Top Reasons to Attend a CitySwoon Event – What Sets Us Apart From the Rest
By Ben | April 6th, 2023
With everyone in town again, now is a good time to take a break from the dating apps and head to a real life event to make some connections. People will feel refreshed from summer travel and will certainly have trip highlights and new stories to share.
Before you head out, visit our blog for some dating etiquette tips.
Now you may be thinking which event(s) should I attend? There will certainly be a lot going on this autumn and we are here for it. I definitely recommend you come down to a CitySwoon Speed Dating 2.0 event – it’s a fresh and original take on singles mixers.
Here are our top reasons to attend:
To meet like-minded singles in real life.
At CitySwoon events, attendees are single and looking to meet other genuine people from their city. Too often, people just swipe on dating apps and message back and forth endlessly to end up never meeting. For in-person events, attendees make the effort to travel to and spend the evening at a venue. It’s nice to be able to chat with someone in person to get to know their vibe and personality. Once there, participants can’t hide behind an old photo or spend all night taking selfies or group photos.
Our unique, patented algorithm does the matching.
Say goodbye to “musical chairs” and let the CitySwoon algorithm match you with the singles that fit you best in the room. When you create a profile, you will be matched with singles based on criteria in your account such as education, age, religious & political views, height, horoscope and more. No need for ratings cards or name tags as you can see and rate your dates on our web app live at the event.
A relaxed and welcoming setting.
When you arrive you are greeted by a CitySwoon host who can assist you with self check-in. They are also there to help the event run seamlessly. Since we use an algorithm to do the matching, we do not have assigned seating. Participants can sit (or stand) where they they are most comfortable. We also don’t use a microphone or bell which can just make things awkward.
10-12 Minute Date Rounds.
At a traditional speed dating event, rounds last for 2-5 minutes. This is barely enough to say “hello”, let alone to have a full conversation. CitySwoon attendees are social and actually want to make real connections. Our longer, more meaningful mini-dates allow for you to express yourself and potentially create a spark with others. There is nothing like chatting with people face-to-face and this creates a nice energy in the room.
No “wallflowers”.
Since CitySwoon runs structured but relaxed, fun events, attendees are not standing at the side of the room staring at their phones or just chatting with friends they came with. You will be able to chat with singles who are actually looking to meet others for the duration of the evening. Come have some lively conversations and make genuine connections.
An even gender ratio.
Too often when people head to a straight singles event, the ratio is completely unbalanced. It’s frustrating and it can be intimidating to be a room with too many singles of one gender. It’s also not fair to people that made the effort to attend the event. That’s why we work extremely hard to make the ratio as even as possible so attendees can make the most of their evening.
To discover new venues.
We pride ourselves on booking our events at the top venues in your city which makes a memorable night for all. Let us curate some new venues for you to enjoy during the event and perhaps take a future date or friends to. Plus partake in some excellent drinks and eats throughout the evening.
Frequent events, in different neighborhoods and for a variety of age ranges.
Depending on the city, we host 2-5 events per month. This provides an opportunity to meet a diverse group of singles, discover some new venues, and check out different parts of town. If you’re a paid monthly member, you can check out these events at a steep discount.
We can’t wait to see you at an event soon and don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.
