We have the largest group of any other city and yet we can't have a get together to have a little fun? Other cities have socials all the time (just like we used to) so why can't we? Just a small group of friends getting together after work for happy hour--where's the harm in that? It used to work for us---and for all those who are so worried about whatever ---don't come and you will have nothing to worry about.

IMO groups are a bad idea. Interested guys/gals should meet prior to sessions though and test out their spidey senses.Thanks for your input - I respect what you're saying but I'm thinking small group of nice people could work. Trust me, the LAST thing I want to do is be an organizer of big socials.
Meeting in a group begs lots of questions that don't need answers. There are more people I would not meet with in a big group than people I'd meet with. For example, I only know two guys on this site I trust. So if half your 12 is M, I'm out already. I'd say no to any group meeting and have in the past.
People that want to meet should arrange it personally on a very small group level. I only have 3 people on this site i want to meet right now, all women. And I'm not even sure if anything will come of it. Originally Posted by pfmtony

Only down side is how do I answer a stranger when he asks me which one is my daughter? Originally Posted by hdSame as any after hours work social to me. People of all ages and types.

And there are plenty of people on this board from Dallas that fit this description. Most do not, but far too many do.I know of at least 3 girls we've both seen - THN, Melannie Star, and Syeia Pink - ask them if I'm the type with an ulterior motive. I have plenty of my own money so I don't want a cut. I just want meet some ladies that I may not have met otherwise. I only see ladies who post semi-regularly so to see people would be great for me. For it to be truly worth the lady's time I think we need other guys. And I stress guys that see girls, not tire kickers.
And I definitely won't be there.
In an ideal world, sure have a blast, but this isn't ideal. Originally Posted by pfmtony

Yes I know we seem to have similar tastes in women, and they all say good things about you. Thats a great point of reference, and I think your motives are good.
I would definitely be interested! I have done this before a few times!
My only caution to the ladies and gents would be to park where your car is away from the meeting spot so no one can get your plates and search for your personal info. Be safe! Originally Posted by thathottnurse
