I'm interested in meeting other Out (semi/ fully, home/work) Professional, Gay, Black Men (OPGBM). My desire to create this Meet Up group stems primarily from feeling like I'm the only 'OPGBM' on the planet. While it's easy to connect with my caucasian counterparts...in the 10 yrs I've lived in Chicago...I can't say the same about meeting other OPGBMs. I'm a successful, well-educated, ambitous, out, professional, gay, black man. I would love to meet other OPGBMs in the world to discuss music, la …

Someone you can confide in when facing marriage challenges. A mentor that will pray with you. I am starting this group to reach out to other Christian Couples, newly weds, singles and Church leaders. The topic of marriage needs to be dealt with consistently. Not just once a month. I am a marriage m …

Are you looking for a low pressure environment to meet other singles that share your passion for geeky things? No need to hide your love of whatever it is in order to meet people. Any jerk can love a thing. It’s the sharing that makes geekdom awesome. The key here is low pressure. And no event costs. Just meet, have a couple of drinks (if you are so inclined) and play board games. Focus on having fun and meeting interesting people and perhaps the rest will follow.
