Would you like to have more chances of meeting politically liberal intelligent respectful non-sexist non-racist folks in Portland? We wont meet in loud bars where you cant hold a real conversation and we wont go to bars where folks drink and then they think and talk differently - not always so good for creating genuine mature friendship.

I have found a great way to meet people is to enjoy activities together. Ping Pong is a great way for competitive active people to find each other.

Hobnob Grille is a friendly, cozy bar and restaurant in SE Portland with great food, full bar, kid friendly that happens to have a Ping Pong Table. You should join if you are an active adult with any level of Ping Pong experience. I only host at the Hobnob G …

A few years back while I was living in Boston, MA, I organized a meet up group called "Pool, darts and beer." The idea was not only to enjoy these fun activities but also to meet other people and places around town. The idea here is the same as before: maybe meet every two weeks or once a month for starters at different places around town. Some times to play pool, others to play darts, and always to drink beer! :) I usually prefer pool to darts but find both enjoyable. I must admit that I suck a …

Ever notice how there is NO gay neighborhood in Portland, OR? Also, there isn't a full time LESBIAN bar here anymore either. So my fellow lesbian friends and I thought it would be super smart to create a LESBIAN SOCIAL CLUB. LESBIAN SOCIAL CLUB: We'll pick a date, time and spot every month for lesbians to congregate. We've heard of this working before in other cities so we thought we'd try it here. Nothing formal just a suggestion..."Hey all the lesbians are hanging here tonight....and so on!"

This is a group for people to meet new people in a fun speed dating enviroment. We have monthly speed dating events at local Portland bars. Come out and have the chance to go on over 10 dates in one night.  Guaranteed to meet every person at the event.

It can be hard to meet other people, especially if you don't like going to a bar to get picked up. That's why I decided to start this meetup. It will be for younger couples, new or old, who want to do fun things with other couples. Couples in their 20's or 30's would probably feel the most comfortable. We will go bowling, go to new restaurants, check out local events, maybe even take some classes. Let me know if you have a suggestion! (Not a swingers meetup, just friends)

I can't get enough of the tarot “treasure house of images”.  I can't help buying books about the tarot. My reading would be more satisfying if I had others to discuss them with.  Let’s meet up to discuss some of our favorite tarot writing, both fiction and non-fiction. FOOL The wise man hears of the Gate and studies the lock every day. The devotee hears of the Gate and tries to squeeze between the bars. The fool hears of the Gate and laughs. Without laughter the Gate would never open. Rachel Po …
