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 stunning 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 APT Diso (2nd floor Cane and Grain) 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.
