    Default Meetup.com

    Has anyone here used it? Any success? Any failures?

    If you were to join, what kind of group would you look for?

    I think most people are content with EoFF for their match up needs. That, and I'm already taken. Not to mention, I don't know how I feel about the idea of on-line dating.

    I've never used it, but it has been recommended since I have been wanting to join a boardgame meeting for some time. The options available to me aren't that appealing though, so I might have to pass.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    It's an easy enough mistake to make about meetup.com. I've joined groups but never gone through with meeting people.

    Oh wait, it's more of a friendly 'meet others like you!' type deal? My bad!

    Seeing how I am stupid enough to mistake it for a dating site, I obviously haven't used or even heard of it before. Having said that, it seems nice enough.

    My sister's girlfriend wanted to sign us up for it back when I was living w them after I got back from Phoenix.

    Cuz she mostly wanted me out of the house more, and used her social anxiety issues as a front to try and get me to join with her.

    We didn't do it though.

    I was in a couple different groups in San Diego. It was cool meeting up and just hanging out with people talking about whatever the group was about. I was in a photography group and a ocean swim group.

    I don't generally have trouble meeting people with similar interests but I guess if I found a niche thing I wanted to partake in then I wouldn't pass it up as an option.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    I've looked at it before but most of the ones in my area are all holistic medicine, reiki master, tarot reader groups that I don't have much of an interest in. There is a movie group I've thought about joining because they just go see everything but the age range is weird. It's mostly older people, I think.

    There's also a board game group but it seems like a lot of people who know each other really well.

    There's a beginners hiking group but they always want to go out to eat first and I am like "I CAN'T EAT WITH YOU YET I DON"T KNOW YOU."

    Then there are the gay and lesbian groups that don't want me because I'm not gay or lesbian.

    And finally there's the "professional singles" group that has over a thousand members but only 20 of them hang out and they go to bars twice a week and are all beautiful and no.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    I had fun with Meetup. I go to some of the local boardgame ones, and the people are pretty friendly.

    Starting on my left with one, your number comes up, you go.

    I once went to a potluck group I'd found there, it was alright. Then I moved to a bigger city and had better luck meeting people organically.

    I spend enough time around other humans as it is.
