Discuss & Socialize 🍷 Hypogamy & Modern Relationships: Can Gender Roles Evolve?
Many say you shouldn't date outside your class, wealth or social status category. Others say it's possible, but depends on your gender. Are these rules of the past still applicable to modern relationships? Or can we evolve past them and the gender roles they imply?

**\*Come for the discussion, stay for the friendships. Our weekly discussion series brings together thoughtful people for honest conversations on relationships, life, and society—with warm social vibes before and after.\***
**WHAT TO EXPECT:**
* Good vibes only: we chat big topics in a chill, respectful way. No arguing - just open-minded exchange.
* We warm up with casual socializing (come solo or with friends!)
* The topic starts around 7:45/8pm, wraps around 9:30.
* 🍕 There's pizza, drinks, milkshakes and snacks available at the bar (incl plant-based options)
* And most people stay until late for drinks and mingling!

**JOIN THE COMMUNITY**
Set up in November 2021, the project was set up to help Londoners in their 20s and 30s meet, connect and hopefully build lifelong friendships.
To help make this happen, we also host all kinds of events from free social walks, games evenings, day trips, social events, activity nights to picnics.
To learn more about our community, follow us on social media or buy us a coffee, please follow one of the links below.

HydeOut Kitchen & Bar
Hello everyone!
For our first dinner together, we’re keeping things low-key and casual. Take a look at the menu and let us know what you think we want this to be easy, relaxed, and enjoyable for everyone.
Quick housekeeping note: many restaurants require most of the party to be present before seating. No-shows impact the entire group, so if someone repeatedly commits and doesn’t show more than once, we’ll have to remove you from future dinners to keep things fair and smooth for everyone.
Looking forward to a great night and even better conversations 🍽️✨
