Anyone use meetup.com

I would like to go for this hike in the woods at 10 AM but I have an appointment at a job agency to help me get a job. I try to find things to go to on this site but 1/2 the events are revolved around alcohol and if I drink 1 beer I just fall asleep…so no. Another 1/3 is meditation and I hate meditating. The rest of the events are just weird. Anyone ever find anything good on this site??? I wish people in my area could invent better meetup things…like an E-cig vaping club. But no people aren’t cool :sunglasses: enough here…

I just had a look. There’s quite a lot of interesting meetups in my area near my secret location.

Apparently my secret mountain lair is filled with kayaking Buddhists. This does not come entirely as a surprise to me.

You should whittle while we kayak and I respond to your stories with serenity. What could be better?

Does whittle mean to carve wood with a knife? Or am I thinking of something else.

You are correct!

I’ve just been looking at meetups in my area too…

I think it would suit me better meeting new people that way, rather than dating websites.

I used it for volleyball. I was the only smoker and felt ostresized. I also learned that if ur not at least intermidiate level u will ruin game for people who r.

It’s funny trying to picture a bunch of monks kayaking

Lots of different things here like hiking, networking, moms day museum trip, paintball, gardening how-to. I might try one of these with my bf one day. I wish Nami did a pizza party meetup once in a while or something too…

I join meetups and think about going, but I’ve yet to have the nerve to actually attend one yet.

I have to be in a very specific mood to be able to socialize with a group of people. Usually too depressed and tired. But I went to a meetup group about 4 years ago and met a horribly abusive person. Maybe next time will be better.

I never heard of it until now. As long as my girlfriend and I can go together then maybe.

I joined meetup before I was MI (2 years ago) and was all set to go to these entrepreneur groups, website building, fitness singles etc. That’s all off the table now since I am crazy, am not an entrepreneur, am not fit and have very little motivation

I joined again and keep thinking about going to some for writing, meditation (I know!, lol) and Atheist meetups. I have them all written down and they email me reminders, I just haven’t gone. Part of it is that I am crazy and worried about that. Also it costs a little money and even more if they meet at a restaurant or something.

All in all, I think it’s a great idea.
