I got the link from somebody on this forum so signed up to it last year and registered my various interests. The problem is that you have to pay to actually be put in touch with like minded people in your local area and since it's an American website I'm a bit dubious of trading in currency other than my own. I have bought things on the website but only in pounds sterling.

I'm evolving, changing, going through personal development - call it what you like. There are things I'd like to do but find it a bit difficult on my own so usually have to attend a camp once a week in the West Country. I need buddies where I live. For example I'm interested in circus skills and have been to a skills share workshop a few times but usually I end up having to force myself as I'm quite a beginner and nobody there is obliged to teach people anything - it's purely voluntary and it depends on luck if anybody is willing to spare time with you as well as practice their own skills.

The only other alternative is to post up adverts in various places with the words "Coach wanted for ......". Thought about evening classes but they are quite expensive for what they offer as classes tend to be too large and impersonal and it requires commitment. I prefer privately run intensive courses even though it costs more financially but is still better value.

No I haven't used "meetups'.....but I thought I give you a cheer


Good for you !


For me...I'd guess it would be a waste of money to use an american site?....and perhaps it might be better to use that money to put a small ad in the local papers. ie..."wanted..friendship  for social activities". I'd like someone to jog with during daylight hours - early morning would suit me best....I 've seen heaps of ads for that kind of thing in the papers.


Hope you get the tuition you'd like! Circus skills sounds fantastic!..very creative.

--------------------------------------------------------------
In exchange for obedience, Christianity promises salvation in an afterlife; but in order to elicit obedience through this promise, Christianity must convince people that they need salvation, that there is something to be saved from. Christianity has nothing to offer a happy person living in a natural, intelligible universe. If Christianity is to gain a motivational foothold, it must declare war on earthly pleasure and happiness, and this, historically, has been its precise course of action. In the eyes of Christianity, woman(man) is sinful and helpless in the face of God, and is potential fuel for the flames of hell. Just as Christianity must destroy reason before it can introduce faith, so it must destroy happiness before it can introduce salvation.

-- George H Smith, Atheism: The Case Against God

I wouldn't mind paying to use a UK site but honestly who needs to pay to join a site. Myspace is free and pays for itself with advertising. There is one good reason for asking people to pay to join a forum or contact site and that is to keep riff raff out. One forum I used to be very active got hi-jacked by flamers and internet keyboard warriors and so is now charging ? a month to join.



There is one alternative and that is to subscribe to a periodical that specialises in the topic of interest and watch out for adverts or even place one myself.
