A few guys who put their names down for almost every event/party. I asked one of them why he did this and never went to anything and his reply was that "It makes me look good, as though Im a player". I suppose some guys might be shy but coming along to a social Meet is a good way of breaking the ice with everyone. It was great to see you again, Fran, and yes it was a lovely arvo. Heres to many more!

Here is a good one, I was scheduled not to work on Sat and do back in the morn. It was days before when I clicked I was going. Then on late Friday arvo they said I might have to stay back for work more days. So I had genuine intentions of going but work plans changed so could not make it. Have to work to pay bills. If I do not click to go then I have no invite in the first place even if I can go if work permits.But folks who know me know that my line of work is unpredictable. Missed you guys and the community tipping.

You were missed yesterday....... We get work commitments......and the other unexpected emergencies etc..... But so many people ( M & F) reply, get details emailed to them, reply with a Thanks - see you there ....... And then just don't bother to show..... And disappoint many more single gals than just Sweet........ Yes, many are shy to come on their own but our PR lady (the lovely MissB) makes sure that you are introduced around the group.......and playing musical chairs (of sorts) is a good way to chat to the bigger crowd. Thanks to all who came along yesterday...was great to see you all having a drink, eat and laugh in the sunshine. And Mr Swing.......the bets weren't tipping on our side yesterday, so the winnings have been left in the Community Chest (under the watchful eye of the lovely T)- for next time........To Be Continued! See you all at the next Ponies meet.... P

I think I've been to basically every meet and greet applicable to me (in Victoria) since I joined, just sayin' :) However, not all events send you details just because you registered an interest. Actually it's generally only meet and greets that will message all or most interested people. Others are essentially just shortlists of "hopefuls" that they may pick and choose from. But yes, from hosting a general meet, I know that lots of people won't attend, or reply, even after sending them an invite. You just have to assume at least a 50% or thereabout unexplained no-show rate. If I knew single guys were sought after over there, I might have seriously flown over... :P

and it's always the 'norm' that only a fraction of people who put their names down will actually show. Some use the events listings as a way of self promotion. Because the listings only show paying members, and so many females aren't, then it often looks like it may be a sausage fest. Then you get those who look from a distance and decide they just aren't interested. You usually allow for about a quarter of those who register to actually show up. This backfired on us once. We had 80 people register for a house event we had and around 100 showed up! we weren't quite ready for that, but survived :) we thought under half could show!

When single guys have approached us to meet somewhere for drinks, 9 times out of 10, they have not shown up. We have had more success with meeting couples. Perhaps the single guys are not so single ? Perhaps they get cold feet? Perhaps they are very different to their photos? Could be a myriad of reasons - Posted from rhpmobile

When it comes to events, probably need to check again, but after registering interest, can you then remove that interest if you can't attend? Supanova clashed and had to go both days, because well, we weren't going to miss Back to the Future Q&A with Biff & the Doc Hope you all had a cosy tasty time though - Posted from rhpmobile

Yes it would be awesome if you could remove your name off of interest click button. Maybe something for the RHP computer gurus to look at. Look at my case in point. Was coming and work decided for me to stay back. Would have been great to unclick. And yes there are heaps of girls who do go to Perth Socialite events that want to meet and greet the male kind. Nothing wrong with female and male interaction. And no it is not a sausage fest. Who knows some girls like a few guys who do show up. if so that is between the girl and the sausage party members. Missed ya Miss B and Precious 12345

If you have registered an interest , take 2 mins and post a comment apologising that you are unable to attend.Dont have to explain your reason.

..Having said that.... here is a bit of a story.. Each year.. the Queen of fckn England holds a VERY special party/function...On an average, more then 1% of those who RSVP they are going... "Do NOT show up"So.. don't take it personally that there are no shows...

I think the best way to let people know your not coming is to reply to the invitation details, if your a guest that is and don't have any emails. Paid members sent just send a quick message to let us know that you cant come along anymore. Just saying!

Hi I did RSVP once but not being a paid member was hard to message and say I got up with work as it was a bit early in the afternoon Hopefully I'll be able to make it up the next one if I do get invited My sincere apologies again to anyone whom I may have disappointed by not turning up..and also to the members of Perth socialites group - Posted from rhpmobile

With so many [single] men complaining that the odds are stacked against them on this or any other similar site, and then they have the opportunity to meet in person some of these ladies they say are so hard to meet via the site, and then they don't show up? How bizarre. Short of last minute emergencies, why wouldn't you at the very least pop in briefly? - Posted from rhpmobile

Exactly. Quite bizarre. One small meet and greet in Melbourne, there were so many single women who turned up and so few single men. Why complain you can't meet women or get women to respond? The opportunity missed...

If somebody is unable to attend a function of any kind they can be taken off the list of attendees by the host of the event on RHP so it no longer looks like they are coming. A simple message or comment on the event page is all thats needed. Unfortunately some people just don't care. It's for this reason we always have to organise prepayment for our events, or be left out of pocket. We had the opposite happen at the last event we helped put together after experimenting with allowing females free entry for the first time. After much confirmations and messaging on our behalf more than half failed to show. So its back to prepayment for all now. Its genuinely frustrating as I don't think people understand the time and effort that goes in to such nights. Hopefully the next night we put together the invite list for doesn't have the same issues, though we usually only give 2 chances and then you've done your dash for future events. Guess we'll find out on August 11 (shameless plug).

Guess we'll find out on August 11 (shameless plug). I think people are unaware that they can get their name removed from the 'interested' list or that as organisers they can remove people from that list. But at the same time an 'interested' list is - by definition - just an expression of interest so I never take it to mean that those people will be in attendance. As an organiser of events though you're right about how frustrating it is when you have no shows. We organised an event quite a few months ago and had great numbers but still a few no shows and a few that cancelled last minute but at least had the decency to say why. Pre-payment is smart but even doing that people still didn't show. As you said, at least you aren't out of pocket though. I went to a Pleasure Lounge event last weekend and while close to 40 people (many couples) had registered interest there were maybe 20 people there in total. Pretty disappointing but luckily we knew a couple that were going so we had a fun night anyway. I think when it comes to social meet and greets, the reason so many more women turn up than men (generalising here) is because the males that express interest and don't turn up are often the ones that are of the 'this is a sex site' mentality and so they 'aren't here to socialise' and are just putting their name down to widen their net, so to speak. Those same males are the ones that chicken out of coming to any events alone too. Let's be honest though, people in general these days are unreliable as all hell, I have trouble even getting friends together. Miss Little xx
