On the topic of "costs".
Here's our take.
As a couple - we don't play on a first date. So that usually means meeting a couple for a drink to test synergies "face to face". So... thats 3 hours of our time. Minimum. Plus drinks. On average 3 out of 5 of these meets don't end up in play owing to "lack of synergies". So there's a heavy time investment to meet peeps that way.
Or. You can go to 1 party at a club. Get to meet 25 couples in the space of 3 hours easily. It's a no brainer to spot the miss-matches. If there's a couple we both like the "look and feel" of - we'll hit them up with a convo. Usually 10 minutes of chatting and we know if we want to take things into a bedroom. We'll get their deets and message them later (if play that night isn't possible).
So we see the clubs as a Speed Dating opportunity. Getting to face to face with 10 couples is going to take months and cost 20 times more than a single club visit.
Just our 5c
