The friction with Meetup, is that I'm not "a whiskey guy", or a hiker, or a rock climber. I have hobbies, but I'm not defined by them, so meeting up just on that hobby doesn't work. The app needs to detoxify a man going on a date with another man for non-romantic,
non-sexual purposes.
The people on Meetup aren’t defined by their hobbies either. I have had wonderful times on group hikes through Meetup, and I don’t consider myself to be “a hiker.” I just enjoy hiking sometimes. Same with the other people who were there.
If you see something you think you might enjoy doing, I encourage you to give it a shot. Even if you’re not a [that thing]-er.
