The event was held at Out Bar on a Wednesday night, so while Out's normal clientele were around, the venue was quiet enough to permit conversation between participants.
Here are the event statistics.
Half of the participants this time round found matches.
Interestingly enough, one pair of participants matched up even though they already knew each other and came to the event together! They both indicated they didn't want to date each other, but at the end of the event, they both put each other down as a match.
Turns out that 7for7 events are a great place to test if you can move from the "friend zone" to something perhaps a little more intimate, without exposing your interest unnecessarily.
On a scale of 0 to 4, the feedback score was 3.4, highly positive feedback.
Some participants commented on the dim lighting. However, the venue being a bar, I hope participants can understand that the lighting is bound to be softer. On the plus side, soft diffused lighting hides the flaws in everyone's skin tone!
As for the space issues some participants mentioned, we are somewhat constrained by the fact that the venue must remain open to business, since the event is relatively small-scale and we cannot possibly reserve the entire space. We hope participants understand these constraints.
As mentioned during the event, we'll hold our next event when there is sufficient interest forthcoming. Till then, enjoy your matches for those who have them, and we look forward to seeing you again in the future.
