Forget everything you already know about dating... About a year ago, I read an article about seduction techniques and became a fan of this school of thought. I am a student of Mystery, Style, and the likes who have found ways to attract beautiful women. Although I have overcome, to some extent, many obstacles such as AA (Approach Anxiety), I still need to get out there and hone my skills. I suspect you do, too... I am starting this wingman group because I know how hard it is to find others t …

When I was growing up, my parents would play Pinochle with my Grandparents. When one would have to get up, they forced me to sit in and I HATED it. Now, I'm an addict. I play online (Double deck on Yahoo) But I miss the feel of the cards, casual conversation, and oh, gloating a bit :) So I'm starting this group to see if there are any others out there. Bring your best game :)

I've been a Nintendo fan since the days of the NES. The Wii U is going to be released in two months and I'm excited to play it.

This meetup group will focus on gathering in public spaces to get our fill of Nintendo's brand of multiplayer excitement. All experience levels are welcome. And the classic "blue turtle shell" effect present in almost all Nintendo games tends to assure that …

This group features weekly games which embody our key concepts: 1. Intensity.  Games should encourage you to push yourself to your physical limits.  Most games will covertly employ the HIIT style of physical training.  I say covertly, for while your muscles might be screaming out like they do during any good exercise, you will be far too focused on capturing the flag to notice. 2. Creativity.  Sometimes unconventional, out-of-the-box thinking is damn near a requirement to winning.  Think "Ender' …

Ideally, you abide and enjoy the social contract when playing middle-weight board and card games. Bring to teach and learn to play.
