This is the way it is for me.

There are some posters who think I'm missing something because I neither want nor get sex. Well, that's fine with me... if they're happy with the mentality of a teenage caveman, they're welcome to it.

 

There are some posters who can't think beyond the bar scene; this is a problem with a lot of Meetup group organizers too. It's why I have an edge on them, because I know there are plenty of other venues for people to meet each other besides bars and nightclubs. If some people don't want to be bothered going to anything but, it's no sweat off my brow.

 

Then there are some posters who try to do the public-ridicule thing on me (and you know who you are) because I don't necessarily like what I'm supposed to like. Well, AFAIC those people can have their cake and eat it 'til they puke---just don't do the online equivalent of writing my number in a bathroom stall, because it won't work.

 

The truth is, unless you're going to show up in person to meetups and try to act like a real-life troll, making fun of me on LS and trying to direct negative attention toward me on LS isn't going to accomplish a damn thing. Deal with it.

 

I've found my path to happiness... do you really want to bust your butt just to wreck it for me???

just wondering, what other venues do you know of? Like, mind if I get a list for future reference?

 

btw good for you, bud. Don't let those jerks take away your happiness!

No prob. Parks, community centers, even churches, if they're not too holy-roller. The not-so-secret keys I found are 1. serving alcohol is going to add a ton of liability to your venues, and 2. have a theme like a potluck, costume party, etc, instead of dumb little games.

I will say one thing about being happy... once you're there, you'll know how damned hard it is for anyone to knock you off of it.

 

It amuses me how these OLDSs act so confident about their "secret matching formulas"... if they really work, why aren't more people leaving meetups and going to OLD? (that really deserves a thread of its own.) My only "secret" is to look for groups of people who have common interests, and if there is no group, start one.
