Anyone here go to any meetups?  I've gone to a few but it's hard to with my work schedule.  When I feel like I'm in a rut and want to get out more I search through to see if any new groups are started or of the groups I'm in have any.  I even thought of starting my own.

It sounds interesting, but I'm skeptical. Is it a dating site?

I have been to a lot of them, but haven't had any positive results. It seems like most are just people who think they can get some new business (just like I did) but it ends up being a pitch by the people who put them on. Think of it as a LIVE Webinar.

I never heard of these sites like this. What are they all about? It sounds like it is between a dating site and a way to scam people.

It's not a dating site but there are some groups that are about meeting people to date.  You can find a group for whatever you are interested in.

Not at all, it's a way for business people to connect LIVE and talk about business without anyone crying scam (like they do online). You should take a look at their website before you talk down about it to much.

I never have heard of the site.
I'm curious to check it out, seems like it could be an interesting avenue to explore.

Ooh, that sounds like fun then. I'll definitely have to check it out. Thanks.
