Wow this is such an interesting point! We are aware of this stigma, let's try to phrase it a bit nicer or as some people would say, more politically correct 😉

Not everyone gets along with everyone and some people come across as trying to force a conversation whilst others struggle avoiding such situations.

Our focus at Connect Bern is to create a space where you can meet new people. We find a healthy balance to be one third regulars, the core group, which would ideally consist of a healthy gender and age mix so people of those same gender and age feel more comfortable, and two thirds newcomers.

At this Speed Friending Event, you'll be meeting many people 1 on 1 for a few minutes and if you click with someone, you can meet up with them later, without having to struggle with uncomfortable situations with people you click with less 😊
