    I looked at chill out mondays in shrewsbury for social meets. Then there the option of going to c21 a gay club to enjoy drag acts and stuff which i`m not into. I only want to chat there. Problem is i cant get there without anyone taking me there. I like to know has anyone been to one of these and what`s is it like? Thanks.

    There's a LGBT group that supposedly meets in a city like 30mi's away from where I am now and while it's bit of a drive (one that I've made a few times) I'm really thinking about going.

    I can't necessarily relate to your lack of transportation (I drive, have a car) but the distance it's self can make things discouraging.

    Things are just so sprawled out here, it's like an hour + of driving to get anywhere with people worth seeing and my family doesn't drive much (My parents live like 7mi's from work or less) so traveling is just kind of discouraged. It's suffocating.

    There's one here every Thursday on my campus! (If only you weren't an ocean away (4200 miles) then you could come!)

    If I lived in the U.K, and not the U.S., then I would definitely. Maybe they should make an LGBT airline! hahaa. (so I get there faster).

    Occasionally. A lot of them my Mom dragged me along to because she's a straight ally. I even went to some back when I still thought I was straight.

    The ones I went to all had people with humanities degrees talking about gender and sexual orientation, in between LGBT people and allies chatting with each other about random topics related in some way to gender and/or sexual orientation. But that's just the particular kind of thing my Mom is interested in going to. I'm sure other LGTB meetings do other things instead.

    Anybody know of anything for older guys in SE WI or NE IL? Internet searches have come up empty except for so called dating sites that want money and look like a waste of time and money.

    I always imagine people sitting around in a circle talking about their feelings :slight_smile:
    I hope to attend one soon, just wanted an insight of what to expect :slight_smile:

    I've gone to some at my university and I thought they were meh, they were very cliquey. We talked about coming out, health issues and that kinda stuff. Only good thing was I met my bf there.
