Events and Adventures

This service SUCKS with a capital bull%$&*.
I moved to the Stl area about a year ago and heard one of their commercials geared at people who are «single, divorced, new in town, or all friends are married.» Since I was all four of those things, I figured this was tailor-​made for me and was worth checking out. Well all I can say is I’ll take «Really Bad Ideas» for $ 1500, Alex… because that’s how much this «exclusive» group will cost you at the MINIMUM for a 1 year membership.
Of course there’s no way you’ll get that information out of them until AFTER they stick you in a room with an ultra-​friendly and upbeat «interviewer» whose job it is to gain your trust with a story and a smile and then proceed to ram a high-​pressure sales pitch down your throat.
Really, there isn’t much else I can say about this farce that Tracey didn’t already say perfectly, so yeah… just read that review again because it’s all 100% true. What a bunch of JERKS.

There is a special place reserved in Hell for the mastermind behind Events and Adventures.
Being in the dating pool is punishment enough without having to deal with this unscrupulous, unethical company.
Preying on single people is right up there with preying on kids dying of cancer.
The radio ads might as well be an unmarked van that says «free candy» on it for single people. They boast that it isn’t a dating service, but an exclusive club of people who love to get out and do things.
SCAM!!! LIE!!!
When you call, they insist that you come in for an «interview» (sales pitch). They refuse to quote any prices over the phone (red flag number one). Once you get there, you discover that it is EXORBITANTLY expensive, almost prohibitively so. On top of the membership fee, most of the events cost money. Finally, THEY WILL NOT LET YOU GO TO AN EVENT TO CHECK IT OUT BEFORE YOU SIGN UP FOR A YEAR COMMITMENT. That is the biggest BS I’ve ever heard in my entire life. That proves right there that they don’t stand behind their product.
Don’t believe me? Check out the BBB on Events and Adventures.
I bet you 10 pints of Ben and Jerry’s that 50 fake 5-​star reviews will pop up from question marks no sooner than I submit this review, but I urge you to try them so you can see for yourself. I have known people that have unfortunately been suckered into joining and REALLY regretted it.
I can think of about 50 billion better and cheaper ways to meet people. Like, hey, stand on the corner, hold up a couple thousand dollars, and scream HEY! I have 2 grand (and my self respect) because I DIDN’T join Events and Adventures!!!
P. S. The fact that this company is listed under the «advertising» category is pretty interesting.
