Thursday | Queer Women Matchbox Valentine’s | Manchester

Just a bar, everyone single — with matching powered by Matchbox — and a night that’s all about meeting IRL.

Hello handsome queer single women of Manchester! 💘✨

This Valentine’s season, whether you love the day or roll your eyes at it, we’re turning it into something actually worth celebrating.

We’re taking over Little Orange Door for a night of great drinks, good vibes, and discovering who your most compatible match in the room might be.

❤️‍🔥 MATCHING POWERED BY MATCHBOX

Matching will be powered by Matchbox. It’s a software that uses relationship science to find you your most compatible match at the party. The algorithm has matched more than half a million people to date, across 40 countries.

The algorithm optimises for long-term compatibility, based on values—but it’s up to you to see if you click.

🧠 HOW IT WORKS

1. Upon arrival, you’ll take a short matching questionnaire built by Matchbox’s research team and curated by your host.

2. The Matchbox algorithm uses relationship science, AI, and Nobel Prize-winning behavioural economics to identify your optimal match in the room.

3. After mingling with the whole group, a series of clues brings you closer.

4. Matches are revealed later in the night.

👀 WHAT TO EXPECT

– You’ll meet a great group of singles.

– Your match is designed to be values-aligned, not love-at-first-sight.

– There’s zero pressure — be curious, have fun, and be kind.

– If there is an imbalance, you may receive a platonic match.
