This is not your typical meetup group. This group is about making real, lasting friendships. I've found that with other groups, you rarely make new friends. You just hang out with strangers at that event, and that's it. Well, let's change that with this group! :) When you join this group, you are acknowledging that you are interested in making real friends, and that it's okay for other members to contact you via e-mail if they think you might have stuff in common, and visa versa. The demographic …

Are you an indie girl wandering the cold streets of Chicago? If so, you've come to the right place. We want together a group of music loving, bike riding, artistically inclined, pseudo weird girls to have fun! For me this group was born out of the desire to escape mainstream culture, how many times have I stood around in a group of women and felt like wow I just don't relate to you: no, I don't care if the Cubs won last night, not really interested in what sorority you were in, and NO I didn't …

This group is for young (20's and 30's) single women who are looking to build new friendships in the Chicagoland area. I have another group in the western burbs, but no one seems to be very active in it, and no one ever suggests any meetups. I've been trying to think of a way to make sure people are active in this group, so I've made us a facebook group page where we can all talk and decide on meetups for our group. I thought people might be more likely to chat with other members on facebook, th …

In my opinion and from personal experience, it's easier to make real lasting friendships when meeting new people one on one, as opposed to in a group. I feel that when meeting others one on one, you can actually get to know each other, and see if you have things in common. This group is for young single (as in not married) women in their 20's and 30's who want to meet others one-on-one and hopefully make some new friends. Once you've joined this group, you can simply contact others in the group …

If you would like to meet other ladies in the Western Suburbs at breakfast/brunch, you'll enjoy this group.

This is a group for women interested in walking, hiking and biking around our beautiful village. All skills levels are welcome. But I'd like to meet some power walkers too!

This group is for women 40+ (or close to becoming of age:)) interested in building long-lasting friendships, that include running/walking, 5Ks, outdoor activities such as camping, kayaking/canoeing, cookouts, etc. I started this group because I feel there are plenty of women out there who want to become/stay fit, are in need of a friend, a new beginning or a non-judgmental shoulder to lean on...an uplifting person who will be there as a friend all while having a good time and easying up on the d …
