I occasionally attend a mixer event called "MNDR TNDR" (minder tinder) with my best friend. The name translates to "Less Tinder" in Dutch.
Only singles are allowed and they try to keep the ratio roughly 50/50, and upon entry you receive a heart pin and sexuality pin. If you find someone and wish to make clear that you've found your partner for the night and others should stay away, you put your heart pins on eachother so everyone can see you're no longer available.
In order to avoid unnecessary confusion, you have to wear the sexuality pin (straight, lesbian, bi) at all times. Trans people must also wear a trans pin.
It's usually a pretty good time and in my experience, the women are proactive and approach on their own rather than waiting for a guy to approach them.
Pretty wide variety of women. For some reason I either get approached by older women in their 40s or crazy-eyed university students who probably have BPD or something. No inbetween.
I'd highly recommend mixers like that. It can be a bit awkward if you bring a female friend, you'll constantly see dudes acting jealous, repeated questions about whether you're her boyfriend etc, ...
Those aspects can get a bit annoying but the benefits of having a wingwoman can come in very handy, more so than a wingman imo.

The worst part at least on the app I was on....they can see who visits their page! I had an ex school mate reach out to me and I noticed she had pics of her man. Homie kinda looked like me so I was buggin' off that first, lol. Read her profile and noticed her status was in a "open relationship". I kept it super short, wished her well and never called her

basically, some are setup rotation style like literal speed dating, some are casual/informal where people just self organize the ting, other are brunch/happy hour style each comes with their own pros & cons…some of the folks that organize these have much consternation about getting men to show up, even trying to cater to what they think would appeal to men
i don’t think most men are necessarily excited about the prospect of events where approaching women is not just the expectation but the whole point, so even with other bells & whistles to bring in men they ultimately fail on the merit, also consider the demographics of who is likely to even attend such events, one that comes to mind is the former radio personality kendra g, who parlayed a youtube dating show into an app & event dating platform for singles, there are others too tho where the ratio of women to men is often well upwards of 5:1; you find videos of folk talking about their experiences
it’s almost an exact flip of the apps/online dating

It wasn't organic like most trends these days.
Pure marketing by Nike by putting athletes and influencers in them to push on social media

Couldn't be me.
Dudes really out here letting women toy with them. Mind you these are the same women afraid to step out of the house without makeup on.

i think that could be part of the reason(s) as well that man don’t attend these, to not subject themselves to potential waste(s) of time. now some man just love the ‘sport,’ these men also probably wouldn’t be that compelled to pull up on such an event…in fact it’s probably detrimental because it can put man on front street
the fact that women tend to be more insecure & neurotic doesn’t make women any less choosy/more open…further it is not new phenomenon and even more pointed most men (and women for that matter) aren’t all that great conversationalists, but that doesn’t change the perception that most men & women alike have for men to ‘be interesting’ & qualify to these insecure women

I’m so confused by what’s being discussed. I’m not single but if i was i’d definitely be going to these sort of dating or mixer events. They’re so much better than apps for mediocre normal not 6’3+ men. You at least have a chance to vibe with someone and see where it goes. And there is that expectation of conversation. It’s a warm lead.

Anyone else slightly rolling their eyes at Pedro Pascal with all his social issue advocating? I mean obviously nothing wrong with that but it seems hes into everything (and it comes off kinda fake)? Like bro we get it youre a good guy.
