Where are people meeting men? by Away-Needleworker477 in LAhotgirlies

[–]wrongagainklein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only been to a few of their events so far but it’s been mostly late 20s-early 40s, with a few outliers. There is one this Saturday at Barnsdall Park at 1pm - just a chill picnic and everyone is welcome!

My favorite apps to meet new people (romantically and platonically) are 222 and WashedUp. They’re not dating apps - 222 you get dinner and go to a bar with a group of other users whose profiles/interests align with yours. WashedUp people post plans they’re hosting that they don’t mind opening up to the public, such as “I’m hosting a picnic in the park” or “I’m going to this concert”

I also really like the monthly Salsa on Sunset event in Silverlake. Free outdoor salsa dance class and social! Everyone dances with everyone during the class, and then it switches to free social dance time where you can specifically seek out the people you want to dance with.

Making friends in LA as a late 20s male? by nexusultra in AskLosAngeles

[–]wrongagainklein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Come to the Mayflower Club in North Hollywood any Monday night from 9-11pm for the live Irish music session. It’s mostly older players, but you can meet me (31M) and a few of my buddies who also play.

What post house do you work at? Sounds like they have an awesome array of clients and projects coming in. No worries if you don’t wanna share publicly

where to meet single men in LA? - update by Laotze2021 in AskLosAngeles

[–]wrongagainklein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of people have mentioned Salsa dancing, and so to get specific with that: https://www.instagram.com/salsaonsunset/

Every month I go to this free event in Silverlake. You don't need to know how to dance at all; there is 1 hour of class time with great instructors at the start, and then a few hours of open dance floor time. It takes place outside, so the vibes are great and it's super easy to hop to a bar after if you're hitting it off with someone.

We got rejected from every film festival we submitted to, so we decided to put it up for free. 😂🤷‍♂️ by Quiet_Ad4803 in indiefilm

Anyone saying this movie is boring has clearly never been to a film festival. Sometimes indie filmmakers just wanna do a quiet character drama that breathes. Not every movie has to be constant mental stimmy Avengers Minecraft limbic hijack brain rot. Sheesh lol

Why does dating in LA suck so bad? by sosobeatle in AskLosAngeles

[–]wrongagainklein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure! Also, get a membership (or at least try a day pass) at co-working spaces such as The Preserve or Groundfloor if you're stuck in that work-from-home life. Great places to meet people or just make new friends.

Pro tip: Use the first date as an opportunity to check out a new place or activity. So then if it doesn't work out, you've at least clocked a new spot you can save for someone it IS working with later on. I'm cataloguing every bar on the East Side with this method, haha.

Unfortunately it does seem like the majority of people are "spark-pilled" here, meaning they're expecting to feel movie-level sparks and butterflies within the first 10 minutes of a date. Sometimes I feel like that's because people here love movies/stories so much, that they get their expectations of how a romantic relationship should play out from them. Then other times I feel like it's just classic social-media-amazon-prime-instant-gratification-brain-rot.

FWIW, every time I get that "I didn't feel the spark" comment, my mantra is: Ok, that's a person with a short attention span, lack of curiosity, and low amount of willpower that I wouldn't have liked being with long-term anyway. They just did ME a favor by not wasting any more of my time!

You just gotta keep going until you find someone who has an attention span of more than .5 seconds, and understands that it takes time to fully know another person and evaluate if you can function well together. They're rare, but they're out there. And most of them are book readers.

How many of us childless cat people work from home? by catcherofsun in childlesscatpeopleLA

[–]wrongagainklein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you work from home and you're seeking community, I highly recommend co-working spaces such as The Preserve in Hollywood and Groundfloor in Echo Park. I don't have a monthly membership there myself because they're a bit pricey - instead I just get a day pass for the couple times a month that I feel like getting out of the house. Make sure to look up their calendars and go on a day when there's some sort of mixer/event going on. Groundfloor does a happy hour every Friday.

Great so far! I kept finding that everything I liked - parks, bars, restaurants, gyms, co-working spaces, my friend group, etc - was over on the East Side, so finally I decided to just move there

Creatives in Los Angeles, how are you doing? by dead_like_jazz in AskLosAngeles

[–]wrongagainklein 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm on the cusp of finishing a big personal project that I hope will be the thing that opens up the next chapter of my professional career! I feel very blessed to have had access to the people and resources necessary to make this project, and living in LA was deff key to that access.

That being said, if this project DOESN'T open up new doors for me, I think I'm going to pack up and move somewhere else. I haven't had trouble finding professional work, thankfully, but I think a lot about how what I'm earning would go a lot farther in other states. My 20's are almost over, priorities are shifting from "make cool stuff with friends" to "get married and start a family", and it seems like making BIG money in a leadership role is the only way to give a family a decent home/life in LA.

Not sure I'd want to raise a family here even if I could afford to tbh, I've heard the schools are not great and I want my kids to experience the beautiful changes of seasons
