This is my review of Cindy's Singles membership club…read more To be clear, a membership costs $600 and lasts three months. I bought one membership in December of 2019 and another in 2023. I was first recommended to join by a coworker who had happily married a Chinese woman through Cindy's. I thought it was a good idea because I was beginning to want to settle down. Additionally, her office is three blocks from my house. My friend arranged for me to meet Cindy in her office. Before going, I checked out the website and browsed the gallery of female members. On the day I showed up, Cindy presented three notebooks and gave me a piece of paper to write down the members I wanted to meet. I think I wrote down twenty names but was only introduced to two women from that list. A few days later, she sent me a WeChat contact for a girl pretty in her 30s like me. I thought this first match would be the one, but my excitement faded when my friend, who had recommended the service, told me that this girlwas actually Cindy's niece and was already in a relationship with another man. At that point, I realized the service wasn't what I thought it was. However, feeling desperate, I assumed it might have been a mistake by Cindy, so I shouldn't worry. I thought her notebooks full of women would be effective, but it turned out they were outdated, and most of the women had either changed locations or were now married. Cindy makes matches based on birth years. I was born in 1983, so she introduced me to women born around that year.She claims. For some of the matches, I would contact the girls, but they wouldn't respond or didn't know I had been given their contact information by Cindy. There were many awkward WeChat messages. In most cases, you are given the WeChat contact of a girl who is also being contacted by four other guys at the same time. Many matches require you to meet the girl in Cindy's office. What you don't know is that the girl is sitting there all day meeting other men. You often walk in to see flowers and gifts from other members. Here are some examples of matches Cindy made: Example 1: One match she arranged for me was a girl who needed to be picked up from a supermarket and brought to Cindy's office. I never spoke to her again. Example 2: Another match was a girl who was already in a relationship, which she told me on our first date. A week prior, she had been single in Cindy's office, but by our date, she was already in a relationship. Example 3: Another match Cindy made for me was rumored to be transgender. I don't know for sure, but several members told me this. I never indicated that I was interested in transgender individuals. Example 4: A flight attendant who later told me she only joined Cindy's to network and find people to play board games with on weekends. Probably my only successful match was a teacher I went out with a few times, and we became intimate. The only problem was that she was dating a much older white man from Cindy's, and I saw them out on a date at the mall. It was very embarrassing for me. If you are introduced at a party, your chances are even worse. As I mentioned in my previous review, the parties are poorly organized, and priority is given to the sponsor and other Chinese members. At my first party, Cindy told me she would introduce me to anyone I was interested in. A few times, I asked her, "Hey, can you introduce me to that member?" and she would get a panicked look and say the girl was not a member. Many times, I was introduced to women who couldn't speak English, and Cindy would walk away, leaving the girl looking very confused. At one particular party, I told Cindy to introduce me to one girl, and she told me to come back later. When I returned hours later after taking care of my mom, who had a broken hip, Cindy said she didn't want to interrupt another guy who was talking to the girl. Very insulting. The next day she called me up and asked to to come to her house to meet an attractive Taiwanese female I hadn't seen before. Very early on, Cindy said my pictures were "scary." She didn't give me any advice on how to take a new picture or even ask me for another; she just told me I was "scary." Upon renewing my membership, I had to ask her to change my picture. The picture wasn't bad. A few weeks ago, I spoke to Cindy about the failures of her service, and she explained that another female member had been telling other female members I was a playboy. She never spoke to this other member or told them to stop apparently. It's shocking and hurtful that she would tell me this years later after taking my money. She even offered to set me up again with her niece (now engaged). Cindy has a lot of influence over the girls you are matched with. If she doesn't like you personally, then there's not much she will do for you. There's little thought put into matches other than making you feel like you have choices. She just keeps you hoping.

City Club is located off of 6th St & Figueroa St in DTLA, on the 51st floor of the south tower of…read moreCity National Plaza. As soon as the elevator doors open, you can feel how fancy this social club is. The views of downtown are spectacular! I came with my coworkers for a Dine LA lunch and we were almost disappointed to be seated so quickly because we just wanted to look out the windows! We all ordered off the Dine LA menu (which was reasonably priced). For starters, I had the Ceasar Salad. For my entree, I had the Crispy Chicken Sando with fries. For dessert, I had the Chocolate Crunch Bar. Since I'm an accountant, naturally I needed to unwind from month-end with a drink, so I treated myself to a Nutcracker cocktail (whiskey). The waiters were great with refilling our waters and checking up on us while we waited for our food. When they took my plate away after I was done with my salad, they quickly brought another clean fork for the rest of the meal (pretty nice touch). Our entrees took a wee bit long to come, but it's not like we were dying to go back to the office anyways! The food was pretty dang good and very filling! Whether you want to treat yo' self, have a nice date night, or have a bougie outing with friends, City Club is top-tier in fine wining and dining in the city. One thing worth mentioning - they add an automatic 20% service charge for all food and beverage, so know before you go! There also is a dress code, but if you're dressed business casual you got no worries. I could never afford the membership for this social club, but the restaurant is chef's kiss!

We had the chance to dine at City Club LA during one of their Dining in the Dark events, and it was…read moreunforgettable. The views alone are stunning!!! Being perched high above downtown on floor 51 gives you that classic LA wow moment before the blindfolds even come out. The team checked in with us ahead of time about allergies and dietary preferences, and we were able to choose our protein (fish, chicken, red meat, vegetarian, etc.). After being seated, we were each given a blindfold and served a multi-course meal without knowing what we were eating. Eating without sight is wild. Fun fact: most of what we think of as "taste" actually comes from sight and smell, so taking vision out of the equation completely rewires how your brain experiences food. Every bite turned into a guessing game, and we were laughing the whole time trying to figure out what flavors we were picking up. At the end, the chef came out to reveal each dish, and hearing what we actually ate versus what we thought we ate was half the fun. We even fed each other while blindfolded, which was chaotic, hilarious, and instantly a core memory. Perfect for date night or something different. These events don't happen all the time, so if you see it pop up again, don't overthink it, book it.

I came to the Social Club for JiJi's Jazz Lounge, which is an open jam and artist showcase. JiJi's…read moreJazz Lounge is an awesome event that you should all tune into, and the vibe is perfectly matched by the Social Club. The shrink menu was curated for the Lounge, and they were really yummy. I won't talk too much about them in this case they were limited offerings for just the lounge. I will speak to their wine selection, which includes great wines and natural wines too. The wine service was amazing as well. I got some snacks to start off the night, like the cheese board and toasted bread. Both were really well done and delicious. I would definitely come back for a date night. It is very cozy and cute here. The decor and seating options are beautiful, and there is an outdoor area to play games as well. The cool thing that they offer here is an all-inclusive wedding package for up to 35 people for just $10k-- that's a steal!! Might mess around and get married, honestly. Parking is a little tricky, but there is a park nearby. I assume there is parking there, but I ended up parking in their parking lot, which is reserved for other businesses during regular hours.

Not our Elks club but a friend was coming to their Superbowl party so we decided to come here…read more Super great group of people here, but that is normal for Elk's clubs. We really enjoyed ourselves. It was a potluck type offering but you could also have your own stuff. Everyone was very shareful and kind to us strangers. Then again, we brought 12 persons. I would definitely come back. Oh yeah, i am back on Thursday because my wife comes to Bingo with her friend :)

My husband and I got married here at the end of May - it's a beautiful, magical, quirky place, and…read moreit's also very affordable. Even though it rained, which is almost unheard of at this time of year, we had an amazing time. Ken, the caretaker, is a very sweet man and very helpful. For a very low fee, we spent the night in the adorable private apartment, and some friends stayed in the bunkhouse, which was a really nice perk. Also, since you just pay per person, we were able to afford to reserve the venue the day before and the day after in order to set up and clean up - that was a real godsend. As others have noted, we had to hire a shuttle service, which did increase our cost. Unfortunately, it's not a very accessible site for people with disabilities. All in all, we're very happy we got married at Nature Friends, and look forward to spending more time there in the future!
