Snarky Dating Night Rulez
Everyone is allowed to say no. You don't need a reason. We have these nights because there are 1000's of singles in Seattle. If the person u like doesn't like you, there are tons more, either tonight or next time. So say no. Listen to other people’s no’s. Let the No’s happen.
"No" is a complete sentence. You don't need to explain your reasons.
Our securty is here for a reason. Please be cool. We want everyone to have fun, and to feel respected. If you or your friend can’t be cool, we have a system for getting you to leave.
Consent is necessary for any next steps. No internet stalking unless you get permission. "Can I look you up online?!?" is a question you have to ask before you stalk someone on insta/linked in/fb/tiktok/google.
*****Unless it’s Alisa Starr. Alisa Starr always wants to be stalked. There are hundreds of photos/videos/essays by her online. Watch her every move.
Making friends is as awesome as meeting lovers. Be nice to everyone.
If you're not comfortable, tell anyone who works here. We don't want anyone to say something gross, mean or fucked up to you.
If you make someone uncomfortable, you'll be asked to leave. If you’re asked to leave, please go. Don’t make it weird. Make it a story you tell later. Where you’re not the asshole at the end.
The condoms are here for a reason. Take 1. Take 5. Use them.
25% of everyone in the US has Herpes. Talking about STI's is a form of consent. That's why we put them in the getting to know you questions.
Talking shit is the best part of dating. In between asking and answering questions, you’ll be encouraged to go talk shit about the people you just met at the bar. We want you to be nice. But, like, to people’s faces.
Everyone is beautiful. And everyone is ugly. But we’re only focusing on the beauty tonight. If someone isn’t your type, don’t say why. Don’t make fun of someone’s physical form. Their clothes, the things they say or do are all fine.
We will ask you to label yourself tonight. For this event. If you want to participate, be ready to say. Your name tag will be in the color of what you want. Looking for dating: Yellow. Looking for friends: Red. Looking to hook-up. Green. Looking to for whatever: Blue. The top of your name tag will say your pronouns. Bottom is who you're looking for. I'm a she/her, looking for a dude brohaus.
There will be a safeword of the night. If you feel uncomfortable and say words about it, say "balloon". And we'll leave you alone. Accept the conversation is over. We all say the wrong things sometimes. Alisa Starr has made a career out of it.
