Anyone know how to work the Meetup.com social network?
12-07-2012, 09:17 AM
Being that I am new to Tampa Bay, I don't know anyone and my social life is pretty shitty.
I have been doing some meet ups and had a little success, but certainly not the outcome I am seeking (growing my professional network, meeting hot women, etc).
I was wondering if any of you experienced social aficionados took it to the next level using meetup.com?
Tips, advice, stories, etc, I'm looking for it all.
Thanks in advance.

kinda washed up 28 year olds are aplenty. I did meet a hot gf about that age that I had for a while. this is the site they go to when they don't want to to online dating yet but rather just do activities and hope to meet a guy with similar interests. I would go to 1) rock climbing 2) hiking 3) dancing lessons 4) yoga from private teachers practicing without a gym affiliation. Rock climbing is easily the best
Or you could run a pub crawl on tuesdays and advertise it on there and on couchsurfing

Curious what you mean by "a little success?" I recently moved to a new city as well, and have been thinking that it wouldn't hurt to have more male friends. Because as I've found out, it's easier to get laid than it is to make a decent friend in a new city.
What kind of people show up to these Meetup things?

I went to a few single parents meet ups through meetup.com. Met a few cute girls.
Didn't lead to anything.
There are a lot of "Singles" groups on there that do Singles Nights at bars around the
city or wherever.

In my opinion Meetup is a tool for you to discover places in your new city and also enjoy some of your hobbies and pastimes. Use it to get out of the house and check out things in Tampa. I would manage your expectations and don't expect it to be a buffet of hot girls for you too hit on. Personally, I have made friends from joining running clubs in LA, Miami, and DC. Once you have your own life more developed and well rounded in Tampa you should start to see an increase in your game performance.

I'd go to any sort of professional/networking meetup in your area. Why not? Lot of these functions are held in prominent restaurants or bars in any given certain area so it'll also be a good excuse to naturally drift into other traffic & women within your vicinity once the networking event gets stale.
