r/meetup

From regular meet up to we started meeting people based on Height, seen tall, short and medium meetup invites/plans...not sure whats ahead in groupism

Somethings I wonder might come up in near future

Clean shaven meetup

Beard guys meetup with variation of long, short and thin

Long hair meetup

Short hair meetup

Bald men meetup

Specs people meetup

People with braces meetup

Right hand ppl meetup

Left hand ppl meetup

Beer belly meetup

Six abs meetup

On a lighter note, variation is key for meetup not identical

I (28f) am new to the area and am looking to make friends with other women around 25-35. Are there any popular events specific to women or meet ups in the area?

I’m 31F and happily married and feeling extremely chatty tonight; I’m not looking for any hook ups or anything like that just somebody to chat with while I work late nights.

Is there another place to find social events or groups besides meetup? I am assuming due to the fee and rate hikes proposed by meetup, less and less people are attending events and the high no show rate in my area is ridiculous. I set up a walk in my area and out of 51 people who registered, only 15 showed up. It makes attendance very confusing.

I am looking for an alternative, I feel like Meetup is currently digging its own grave and that is due to its payments and outlandish policies now. No one wants to pay the exorbitant fees, so they are not signing up for events anymore. I briefly looked into Heylo, but all that is mainly on there (at least in my area) is running groups, and my events have not gotten much attention or traction when I put them on Facebook.

Even non organizers still need to pay for a subscription there now to view events and even sign up in some cases.

Had my appraisal at work, was already stressed… and boom, got dumped the same day. Like damn, could’ve at least let me enjoy one thing 😭

Now I’m just confused, a little sad, a little numb… and also laughing at how absurd the timing was. Brain keeps replaying everything, but also kinda tired of overthinking.

Anyway… if life really said “new chapter,” I guess I’m (reluctantly) accepting applications again 💀

How do you even move on from something like this without losing your mind?

Is there a call centre number to call and cry?😭
