I am seeking advice regarding starting a social life in a new country. What I usually do is, engage in my normal activities( team sports and checking out new places) but being visibly a foreigner, meaningful connections are hardly formed. What do you think and can suggest?

Has anyone in this group hired a VA to help with all the open thread invites?

I haven't found this question discussed in depth, but many people, including myself, have encountered this problem. The general advice is often vague: - Make the offer better. - Expect people to flake. - It is what it is. I've hosted multiple events with varying turnouts, from low attendance to overcrowded parties where my building threatened to shut down the event. Yet, I still struggle with flaking. Process: 1. Send invite. 2. Chicks respond. 3. Send additional info. 4. Chicks confirm. 5. Follow up a day or two before the event. 6. Error - many ignore the follow-up, resulting in only 15-25% attendance. This sometimes results in wasted resources and money when people who confirmed flake without responding or giving an excuse. Typically, I cut off people who flake without a response. However, you can only cut so many people before you run out of top chicks. I'm wondering: What goes through the minds of chicks who confirm but still flake? Do others run into this problem? How do you deal with it?

One theme that you notice when you speak about social circle with a lot of people in different cities is how there are some event types which trend with the popular circles everywhere (clubs, restaurants, charity events, etc), and some which are very specific to individual cities (yachts, bikini contests, picnics, mansion parties, etc). What unique event types do you guys have in your cities ?

Hey MOA, What are some of the perfumes that you regularly use when you go out?
