Wanting to meet new people but not wanting to go to events

[LOLHA]

I wouldn't call myself introverted by any means. I constantly try new hobbies on my own. I doubt its abnormal to feel this way about it. I was thinking about going to my local 18-35 meetup but just about everyone who rsvped was in the 30+ range. Maybe this post is a little to venty idk

A lot of the purpose of the 18-35 munches was for people who were maybe a little 'younger' - partially as munches in (some) areas had an image of being older attendees, which some younger found off-putting and also of course there is sometimes unfairly a few disparages between the eras 

I guess the question is what is the problem as such with meeting people who are loosely in your same kind of generation, even if they're marginally older?

Remember the meet ups are about social, making friends, sharing stories and gaining experiences rather than hook-up as such.

Maybe the only ones who could be bothered to reply are older people.

I wouldn't let the age of the other kinksters, whether they are a lot younger than myself or older, put me off going. Go and mingle, you will never know who you will meet 🙂 Everyone there has a shared interest, do let age put you off.

Flipping typos. Last bit was meant to say, don't let age put you off.

I guess it depends what you want to get out of a munch? If you’re only looking for a play partner and the older age group isn’t for you, then it may not work. But if you’d like to make kinky friends, learn something, be part of the community - could be fantastic. And you might meet someone who knows someone who you might end up playing with.

Was drawn to the “introverted” part of your post and I identify with that personally especially with this covid stuff at the moment. I’ve been curious about it as well but dont like travel yet also want to experience it at some point in a safe way. 🤔

in the UK there are very few events at the minute and I'd most certainly not recommend going to most that are running unless it's somewhere near to you know and you know will be well ran

there's munches attempting to run (some flip flopping the guidelines...) but having to cap at 20-30 people AND at the mercy of how many other people are in the pub - so travelling and find you cannot get in would be a ***er.

Vent or 'event' .... why not give it a try.....  you'd be amazed at how many 'immature' 30+ yr olds there are!!!!

 

Just my perspective...  but worth giving it a try anyhow..
