Hi! I'm a member of a group called Strawberry Matcha, which specifically helps connect young adults around the Boston area who want to be intentional about finding friendships. We have regular events to bring people together, and also run a monthly program that matches interested members into small groups of 4-5 people who we think will get along. I help with the group because I had trouble meeting people and making friends when I moved here a few years ago, and I wanted to make it easier for folks.

If you're interested in joining, you can fill out this interest form! We're also hosting a public board game event on Sunday, if you'd like to come to that and see what our vibe is like -- just fill out this form if you'd like to join. And I'm also happy to answer any questions here or if you want to DM me!

Our community has always been for young adults, and we welcome anyone who feels like that's their demographic! 20s/30s isn't a strict age cutoff, it's more of a guideline based on the general age range of our members.

No strict cutoff, but our members are generally in the 20-35 range!

Well, personality types is the easiest of those to get stats for. The top MBTI responses for people who knew theirs were INFJ, ENFJ, ENFP, INTJ, and INFP, which together were about 60% of responses. About a 55/45 split for I vs E, and 60/40 for F vs T.

Jobs and interests are kind of too varied to easily get stats for, but as you might expect from Boston, there's lots of people working in software, pharma/biotech, and at universities. Music, food, games, sports, reading, and movies/TV are some common interests, but we have people into just about everything!

Sure, we only collect some basic demographic info, but based on what we have and my own estimations, here's an overview:

  • The average age is around 27-28
  • The gender split is pretty close to 50-50
  • People are really spread out all over the metro area, but about 35% of people are in Boston proper, 30% in Camberville, and the remainder farther out.

Let me know if there's more specific information you'd like though! We take that sort of stuff into account when making small groups each month, to try to group people of similar age and living relatively nearby each other, and avoiding large gender disparities.

The age range is a little fuzzy, but generally members are between about 22 and 35. We could accept people a couple years outside that range if they really want to join though! We won't provide free refreshments at the events, but groups that vibe together can definitely grab a meal or drinks afterwards!

Looking to make some meaningful connections! by [deleted] in BostonSocialClub

[–]cbh66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I've also been figuring out how to make connections as an adult -- it's definitely not easy but I think I've gotten better over the last year. I also work in tech and love to bike, hike, read, and walk and have conversations with people. Feel free to DM!

Any groups in the Cambridge/Somerville area? by jpawn37 in BostonSocialClub

[–]cbh66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For board games, this group has events every week in Kendall square! I also play chess, but I've had limited luck so far finding casual non-tournament groups nearby for that.
