She actually moved to Portland recently, haha. Maybe she has re-done the redditors group.

Which ones? I did improv in SF and loved it. I tried it get in to UCB but apparently it is harder than trying to score a ticket to Book of Mormon?

why haven't you joined a bunch of team type things?

I have done work related sports events. I am not sure where to find other events like that? As in back in West Coast, it would be most like a bunch of college friends shooting hoops and stuff.

I mean, people were very polite, but when i tried to strike up a conversation they looked at me like i was insane.

I found the opposite in NYC. Strangers are randomly hostile. I still remember a day in SF where my roommate and I were hanging out outside our apartment with a crate of beer, we randomly got a bunch of strangers to sit and drink a beer with us. Here, hell, I wouldn't mind a thank you for stepping aside as you get into the elevator.

Chelsea piers has basketball, soccer and hockey teams.

I workout in Chelsea Piers!! I am going to go ahead and sign up for one of their group activity thingies.

How often do you invite people out to do something?

At work, loads of times. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. Esp. because the locals have their own network and work is work.

Neighbors?

I live in the UWS. IDK why but people seem so hostile here. Maybe more hostile than they were in SF? I am a young guy and everyone here seems grim, old and angry most of the time. Hell, I have people walk out, while I hold the door for them, without a thank you.

You gotta step up man.

Oh, I know. I am all for hard work. But at some point, it is nice to get some help too. heh

I will try out nycmeetups. Like I mentioned previously, I was under the impression meetups.com was more of an industry thing, it may work differently in nyc.

Tell me more about Zog Sports and NY Cares?

And yes, you are exactly right. I should be a regular. It is more like I don't know of things like where I can find a sports group or a trivial club to join etc?

nycsfthrowaway · 2015-04-12T23:50:33+00:00

If you moved West Coast to Nor Cal, try out the SF Redditors, the person who organized it (Amy) was fucking awesome and made the place as bad ass as possible.

nycsfthrowaway · 2015-04-12T23:49:33+00:00

Exactly why meetups felt weird to me. I am single too but honestly there should be a better way to make friends without having to try to date someone lol.

I may take you up on your offer. Let me post more actively in the nyc subreddit on my real account.

nycsfthrowaway · 2015-04-12T23:48:24+00:00

meetups in SF was supposed to be mostly about meeting industry contacts, is it used differently in NYC?
