What we’re about
Make real friends with respect, intention, and authenticity.
Welcome to our space designed for respectful individuals in Utah who are looking to build meaningful friendships—without drama, cliques, or superficial interactions.
We believe that genuine connections happen in the right setting, which is why our events take place in carefully selected venues that foster real conversations and engaging social experiences—not in places where people feel uncomfortable. Our goal is to help you meet like-minded individuals who share your values and are open to genuine friendships and connections.
We value inclusion, respect, and integrity. Discrimination has no place here. Whether you're LDS, of a different faith, or non-religious, you're welcome. Everyone deserves a space to build authentic friendships without judgment.
### What Makes Our Group Different?
✅ A no-drama, no-cliques environment where people genuinely want to make new friends.
✅ A community mindset, where members support and uplift each other.
If you’re tired of surface-level conversations and want to meet people who are kind, and respectful, this is the group for you. Join us and let’s create lasting friendships together!

### Group Rules
1️⃣ Respect First – Every member must treat others with kindness and respect. No rude comments, discrimination, or offensive language.
2️⃣ Genuine Intentions Only – This is not a hookup group. Members should be looking for real friendships and connections.
3️⃣ No Harassment – If someone isn’t interested in further friendship, respect their decision. No persistent messages or unwanted advances.
4️⃣ Inclusive & Judgment-Free – People from different backgrounds and faiths are welcome. No religious discrimination or negative talk about anyone’s beliefs.
5️⃣ Professionalism Matters – We attract mature and professional individuals. Conduct yourself accordingly at events and in group interactions.
6️⃣ Event Etiquette – Show up on time, be engaged, and participate in a respectful and friendly manner.
