This weekend has been a complete bust for me. I love going out and doing shit but it seems like none of my friends ever want to do anything. Asked my friends in 2 separate groups if anyone wanted to do anything tn and both are just “tired” or something is “too expensive” even if its like $30. Yesterday was the same deal. There was a meet up group I was going to try to attend that’s doing a bar hop tonight but there’s thunderstorms and I don’t want to be moving place to place in this weather.
Speaking of meetups most of the groups with my interests in my city suck. They’re either:
1. Inactive
2. Only do a small event once every couple months
3. Filled with people nowhere near my age. (I’m 21 will be 22 in 2 weeks) Most people are like mid-30s +
4. The events have almost nothing to do with the interests. Ex. I’m in a “nerd” group so like games, sci-fi stuff like that. Most of the events scheduled are painting miniatures and creative writing. Like what???
Another thing i noticed is that a lot of the groups just overlap and have almost the exact same feature. I joined 9 groups and 4 of the ones that are basically just the same group with 4 different names.
The “event” is a bowling league which sounds fun, I looked into it and the same woman is organizing the event for 4 different groups and just changing the team name for each group for people to join. Literally the info box is copy pasted except for the team name you’d register for.
Facebook groups is pretty similar. Making friends as an adult with no college involved sucks.
