My Social Calendar Reviews

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.

I joined My Social Calendar in February 2021, ready to get out of the house after a year of quarantine. I have participated in over 20 event and met loads of fun people. I often chose the hikes and outdoor dinners, and have attended a few wonderful events like horseback riding and a cruise on the Potomac. I love that I don't have to plan the events or get people to show up. It's only a matter of how much activity I want to pack into my schedule. Each event has a welcoming group atmosphere and there is no awkward dating vibe. I have connected with a few groups of friends that get together beyond the events MSC organizes. I have found a group of adventurous people to get out and explore the DC area with.

I joined My Social Calendar during the pandemic, in October, when MSC was hosting both virtual events on Zoom, and also outdoor activities like hiking. At that time I had tried online dating and was ready for something real. Real people, real friendships, real activities, without the awkwardness of who pays for what when. I had learned on my own to gauge the energy I feel when I'm around people, and when I met 'my man' at an MSC hike and then connected again at a holiday market event that MSC was hosting, I felt entirely good vibes coming from him. This is something that online dating can't give you. A low key group interaction.

My Social Calendar is a paid subscription to a social network that allows other single adults to go out into the community to mingle. It's a mixed bag of ages ranging mostly from late 20's - 70's+ and you never know who is going to show up. The activities can be simple, laid back dinners to more adventurous aerial obstacle courses and white water rafting or sport activities. The downside is you have to pay for the service on top of each individual event, which can add up being quite costly throughout the month.

My Social Calendar is a great social group where you get to meet new people and engage in new experiences together. All the members are singles so you may have an opportunity to meet someone or simply make new friends. Meeting new people in this setting takes the pressure off that you would normally feel when going on a date for the first time. It is a more natural way of meeting people than using a dating app. Also what is nice is there are members of all age ranges and you will see different members at different events. It's not always the same people. Coordinator Vanessa K is wonderful and she is always sending us to new and exciting places. The most important thing is remember is not to judge your experience in this group by just one or two events. Keep going to events because you never know who you will meet and when. You make the most of your membership by attending as many events as possible and even by hosting a few yourself.

I was a member of 'MSC' - for anyone considering joining, this is nowhere near what they make it sound like... They will want you to commit to a 6-month or 1-year membership contract (non-cancellable/refundable). They will say that you will 'probably meet someone' within 6 months or so to convince you to sign, implying a high rate of successful matches. But the events I experienced were disorganized and had poor member turnout. Often new members would come to one or two events and never come back... but I did not see any successful matches being made and did not experience this myself through MSC.

Complete waste of time and money. You pay a lot for the membership AND then pay for every activity. The activities were 2-3x the cost of doing it outside of this group. Most activities revolved around drinking alcohol or engaging in extreme sports. Although when I signed up, I was assured there were ppl my age (50s) there were 3 my age--2 women who lived 40+ miles away, and an ultra conservative man who didn't like women who worked or had opinions (his words). I would have been satisfied to make ONE friend. Didn't happen.

The woman I spoke to was incredibly rude, very judgmental. They require you to pay up top and if you aren’t comfortable, the woman I spoke to shamed me for not being comfortable with the price. Started off nice but the more we talked the more mean she got, basically judging single people who don’t want to pay a ridiculous amount of money on the off chance that it’ll work out for them.

I joined in 2019 after hearing advertisements on the radio that sounded appealing. I went to a couple of events that summer but there were no guys my age like I thought there would be. I went on a whale watching/dinner/kayaking event in Cape May that had about 20-25 people attending but still no interesting guys. The activities were ok but the host Betsy (or Becky?) seemed depressed and uninterested in people - when we went on the kayak portion of the day we actually ended up leaving another new member behind on the pier because he'd gone to the restroom and our guides had to go back for him. Our host made her way around asking people not to 'rat her out' - I later found out that she was not a company host, but another member acting as host and that this was common for events. I expected a much more professional operation based on their ads and a better selection of guys to socialize with like they make it look. Disappointment.

Once they have your money they don't care about you or the events - MSC staff does not attend or run events and the monthly calendar they post is mostly recycled events from last month or year often with the wrong dates and details as if their secretary just copied and pasted it from the last time. One time the venue we were supposed to go to wasn't even open for business any more! Events are often duds due to lack of social leadership, cancelled due to lack of attendance, or screwed up due to lack of competence making reservations. Don't waste your money.

They come off as nice people. Once you sign up and leave your credit card there are waivers and disclosures to sign just to officially sign up. You legit need an attorney just to give this a try. And when you don’t agree and try and cancel. Wow. Been months and still dealing with the issue. Hard pass on this anyone who reads my review. I assure you I had good intentions signing up, but hope this place shuts down. Like yesterday preferably so no one else has to deal with this.

I joined My Social Calendar about a month ago. The rep who signed me up made it sounds so amazing. I have now went to 5 activities and she was so right. I absolutely love my new social life. I never write reviews but this program has changed my outlook on the dating world and given me so much hope. I am new to the area and literally only knew 2 people from work before I joined. I now how people I can actually call friends and am getting out and really enjoying my life. I would definitely recommend this service to anyone single and tired of the internet garbage.

My experience with MSC was nothing but a disappointment. Their sales rep had told me there were many "young professionals" on Long Island using their service. Hopeful, I had tried it out. The first event I went to was only people over 40, and the second event I had wanted to go to I had found out it would be essentially the same crew of people. Now as a young professional in my mid-twenties if I wanted to meet people over the age of 40 I would hang out with my parents more. I filed a complaint to the company who told me I couldn't terminate my plan until my 6 month contract was up. That's crazy though - they promised a service of meeting young professionals to me in my area and couldn't deliver on that. What type of company is that?

My Experience... I heard the ad and it sounded just like me. I am 40 years old divorced and hate online dating. I like most, read reviews some really good some not so good. I decided there was enough good to dive in. I joined in October and to my surprise actually really enjoy it. There are 20 events per month usually Tuesday or Wednesday evening, every Friday night, Saturday and Sunday and sometimes two on Saturday. The events are fun and well organized, and I have made tons of friends and even dated. I like meeting people face to face it works better for me.

Well, my MSC experience is very sad since I signed up for this website because the announcement I heard on the radio I thought I could go out and share with safe people, and which it was already perfect. I have several years with My Social Calendar, but now with the new event coordinator New York even I can't never talk. I could talk, this person who is now does not even answer the text and when she does it is two or three weeks later.

I will admit, I had a healthy skepticism. While I am aware that MSC is not a dating site I was beginning to wonder if my social skills were fading. After being married for 24 years I was not prepared for how challenging it is to meet people. People have their guard up online and in public. I was getting tired of the pursuit. After a number of unfruitful online dating site attempts not to mention wasted investments I was considering a sabbatical from dating/socializing.

I was told about this site after a string of bad dates during an already stressful time. Did the phone interview where I was pressured into signing up right then and there so that I could get a discount rate for 6 months (60 something dollars) You might find it strange that I don't know how much the discounted rate was right? That's cause I never got it, I've been charged $75 every month. I decided it's not worth it trying to fight them on this; we'll get back to this later.

I am sorrowfully disappointed in My Social Calendar (MSC). I am a traveller who has been a part time resident in the US for the past year. MSC seemed to be the answer to my situation in meeting new people. I immediately signed up for the promises upon a phone call from a very persuasive and understanding (married) MSC sales person. At that time I was not able to sign up for any events until I gave over my credit card information in which I so eagerly did hearing the advertisement on the radio and reading online. Who doesn’t want more friends? Especially when trying to establish yourself in a place that is not your home. When payment was received from my account, none of the events were available. So I persevered in hope that the next month would be different. Disappointing.

I joined this social networking site last Thursday and after 3 events already feel that I have already gotten my monies' worth. The level of professional people I have met and the fun we have had so far is very inspiring. There is no pressure to join events, you come and go at your leisure, and there is a variety of things to chose from. I highly recommend this service/site to anyone who is looking to enhance, or like me, jump-start their social calendar. You will not be disappointed!

I read a couple of reviews that are similar to what I am about to write. I was going through a bad time, heard of “MSC” joined for the 6 months $600...realized it wasn’t for me and a waste of money. I have been trying to contact someone yet CAN’T get in touch with one person!!! I have left emails, searched for event coordinators left them voicemails (nobody picks up!!) This is ridiculous and a waste of money if you don’t go to an event!! It’s been 6 months and I can’t seem to delete my membership, they definitely do not put their clients first and are all for your money!!!

Who knew there was a Club like My Social Calendar? I certainly didn’t until a friend of mine told me about it. It was great that I got to speak to an Event Coordinator who answered all my questions about the group, before deciding if it was a good fit me. Well it was a great fit for me! I have made some really quality friends and been able to get out of the rut I was in after my divorce. Of course not having to plan and organize any of the events with other singles like me was a HUGE Bonus!

I experienced the rudest display of customer "service" no one should have to experience. I was in a place of transition from a divorce and was interested in getting out there again. I made an appointment with my social calendar and the saleswoman, whose name I can't recall, explained the program with the speed of a rapid disclaimer at the end of an infomercial. She also said if her husband ever left her it would be the first thing she would do ---- which I found a bit odd.

The experience with My Social Calendar, was something that I would not recommend. There were charges I was told by the Caller Rhonda that were supposed to be one time that became continual. I was supposed to be charged a membership fee that I was told only one time and a monthly fee. I ended up getting both charges and I called to get this corrected. The customer service was not understanding and I was not treated as a valued customer. I don't like being mislead, and the customer service team seemed to not care. I was locked in and the contract was something that made me feel like a number. I felt so awful at how I was not valued that I had to leave. I mean being locked in a contract is not enjoyable, it was not customer first.
