TMT40s Meet-up Status Update #4

Hi Titos and Titas,

Thanks to all those who confirmed and deposited their joining fees. Don't worry, your money is safe with me.

We have not received responses from some of the initial registrants, so we are reallocating their slots to those on our wait-list.

To our wait-listers:

We have sent you the offer messages via email, TG, or Reddit. You may now secure your slots by completing the payment using the QR code provided. Please deposit before August 22 and reply to my message with proof of deposit.

Paging (code name) Boom Bilyo - please DM me. I can't find you on TG or Reddit.

Other updates:

Program Flow - We have finalized the 3-hour program consisting of icebreakers, games, discussions, culminating activity, and socials.

Prizes - We are currently seeking sponsors for our prizes. Salamat u/hersoftglow !

Parking - There is a pay parking near the venue. Street parking is also available.

Dress code - There will be games (konting takbuhan) so wear something comfortable but still appropriate for the event.

KTV - the venue is equipped with state-of-the-art KTV equipment. Maganda yung room promise! 4 ang TV monitors and may mini stage for the program.

Food and drinks are part of the consumables. We will preorder food and drinks and serve them at different intervals para makapagparticipate ang lahat sa activity, at hindi muna malasing.

FAQs

Q: Pwede bang manood lang? Ayoko kasing makipagdate.

A: Again, this event is NOT really a dating event. It's supposed to be a meet-up lang but we thought of incorporating a dating portion. Most activities focus on interacting with fellow participants and sharing thoughts about specific topics. At the end of the day, baka kabisado niyo na profile ng at least half of the participants. Hindi namin kayo ifoforce-match. Those who are not willing to participate in the dating portion may opt not to join.

Q: Pano kung gusto ko talagang makameet ng someone special on the event? If this is not a dating event, hindi ko maacchieve yun.

A: Baka kayo pa mapagod sa kakaikot at kakausap sa mga participants dun. There are task-based activities that will allow you to approach people, ask questions, share thoughts about topics, and maybe exchange socials if consensual.

Q: Lahat po ba ng magjojoin ay single?

A: No. It's a mix of people who just want to meet new friends (40%), people who want to meet new friends and are open to meeting potential partners (56%), and 4% are intentional seekers. Hindi kami nanghingi ng ID so we cannot validate the age and relationship status of the joiners. You can take your sweet time in getting to know the person before, you know, giving in. Matanda na tayo. Gamitin ang utak, wag lang puso.

Q: Ilang Titos and Titas ang magjojoin?

A: Based on the initial registration, 60% Titas and 40% Titos. Pero syempre, it will all depend on who will confirm their slots first. By experience, yung mga Tito ang mahirap/matagal magconfirm. Kung kelan last minute, saka magdDM ng "Can I still join?". Yung mga Titas pa ang mas buo ang loob.

Q: Pwede bang humabol?

A: Pwede naman but take note that the venue has limited seating capacity. Only paid participants and staff will be allowed to enter the room.

Q: Can we stay for KTV?

A: We booked the room for 4 hours to allow us 3 hours of program and 1 extra hour for KTV. Naisip ko rin magpa-KTV game. Dami kong pakulong naiisip, kulang ang isang araw haha.

Q: Yung hosts po ba kasama sa dating portion? Baka ma-upstage kami.

A: I will be hosting together with u/samr518 . Wag pong mag-alala. Hindi po kami makikipagkompetensya sa participants. Hahaha. Maharot lang kami sa sub pero hanggang doon lang. Taken na po kami...for granted. Charot!

--------------------------

Yun lang for now. More info to be shared soon. FAQs to follow, may event pa kasi ako this weekend on top of my regular job.

Thank you. (Pasensya na if may grammar lapses. Wala akong energy mag proofread 😅)

To those who confirmed their attendance, we have sent additional details including the QR code for payment.

To those who initially registered but have not replied to my email/messages, please check your inbox and confirm attendance on or before August 19. May six (6) titos/titas na tayo sa waitlist. Your slots will be given to them if we do not get a confirmation by the deadline.

To those waitlisted, please give us until August 19. We will allocate remaining slots to you. Priority to be given to people in their 40s and older (kasi nga po 40s sub po ito), pero if there are no other takers na, we’d be happy to offer the slots to under 40 na naka-waitlist.

Reminders:
- The joining fee is non-refundable and will be used to cover food, drinks, and venue rental for 4 hours.
- As much as possible, we plan to have an equal distribution of Tito and Tita participants. Ex. If a Tito backs out, we will try to replace with a waitlisted Tito.

More information to be shared soon. We’re drafting the FAQs, teasers, and event posters 🫶

Happy rainy Monday! Stay safe and dry, and happy!

Weather Report: Grey Skies, Wet Eyes

There’s just something about this weather that makes me feel so down and recent events just make it worse. Suddenly, I want to watch a sad movie and cry. I want to read about heartbreaks and moving on, then I found this on my IG feed.

Tama naman. You learn on the streets, and if these places could talk, nasermonan na tayo.

Which one resonates with you the most?

This is a theater production pala by Teatro Kapamilya. I am not affiliated. Baka lang naghahanap kayo ng date ideas and you’re into performing arts.

TMT40s Meet-up Status Update

Hi Titos and Titas,

It’s been raining for weeks. We hope everyone is safe and dry.

We’re still looking for a venue. Hindi lang makapag ocular survey dahil sa ulan. We will try this weekend.

Isa pa lang napupuntahan namin but it’s around QC. We’ll try to check some more spots this weekend if the weather permits.

Re: event fee - wala namang event fee pero to book a place that is needed to accommodate the number of participants and the type of event, we might need to pay a deposit or the full price to reserve the space. Initially, we thought of collecting around ₱500 each but after contacting the venues, baka around ₱800 each. We are also considering QC as an alternative location.

We will contact the registered participants individually to check if they’re still okay to join despite these changes. If they’re still down, we will ask for the advance payment. If not, we can give their slots to others and re-open the registration.

Heard the next few days/weeks will still be rainy. We’ll share updates as needed.

Thank you.

Reminder to our seekers/searchers

The mod team has removed posts from some people (and banned some accounts, too) who we think do not share the values of this subreddit.

While it is advertised as a platform to meet people and general rules are published as guide, there are some factors we consider when approving posts.

Ex.

  1. We disapprove posts from members who may seem harmless at first, but upon further checking, we find out that they frequent NSFW subs that don’t align with the values and purpose of our subreddit (ex. Mga tambay sa swingers sub, alasjuicy sub, phgonewild, etc and explicitly looking for FUBUs, Uni/bull, swingers, etc). If you know these subs, you know what I mean.

Mods have access to hidden nsfw posts so even if they pretend to be looking for genuine connections but their previous posts say otherwise, we delete/ban. Those who send unsolicited/indecent proposals either by (but not limited to) posts, comments, DMs, and other forms, will also be banned.

Hindi kami KJ. We know we’re adults and should be mature enough to handle such people but as mods, we just want to protect the Titas and Titos of this sub. May ibang subs para sa tawag ng laman. Pwede po kayo dun tumambay at maghanap. Wag dito, please.

Bawal ang buwitre dito.

Let’s talk about your Ex!

Plug ko lang ang isang katuwaan na nauwi sa bagong sub.

Disclaimer:

This is not a breakaway group. Kami kami lang din ito.
Since this sub is for meeting potential partners, we thought of creating a space where you can share about your exes naman.

Warning:
Hindi ito pwede sa mga taong ayaw ng drama sa buhay.
Para ito sa mga emo, yearners, heartbroken, and the like.

r/MyExPH

See you there!

Sweet nothings or nothing at all?

I was out with some Titos and Titas last night. Over coffee, we chatted about the topic of sweet nothings and found ourselves arguing about talking stages and whether we should or should not say “Good morning/night”, “Kumain ka na ba?”, “Nakauwi ka na ba?”, etc.”

To some, these are just basic courtesies we used in chat conversations with people whom we’re not interested in. But for some, these words mean more. While not explicitly stated, these words may be misconstrued as the speaker being interested in the other party.

Kasi di ba? Hindi naman lahat ng kachat natin ginugood morning/night natin? Do you report to others kung paalis ka na or nakauwi ka na?, or kung ano OOTD mo? Do you ask kung nagbfast, lunch or dinner na sila, if they arrived home safe, kung naulanan ba sila, or nakainom na ng gamot if may sakit? For some women, nakakahulog kasi ng loob ito. Or sadyang marupok lang kami? 😜

Just today, a brave Tita confessed her feelings to a certain Tito but was rejected. All this time, she thought the guy was being sweet with her and fell for him. Apparently, this Tito was just being nice, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Sadly, there’s one lonely girl tonight.

Don’t be too nice, I might like you.
Don’t be too sweet, I might fall.
It’s hard for me to love you,
If you won’t love me after all.

Reminders to all Titos and Titas

Hi Titos and Titas,

I hope you are all well and safe this rainy week.

Reminders lang po to read our community guidelines. While we have moderators and concerned members who report violations, we may not be able to moderate every post and comments so we hope we will all be vigilant of the people we interact with on this subreddit and all other subs on Reddit.

We won’t be able to validate the identities and claims of all those who post. As adults, we hope we are able to discern the true intentions of people in this community, recognize the red flags, and stay away from people who exploit our vulnerabilities.

Let’s help each other in checking fake identities and exploitive agenda. You can message me/us if you want to know how or what to do in the initial stages of your ship-search (friendship, companionship, situationship, or relationship).

We do not promote infidelity and we do not promote hookups. If yun ang purpose niyo, wag na idamay ang mga inosente (katulad ko, charot).

Love,
Tito and Tita mods (wholesome yan, wag bigyan ng meaning)
😂

To get the demographics of the participants while still maintaining anonymity, please register here. This serves as the official registration form for the event. If you answered the poll, please register so we can officially count you in and give you instructions before the event.

TMT40s Meet-up Registration

—————————————

So ito na. Sa mga nagtatanong kung kelan ang speed dating event.

We plan to hold an event by the end of this month (Tentative: August 29, Saturday). It was initially intended to be a dating event but we realized it would be better to hold a TMT40s eyeball, similar to the Kwarentahin GEB, but focus on structured interaction and intentional engagement. (Naks, hindi ako content writer and hindi ako nag-a-AI sa posts ko so wag niyo ako i-bash sa English ko ha?) 😅

So what’s the plan?

- We’ll hold a meet-up somewhere in the middle, like Makati or Mandaluyong.
- Limit the participants (~20 pax)
- Prepare a 2 to 3-hr program, from icebreakers to culminating activity
- The program has 3 to 4 parts where attendees can interact with other attendees
- End the event achieving our goal

The goal is NOT to have a date by the end of the event, although there is a dating game as part of the program where intentional daters may volunteer to participate).

Our goal is to provide an avenue to meet fellow Titos and Titas, know them on a more personal level, and if lucky, meet people who are intentional in taking the “established connection” to the next level. This may not necessarily be a relationship, but something that may blossom into that, if the universe permits.

So who may join?
- Titos and Titas in their 40s (and above, pwede ring below 😂)
- Intentional in meeting people (friendship or something more)
- Willing to attend the event around Makati or Mandaluyong 6pm onwards
- Single, Divorced/Separated (hindi kami manghihingi ng CENOMAR)
- Pwede rin ang mga in a relationship as long as your goal is to meet friends lang (we do not promote infidelity)
- Willing to shell out a small amount to cover food costs in case the venue requires a minimum usage fee (around ₱500 siguro, walang pilitan) but we’ll try to look for a place similar to Tittos na walang minimum bill requirement and free use of the place, depends on how many people are joining.

We would like to know how many are interested in joining so we can book a place. Please take the time to answer the poll and the registration form.

Tiffany and The Jets

I remember singing their songs like “All This Time” and “You Got It All”. I watched Debbie Gibson’s concert 2 years ago. I sang the entire show. Everyone around me was a Tito and a Tita. 🤭 Ang saya lang.

If may ka-date na kayo or looking for ka-date, magandang date night ito. 🤭 or if you are looking for a Valentines gift for your SO or wifey, I think they’ll like this.

Kung may budget lang tayo, sana may pafree tickets yung magmamatch sa dating game natin.

Kaso wala.

May Air Supply concert din this November. Baka gusto niyo rin manood. Pang 13th month pay celebration naman yun 😂

Venue: The Studio Dance Club, Greenbelt 3

What to expect: Think modern Zumba, but with throwback playlists. Friday night is 90s-Y2K throwback party.

The studio is fully air-conditioned and offers an in-house menu of food and drinks. The vibe is all-inclusive with guests in their 20s to their 50s.

Budget: Entrance fee is ₱750 (plus ~10% S.C) consumable naman pero kahit di ka umorder, ₱750 pa rin 😅 Advanced payment is required to book a table. Yung 750 mo can buy a drink and a meal na. Cocktails are around 300-400, snacks would be around 200-500 depends on what you order.

Who can join:
Open to all beginner, intermediate, or advanced level dancers (We dance, but we don’t judge!)
- kahit sinong magaling or marunong sumayaw
- mga hindi magaling sumayaw
- mga gusto matutong sumayaw
- mga parehong kaliwa ang paa, gusto lang uminom-kumain-habang nanonood ng mga sumasayaw, nag-eenjoy makinig sa 90s-Y2K dance hits
- curious Tito/Tita na gusto lang nakaexperience nito
- mga gustong magpapawis
- 40s Titos and Titas (and anyone who can jive with us)

Bakit may ganito:
We did this the first time in May and we had fun so we want to do it again! This time, we’ll have a foodie meet muna for dinner before heading to the studio/club.

May minimum headcount ba?
Wala po. Kahit 3 lang magsign up itutuloy namin. Ganun po kami kaexcited sumayaw.

Dresscode:
Female - No slippers, No jersey
Male - No slippers, No jersey, No sando, No shorts

Odyssey Movie Night

***Movie na may PLUS ONE(S)

Posting here in case anyone is interested. I’m in the same Movie Night GC with grapejuicecheese (the Tito who posted about Spiderman movie night).

We’re also thinking of seeing Odyssey. Thinking pa lang pero wala pa definite schedule because you know, we’re all busy. 🤭

Lemme know if anyone’s interested so we can add you sa GC. Or if ayaw mo maging part ng GC, DM na lang. I understand na it may be difficult to find a common free time due to our very busy schedules. If hindi talaga kaya, we can take a pass sa Odyssey and just meet on the 8th for Spiderman 🙂.

Or if kahit isa lang ang available, G naman. If a tito/tita can find another tito/tita to see the movie with, G lang din. Kahit kanya-kanyang gala na lang- Ok lang din. Just dropping it here in case may hindi pa nakakanood ng film and nahihiyang maghanap. This is your chance. Drop your thoughts below.

Edited:
Locked in na yung schedule
-July 26 (Sun) Gateway - 5pm/6pm show

3 pax confirmed as of now, puro kami girls. ☺️

Disclaimer:
Not looking for a date and hindi ako date-material.
I’m a wingman/woman type.
May kikay-mode, may tomboy-mode.
I’ve joined 6 official 40s sub meetups and a few personal ones with another redditor (buhay pa naman siya).

Married Titas, how are you?

Dahil may nangumusta sa mga married men, kumustahin din natin ang mga married women. Para fair. 😅

Baka kasi magtampo. (If wala pang ganitong thread)

So kumusta ang married life, on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the highest. Hindi kelqngan i-justify pero feel free if comfortable kayo.

May crush ba kayo dito sa sub?

May seryosong tanong ako, pero wag niyo akong ibash. ✌️

Bilang nakakakilig yung recently nagshare ng lovestory dito.

May naccrushan ba kayo dito sa sub?

Naexperience niyo ba yung may nabasa kayong post or comment from someone tapos nasip niyo, parang okay ito.

Then you find yourself lurking in the same thread with that user and anticipating posts/comments from that user tapos excited kayong sumagot at mag-engage.

I know it’s weird since hindi magkakakilala, hindi nagkakakitaan, and what we see here may not be true at all in real life. But I think it’s possible. What do you think?

Note:

Idedelete ko rin ito pag walang gustong sumagot. 😂

Edit:

Hindi daw possible ang magkacrush dito. How about “Have you grown fond of someone despite anonymity”?

Also, hindi ko sinasabing may crush ako. Nagtatanong lang po.

May nagdodownvote. Wag daw tayo masyado maharot 🤣* *
