I've been meaning to post this thread for a while,
When it comes to advertised parties in the Party section What are your foremost criteria in deciding to reply to the advert?
and do you check the hosts profile for legitimacy? e.g established tags, comments confirming they have met people etc?
I see a lot of party adverts from People that have neither and I wonder do these profiles have any success in the parties they advertise?
I know personally speaking I would only be interested in Attending parties advertised by those I Know or members that have been verified, But on the other hand I appreciate we all need to start somewhere. In the case of couples advertising parties I don't think it would be as big an issue, but I reckon a lot of single lads with aspirations to host a party have little success unless they are well known to the people considering to attend.
Any Thoughts on this? Have you certain criteria?
I rarely go to parties, unless i know at least the hosts or a few people attending..
I do look at some of the ads for parties, and think that sometimes those advertising have not really thought the whole idea through, so wouldn't even consider asking for an invite..
Same here Virgo girl...unless I am organising them, I will only go to parties if I know some of the people already confirmed - that means met before at some stage. No way would I attend a party 'blind' so to speak hehe lot of weirdos out there unfortunately. Virgo...u having a party then per chance? :smoke:
im with amber on this also ,i wouldnt go to a party unless i knew the people ,an i do get mails from people ive never even spoken to on here inviting me to partys,bit weird when youve never even said hello to the people .
Personally i don't really know anyone much on here so having to know the person isn't really relevent for me as of yet anyway, i tend to go on instinct to a degree. I think the best way to know if someone is legit is to meet them in a pub / venue and if you don't feel comfortable then you don't have to stay, i never look at whether someone is established or whether they have comments in their profile those are just words on a computer screen and doesn't tell me anything.
Ye i can why people would be very iffy about attending a party or events blind sided. I wouldn't approach anything blindsided.
Very true everyone has to start somewhere when organizing events/parties but there's no harm in starting at the bottom and working your way up instead of starting at the top and working your way down. In other words, building up a trust and good name for yourself.
Only last week I had a guy boast to me about all the parties he has been to and organised over 20 in fact and not one comment,photo nor is he established on his profile!! :bs:
But we also have to understand that people are still being established on this site and have never met one another!!!
