If you’re like me, you are a single/divorced/or widowed, professional 40+ woman who works 40+ hours during the week and has little time (or energy for that matter) to develop friendships with other woman. I try to plan outings on the weekends – shopping, movies, hikes, festivals, Sunday coffee etc., and while I enjoy my own company it would be nice to share the experience(s) with a friend or two. So, I thought that creating “Weekend Friends” would be a great idea for women like me living in the …

Welcome to Oakland Happy Hour. We meet most Thursday evenings and visit a different clubs, bars and pubs, near BART, and in Oakland. Our target age range is 30's and 40's.

We also occasionally have events on other days of the week, and we do allow people of all ages to join. We're kind of free flowing like that with very lit …

No one likes to hang out alone...especially me. I'm a member of other meet-ups but being single and a parent (and unbelievably cool :-) ) I miss out due to conflicts with my parental calendar. Also, let's face it, it's really tough to make friends after a certain age especially when kids are involved and you are not originally from the area. So I figure, why not start my own meet-up and catch people on the fly? This group is not about dating, not about social networking, not about one particular …

The men are smart, good-looking, energetic and sexy and they prefer ladies of substance who can hold a conversation and know what they like and what they want. We are all looking to connect …

Hi, First off, please note that sailing experience or obsession is required, to keep the group size manageable. I do make tons of exceptions, for various reasons (e.g. if you're Greek, Harvard-related, the funniest person in the world, the Dos Equis man, etc.) Thanks for the understanding; please do not harass me if I decline you.

Have you seen "I Love You, Man"? Kinda like that. Your founder realized that at 40, he had pretty much given up on having guy friends and found himself sitting with "the girls" way too often. Not a gay group - just dudes looking to get out a bit more, and do more than drink & watch sports. Married or not, kids or not - you just need some male bonding. Also - gay dudes welcome - it's just not a dating group. I've always wanted a poker group, but don't play poker. A drum circle without the hippies …
