    Do we need something to identify the group?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    When you walk through the door and see every male head at a table instantly turn and stare at you, you'll know you've went to the right place! :D

    Someone should print out a sign with "Boards" on it or summit.
    It can be quite daunting for a person to walk up to a group otherwise.
    I have found, that if you don't do something like the above, people will walk in, look around, bottle it and leave again.

    Hopefully it won't all be lads and some of the ladies will come along as well.

    Anyone wanna kickstart the meet-up in Cork idea?? Im 19 and not into the "scene" at all. Was up in Dublin a few weeks ago and went to the george and felt like I had nothing at all in common with anyone there. Had to deal with a few guys unrelentlessly hounding me for the night despite my obvious lack of interest, with my poor straight friends having to act as a barrier to the eager few that refused to get the hint and leave me alone. Needless to say I wont be repeating that experience in a hurry:( so yeah a meet up with some likeminded people in Cork would be cool.

    Have you considered joining the gay youth club in cork? Also the George is a complete ****hole but it's not "the scene" in it's entirety, maybe you should start a new thread about a meet up in Cork?

    hmm i've never really given a youth group any consideration. I dont really have anything in common with any gay guys that i know so I am assuming that any LGBT society would be the same kinda people!!

    that said, i'll give it a think because Im getting bit desperate to find someone smiliar to me to talk to :(

    If you're looking for somebody "similar" to talk to, I'm guessing you mean somebody who's gay, not somebody who happens to share a common interest in, say, sports or music. If that is indeed what you're looking for, then I'd say you do have something in common with the gay guys you know. Even though they may be camp, it doesn't mean they don't have similar problems as yourself.

    Curiosity killed the cat ixoy!!! as said def heading up and know one or two others going as well. There'll def be a nice crowd. look everyone whos ever complained that they just dont meet sound lads can NEVER complain again if they dont attend. And for those who are'nt fully out you should def come to hopefully make a few mates and see that its just a group a "normal" lads meeting up. One other thing if people could try and make it for round 5 would be great.:pac:

    I would check out meetup.com. You can set up a group page and see who joins, eventually scheduling meet ups. You can make it private and restrict it to men 18 and over, or whatever.

    I know there is one there for women on there. I just discovered it and hope to attend that one. I've been living in Dublin for 2 years now and pretty much all my friends are straight, a few bi. It's been even harder as I've been in a relationship for those 2 years and the lets face it, the LGBT scene is very much a singles scene in Dublin.

    Best of luck.
