Hi SF Bowl folks! 👋🏼

I hosted meetups in NYC when I lived there, and I’m wondering if anyone here would like to go to an SF Meetup if I hosted one?

I just moved to SF in April and I’m in need of socialization… and friends! It would be lovely to meet some SF bowlers.

Let me know your thoughts! 🫡

Say more about the meetup. Why would someone go to a newly established meetup vs one that has been around a while and has a big membership? Are you targeting a specific niche?

Which membership is that?

I’m interested but agreed with the others works better if you have a specific theme/agenda (e.g., urban hikes).

Welcome to SF. In my experience SF veers toward introverted thinkers. So a lot of online activity. People are very ghost-y, might RSVP but won't show up. Nothing personal, just a personality thing. Of course, can't generalize accurately, just giving my overall impression. Might just be me.
Your best bet is to narrow down your interests and commit. Post the link, if it starts out on Zoom and folks vibe I would commit to a meet up IRL. I am meeting up with fellow lone wolf INFJs Sunday for board gsmes in the Presidio. With 8 RSVPs I fully expect at least 2 other people to show up.
┐(-。ー;)┌
Be specific and persevere. Good luck!

I disagree. There are plenty of people in SF who want to socialize in person. I'd hard pass on anything that starts with a zoom meeting.

She kind of got offended but we ended on a good note to split things. It went well for a couple weeks but now it's back to normal. She never takes out her card and only venmos me if I send her the request. She lets Venmos sit for weeks before paying them. I still let a lot of things slide.

How do you keep up with the same level of activity with kids (running, cycling , hiking) while staying cool?
