I went to a few meetup yoga and workout events and it seemed like you definitely could. I was just not consistent about following up with people after. My friend has made friends from a running club that’s not meetup but similar vibe
It’s legit but a lot of the people on there are weird af.
Can definitely see that lol
No and I feel like most people who recommend it for friendship/dating haven't actually used Meetup.
Probably depends greatly on the people/group, but it's a good way to attend events someone else is organizing. There's a lot more legwork needed to translate any one-off meeting into an acquaintanceship, let alone a friendship.
Yeah, but outside of a few types of activities like team sports or D&D type games that reoccur with the same people, it just isn't as likely to run into someone repeatedly (aside from the organizers) in the NYC groups.
So still having to put in effort makes sense, but you basically have to latch on to any prospect and follow up separately, rather than trying to build up relationships at the actual meetups.

FB - I tried DM you but did not get a response

Yes! But you need to go several times because you never know when people do you like might be there

No, the people I've met on meetup have been extremely quiet and socially awkward. I'm down to hangout though if you're not quiet/socially awkward 😄

I’ve done it! Had both good and bad experiences. It’s sort of like dating haha. Some people are cool and some are weird. I think it’s worth trying out though.
