Just recently, I found that a group (chapter?) called "Virgins Anonymous" had been created on Meetup. The description of this group is as follows, and notez bien that these are the founder's words, not mine:

Quote:

I am starting this group to hopefully provide support for each other. I want to have a safe place where we can talk about all the social problems we have and why we can't find dates.

To that effect, he proposes this:

Quote:

I would like to do group meetups as well as one on one (sic) "test" dates, where we can feel free to tell each other what does and does not work.

With all that in mind, is this a good group for me to join?

Looking at the meetup group you specify, it appears the meetup group just started a week ago and will probably be a while before the first meetup happens. One of the other members seems interested in cross promoting with other groups. Perhaps join any other group that these members might be in would be a good idea.

Do you think there's something you can get out of it? It might devolve into banal angst like so many places online, or it might be a place to meet people looking to find a buddy for social skills practice... or whatever. Someone to go do activities with during the age when everyone else is raising a family. Generally I think it's unhealthy for people to too strongly associate their identity with a problem, which is a risk in some settings.

It will have a 100:1 male to female ratio.
