My Social Calendar Reviews

This Service has changed my perspective on online dating. The events feel more real and genuine and I'm able to connect with people on a deeper level than I ever expected. Highly Recommended My Social Calendar!

Terrible. Do not join. Unresponsive customer service, they cancel most events and then don’t even let you know they are canceled, the events are poorly planned, and most of them aren’t even that interesting anyway. It’s not worth $75 a month to me at all.

Finally something better than dating apps! I joined My Social Calendar hoping to meet new people without the awkward pressure of dating apps, and it delivered. The events are fun, well-organized, and I’ve made actual friends. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a real social life again.

I enjoy participating in My Social Calendar because I get to meet new people and discover new places in my city. I also get to do things I may not normally do on my own. It is organized, so all you have to do is sign up for the events and show up. I especially enjoy hiking, Trivia Night, and trying new restaurants for dinner.

The hosts are friendly, organized, and really care about making sure everyone has a good time. They remember your name, introduce you to others, and keep the energy up. Within a month, I met people I now hang out with outside of events. It’s honestly changed my social life in the best way.

Great mix of people and activities. From cooking classes to mixers to unique NYC outings, there’s always something different. I’ve met people from all backgrounds, and the conversations are always easy and fun.

Terrible & very disappointed. I signed up for My Social Calendar in Mid April. I had a few basic questions I wanted to ask in regards to using the service, and I politely requested a call back and still to this date after numerous requests for a call, still have not heard from anyone. They charged my credit card much earlier than agreed and when I tried to contact someone about this...I got a email back saying someone would call me next day,, of course no one ever did call back and have not bothered to even try to assist me. The old adage once someone has your money, you don't exist. That's exactly what it feels like. I would not recommend MSC to anyone, let alone friends and family. Very disappointed!!

I have been a long-time member of the Philadelphia Chapter of My Social Calendar (MSC) and it is a wonderful place to meet new people and share fun experiences. I have met many members of MSC over the years and they have become good friends of mine and I still keep in touch with them. I even attended a friend's wedding! I highly recommend MSC!

An experience that easily changed my life. If you are solid financially, are open socially, and you’re willing to put yourself out there, you will make friends and dates! Remember to ask questions during the inquiry process.

I am part of the NYC club and have attended over ten events. I have met tons of new people and made some friends. I have a date with someone I met at Music Bingo. I'm definitely enjoying this way better than the dating apps I was on. Last night, I went to the Hibachi dinner, and our group took over two Hibachi tables that sat 12!

I’ve had an amazing experience as a member of this group. I joined after moving to DC and have made great connections and relationships! I’d recommend to anyone who is new to the city and wants to meet people!

I wish I can give them zero star. Once they have your credit card number it is impossible to cancel. They continue to charge your credit card because there is no way to cancel on the website. The blue link to cancel does not link to cancellation. Do not fall for their sales talk. This is a waste of money and time.

Great concept! I have met a lot of great friends, and even went on a few dates. I love that they have activities every weekend and even through the week too. Super fun way to meet great friends, and hopefully find my special person.

I saw an ad for them on social media and scheduled a call. When the agent called me the first thing they asked was my last name. When I said I would like to know costs, the program, etc before giving any personal information, I was told that was not possible. The call ended right then and there. I will never give my personal information if I know nothing about the person/company calling me. Be careful.

ADVANTAGES: 1) Meet people on an informal manner, going out to eat or to an activity. The number of members you meet varies from meeting to meeting from 5 to 25. This group I would describe it more like friends going out to eat or play, and then see if you click with someone in the group. I dated members in the past when the click is there. 2) Go to places I did not know existed in the area. I am a DC resident since 1995 and since 2022 have gone to so many great places in the DC area I had no idea existed. 3) With 15-18 activities per month, I choose what I want to do. I go out, live and enjoy my life with this group rather than watching someone in Netflix enjoying theirs.

I received a very pleasant call from someone who portrayed as if they genuinely cared. Very friendly tone. However, after the sales pitch and collecting my card information, the tone changed dramatically and was rushed off the phone. I instantly regretted it and wish I looked at these reviews before participating.

I saw an ad on IG and was curious on what this entailed and what the club offered. I spoke with Emmett, and he used my information against me (age, marital status and history) and when I asked if there were dues, he immediately kept going on if I can't afford, maybe it wasn't right for me without telling me how much until 3rd time I asked. He kept going on about my age, and if I didn't want to sign up, that I could continue doing what I was doing but it obviously wasn't working for me because of my marital history. I told him I didn't appreciate him using my personal info against me and that he doesn't know what I am looking for. His whole sales pitch was very offensive and ludicrous. This is supposed to be a club to make new friends and try new things - I might have given it a try if it wasn't for his horrific demeanor.

This would be a really great concept if it was run by people who actually cared. Unfortunately, the owner (Emmet) wants nothing to do with his paying customers, and the event coordinator (Vanessa) takes every opportunity to avoid doing the work needed to have successful events that satisfy their members. But they seem to be content with sitting back and collecting membership dues month after month from people who realize the mistake they made by signing up and are just waiting for their contract to end. Too bad.

I had recently moved to the area when I saw an ad for MSC on Insta and thought I’d check it out. I scheduled a “screening call” with them, which was really just a sales pitch to get you to sign up, right then, without giving you time to think. If you don’t sign up right then, then you don’t have the option to try later, so, under pressure, thinking “sure, maybe I’ll meet some cool people, I am, after all, a member of several social clubs that I LOVE in my home city”. I signed up. DON'T DO IT.

I was a member over a year and canceled because I was not using the service. The day I canceled, my account was deactivated but I was charged for services, which are billed one month in advance. Essentially I no longer has access to the calendar but was billed. There’s no contact information for help on the website. The DC events Coronado, Lena, refused to provide contact information for anyone in member services and essentially told me that the billing issue was my fault and to deal with it.

They like to tell potential members that you will 'probably meet someone in...' to get you to buy a 6 month or year membership. This allows them to manipulate your emotions to make a binding long-term purchase without actually committing to anything themselves. The truth is, all they are only legally obligated (per their contract) to do is schedule 10 events per month. If you don't meet someone, not their problem. If events get cancelled, not their problem. As long as they put 10 events per month on a calendar - whether they actually run or not, whether you meet someone or not. If you want to cancel your membership, not their problem. As a member, I can't count the number of people I've seen come to one or two events, not make any connection and never return.

These people could care less about their paying members once they have your money. All they really do is copy a calendar from month to month - they don't even attend their own events. They expect the members to run the events themselves and you can't get any response from people in the office. A lot of nothing for all the money they charge.

When I returned to the Philadelphia area after being away for 15 years, I was interested in meeting single people and was especially interested in developing friendships. I have enjoyed a variety of events throughout the region. The events include so many different venues that anyone who joins would find outings of interest to them. I am also happy to say that I have succeeded in building new lasting friendships.

The "screening process" to join MSC I experienced was little more than a pressure sales pitch. After asking me where I came from, why I hadn't had success, et cetera, within 10 minutes the employee on the phone was asking if I was ready to give him my credit card information. When I asked if I could please have more time to think about it, he immediately did a 180 and said he didn't think it would be right for me. Why, I asked? "Just a feeling," he said. This is how salesmen win, by making you feel unworthy. I've never experienced MSC myself, but based on this representation it isn't something I'll try anytime soon.

Vanessa is the event coordinator. She does as little as possible to fulfill her job and deliver a satisfying customer experience. Their literature and membership contract states that they provide hosts for the events - false. They solicit members to host the events themselves. Vanessa hosts perhaps one event a month - and only if it's convenient for her. If her kids have an activity or she has a family event, she will pressure members to host the event in her place, and cancel events if no-one is willing. She has also cancelled events when there is a willing host, but she had personal priorities that kept her from monitoring the office phone for attending members on the day of the event. Some of the poorest customer service I have ever seen.

As a single, professional adult I joined the Calendar, then I promptly quit. The Calendar will ask a prospect a screener question: if one is absolutely male or absolutely female (they do not ask questions about one's ethnicity). I am not 100 percent male or female, have an X for gender ID on my license. I choose to not ID with any gender. This entity refuses to acknowledge diversity in gender outcomes and that people MUST be either male or female at all times. I am offended by these 'you must be this or else' tactics required as a pre-requisite. Wonder if this firm sends its profits from members to sexist conservative, pro-Trump candidates or political action committees.

Let me begin by saying, I don't ever write reviews if an experience is bad, but I could not let this one slide. MSC aka My Social Calendar: The website depicts professionals. I went to an event of 8 people. Bill's Burger Place, West Street, in NYC. The Manager was kind enough to give me the heads up after I voiced my concerns. I was expecting at least a group of 20. Wow seriously, how dare you charge people all this money for an experience that is false. Demographics were way off on so many levels. No disrespect, but... not need to insult folks, not one looked like anyone representative of what appears on the company's website. They have to be paid actors.

Totally non-professional - Pressure sales tactics to sign up, went to a few events and same 6-8 people show up. Events are disorganized and poorly attended. Their staff does not attend the events, and just says "we can't control that". I guess I should've known from the mistakes in their sales brochures. Don't waste your money.

You're basically just paying for access to an events calendar. That's it. They have a hands-off approach when it comes to running the events and expect members to run the events instead of providing a professional/experienced event host. Event reservations are messed up about 50% of the time or events are cancelled last minute - The 'event planner', Vanessa, doesn't seem to be able to plan more than 2 or 3 events in a row without some problem with the reservation, but always has a excuse. The people who attend seem to have a wide disparity of objectives and expectations as some have been sold that they will meet someone to date (or more), while others are just looking for social activities and new friends - and since there is no real host equipped to handle this and properly set expectations, many end up disappointed and frustrated after 1 or 2 events. Unfortunately, once they have you in a contract it's your loss - they will not let you cancel early.
