I wanted to create a group in Vancouver that attracts non-flakey professional women. For the benefit of the group, I am only looking for members who are committed to attending meetings, developing relationships with the other women in the group and eventually, once trust is developed, seek to provide referrals to others in the group when appropriate. If you are a professional working in Vancouver and are willing to commit to meeting once every three weeks, this may be a great fit. If you are …

I moved to Portland almost a year ago with my partner. We only knew her cousin and no one else. Needless to say, our social meter was definitely in the red a few months later: ( I struck up a conversation with a woman on a bus, mentioned I didn't know anyone and she suggested joining meetup. We attended our first meetup two weeks later, a second one the day after. From those meet ups , we met 6 fabulous men and close to a dozen fantastic women.

On a practical level, this Portland social group is for lesbian/queer and queer-friendly women who have vitality and a strong sense of self. I say "practical" because I realize that most people use meetup casually, to meet others and find things to do from time to time. But ideally, I'd like to manifest a village of warriors. To me, a true warrior of modern times is a strong woman who has a healthy relationship with power. She speaks her truth, walks her own path, lives by principle instead of c …
