Container events seem to be one of the biggest challenges guys here have. Some don’t quite grasp the concept of a container event, and others just have a hard time finding or crafting one that works well. In the spirit of helping out, here’s a simple checklist to stick to whenever trying to find a venue or activity for your container event.
The Three C’s Model:
- Close: Ensure that the venue is as close as possible to those who will be attending. In large cities where people are spread out all over the place this might be a bit more challenging to accomplish, but think of downtown or central areas that are either close or easily accessible to most people. Do not overlook this step. I can’t tell you how many girls have explicitly told me they’re not coming to the thing I invited them to because it’s too far.
- Cheap: Contrary to what many guys here believe, your container event doesn’t have to be a splurge. In fact, it’s better if it’s not. You don’t need to be going to fine-dining restaurants where each individual bill is going to go into the three digits. However, you also don’t want to swing in the opposite direction and go to the cheapest place you can find. Happy Hour at Fridays is not going to excite most attractive women. Think in terms of affordable. Something that is neither too expensive but not too cheap. A nice middle ground that most people would be able to afford to spend on a social thing every now and then. This is obviously going to vary across cities, so find what is considered reasonable and affordable in yours.
- Cunty: This is the most important of all three elements. The place or activity you choose must be cunty. By that, we mean trendy, upscale, popular, Instagrammable. It must be the kind of place or activity that girls are excited to take their phones out and take photos and videos of. Something about it needs to be catchy, fancy, unique or memorable for it to generate the excitement you want for your event to be a success. It helps to think of it in terms of an experience as opposed to an event.
To give you guys an example of a place in my city that checks all these three boxes, have a look at these reels:
The place is called Carajillo, it’s one of the trendiest restaurants in Mexico City where I live. It’s one of my favourite places for a container group dinner. Here’s why:
- It’s located in a central area of the city, right in the middle of the most upscale neighbourhood in Mexico City. Just by its location people immediately know it’s going to be good because of the reputation the area has for having some of the best spots in the city.
- The restaurant is perfectly affordable. It’s of course a bit higher than what you would pay at a regular restaurant, but it’s totally affordable to most people who I invite. The way I know that is because I’ve done dinners at the super expensive restaurants and even though people do come, I notice that all that people order are drinks, desserts and appetizers because the main dishes are crazy expensive. That doesn’t happen at this place. Everyone orders proper meals and drinks to their hearts’ content. I’d say an average check is about $30-$40 USD per person, depending on how much alcohol they ordered.
- The place is as cunty as it gets. If you saw the reels I posted, you’ll notice that the venue is extremely Instagrammable. The whole thing is decorated like a jungle, with neon lights everywhere, smoke, dancers, and live DJs, it’s a total vibe in there. Notice the food as well. It’s always a whole spectacle when the food is brought to your table. Sparklers, smoke, fire, and flashes are all in your face when your plate comes out. Girls can’t put their phones down the whole night because they want to capture it all. This is not just a dinner, it’s an experience.
Keep these elements in mind and try to make your container event include all of them to increase its appeal and chances of success. Good luck!
