About us
Yeah we definitely welcome volunteers and folks who want to take on a little more responsibility if they're feeling inspired There's no pressure but if you've got ideas for events or just want to help make sure things run smoothly at meetups we've got space for that Your energy and input can really help shape what this community becomes and honestly it's a great way to get more involved and meet people on a deeper level
We're all about keeping things respectful and inclusive here That means everyone gets treated with kindness and dignity no matter who they are or where they're from We set the tone early in our events by encouraging open mindedness and real listening If something comes up we address it gently but seriously because everyone should feel safe and valued when they show up
Accessibility matters to us so we try to pick event locations that are easy to get to and usable for folks with different needs Whether it's making sure there's wheelchair access or choosing quieter spots for those sensitive to noise we listen and adapt We might not have everything perfect all the time but we're always willing to learn and make things better for everyone
What makes us different Well we're not your typical singles group with awkward icebreakers or forced flirting We're the Nihilist Lonely Cormorant Club which already tells you we don't take ourselves too seriously even when we're looking for something real We mix thoughtful conversations with fun low pressure activities because connection happens when you're actually enjoying yourself not when you're speed dating under fluorescent lights
If you're tired of swiping and small talk and you're ready to meet people who actually want to build something meaningful then this is your crew We're all out here trying to figure things out together with a little humor and a lot of heart Come join us and see what happens when lonely cormorants decide to stop sitting on separate rocks and start sharing the shoreline
