Just wonder if there is any point in trying to organise a small party in the area for over 50s? Say perhaps 8-10 people ,even split 5 men & 5 ladies in a nice flat in Aberdeen .Open to your views on this folks. |

"You won't know if you don't try I suppose, although I'm not sure how many would attend a party organised by an unverified host.

That is a problem I did not think of, not anyone on here I have met in the past( been on a few times)who could verify me . Hopefully I will get verified before going ahead and getting this off the ground . Thanks |

These things are difficult to organise. We tried organising a small group social with 5-6 couples. Ended up there was just us plus one other couple left due to people pulling out. We had to cancel. If you only know people from the forums it’s difficult to get reliable people. |

I'm sorry to hear that. Were they verified profiles?

Yes they were all verified by one or two meets at least. One left the site. One struggled to get babysitters. One said they’d be up for it but then didn’t respond. Another had other arrangements a few days before the organised date These things happen but shows that it can be difficult to organise get togethers. |

It can be I suppose. Why did you cancel & not go ahead as a 4some?

"Was CJs not planning on doing an over 50s night? Might be worthwhile getting in touch with them. The more people request it, the more likely it is it'll happen x"
Trouble is people having to travel, with no club in Aberdeen now it was just a passing thought |

The problem with this is the problem you have Fab wide. In my opinion it would be mostly over 50s guys going as most Fab fems are looking for younger fit guys as thats what they can achieve on a site like this. Theres no incentive for them to go to an over 50s night other than meeting up with friends. Just my thoughts. |

You're right... Although I'm approaching free bus pass age my preference is for younger guys. Thry are less controlling in my opinion. |

We hadn’t exchanged face pics and had the idea that it was a mini social so people could just turn up and there was a mixture of couples. We cancelled because it was just us and another couple. There was never going to be play on the night and since no face pics were exchanged we didn’t know whether there was mutual attraction. There was also no real chat pre meeting so we thought we’d just reschedule something on a group level but, on reflection, thought it would just be the same as before so never bothered.
We’ll probably just go to a club as it’s easier. |

Any sort of organising can be a nightmare, if you ever try again give us a shout. This is the difference of big socials and smaller more intimate group sizes. Large socials will have quite a few no shows and last minute cancellations but smaller group socials can ruin plans when 2 or 3 drop out. We found single guys were always the worst culprits for it. All talk no action. |

I do know there were a couple of social events on that night. It's a pity you never joined up.

The big socials seem to fill up really quickly. By the time we notice they’re generally full. Msybe trying to organise a small social on the same night limited our options but we didn’t realised we clashed with bigger socials. |
