Posted by Blue_FroggieThere is this meetup community and app for people in specific region of area (worldwide has each meetups) to meet up and do whatever the organizers and members like doing. Sometimes it's just a casual hang out, culinary adventure, open trips, workshops, yoga or meditation classes, even seminars there. You can check em out at meetup.comPosted by DepthAndDeathI didn't understand the thread.... What is it about?
Has anyone here used it?
If so, what are your experiences? And which group of interest are you flocking into?
Stories are welcome.
At some point within this semester, I know I have to go back out there. I'm too rotten now.

Posted by MrEmptyBackpackWhich would be amazing, really. So there's no escape. Pure challenge.
Smartphones were non-existent last time I attempted meat up .com

Tinder is super conservative in Asia and there is a friends groups option now

Posted by Blue_FroggieI've basically have been procrastinating and just hang out with same old peeps in my life. But i kinda wanna expand myself but I can be such an awkward, shy and reserved person so that's why. :/Posted by DepthAndDeathPosted by Blue_FroggieThere is this meetup community and app for people in specific region of area (worldwide has each meetups) to meet up and do whatever the organizers and members like doing.

That sounds like a great idea, Aneema! I think you should go.... This sounds like fun. I think we don't have it where I live or if we do I'm not aware of it. But I do see adverts on paper for adventure camps like trekking, cyclin, etc where strangers sharing similar interests meet up! Some of my guy friends are a part of Super bike groups, they travel around the state in their bikes ?other than that I have friends who are in yoga groups ? lol
Why are you thinking twice about this? Is it not safe for girls? Idk I'm asking. Please join the group and have fun!

It's a great idea that you wanna expand your circle....
Well I would say most people would be apprehensive about meeting new people...Mostly people who are shy and reserved that make better friendships, that are long lasting.
I think you must join a group and have fun. I don't see why anyone won't like you :-)

Posted by Gob_ShiteIs it? I do see that when it comes to those seminars, some sport and yoga activities.
Like most social groups, it's great for passing the time and (possibly) having some fun.
However, many join Meetup not to specifically meet people, but to either have things to boast about on social media or to perfect a skill / interest (for aspirational or egotistical reasons). Ultimately, the other participants are merely a convenience for the self-gratification of others.

Posted by MrEmptyBackpackLoL. Cant be bothered by 2 km radius!Posted by DepthAndDeathYeah at least herePosted by MrEmptyBackpackReally??

Ah I delete it anyways, why do i care.
Just wondering why doe
Too bad my 2km radius is 90% ladyboys coz I AM 2 km away from the red light district
Yeah like you can meet a group of friends now instead of a hookup

Posted by Gob_ShiteYeah, that makes sense. I mean. Definitely people can use it for networking to promote their products or personas.Posted by DepthAndDeathPosted by Gob_ShiteIs it? I do see that when it comes to those seminars, some sport and yoga activities.

But there are actually ones that seem to be pure socializing, like movie night, chill, etc.
So maybe take it grey area, I guess.
Yes, unless the group is to specifically socialise with strangers, my previous post sums up Meetup (but some will still use such groups to bolster their social media content).

Posted by MrEmptyBackpackThat sounds fancy!
I'll try and remember the air bnb dinner app but it is like you get to have dinner with a bunch of random people and you just select the hostess or host and bring wine.

Posted by Blue_FroggieAbout you, tho. I think it must be all good since you have met friends through the yoga group. Two stones for one throw (I dont know the phrase for that).

Posted by MrEmptyBackpackSo it's semi promotion for the restaurant ya..Posted by DepthAndDeathIt depends on the host of course but it's also a low key tax free restaurant when you think about itPosted by MrEmptyBackpackThat sounds fancy!

Posted by MrEmptyBackpackAhh i see! So just to keep things going for the restaurants ya. I mean which restaurants would risk their name if they're already on the brink of closing the business. I can see that.Posted by DepthAndDeathWell you pay the host and he/ she cooks and sets up the dinner so she can make a profit without being taxed as a business and they don't necessarily need to have a restaurantPosted by MrEmptyBackpackSo it's semi promotion for the restaurant ya..Posted by DepthAndDeathIt depends on the host of course but it's also a low key tax free restaurant when you think about itPosted by MrEmptyBackpackThat sounds fancy!

They could be failed restaurateurs lol or just someone who likes to cookclick to expand

I've gone to hiking meetups.
Walking in nature is so therapeutic
and I've met some cool people.
After a long day hiking (8-15 miles),
our group goes out to dinner.

Posted by UndineOmg so cool!!!
I'm grateful about Meetup, since it facilitates meeting new people and discovering new hobbies! There are many exciting opportunities in my town, wish I had more time.
I joined a local Philosophical Society group I found on Meetup almost two years ago. Been participating on their weekly meetings ever since.... the Existentialism starts next week 🙂!

Posted by Gemoodeye2Night hike! Sounds fascinating. How was it? Is it possibly dangerous tho because our sight can be limited?
I used Meetup last year when I wanted to do something to get myself out there other than a dating app..since most of my friends are married and busy, and I had some free time on days without kids after my divorce. I did a night hike and it was great! Wish I had done it more! Ended up spending the whole hike chatting with a woman who was just divorced after 30 years and making a new friend. It was nice to have the company and do something I enjoyed that I wouldn't have just gone alone to otherwise. I'm looking at doing more of it as well..there is a ballroom dance class/group I want to try next. 🙂

Nicee. You take up regularly ya? Coz usually they have regular schedules but Idk for hiking.
Hiking mountains aren't for me tbh. Can be very lazy and I don't want to whine along the way lol.
I think that's nice ya, real activity to form possible friendship bonds there 🙂
I'm selective with my hikes and prefer the ones that are near any body of water. 🙂
I usually go on a weekend.
Hat
sunscreen
lots of H2O
snacks and lunch
$ $ for dinner.

And also, do you like cycling?
Lol
I'm a weirdo...I mean I make friends wherever I go... It is so easy for me to just talk to anyone who wants to talk to me 😡
I love yoga.... It has helped me a lot.
I used to cycle three four years ago.... Not anymore. Are you trying to get into a cycling group? Sounds like fun! There will be less interaction but you may get some fresh morning air!
Most of my girl friends made friends in dance classes/work out classes...

Posted by DepthAndDeathSounds to me like a high % of creepbag happening if there's an app concerned. I have met many pleasant strangers via festivals though.

Think lakes and rivers, add them with splach of lush trees and breezy wind.. A bit of rain can intensify the ambiance
Desire! 😭
Here, I have to go outta town to get that view! So ugh.
I aint need hat. Lol even at the beach I would dare not to wear thorough sunscreen. That's too careless but just cant be bothered to waste anymore time to jump taste the ocean.
So get out of town! The hiking group meet at local place and then drive to their
hiking destination. Join and see what it's all about, you'll love it!

I bet lotsa peeps want to talk to you. So you must be busy. After all you're a gem, right? Always easy to talk to gem simply coz I dont need to talk much initially which is great for meh lol
Altho when it's too much, I would mind haha
So why arent you cycling no more?
Nono, cycling isnt for me. Nor jogging. Ima more inclined to volleyball, martial arts and surfin (even tho I'm still struggling there, always got a sense of about to die a.k.a drowning lol).
Which dance class?
Hahaha!
Seriously na.... I mean it's like someone stops me to say something and i would end up talking to them for an hour 😡 lol
Nothing like that, I used to be a very happy person so maybe because of that energy... Idk Newman
Lol@Gems are talkative huh? I do have my moody days. Don't know about other gems... I love it when others introduce me to something new...
I was becoming lean I thought? I didn't like it lol...Also I was finishing college and taking up a new course....
Martial arts and surfing sounds like fun!! I know about the fear of drowning lol....Idk to swim at all but hey I can float! Imagine being brought up in an island and doesn't know to swim! ?
Most of them took up Zumba lol it's fun actually...

Posted by Gemoodeye2Well always good thing when the guide is around when you have the night walks. Or at least someone who has experiences around the place ya. Can't be bothered to worry and not enjoying the trip fully, rightPosted by DepthAndDeathIt was very cool! Peaceful. It was on the night of a lunar eclipse! It was a big group and everyone had flashlights, the guides also knew the area well so no issues.Posted by Gemoodeye2Night hike! Sounds fascinating. How was it?

Me time is truly important. Also helps you to get out of yourself too after the harshness of life, I presume..
Yeas I see dance classes too. Unfortunately their schedules here in my area doesnt fit mine. Was gonna go for salsa. Idk anything about salsa tho. You've been ballroom dance before or is it gon be your first time?
Me time is important, but hard to do when you have been used to always being in a relationship. I'm trying to do better at it.
I did a couple Latin dance classes when I was married, for date nights and it was sooooo fun! I haven't done it since then but the Meetup group I want to do is for singles or couples so should be fun.
