Event guest lists & no shows

That sounds very disappointing. Sometimes there are good reasons not to show up I guess. If they are able to message you though, they should. It would be nice if there was a list of people (that guests could opt in for) that have demonstrated the ability to show up. If they don't show up they would risk being cut from the list. If they have two 'no shows' then they would get cut. Nothing more disappointing than unreliability.

A guy once told me he registers on every event to make himself look hardcore 😏 but rarely ever goes. Im guessing a few people do the same.

That is lame, but we have noticed it. We sometimes register an interest for events, then forget we have done that. RHP's Events system is very poorly done, like these forums. The system does not notify us of events we're interested in coming up, nor of any changes to an event. All of us have to remember everthing we're interested in, and go back to manually check each event. It's not better than a paper calendar, here in 2022. Actually a paper calendar is far better, as we could see at glance what we have coming up... with RHP we have to remember what we registered for a month or more ago, and go find it again. - Alex.

We often express interest in multiple events to determine which ones would be suitable for us. It would be great if they improve the functionality of events on RHP since it’s a key differentiator over other apps.

Interesting feedback, I never thought about the pros and cons of RHPs events features. Even when I remind people, often they can’t remember which event it was they registered for and I can’t send a link with the reminder.

Yes I have noticed that. I think it is the profiles attempt to look real.

Not sure if it is still the same as its a couple of years since I registered for an event but there was no option to remove yourself from the list if something changed and you were unable to attend. But there were people that registered for several events that were on the same night. Wishy washy people that couldn't make up their minds and fucked everyone around....

As a frequent event organiser, from experience, only about one third of expressed interest actually buys tickets or turn up. That's just a given. And we find most interest is expressed only in the week prior to the event, which can be frustrating for event planning. However we totally understand this. Most people aren't prepared to commit to an event or pay for one less than a week or two out. Life gets busy, emergencies pop up, swinging for most people is a side gig and not their main priority. It's the same for us when we express interest in an event. Sometimes we go. Sometimes we don't. I do agree that a function in the app would be handy that indicates confirmed and paid guests cause quite often our decision to attend an event is based on who the other guests going are. Oh and not to hijack your post J, but feel free to check out our two upcoming events everyone!! 😅😆

As an event organiser, as the previous messages have indicated, the actual turnout is less than half. Even the ‘absolutely definitely coming, already in the Uber on our way’ messages can’t be trusted 🤣 As an attendee, I wouldn’t want my attendance advertised for security reasons. So we simply contact the hosts directly.

Maybe off topic, for which I apologise, I've often seen the interested number over the anticipated number and NOT bothered to register my interest

I'd swing the other way and suggest organisers be grateful that their event is looking like it's of interest - which only harnesses more interest - and treat it like a Facebook event ie a tool through which to spread awareness that your event exists, when it's on and what's its vibe. With unticketed events in public spaces we've sometimes turned up, stayed for a short while and vibed it's not for us and left. The organisers might think we were a no show. Anyone putting on free events, for swingers, kinksters, vanilla or business folk aren't owed anything unless there's been clear communication and promises from potential attendees - or communication that spots are limited and a no show is stopping someone who would have come from coming. Sometimes when there's not a price on something people don't value it, and the mere act of adding a $10 or $15 token fee clears away the time wasters.

As previously mentioned only about 1/3 of people interested in an event will attend. A lot of the guests to my events don’t register here and are invited through other means. Many people also constantly register but never respond to invites. As a group a lot of people also miss invites as people don’t have their accounts open to recieving messages from groups and they go in the junk folder. You’ll also notice a lot of people play both sides and commit to multiple events on the same night snd then see which is more popular or don’t attend events at all. This is exactly why our events are prepaid to ensure numbers are true. In the past whenever something is free people tend to no show a whole lot more.

Yes a great opportunity for a smart developer to come up with a swingers event organising app that allows the organiser to arrange, take payments, and shows who is interested and who paid to attend. Small fee off each payment should cover the cost I feel. Seems there is a real need for this.

Why would you bother to check who is coming? It's the same as post on FB, watched in millions, liked in thousands. More than half of all interested in the event are not verified or just guest members.

I RSVP to a lot and don't go. Some of us have lives outside of rhp, and aren't hanging on to a swingers invite.

I will never understand why people do this. It just wastes everyone’s time and clearly people are going to notice your not at the event!
