Well I'll be fucked if I ever

April 07 2014

hold another event... Last weekend we held an event, bi people to catch up in a nice discreet house slightly down south. I ran an ad in events here and on Fetlife. Using Durty_Angel and Durtydash I sent 50+ pms out to people who fit the the demographic. fro the messages I got 5 replies,,, pretty bloody sad... But that was nothing we had 12 people say that they were going to attend 10 from right here on RHP... so we we bought some prawns and a huge cheese platter... and guess what 0% turned up,,, yes a 100 percent fail... Ok here it is the next day, guess how many messages of regret we have received,,,, yeah you got it 0%..... now I was expecting no shows but bloody 100%.... i felt a lot of emotions yesterday but I have definitely learnt a big lesson,, I will never hold another event, I will never take anyone on RPH on their word... Ah well the people that turned up, through other means, had a great afternoon.. to all the rest BLAH Durty

    Durty, We whole heartily sympathise with you and understand where your coming from. We returned to Perth recently and like you used to message people we thought were comparable, only to receive no replies or replies that simply asked for access to wilder photos !! Even had people send us a flirt then when we would message them, we still got no replies. We were so over the BS or fake profiles and timewasters we didn't renew our membership, not a fault of RHP in any shape or form but members who sign up with no intention of having fun and making it frustrating for those who genuinely want to, hence joining an " adult " site. If someone sends a message it's not hard to reply even if it's a thanks but no thanks. Manners cost nothing. Lee and jock

    Hey Durty, I think some organisers email people a mobile phone number and ask them to ring for a chat prior to sending them all the party details. I would expect that people who will actually call you, will most likely turn up and of course they can also get a sense of who you are as well. So a good way of weeding out all the timewasters and getting a realistic feel of how many people will show up so you can plan better. The first drinks night I arranged, which was only a social night not a play night, I had close to 100 people register their interest. About 25 people showed up. You get the same people registering to all the events but never showing up so a good rule of thumb is to expect 25 - 50% attendance rates.

    thanx for your response Bewtyfl and Meeks. well as I have said I wouldn't bother again, Meeks the phone number is a good idea and wish I had known about it before hand. Had people messaging me all up for it and then not turn up. Manners seem to be in very short supply in all aspects of life now, worlds gone to hellfire LOL But cheers to you both making the effort and I still have a an internet crush on you Meeks LOL Durty xx

    Rockercouple's rules for parties... 1. Verified, validated or known people only 2. If No1 doesnt apply, they must be recommended by a known person 3. Must reply PRIOR to the day with their phone number 4. Details for event sent by text, with the address only given to people who actually reply. 5. Start time is strict, with a one hour window. Late arrivees are told not to bother 6. If you are a couple, you attend as a couple. 7. No "single guy brings single chick", to make up a couple 8. No single guys :D

    It really makes me wonder why these people even bother to register their interest. I wish I would have been on RHP at that time. If I would have registered my interest and if would have been picked I surely would have shown up. Since I became a member here I did that for two private events. One was the weekend before last weekend but I couldn't attend as something came up and I let them know as soon as possible which was 5 days before the event to give them time to find someone else as single males were restricted. The next is this coming weekend and so far I can and will go to have a good time. What a shame, durty. I bet it would have been a lot of fun to meet you guys. You've got a few good tips if you ever plan another one and if I fit your requirements for the males you're looking for and if I have the time I wouldn't let you down. Whity *shaking his head about so much rudeness*
