Friendship Woes: Its time for new Friends

San Francisco, CA

Hello Seekers:

Do you feel like you are outgrowing your friendship(s) and that she/he just don't get it, or won't receive or accept the evolved you?

Are you seeing friendships that can support your growth and the person you are becoming?

Do you want friendships that are meaningful, and that you can count on?

If the answer to any of the questions above is "YES" , then you have arrived at the right place. Friendships are tough and complicated. It is horrible when you are coming to the realization that your friendship(s) is reaching its end. Trying to hold on to precious memories, and all the possibilities of what can be if you could only get your friend(s) to SEE you for the person you are now. The problem is often times its a vicious circle to no avail-like a dog chasing after its own tail.

The purpose of this group is to meet new friends. A place to establish friendships built to last. We will meet via zoom to discuss the fall outs, frustrations, and pains of friendships. We will also have fun and hopefully create a group where we will be able to be there for one another. We will go out to eat, drink, dance and travel. We will and can become, the modern version of the TV show "Friends".

Everyone is welcomed. Join us! There are no judgements here!

Physics With Friends

San Francisco, CA

This is a group for anyone who has ever **rigorously studied physics – or has wanted to**. Here's why you'd want to join us: * If you feel like physics is the **most interesting** and **most difficult** subject that there is; * If you're burning with a desire to **deeply understand the universe** at its smallest and largest scales; * And if you thrive in an environment of **learning through collaboration** with people like yourself... ...then you've found the right place! Join us to participate in lively discussions and learn core material in serious study groups. We offer multiple tracks of study, regularly host special events and talks, and are constantly tweaking the meetup to make it more useful. We also stay in touch between meetings to motivate and help each other continue learning. **Everyone is welcome from every level of experience!** Many of us are (re)discovering physics after college (sometimes long after) and it can be easy to feel rusty or underqualified. Don't fall into that false narrative! If you think some of the material in this meetup is too advanced, we want you to join us so that we can help you learn!

Travel Meetup Friends

San Francisco, CA

This group is for travelers who don’t want to wait on their friends to finally say “yes” to travel. Life is too short and the world is too big! The trips in this group are usually 90% solo travelers but everyone is welcome, female/male, solo/couple/friends, straight/LGBTQIA+! So let’s travel together with fun, like-minded travelers! If you have an open mind and are kind to fellow travelers, you will fit in perfectly on these trips! If you’d like to host a Meetup in your area (i.e. a brunch, happy hour, travel talk, coffee, etc), feel free to let me know and I'll help you get it set up in the group! **NOTE:** The people on these trips are from all over the States but you’ll always be connected with people from the same city on a trip so you can meet up face to face and get to know your future travel buddies prior to the trip. You’ll also be connected to the whole group via email prior to the trip so you can virtually get to know those that are from different areas. On average, the people on each trip are 90% solo travelers but it’s hard to predict the exact demographic for each trip so please keep this in mind. Feel free to join the Facebook group to connect with past travelers on these trips, see pictures, ask questions, funny travel memes, travel-related articles, etc: [https://www.facebook.com/groups/613025845523107](https://www.facebook.com/groups/613025845523107) The trips in this group are put on by a tour company called Globe Drifters and they focus on small group trips geared towards solo travelers with the mission of giving new meaning to travel by putting the human experience at the heart of their trips. The groups are small, usually with 12 people maximum per trip and about 90% of everyone on each trip are solo travelers so you’re not stuck being the odd man out on trips with mostly couples. You’ll have the best of both worlds, solo travel with the security of a small group of other solo travelers for some company on your adventure! To contact Globe Drifters directly, you can email [info@globe-drifters.com](mailto:info@globe-drifters.com).

New members will only be accepted so long as this ratio is maintained (unless at the organizers' discretion). \ Some events will be unlimited (open), while others will have a cap on attendance (closed). As membership grows, there may be a limit placed on how many closed events one can join per week (\~1-2), so to give everyone a fair chance. We would like our members to be active and engaging, so no lurking! :P To get you guys **PUMPED**, here's are only a few of the events we are in the works of planning: • Weekly happy hours at various bar/lounges in the bay • Summer beach bonfires • Themed bar crawls • House parties, dinner parties, holiday parties, pool parties, picnics \ • Weekend camping trips • Hike, bike, backpack, climb, raft while spending time with nature \ • Festivals - culture, music, sports, etc. \ • Day/Roadtrips - Sutro baths, 17-mile Drive, Carmel-by-the-sea, Big Sur, Point Reyes, etc. \ • Overnight/Multi-night trips - Tahoe, Big Sur, Vegas, Yosemite, Mendocino, San Diego • Local activities - bowling, SUP, canoe/kayaking, laser tag, escape rooms, comedy club, dance lesson, volunteer work etc. \ Remember, our events will be all-inclusive. No planning on your part - just show up, have fun, and make unforgettable memories with a unique group of people we hope will become some of your closest friends!\ There is no US without YOU, looking forward to meeting everyone. Let's create something great together! DISCLAIMER: This is YOUR group as much as it is ours.
