About us

CLICK HERE to see our main meetup events calendar http://www.socialfundation.com

Who should join us ?

Singles from the US, Europe, Africa, Asia, Oceania interested to meet other singles in New York City, and being interested in meeting people from various countries, religions, ethnics and cultures.

Our group is opened to any sexual orientation, yet restricted to open-minded and fun people of all ages, and with one thematic event per week/month, suggested by members and/or organizers.

Why should you join ?
You should join us if you are single and interested in cultural diversity. You will have opportunities to learn from others, to challenge yourself, have fun, hopefully you will find the right special someone. Our members mingle, but they also make true friends, as members having found their soul mate through us are more than welcome to stay and share this experience.
Our members are singles, but most importantly, they are unique, that's the thing that matters the most in everyone's quest for love. What can you expect out of our group ? Our typical activities will be going out together, meet, mingle, and learn from each others. We like the concept of speed dating but we think a "slow dating" event is even better, themed parties, watching movies, going together to museums exhibition and tours with curators.
What we are NOT and we do NOT do :
We respect individuals (you) as well as Meetup group's community guidelines. In particular :
● We don't primarily promote a product, business, venue or service
● We don't divert members to another website and we don't act as a lead generator for another website
● We never send spam and we don't primarily broadcast messages rather than have events
● We don't create this group to promote a one-time event, we intend to have several events together

    Online SPEED DATING (Men and Women ages 30 and 40s)

    Online SPEED DATING (Men and Women ages 30 and 40s)

    Location not specified yet

    *TO ATTEND GET TICKETS AT THIS LINK
    https://www.weekenddating.com/event-details.aspx?id=13521#tix
    *Register at the bolded ticket link in the full event description.

    (These sell out quickly so if you'd like participate, please register ASAP. Multiple groups are co-organizing so the RSVP's shown are just a small portion attending. We have a good # registered and we keep the gender ratio even.)

    This is the perfect event to meet singles from the tri-state area - all from the comfort of your own home. Get to meet people online before meeting them in person! You will meet singles via your computer with webcam or smartphone/tablet (strong WiFi connection required if using a phone).

    HOW DOES IT WORK?
    We will break participants into pairs of two, just like we do with traditional speed dating. You will get to speak to each dates for a specified amount of time (typically 4-6 minutes). After the specified number of minutes, the guys will rotate to the next date and the process continues.

    Just like with traditional speed dating, at the end of the event you will be able to let us know who you were interested in. We will send you both mutual matches (you picked them and they picked you) as well as one way matches (they picked you but you did not pick them).
    You are given 20 minutes from the end of the event to let us know who you are interested in and will receive the results the same night (usually within one hour) or the next morning.

    You will not have to wait 24 hours or more to get your results.
    The minimum number of potential dates will be 5 and the maximum will be about 10. If there are less than 5 members of the opposite sex in attendance, you will get credit for a future virtual event.

    How do I find the Zoom Room?
    After you purchase your ticket, you will get a confirmation appear on your screen along with the Zoom link for you to use to log in.
    Cost? Between $23-$25 depending on how early you register.

    Rsvps on here are not reflective of actual attendance as this is a multi group event.

    Let's take it back to a simpler (and a lot more fun) time! Our 80s & 90s Trivia Night is of our most popular and well attended online meetups. Categories will be 80s & 90s Movies, Music, Sports, Pop Culture, Television). Prizes include Amazon Gift Cards and more!!

    HOW IT WORKS:
    You can attend via a computer & Webcam or Smartphone/Ipad/Tablet.
    This completely online event will be LIVE and you will be able to see and hear the other participants while playing. In addition you get to meet and interact with other participants.

    At game time, your host will read off 80s & 90s Trivia questions. Your goal is to come up with the right answer to each question and write it down on your paper. Once the round is over (about 6 questions), we will go through the answers and determine who had the highest score for the round. They will get a raffle ticket for a chance to win a prize at the end of the event.

    We will have multiple rounds of play and have a system to also virtually introduce you to other participants.
