We enjoy Mother Nature's diversity as well as our own, so get your rear in gear and come on out and join us for a hike! Why We Hike - To have good times, make frie …

In the words of Jack Nicholson, are you 'Suckered in, set up, pushed around?' Don't worry, whatever you've been doing thus far is not As Good as It Gets. Are you saddled with an active brain, a healthy dose of cynicism, a great sense of humor with a sharp wit (maybe even some acerbic sarcasm), bit of shyness, possibly a latent mental disorder or two, some good old fashioned baggage, and perchance stuck between arrogance and lacking self-confidence? Do others see you as aloof but in reality, yo …

Calling all Singles 40 & Up! Meet for wine (or beer), espresso and decadent desserts (or nachos) and engage with other singles in stimulating conversation on a wide range of topics ... politics, literature, the arts, philosophy, sports, your past travels and wish list ... Light weight chattering is OK. Heavy weight pontificating is cool, too. Anything and everything goes. Humor is a big plus. With all this gabbing goin' on, you just might meet (and be) "the one."

Welcome to the 20s and 30s Outdoors Club! We are an extremely active group of outdoors loving 20s and 30s year olds living in the DC-VA-MD area. We focus on going on real adventures, not watered down hikes like Rock Creek Park...or any other lameness. We like to get out of the city for a day/weekend. Looking for everyone to sacrifice convenience for more memorable experiences. This is not like most meetup groups. We keep the group small (500 people max) and also keep our trip sizes small.

The Graphic Novel Bookgroup reads in as wide a range as there are literary genres. The one commonality is that they all involve stories told with the aid of pictures - sequential storytelling. Obviously, this definition does not limit the content, and, if you were to browse several graphic novels, you’d find striking variety: memoir, journalism, literary fiction, humor, experimental, abstract, underground comix, sketchbook/journaling, superhero, mainstream, manga, manwha, the list goes on. Like …

This is a group for real "Army Wives". Let's meet at Starbucks and Panera and have some laughs! We can help each other get through A LOT with humor, right? Don't you ever feel like you are the only one who knows what being married to the military feels like? Sometimes it's better to become friends with people outside your neighborhood;) And if you live off post in this Greater DC area--you really need to connect with us!

Hi! This group was started because although there are a lot of great groups, there wasn't one for "mature moms". Moms in their 30s, and older with newborns and infants. I am 33 and have one young child. When the original organizer stepped down, I stepped up because I wanted to make sure that the group for mommies like me would still be around. Hopefully there will be an interest :) I too, like the group's founder, am not from this area, so would love to meet new moms and explore the Alexandria …

Are you an intelligent, curious woman between the ages of 30 and 60 (or thereabout) who would love to read and discuss books that educate you in some way? Do you who wonder how the brain works, how the environment and food is affecting your health, what a new scientific discovery overseas could mean for you in terms of your beliefs and ethics, or what it come mean to you when we lose another species to extinction? Do you like to read about historical events that have shaped how we think about me …

Greetings! So, we know friends come in all varieties, but let's be honest . . . it's not fun to always be the lone "mature mom" in the playgroup. The purpose of this group is simple: form friendships with other older moms, and get our kids together as well. Read about us below and if you think it's a fit . . . Join us! Who/What/Where Our group is comprised of moms from across Northern Virginia in their late 30's to 40's, who have a toddler/younger child or infant (or are expecting one soon) We …

This is a group for people with a wide variety of interests. Anything from happy hours, hiking, biking, tennis, going to see live bands, wine tastings, theatre, dinners…anything we can do as a group to expand our social circles, find people with common interests and hopefully make some friends along the way. We’ll do things in all different neighborhoods in the area (mainly in Alexandria, Arlington but also Falls Church, Tysons and Springfield) so our get-togethers will have more variety. Both s …

Two besties started this group because we were tired of having to drive during rush hour to Happy Hours in supposedly better places. Rush hour traffic makes light work of a Happy mood, and no one likes Crappy Hour. There are happy hours here in the Evilburbs and what makes a mediocre happy hour great is the group of people. Our goal is to make the Woodbridge Metro Area a Happening Happy Hour Haven. Anyone can join as long as you have a sense of humor people can understand, want to buy the organi …

Are you new to the NOVA area? Trying to find your way but missing home? Have you been in NOVA for a while and still not quite feeling like it is home yet? If so, THIS is the group for you! Whether it was for work, husband, boyfriend, school, etc... some of us have ended up here in the NOVA area even though our hearts are still at "home" (wherever that might be). In this group I don't want folks to feel that they cannot express their frustrations or their homesickness as we have all been there. M …

Welcome to Cool Chick's Bunko! You have been invited because you are a Cool Chick and like to have fun with friends! We don't take Bunko too seriously, it's just a chance to get together for a girl's nite out to catch up on each other's lives, find camaraderie, share stories, laugh, and have a few drinks... We meet on the third Tuesday of each month of the year with members taking turns hosting in their homes. We begin at 7:30pm - usually with a short time to have a drink and chat for a bit. The …

This is a group for people who enjoy intelligent conversation and dining out with new friends.  It is that simple.  To help you decide whether or not this is the right group for you, ask yourself:  Do you enjoy meeting new people? (hint: you don't have to be an extrovert but you do have to get out of the house and actually meet new people) Do you get a lot of bang out of intelligent conversations and intellectual discussions?  Are you getting bored by these inane questions already?  If you answe …

Welcome to DMVCyclist (A social content hub for cycling friends) DMVCylist was birthed out of a desire to move away from the many email messages, attachments and replay all content that crowded ride seekers personal and business email space. Not to mention the one local ride that created multiple acknowledgements from the various email list managers who shared the content with their riding clique, not knowing that each person within the DMVCyclist is a matrix across multiple email list so that t …
