Hi fellow introverts. Please read guidelines below, before joining this group. (Thank you) We schedule most of our meetups in Lake County, but since we've been getting more members from all over the place, we've been scheduling more meetups in Chicago, Cook County suburbs, and a few north of the border in Wisconsin, or a bit West in McHenry County, just to give you an idea of locations. For those of us who are introverts/loners and/or "live inside" our heads, making new friends can be more of a …

Are you spending way too much time in front of the TV or computer? Does your dog or cat have more of a social life than you? Well, if you're feeling like we are, let's try and remedy this. We're looking for women who want to develop some good, and hopefully long lasting friendships...women who enjoy dining out, seeing a movie, playing cards and board games, Mah Jongg, traveling, or just sitting around with a pot of coffee and sharing themselves with each other.

I started this group since I didn’t see a meetup group for single dads specifically. Dads need a group to provide support and make new friends. I know I do. Let’s make this a group that actually meets up. We can just meet up at a local bar, someone’s house, doesn’t really matter to me. Maybe even plan an activity or two. I think it would be great to meet more people in a similar situation, and hopefully, you do, too. We could also have meetups with kids, but I view this as primarily a support gr …

"if you haven't done a chapter ride in awhile or are a new member, get out and ride with our group. we have the nicest people in our chapter. i have talked to friends who don't belong to a hog chapter and they say its because the group wasn't friendly or they didn't include everyone. not the Palatine chapter. they are the best!" Kay S. This is the Meetup site for Palatine IL H.O.G. Chapter. You will need to be both a National H.O.G. and local Palatine IL H.O.G. member to join this group. Once yo …

If you're more of an introvert, and also identify as LGBT, then maybe this is the group for you. This group has gone through some changes, so you w,ill see "old meetups/former members" still listed from last year when it was a different version. We hope to make this the last and final version of the group! The previous group we tried to create just didn't quite "fit" us, and we realized that we needed to gear this group more towards introverts, but LGBT introverts. Please keep in mind... This is …

This group has merged with Gen X/Y Social between the cities - please join our group on that meetup site instead.  Thanks! I have found it difficult to meet young people in their 30s and 40s along the Illinois/Wisconsin border. It seems that most groups in this area are under 40 or over 50 and forgot about the awesome kids who grew up in the 80 and 90s listening to grunge and alternative. Whether single, divorced, newly separated, or in a relationship, we often don't have enough time to find pe …

"let's get together for affordable activities, hiking, movies, ? camping, cooking together, book club, cultural events, making new friends. I'm starting this group because I live in Barrington and I'm looking for healthy, interesting people who want to get together and explore outdoor and cultural events and not always want to drive to Chicago to do so. I am married, so it's not a group to go looking for guys. I'm looking for health-conscious women who like to socialize in healthy ways,explore n …

Looking to meet new people in the gay community without having to go to the city? Look no further! This group will hopefully serve as an opportunity for those of us in the northern suburbs to make new friends and plan fun and unique social outings. It can be difficult finding other local LGBT folks when we're limited to the downtown scene. The lack of suburban venues for the gay community can often feel isolating, so let's change that! I welcome anyone to join this group, and I look forward to t …
