Events & Adventures Thrives as Traditional Matchmaking Flounders
A New Article in the Huffington Post Reveals Why Traditional Matchmaking Is Losing Its Appeal -- and Why Many Singles Are Flocking to Organizations Like Events & Adventures
(firmenpresse) - BELLEVUE, WA -- (Marketwire) -- 05/14/12 -- For some, matchmaking is a kind of a hobby. Setting up single friends with other single friends, and hoping that the sparks of romance fly, provides a visceral thrill. A new in the Huffington Post, however, reveals that many matchmakers are beginning to realize just how uncertain their methods really are. As matchmaking becomes less common and less widely trusted, singles are turning to new avenues for meeting potential mates -- including organizations like Events & Adventures, which puts singles in touch with one another for friendship and fun, without the baggage that typically accompanies a "dating" site.
Rachel Eddey, the author of the Huffington editorial, reveals that her own mistrust in matchmaking comes from personal experience. To date, the author writes, she has played "matchmaker" for four different couples, and none of them have worked out in the least.
While matchmaking often involves a great deal of amateur analysis, pairing singles whose personality traits or values may seem, on the surface, to be compatible, it just as frequently boils down to the fact that two people are single, and well-intentioned friends assume that is all the common ground they need to form a connection. , by contrast, avoids "matchmaking" schemes and compatibility profiles altogether. The organization is not a dating site at all, actually, but rather is a company offering a social calendar full of events and outings, open to all members.
Some of these listings on the Events & Adventures calendar include group exercise sessions, wine tasting events, mixers, parties, bike tours, bowling tournaments, beach days, and more. The idea behind Events & Adventures is that singles will come to enjoy casual friendship and fun -- and that, possibly, romance will blossom from there.
The organization is adamant in maintaining its position as something very different than a dating site. In fact, Events & Adventures claims that while most dating sites and services make grandiose promises, many members end up meeting very few interesting and exciting people.
By contrast, is devoted to helping members meet as many different people as possible. Rather than only meeting those chosen by personality profiles, the service offers access to a huge variety of interesting people, all united by a desire to simply enjoy a good time together.
The organization is also noteworthy for helping its members sidestep many of the pressures typically associated with dating services. The outings and activities offered by Events & Adventures are designed to provide a casual and laid-back atmosphere where fun and friendship come first; the pressure to "perform" or to be "on," so common among dating services, is largely absent from the Events & Adventures methodology.
