The irony of it all is that it seems most of the women who think I'm cute are either from Canada or the UK when it comes to WP if Iwere to visit the UK and offer hugs I wonder what would happen? :chin:

Well I'd make sure the person wanted the hug or didn't have a partner in tow or you could easily end up in hospital!

A lot of people in the UK can be exceedingly violent these days!

So in otherwords its like here at home.Maybe after a few pints can remedy that.

The chances of violence seem to go up not down when alcohol is added to the mix

I thought California was the home of the hippy, love & peace etc?

I'm a 44 year old woman in Scotland, but not too fond of hugs.

Oh I thought you were a friendly sociable outgoing type person - that is the persona you are projecting plus you said you wanted to meet people - another outgoing feature

I saw two people on that thread I sent asking about a Manchester meetup

If you organise a meetup you get to choose the venue and what you do

You sound easy going enough to be a good host too

I really appreciate your compliment but unfortunately I am an extreme introvert.

Would be nice to check out, so I thank you in advance for showing me that thread!

True, but with my lack of direction with meet ups, it'd probably end up horribly, lol.

I can be easy going, but not a great host.

Oh well

Perhaps you could assist someone else to organise a meetup then or a group of people could
all take equal parts in setting one up?

Meetups seem to be more common down in London from the looks of things

Meetups are quite good if you happen to go to the same one rather frequently.

Most meetups need people, if you become a regular you´ll have a chance to interact with most members on a personal level.

Last week for example I was at a meetup and we ended up joking about a female there acting as a personal shopper(she has a fashion blog, a few rinks had been had before the idea came to life).
She didnt know either of the males there, however we had the ok from the girls and she agreed and said that we should contact her if we needed some help.

Yesterday I was invited to my first christmas dinner ever. I always assumed this was about being succesfull/socializing at work/uni ... all I had to do to get an invite was go to the same group regularly, people there have organised their own.

I havent met a partner through meetup but ive forced myself out there and ended up doing plenty of things i wouldnt do/getting comfortable talking to the opposite sex. A partner came shortly afterwards because I was comfortable enough joking around females and I no longer felt awkward talking to them

Another UK woman here.

[although I'd hope not in the UK forever]

Not when you go to L.A. or Oakland.

I usually go to meetups to make friends. It hardly ever happens, so I can't usually be bothered with them. Would be nice to see my old friend Kathleen though. She organised great meetups, and I always found them easy going.

She had a baby in the summer, so that might be why she hasn't been in contact (if she hasn't). I did text her, but I wasn't sure who was going to get back in contact. She has my new number now, anyway.

It does seem like more effort than it's worth. Whats the point if you just end up being snubbed?
