thats right folks, I am putting forward an idea that maybe part of this site could add dating to it.
the reason
who know actors better than other actors
and yes I am putting myself up and forward to say I am single , I am looking for Miss right or as close as we can get because
life is to short to go through the chase the list of many , many women
so come on lets have your thoughts on this suject
have i gone to far? i am some sort of nut?
Editorial Comment We'd prefer to keep dating from table and for CCP to be a professional site for actors. That said, the networking side really seems to be taking off and the green room's buzzing. We'll look into doing another social event (we had our first one just before Christmas, which was very popular... if somewhat crowded!).
As it happens, we do run a dating site: SnogLondon.com and any members of CCP are welcome to join, create a profile and we'll give you free membership.
Sample Profile
You're also welcome to pass this offer on to non-CCP members: www.snoglondon.com/valentine
Myabe we could orchestrate some way to get everyone to talk to everyone else at the social events. It seemed like a kinda crammed party, which made it a little difficult just to start a conversation with strangers.
Any ideas?
Mark.
Editorial Comment Yep, the venue was too small though it forced you to talk and most people were in the same boat, not knowing anyone, so got stuck in. Next time we'll get somewhere bigger and have a more structured nature to the night - perhaps with a presentation from an industry professional beforehand.
last year I went to a Shooting people party
at club KOKO , it was organized , a good social networking night was had by all , maybe a joint night next time with shootingpeople might be a good idea
i tried to join snoglondon but it asked for payment and i thought ccp users had free membership? so needless to say my profile had been archived by myself and now i cant access my profile to activate it,aaargh!
so yes, maybe meet ups would be better ideas....not necessarily for the purposes of dating but just for extending your circle of buddies!
Editorial Comment Hi Abbey, profile reactivated and marked as paying. To anyone else considering registering with SnogLondon, just drop us an email when you've created the profile so we can activate free membership. Thanks, Simon
Hi,
I do agree that no one really does know actors better than actors but I do agree with those guys in admin, this should be purely proffessional site. even though I am sure we have all seen a few hotties on the site it is probably best to keep it acting hey guys?!
sure , keep the site proffessional business work related but some people like us who find that when we tell peple that we meet that we actors the dreaded thought crosses the mind "he/she is wierd, skint, always pretending to be some one else" and other such talk from people not understanding this type of life
and just in case it crossed anyone minds
"i am not talking casting couch here"
but still thats another topic that could be opened up or not
i agree that site should be kept Pro, but i thought the point of a forum was to discuss and bounce ideas off each other, and there has been huge discussion about meets etc so i guess that the whole point of the post was to create an idea and maybe extend your friends network. Im sure no one meant to make the site amateur by throwing in an idea off of the meet up thread.
I guess it is hard to get tone of voice across in a posting!
Indeed that is what these forums are for throwing out ideas and getting different opinions back.
You do have to ask yourself though if the person you are asking out purely judges you on your career then maybe they aren;t the right person for you...
anyway as admin has said, snog london is free for all us ccp'ers so maybe those who register will meet other actors on there or at the next ccp event
good luck to all in their search for acting and love! :)
well i've said all i can say, this was'nt just ment for me but for anyone and everyone , because i'm sure that some of you in thei business find that unless your lucky to have some close friends who give you balance in your/our lives you can find an type of emptyness when your not working "as in acting work" with other like minded people an example
the place where i work at the moment
the people are nice work average but try to explain what happens when you in character , when your acting "in the zone" as it where, there do not understand, and cannot unles they there.
still thanks to all of you who have looked ,read and responed,
bye for now
100% agree with the admin on this. CCP is an acting community site and, may I say, a bloody good one...although it could do with a few more decent castings on it but I suppose that depends on your interpretation of the word decent.
Lets not turn CCP into "jack of all trades" as it just takes the focus away from what attracted us here in the first place.
More networking events is what I think is called for but lets not start a discussion about turning these into speed dating events.
A few people have joined SnogLondon - which is fab, just in time for Valentine's day - just a reminder that if you do create a profile please just drop us a line once you've done so then we can activate free membership.
i think the socal networking parties are a great idea!!! its always nice to meet new people, especially that understadnd the way your 'acting life' works etc.
having said that, i try not to ever date other actors!!! usually people who have a similar passion for something creative though! haha
is'nt that a bit of a blanket no i'm mean we all diffrent no person or actor is the same as the next one , but then again arn't we all actors "those who have a normal job" acting all the time
I reckon we should have an Anti-Valentines Day. You know...an event where all us singletons can sit in a bar with paper bags on our heads listening to songs that remind us of our last break up whilst discussing exactly what "it isn't you, it's me" really means...
done it , i think i just about done them all so i thought i stick my neck out here and see what happens , proply nothing but still "if we do not try" we might as well . . . ..
i let you fill in the rest
the best thing to do on valentines day if your single in my experience is to get together with all your single mates and go out on the town!
whenever ive done that ive always had a great night and its totally not depressing as all the loved up couples are far away from there...usually in restaurants paying 3 times the normal price purely to compete with other couples at other tables on who can make the most romantic gestures to their partner (euuugh!!) or at home canoodling...
plus, you know if you see someone out that you fancy, chances are theyre single otherwise theyd be with thier other halves doing something romantic! heheheehehe
anyway valentines day is a big con, love isnt about doing something romantic ONE DAY of a year at the same time as half the population! haha
not that im anti valentines atall ............. ;-)
