One thing that really upsets me is when a company writes fake reviews...basically misleading people. It is obvious that T46 staff is hard at work writing their own reviews. So I thought I would give you some information
Here is what is available in the bay area
Table for Six - You have everything here. Went out of business a few months ago. back now. but still getting bad reviews. Cost $2000-$4000
Events and Adventures - New in bay. Same hard sales as T46. They are all over the US, but have consistent bad reviews. untested. Unknown events Cost $2000+ and $30+/mo
Urban Diversion - around 7 years, Mostly good reviews, a few bad. openly viewable events calendar online. mix of events, not a dating club though, more adventure/social. Limited in age group accepted. Cost $120 and $30/mo
Outdoor Adventure Club - around 10 years, pure adventure club. High quality professionally guided events, but high cost and few events. no community/not for dating. Not required to 'join', pay per event. Cost $20/mo and events
It's Just Lunch - Mixed reviews. Pure dating club with hard sales. not many 'events'. Cost $1200 for six months.
FACTS:
*Dating clubs are a little bit older (averaging in 40s and 50s) and more expensive, activity clubs are younger averaging in 30's or 40s and less expensive.
*ALL of these organizations have those that love them and those that had a bad experience. Read the bad reviews, be wary of the 5 star reviews.
*You can cancel and contract within 3 days in CA
*If there is a contract you should be able to cancel...Your phone service lets you cancel...with a fee of course.
*If there is no way to try it out be careful... would you buy a car without getting to drive it?
*If you don't get pricing over the phone or when you ask at the meeting... it is very expensive.
*Be careful of "sample events"... They are never accurate. Ask for the actual month's list of events! what you think they don't have it?? They do!
*The more you say "No.. too expensive".. the cheaper it can get.. up to 50% cheaper...but make sure you know what you are negotiating to get first.
Pros: they provide a service
Cons: many... just read reviews
