How do you guys go about arranging how you meet up with the girls you invited out to events? Do you try and meet outside or inside of the venue?

Do you guys put some sort of marking or highlight on the girls you have open threads with on your list so they’re easier to find? I feel when you send a ton of invites the open threads get lost in the pile.

What you guy’s take on purchasing tickets for the girls you invite to an event? Especially when you have no leverage with the host yet so you can’t get a group discount or comps yet?

It seems like a lot of the guys here are just starting out building their Instagram profiles and have very few followers. This immediately breaks the whole preselection and "social proof" illusion, in my opinion. A "verified" checkmark next to your name is only worth something if you have a consistent following, otherwise it's just stupid (no real point in paying Meta a monthly fee if only your mom follows you on Instagram). This is not a new idea at all (and I believe similar threads already exist on this forum), but instead of growing in isolation, let’s create a simple place to connect. Drop your IG handle below + 1 sentence on your niche/vibe. Follow 5–10 people above you whose content you genuinely resonate with, and like a few posts so the algorithm connects you. When you follow someone, reply to their comment so they can follow back if they want. The goal is to create a supportive, high-quality social graph inside the group, not a cheesy “follow-for-follow.” This should help everyone get early momentum and makes the algorithm less brutal when starting from zero.

I'm a recent member of my local chapter of the Lions Club, an internationally run charity organisation with community focus. They're organising a ticketed event in a couple of weeks that even members attending need to pay for (no freebies). I think I mentioned a few weeks ago that one of the ladies at my local hairdresser offered to help me with pre-selection photos by getting some of her colleagues together. I mentioned the event to her and said I'd cover the ticket fee (a little over AU$50; I figured I can cover up to six plus myself). One thing I'm wondering, though: where is this on the funnel-to-crutch spectrum of using money to aid connection?
