There are many meet ups that for all sorts of things from meeting new friends to depression groups. Meeting people is so hard these days weather dating or just finding like minded people you get along with. Meet ups allows you to go alone to a meet up and make new friends with no stress and if you are single and looking then at lest you can meet someone in a relaxed stress free environment and meet people face to face. This is a good thing why they are caning dating meet ups is beyond me at least you do not talk to someone for a month and get asked for money and find out the pension is fake and in Nigeria. Worst case if you do not like the people at a meet leave and find another meet up with people you do get along with.
