El Brujo Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 A group called Sober Singles just started on Meetup last week and already they have over 100 people. Alcohol is not part of their picture. I might go to a couple of their events, just for kicks. I see things different now that I've gone to different meetups... now when I see someone being social with a drink in their hand, it says "I can't do this without a prop". My older co-worker was right when he told me a drink is just a prop. If you think OLD companies have sprouted up like weeds, well Meetup groups that are nightclub-centered, are a dime a dozen. Some are fancier than others, but basically they're all alike... the non-alcohol groups are different. But yesterday I stopped to think... I've put up with so much rejection and game-playing, been the object of crushes from women who totally didn't interest me, and gotten so comfortable with my hobbies and jobs, that maybe I've become too introverted to actually want a relationship anymore? I remember when I was with my last dates a year and a half ago, I kept feeling like I wanted each date to be over ASAP.
Frank13 Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 Are these a group of recovering alcoholics or just people who don't drink? 3
Author El Brujo Posted July 14, 2012 Author Posted July 14, 2012 Are these a group of recovering alcoholics or just people who don't drink? They're people who know they don't have to drink to have a good time. 1
thatone Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 so you call their casual drinking a prop and use the fact that you don't like alcohol as a crutch to explain why you don't get dates.

My older co-worker was right when he told me a drink is just a prop. Funny,when I was at an event, someone's house party or something. I finished a drink, and I was socializing without a cup in my hand, and a couple of people jokingly expressed, "Whaaa? Where's your drink??"
thatone Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 whatever. the girls look down on those who dont get drunk i was talking to the OP but whatever.
