Hello ladies! This is a Meetup group in their 30's and 40's who live in Portland proper and would like to make new friends while participating in fun activities. I've been a member of other Meetups and noticed that a lot of the events are held in the Beaverton/Tualatin areas. So I decided to start a group for Portland residents who prefer majority of Meetups to be held within Portland. And for those who also find that it's harder to make lasting friendships the older you get... Or those that a …

This is for the Vancouver, Clark County area food lovers. Let's explore our eats. It's not all about Portland right?

Outside of Argentina, Portland is perhaps one of the best places to learn this passionate social dance. Thanks to the many amazing Portland teachers, DJs, and organizers, the Portland Tango community is large, friendly and growing by the minute!

Just a great group of folks who enjoy unwinding with a couple drinks after a long work week.

The goal of this group is to explore and experience the unique culture of Portland and the northwest. Think of it as tourism for locals. About 50% of the people on every event are newcomers to Portland or to the group. It's a great way to meet new people while enjoying new experiences. I host at least 20 events on the calendar per month. Most of the events are done on foot, but some are simply showing up at a particular destination for fun. Events include: Dining and entertainment walks (highli …

Hey dudes and betties, I just moved to Portland all the way from Michigan, so like a lot of you, I don't know many people around here. I gotta say (and I get the feeling that you're thinking the same thing) I'm getting a little burned out of all of these Meetup groups where the age range is from 20-40ish.  Personally, I don't think that is a good mix of people... many of us are single and ready to mingle, still enjoy the bar nights.... you get the idea.  Join up and let's have some fun and meet …

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 …

There are other local fat groups that meet for activities, but they don't seem to do it with any certain regularity. This group was formed as a …

We are an autism-centered social group, run by and for autistic adults, who do fun things each month like board game nights, disability-friendly swing dancing, movie nights, restaurant outings, and more, autistic style!  Any autism spectrum diagnosis (self or official) is okay. "Adults" more or less means 18 years old and up, although we don't check IDs; if you look close enough to 18, you're in.  We don't have an upper limit on age, so you may wind up socializing with people much older or young …
