Dinnerworks?

[Eli]

Anyone familiar with Dinnerworks? What's the cost to success ratio?

Familar.....

....did it.

Worth the time / effort if you do not pay. If nothing else, it dinner and good conversation with people who (usually) are professionals, intelligent, whatever.

If you pay, not worth it IMHO.

Thing to remember is this...once you hit 40, there are FAR MORE single women in your age bracket than single men...with EVERY single hook up methodology (save for online ads), women out number men.

As a result, as a single guy you should NEVER pay to meet women. Never.

Both Dinnerworks and Single In The City call me about once every 4 to 6 weeks asking me to attend events for free because they don't have enough men...

(Of course, it helps if they have met you already and know you aren't a total loser, but instead something approaching the type of guy their single paying female clients are looking to meet).

Fill out the Dinnerworks form online, and when it asks to pay, don't...but indicate your interest in learning more. Someone will call. Tell them you are really interested, but...man...it seems like a lot of money. They will invite you to the next event that they need a guy for on the house (the invite will be last minute...you will only get a few hours notice...that is the deal...they need you to fill in for someone who has canceled). Go...dress nice...be nice...charm all the ladies...impress the host. If you hook up, great. If you don't but make a good impression...you'll be asked back...trust me.

Of course, if you are an ugly fat nerdy loser....women can meet those types on their own without having to pay....so no more invites for you.

Hmm...That sounds tempting. But I'm mid-late 30's, in great shape and not really interested in women older than I am with perhaps a few rare exceptions.

So...

...why would you care? You are such a catch already I am sure you have women beating down your door all the time....

Seriously....if what you are saying is true (and again, if it is why are we even having this exchange?) then you are what the women are paying to meet....so you will get free invites. However...if what you are saying is true, then you probably think the women should all strippers and escorts. They won't be. They will be women....just like your sister, your neighbor, etc. Some above average looking, some below average...most average.

I found them to be interesting for the most part because they were professionals...the folks at Dinnerworks screen for the type of people they want as "clients". From a physical attractiveness standpoint, I'd say half of those i met were date material for me...and half were not. But I do not consider myself God's gift to women, nor do I expect a woman to be God's gift to men...so my standards might be lower than yours...

You seem to have a beef with someone, and it aint me. Certainly making a lot of assumptions there. What I am interested in is an attractive and interesting woman my age or younger, I don't think that's unreasonable. I am open to meeting older woman but I don't go out and look for that.

I guess I did assume...

...anyone who describes themselves as being in "great shape" as being fairly vain and focused on the physical. If you aren't, my bad.

You can assume the sort of women who participate in Dinnerworks are going to be the sort who can afford it, and who are willing to pay for help meeting men. I am certain you COULD find some in the sweet spot you are looking for in regards to age, etc....but REALITY is that women (typically) don't have problems is this areas until they hit their mid 30's....and everyone else is "married".

Go with Godspeed...you have the info you need...
