Some friends and I recently attended a singles dance at the 100th Bomb Group restaurant. This dance was sponsored by a local Plenty Of Fish (www.plentyoffish.com) group. We figured “What the heck?” and decided to check it out.
In brief… it was very disappointing. A total waste of time and money. If you’re thinking about checking this place out, then I’d recommend saving your money and going somewhere else instead.
I don’t feel like composing a long post right now, so I’ll spare you a litany of the reasons why we didn’t like the dance. I can mention, however, that the dance floor was tiny and crowded. Also, some of the people there are just plain rude — horribly, horribly rude. A total lack of social skills.
On a less important note, I also notice that the wooden floor was heavily varnished. Now, I’m no dance expert, but I question the wisdom of having so much varnish on the floor. Doesn’t that make the dance surface kinda tacky? I mean that in the slightly adhesive sense, that is, not in the sense of good taste.
One more thing: While my friends and I weren’t interested in scoping out the opposite sex, I could also see that this venue wouldn’t provide great opportunities for meeting new people. It’s more the sort of environment where people wind up sticking around in their own groups, so if you’re looking to meet people of the opposite sex, you’d probably be better off going somewhere else.
In brief, I really can’t recommend these dances. Your time and money would be better spent doing something else.
