Meet-up events; a disappointment

[mattyman]

Hate to add to the already excessive negativity. Just want to vent in an environemnt which I hope will come form a point of understanding. There's a pub quiz I've been going to regularly that's advertised through a meet-up.

First reason why it's rubbish, demographics; mostly people old enough to be my parents, it's depressing, I want to meet girls my age (I'm 30 exactly) not one's old enough to be my mum.

Apart from the demographic, the next criticism is about the dynamic and choice of event. A pub quiz it's a situation that's conducive to conversation (like being in a school assembly tbh). All very well for giving something for people to break the ice over, but if people bugger off as soon as the event is over, that defeats the whole f***ing purpose of a meetup event. Maybe something like a quiz night is popular because people don't have to talk to new people and make conversation, that's understandable. There's a difference between not having to, and not being able to. I personally found this event DEAD BORING. If I was to use a quiz night as an event to get a load of new people together, I'd make sure that people stick around afterwards for a pint, or choose a night where people might not be worried so much about getting to bed to be up for work the next day, Maybe it'd be better in a country that's not so 'work-first' (that cannot withstand criticism of it's ethic).

I want to meet pretty, non-rough, interesting women in their 20's and 30's, I want to at least mix socially with women like that, that'd be a welcome imporvement. I want to have those sorts of conversations where you lose track of the time. I want access to opportunities that will open doors for that. I'm missing all that. I look at groups around me of other people in their 20's and thirties, mixed sex groups and wish I had that sort of circle. They do exist, but this social environment does a fantistically well-engineered job of preventing the gaining of access. If only the level of creativity put into ensuring folks don't meet are kept apart went into say, exploring the planets, or nuclear marine propulsion rather than ensuring oppressive loneliness, what could be achieved? Less drinking on my part, that's for sure.

I have gone to some Meet Up events in the past and was also disappointed. It was mostly men and the few women there were overweight, unattractive and in their 50's. WTF?

I remember going to a depressing Singles Night about twenty years ago with a friend. He was looking for someone but I wasn't as I was in a relationship. There were about three guys and one oldish woman. We didn't stay long lol.

Some of the dating sites do meet-ups based on a hobby - such as cooking or bowling for example. This is only useful if you're looking for a woman in your own country though.

Its obvious...because, most of the white girls are doing porn or are a cat slave for hugh hefner empire.

Its really really a serious problem.

If you take 100 beautiful women from the society. It messes up the equation.

We know already that....not all women are hot...but in natural order, every town will have some hot women for men to keep their hopes alive. MeetUps should ideally have some hot women around, which would keep the interest of men to come back again...We all live on hope and if time is right...may be we could even get hooked up with that hot women.

-------------------

5% of elites have made sure, all HOT women are in their PayRoll. Its f**cked up really...There is no hope for an average guy to ever get a hot women in America, but in India, there is..I see many of my friends, getting married to hot looking women.

----------------------

I don't know what white people are waiting for....Its really time for revolution and f*ck the Jews again..this time for good.

They have completed destroyed white culture.

Its sad that, men cannot even see a hot women all day walking in cities anymore

if you were a hot woman would you go to something like this? put yourself in their shoes and the answer is pretty easy
