Amen to what HoneyRose postedI agree with everything Emily said. But the group of people mingling...hmmmm, I get many invites for that, but I haven't had interest to come. That means I will be seen in person by many people. I'd rather meet one on one for discretion purpose...but that is just my personal opinion.
Each lady has different circumstances which effect whether she would consider doing this or not. For example, A lady may have kids, a real life job, Real life friendships to nurture, etc. Throw in gents who want to meet her for drinks for free or by giving her a deposit. This type of lady is going with the bird in hand (like HoneyRose mentioned.) Like Pyramider said...time is money, especially to this type of lady.
Other ladies have more free time and available to meet with no time constraints.
OBSG, Your scenario will work for some ladies. Other options would be to get a group of people together. Ladies and Gents to meet and mingle. It's an opportunity for a gent to see if he clicks with a lady. A lady would be mingling with more than one gent (marketing herself). This may be valuable time she is willing to give.
This was mentioned in another thread on M & G's. It's time consuming for anyone to step up and start one of these functions. The people in that other thread would be a place to start. The desire has been expressed.

You do things your way and I will do mine my way. Why would you crittize someone elses way of screening women? I don't see why some of you wasted your time posting on the thread as you added nothing to the topic of how to make meetings like this work. I know I would like to know how some of you decide who to see. Not that I would change the way I do things, but you never know what tips you can pick up along the way. And things to avoid as well.If its a proven method why are you asking about it? I thinck it's obvious what you are doing. You are seeking free time , or severely discounted time from the lady. Just pay her rate and do a dinner date because that is whet you are seeking.
I have done this or something like it many times and have never been dissappointed with the session when it took place later. Not once. OTOH, when I don't follow my process before seeing a lady, I have a much lower success rate of being happy with the results.
Again, this is not a thread on should these kinds of meetings be done. If you want to discuss that, please do so . In your own thread. Originally Posted by OldButStillGoing
