Why don't you go to POF Social Mixer Events?

I see some cities have a few sign up, some have 50, some have 100.
It seems to vary. I can do a search to see how many people live in my area.
Is it because people do NOT use the forums to know that there is such a thing as a POF Singles Mixer?
Maybe they just make a profile and think that's it.

So what keeps you from going to a PlentyOfFish Singles Mixer?

I generally find that the mixers aren't really for my age bracket. I mean, I've met some great people there, but they were generally on the other side of 40 from me.

Ready, I think it has do with where you post too. For example, Delaware is near Philadelphia, Baltimore and DC. Thats 4 different forums. If someone posts in any of the city forums, I'll probably miss it. But if you advertize in the gatherings forum, I may catch it.

I work 2nd shift on a Friday and that's about all they offer is Friday nights. I can only do summer or on a holiday if it fell on a Friday.

I am looking for more in south suburbs, NOT bar oriented.

I try to make the ones in the Aurora area. If and when my work schedule does not conflict. But the ones where i can hear the music 50 feet from the entrance with the doors shut, i take a pass on.

Didn',t know there were forums for Springfield. Usually, they're for the huge cities in Ca. or N.Y. POF should have an area on the main page the makes the forums stand more.

Distance mostly - Williow Springs and Plainfield/joliet area is an hour one way.

If one was done somewhere south of oak lawn or close to the indiana border I'd probably go.

If the ladies can't say hello here, I doubt they can say hello face to face.

I plan 2 events a month.
I post them on the website forums.
The notices get sent to email boxes.
The notices show up under your mail area where you see your Inbox when you check it.
I put it on the bar's Facebook (If they have one)
J.P. Kelly's is:
http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/profile.php?id=100000387662510&ref=ts
I put the next event and link in my own profile as they come up.

I am not sure what else I can do...LOL.

I tell people to click on Forums----then USA Forums----then Illinois------the red text "Illinois Singles Events".........and there is a list of all the events in Illinois including the 2 a month I plan here in Springfield.

I am taking ideas on how to get the word out!

Do you know if there are ever any events in Lake county or near the Wisconsin/Illinois border? I would love to go out this weekend but everything is sooooo far away!

POF Events are everywhere.

The Red text in the forums are called "illinois Singles Events".
http://forums.plentyoffish.com/partythread39.aspx

If you do not see it in there and want something closer.....then click on "Create a Party" link.
That is inside the "Illinois Singles Events". It should take you to....
http://forums.plentyoffish.com/AddPost.aspx?ForumID=39&party=1

If you host one..then it will be exactly in the best location you were looking for..LOL.

Actually---this is what many people do that do not see an event in the "illinois Singles Events" area that is close enough for them.

I would go to one but it seems as if the mixers appeal to those who are over my age limit.

I don't see any mark.
Where do you see it?

Never mind..

If you click on the icons to the right side of the postings...when you post a NEW one...
you can add cartoon characters.

One of them is the exclamation mark.
or you type : stop : which will get you the same effect.

You must have clicked on one of those animated characters.

I live and work in Springfield. I have yet to see a line-up of events to attend. There were a few last year. I did attend a couple, they seemed to consist of guys who were there to drink a lot, and gals who were there to drink a lot (at the expense of those guys) and maybe "hook -up". While I do my fair share of partying, that scene was not what I was looking to find. I can do that any night of the week. I am more looking to meet, converse and maybe connect.
Is anybody up for that?

Probably figure the guy to girl ratio is going to be 3 to 1, like most of places to meet people, around where I live.
