been very satisfying. It’s nice to be able to go out, meet new people and have a fun time.

    I joined Events and Adventures for the activities as a good way to meet people. During the events, I was able to talk to a lot of nice people. I was excited before arriving at my first event. It was a Halloween party. It was great and it's my favorite. I plan on attending a sushi making class and going to the Oakland A's baseball game. But, the last event was a total bust. It was a charity ball for singles and it was here in San Francisco. It was billed as it was gonna be in a ballroom and very formal. But it was the worst venue. It was this dark conference room in a hotel. Just a squared boring room and it was almost pitch-black in there. People dressed like all kinds of stuff. There were jeans, the guys were not dressed formally and it was not a ballroom at all. Also the band and sound system were horrible. It was just like this pounding DJ, purple flashing lights. It was so tacky.

    If I look at the pictures of the event, it looked like it was in this beautiful formal ballroom. It was just trash and very disappointing. I don’t think it was an Events & Adventures primary. They weren't the primary host of this event, it was like the single club. I wouldn't recommend Events and Adventures for people my age, it's much better for people in their 20s, 30s, 40s. But I'm still single and feels like a young person. It's okay for someone my age but not the greatest one and that’s more my fault than theirs. With my age, I'm professional, with lots of work and family responsibilities. I can't do as much. I don’t have as much free time or energy.

On Saturday, I'm joining the coast hiking then bonfire and picnicking after that at the Golden Bay.

    I grew up in Dallas but I just moved back to the area so joining Events & Adventures was a good way to meet people and do stuff instead of doing different things. Also, the fact that they interviewed people and weeded them out got me interested with the club. I was nervous when I arrived at my first event because all the people were new to me. I've only done four activities. We did a fencing class and that was cool. Additionally, I did the Game Night, the brewery and the new member thing. I've got three upcoming events.

    However, I'm not too keen on the fact that they won't let you cancel. They told us that upfront, but I thought there was going to be a lot of fun stuff to do. I live in the Mid-Cities and a lot of the stuff that they do is up in Far North Dallas. It's hard for me during the week or even on the weekends to get that far. Traffic is horrendous and it's going to be difficult for me to get to where they're having their events by 5:00 or 6:00. Then I'd have to drive all the way home, which is more than an hour from where I live. It's inconvenient.

    They don’t seem to be doing a whole lot of activities closer to where I live. I've asked for a couple of things but nobody has ever responded to me. They’ve got a few things going on in Fort Worth but not as much. But every night a week, they have something going on in North Dallas. I'm very dissatisfied because of the amount that they charge and there's not a whole lot of stuff.

    I went to a cultural dinner for my first event with Events and Adventures. They contacted me beforehand and let me know where to meet and that somebody would be waiting to check me in. And when I arrived, there was somebody there and he knew exactly where to put us. I felt comfortable. I also did the whirlyball a couple months ago. It was a lot of fun and that was my favorite. There were about 60 people playing and I chatted with other people at the same time. It was a good mix.

    My least favorite was the comedy club. I didn’t receive an email beforehand or a text, so I didn’t know where to meet. So I walked in and it was one where there were people from outside of E&A as well. I felt uncomfortable because I didn’t know who was part of E&A, and it wasn’t really my scene. And so I walked around and I was about to leave, but there were some people there that I had met at the previous event so I hung out with them for a little while. And then there were Syria jokes and 9/11 jokes, so I ended up leaving after about an hour.

    I gave the Chicago E&A feedback about this and they called me and discussed this. One suggestion I have is if they can reduce membership fees or make more events free, I think it would definitely be very valuable for their customers. Because we pay so much to be a part of the club and then we still have to pay for almost every single event as well. And then the cooler events of course cost more.

    I'm new to San Francisco, so I don't have any friends. I'm also single and hoping to meet somebody to date. A friend told me about Events & Adventures. So far I've been to four or five events, and my favorite is the ski weekend. I also did the hand gliding. I didn't know my ACL was torn at that point. Fortunately, I was okay but I've had to cancel a bunch of events. One other thing that I am upset about is that this was sold to me like I was going to be meeting lots of people who were professionals, but that has not been the case at all. After my second or third event, I realized this was just something to go do an activity. The people who were there were completely not in my league. I met some really crazy, weird people in the group and also a couple of nice women as friends. No men at all.

    I also think that I ended up paying a lot more than other people did. I didn't know that this was some kind of a haggling negotiation for the price system. So I've gotten upset talking to other members and finding out that I paid a lot more money for the same thing. I understand that I can't cancel and get out of it. I just look at it as something to get to do things that I would never take the time to organize and do on my own.

    I had signed up for this almost 3 years ago. I went to one event and hated it! I had never used it thereafter and I never plan on ever using it. Since I went past the 3 days allowed to cancel, I could not cancel the contract. Per some incredibly rude guy with the accounting department, he said that I have to pay at least half of the contract price in order to release me from paying all of it. Since funds were tight, I could not afford to do so.

    Now, that I have paid over 80% of the contract price ($745 left), I am told by a different person, Wendy, that I must pay $500 now and she will terminate that contract. What happened to what the other guy said? Her reply was "he no longer works here and he lied when he said that". Her attitude was beyond rude. She literally hung up the phone on me after she said "take it or leave it". That is how Events and Adventures treat their customers. The few times I have called their customer service trying to cancel this, I have encountered only RUDE people unwilling to help. I gave them over $3,500 for a service I never used and never will use. But their greed wants additional money from a customer who they know had never used their service. I am disgusted with them!

    Events and Adventures sounded like I would get the opportunity to try new things I’ve never done before and don’t do with my friends. During my first event, I was nervous and not sure if the leaders (they have photos so I know who I'm looking for) were going to be where they're supposed to be and if I was late or early. Now I try to average at least four events a month. My least favorite was going out eating. It's odd carrying on the conversation while I'm stuffing my mouth. The karaoke ones were fun because people seemed to be more relaxed and there were 30 people every time, which is a lot compared to the other events. The bigger the crowd, the more fun it is. Some of the peolpe though were not approachable. I didn't have fun at bowling considering the adults know how to bowl, but I enjoyed it because I've never done it before plus there were many people there.

    I can't do any day stuff because I'm in school. So I have been limited to dinners. Date night is fun except that I need to invest in more recent games since some of the games were so old that not everyone was doing them. There seems to be more younger people than people of my age. I'm in the older bracket. Or maybe they just don't go to the events I go to. Events and Adventures needs to invest and update the equipment. I'm looking forward to what's coming up on the big sports thing. So my activities that I enjoy are coming up on the calendar.

    I like the communications. They email if they had to change the venue. I love the private Facebook page because it's always accurate. At the last minute, I can look there if something has been changed or if something opens up that I thought was full. Photos of the activities were also posted. Sometimes I don’t go to events because I'm not sure, but because of the photos, I'm like "Oh I'll totally sign up for that next time." Their Facebook site is a great idea. Overall, Events and Adventures is fun and exactly what it says. It's an adventure because it's all new to me.

I felt good and excited before I attended the first event but, afterwards, I’m not extremely impressed with the organization. I have already attended six events and my favorite was the Whirlyball. I went to a mix and mingle, a young and professionals dinner, trampoline dodgeball which got cancelled a couple of days prior to the event and a game night as well. I was able to meet and date someone for a month and a half. However, a lot of events felt really unstructured.

    Moreover, their website is atrocious but I know they didn’t build it so I don’t want to be too critical. But it’s terrible and it’s well-known throughout the E&A culture that the website is very hard to navigate and to figure out. The dates and times are horrid. We pay a lot of money and the experience isn’t almost worth paying the amount. If I knew what I know now, I would have never joined.

    Events & Adventures caught my interest because of the fact that somebody else was planning stuff for me to do. I was excited when I attended my first event. I joined in July and tried to go to about three or four events a month and I've been going for eight months now. My most favorite event was a poker night at a local restaurant and it's a free to play. Then on Sunday, I'm going to brunch. I'm possibly going to a social on Tuesday, trivia on Thursday, potentially top golf next week on Monday, and the beauty night next week on Tuesday or the 28th and 29th.

    I've made lots of friends from attending their events, but I haven't found a significant other yet, which is fine since that's not why I joined. If it happens, it happens. Events & Adventures is a fabulous way to find out what's going on within the community that you wouldn't normally have heard about. Also, find things to go and do that I don't think I ever would have found on my own without somebody else telling me about it. I love the variety.

    I'm interested in going out and trying new things without having the pressure of trying to find somebody to be in a relationship with. And when I first joined Events and Adventures, I was really nervous. But everybody has been really nice and they brought me in right away. I attended five events within the whole month that I have been in the club, and my favorite event was the laser tag. I was kicking everybody’s butt, although the boys weren’t too happy about that. I have also gone to a lawn bowling event, pub Olympics, karaoke, and a new member's thing where we just talk about the club.

    I made some new friends through those events and I was also invited to a small group who have a potluck about once a month. But it’s hard because the group is in Minneapolis and I live an hour and a half from there. I met great people whom I had a lot of fun with. It was nice getting out, meeting new people, and being able to do things that I don’t normally do, like getting in front of people and singing in the karaoke. I would definitely recommend it to anyone, even though it's not my thing anymore because it's a group for singles, and I met someone and we’re talking about getting married.

    The first time I went to an event of Events and Adventures I was a little uncomfortable, I stepped into something I didn’t know. But it went out pretty smooth. I gradually went on with it and it’s pleasant to talk to people. I've attended 12 events and among those the hang gliding was interesting. I also liked the shooting, which was good and fun. The bike ride that is canceled because of the rain then there’s one horseback riding that I’m going to. I also see people, we talk and text a couple of times. They're like an at-the-event type of friend; it’s when you see them you'd go, “Hey” or “Hi” “How’s it going?” and things like that as they were not deep into my private life. Overall I would say I’m satisfied, I like the different outdoor events that they plan.

    I first heard about Events and Adventures on a radio ad and it sounded like something different that I was interested in trying. I was pretty nervous before arriving to their first event but it changed after I arrived. My first event was a Mediterranean eats and we went to a restaurant in Greenville. And just about every week, I’ve gone to at least two or three events. We've done a day hike which was my favorite, and then karaoke at Fresco Bar, Publympics at the Fox & Hound and for the most part, the events that I really like to do are the ones that involve a lot of physical activity. Like the indoor rock climbing that we did in Grapevine was a lot of fun. I'm also open to everything and it's getting more cool now that I'm meeting more people and it feels like a little community. And even if it’s not an activity that I would normally be interested in, if I know I’m with cool people then it’s going to be a good time regardless.

    I have attended around six or seven trips with Events & Adventures and I met a couple of friends during those trips. My favorite one amongst them is the paintball. A couple of days ago, I went to a hamster ball soccer, wherein I was inside these rubber balls. In the next couple of weeks, I’m also going to Ireland through them. I initially thought signing up with them was going to mean more adventurous and outdoor activities. I sent a feedback via email and then somebody got back to me and said that when the weather warms up a little bit more, there are going to be more of what I was thinking that would be happening. However, I’m dissatisfied with the price of the membership and the monthly dues. I think that I could’ve scheduled some of the stuff on my own. It seems like I end up paying for the activities that I like to do.

It was at Malone’s Bar downtown. They put us in the back and the music was playing loud there so it was hard to hear everything. I've attended quite a few events like salsa dancing, mostly at clubs, volleyball every Wednesday. I also went on the ski trip back in November. I didn’t go with the club but we met with the Seattle people and that was cool. Rock climbing was my favorite, I’m a pretty active guy so I liked all the sporty events.

    Events & Adventures is a fun way to meet new people and try activities that I would never have done on my own. It's almost like having my personal planner. A bunch of it is a known group of people that I feel safe doing crazy things with. I know that they're all single and I don't have to feel awkward about going into something and not knowing where people are. I felt a little cautious and nervous about what I was getting myself into before coming to my first event because the salesperson that I talked to initially made me feel like it was a scam and I certainly did not appreciate her hard sell. Except for this salesperson experience, however, the club itself is worth it and actually much better than what I thought it would be.

    I've attended from six to eight events and trips - a coffee social, a stair hike, a fun run, a food bank, a new member meeting, and happy hour at a bar. I signed up for dancing this weekend, so I'm looking forward to it and hope that's going to be my favorite activity. I've met good acquaintances in the events and adventures.

I joined Events and Adventures because of the opportunity to be able to do something social every night of the week with multiple events, depending on what was going on with me, and then the chance to get out and meet people. At first I was feeling nervous and unsure because I haven't done anything like this. But I'm way more comfortable now after being a member for a year and a half. The host was very good, and I'm friends with the host now as well.

    I've tried doing events but I haven't done any trips yet. The volleyball that we do every Wednesday night out here in Dallas is definitely my favorite. I like any activities that's athletic. We did fencing, a Wallyball event, the Laser Tag which we did a couple of weeks ago, and the Digital Scavenger Hunt last month. Games night is also a good one I go to, and I did some Happy Hours last week. I try to do about six or seven events a month. If I go to two events in a week, it's a good week. But I try and get to at least one event a week.

    I've met a bunch of friends definitely, especially in this area. I even go out or we stay in contact outside of events and make sure to see how people are doing. I've made about 12 to 20 very close friends right now and plenty of acquaintances along the way. It's definitely been a good experience. It's adventurous and social, and puts me out of my comfort zone. It's like a personal growth.

Went to several events and all the events I went to the age of the members were much younger than me and all knew each other and I was not able to communicate with anyone. They were all in their 30's mostly and no one in my 57 year old range. They were very group and didn't seem to want to talk to me or even dance with me. I can't blame them. I have children that age. I was told there would be people in my age group. I asked some of the younger guys what they had paid and they all responded $500-$700 dollar membership fee. I paid $1995.00. The lady that interviewed me asked how much money I had in my banking account and I thought that was odd. I think you may be getting charged by what you can afford and not a fair and equal rate. Too many males vs females. What I was told about E&A has not been true. I want a refund on my money for my membership. What I was told is not true. Thank you!

A lot of other places just have a party at a certain place on certain dates. Events & Adventures do a variety of events and there are events every night, there's a host, and all the information are on the site.

    On my first event, I was put immediately at ease - the host was really nice and people talked to me. I've probably been to close to a hundred events, if not more, in my year of being with the group. The skydiving was the best! They also do a lot of dancing events like ballroom dancing and Latin dancing, and I've gone to a lot of workout events. I've gone as well to Laser Tag and Archery Tag. They're going to a club called Drop this Saturday which I'm probably gonna go to right after the Laser Tag event.

    I've made a ton of friends, even one who works in the same building as me. He comes up everyday after work, and we hang out and talk about an hour while I'm doing my stuff. We also carpool a lot. I appreciate so much the friendship that I get to experience when I go to the events. The group got me to be so much more social, adventurous, and willing to try new things, even those activities that aren't with the group or those which I do not have the confidence to do. I have a huge network of friends and get invited to way more stuff than I can actually go to. There's so many days where I go, "Okay, I have four things tonight and I have to pick one."

    One thing I really appreciate is our event coordinator. He always asks us for input on what events we like to see and he always takes it into consideration. A lot of times I'll find an event I suggested up on the calendar. I also just appreciate how well it's run that I never have to worry about showing up but then the event was canceled and no one told me. Events a& Adventures is professionally run and they always seem to listen to feedback, which makes me feel like I have a say in the group. It's life-changing and I definitely recommend it.

    I joined E&A because I'm a middle-aged man tired of the same bar routine, and was looking for someone that was interested in the same. When I joined, I found the majority of the events were catered around drinking, and were poorly organized. Often events were changed or cancelled at the last minute, only attended by the same 10-15 people, and ran by people only interested in getting to the bar to get drunk. I joined to meet someone and explore what my city has to offer, not party.

    More disappointing is that often times I was paying as much as 3 times more for my monthly fee based on my income with the same benefits as someone paying a fraction of the cost. I was told my monthly fee would cover most events, but in fact nearly every event still cost an additional fee when you signed up. I tried to cancel after being dissatisfied but was met with poor customer service. I just expected a more professional company for what I was paying.
