Title: Meetup.com
Post by: dreamyxo on January 22, 2016, 08:52:29 pm

Anyone here go to any meetups?  I've gone to a few but it's hard to with my work schedule.  When I feel like I'm in a rut and want to get out more I search through to see if any new groups are started or of the groups I'm in have any.  I even thought of starting my own.

It sounds interesting, but I'm skeptical. Is it a dating site?

hmmmm I tried a different one.  It seems all the same men register on every site.

I have been to a lot of them, but haven't had any positive results. It seems like most are just people who think they can get some new business (just like I did) but it ends up being a pitch by the people who put them on. Think of it as a LIVE Webinar.

I never heard of these sites like this. What are they all about? It sounds like it is between a dating site and a way to scam people.

It's not a dating site but there are some groups that are about meeting people to date.  You can find a group for whatever you are interested in.

Not at all, it's a way for business people to connect LIVE and talk about business without anyone crying scam (like they do online). You should take a look at their website before you talk down about it to much.
