Hi. So, I posted this: "Hello, Nonbelievers! Where do you meet? I've searched high and low for a community of intelligent and pleasant people that meets regularly, in person, to attempt to have sex with eachother, and I've come up thoroughly empty handed. Where are you? Did I dream you"
And apparently everyone who read it decided that what I was describing was an orgy. Please. What I was asking was not "where are the swingers clubs" but, "do people still gather together to socialize?" To which the answer is apparently, "no, and you're a creep for mentioning sex."
So, my reaction, cause I'm a jerk, is to say that everyone needs to get the fuck over themselves and have a fucking life experience. Yes, there's a pandemic, and if you go and get your vaccine, I don't see why you should also never socialize again. Damn, you remember when people would party? Wasn't that cool?
Crash a wedding! Or how about this: If you subscribe to Meetups, they have a number of social events, depending on you area. I know it's hard to find prospective dates, especially in a pandemic. I've gotten on a couple of dating sites and met people that way, just nothing permanent. They were fun while they lasted, lol, and I've made some long-lasting friendships that way. How about outdoor activities, like hiking or skiing? Do you play a musical instrument? If not, learn one ASAP! Guitar circles are a great way to meet people.
The only problem with meeting people in a guitar circle is that you end up fucking people that play in guitar circles.
@JeffMurray Hey!!!!! I will, as a professional musician, take that as an insult. It has nothing to do with that ability, except our rhythm is better.
@Organist1 Just joshin' ya. I think it would have been funnier if it was a drum circle and I said that you'd have to sleep with someone that smells like patchouli, but alas, you make the joke that's available to you. I play trumpet, well, used to. Was in the marching band and everything and loved it, so I'm familiar. They say trumpet players make the best kissers...
@JeffMurray I know you're joking. It's true about tpt. players; I dated one once. He had me on the first kiss! BTW, it's funny about patchouli; you either love it or you hate it.
This post led me to check out your profile, which is quite hilarious. Love it.
I actually read your comment as you expected it to mean, but once you mentioned orgies, I was like: Yes, I can see that! Whoops.
Unfortunately I have no advice for where to meet people other than grocery stores and dating apps.
