I Like Red (and white) Wine is a group for GAY wine and food lovers. The idea is to provide an alternative outlet for GAY MEN to meet to pursue this interest and to also provide other social opportunities. Learning about legs and noses is great but getting together because you simply enjoy wine/food and to meet people is better. This isn't so much about learning but getting together because of a common theme. The idea is to create a community with a real life outlet. Hopefully, we will be able t …

Powerful, beautiful, successful and feminine! Do you think of yourself as a Professional Lipstick Lesbian and wonder where all the other Chicago lipstick lesbians are? Well we hope to meet and congregate here with this group. The first and foremost aim of this group is to have fun! Do you enjoy mani’s and pedi’s, current fashion trends, local trendy restaurants, make up, heels, fine wine, live music, an occasional night out dancing? We are a very small, selective group of attractive, 25 - 50, fe …

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 …

If you are a gay male 21 and older and live in Northen Cook, Lake or McHenry counties in Illinois or southern Kenosha county in Wisconsin, you may feel isolated from other gay men who live nearby, because you do not know how to get in touch with them. If you are tired of driving 50 miles south to Chicago or almost as far north to Milwaukee just to be around other gay people, then this is the local group for you. This is primarily a gay male social group, but we are open to all positive attitude …

I must preempt this description by stating this is not about hooking up or learning skills about hooking up more. I wish to form a group which is more introspective in nature, one which transcends the usual motives for intercourse such as reproduction, bragging rights, and filling vast emotional voids. Sex is a complex topic, one which men need to learn about. This group ultimately about male vitality, and what needs to be accomplished in order to feel our best. There is a profound link between …

Inspired by the crazy group on How I Met Your Mother... We’re a fun, rowdy bunch… Think... that big, random group of crazy friends in college that always had the best stories. We're 25-40 mostly, men & women, gay, straight, single, coupled… as long as you can hold your own at a Karaoke bar, tell a good dirty joke or pull the crazy answer to that final trivia question out of your a**, you’ll fit right in. I have a feeling you'll enjoy Bros & Chicks if... You find the only word in the Urban Dicti …

Gaymer Nationals is a Chicago based group with worldwide reach who love to game and host extremely large meetups. We get together on a semi-regular basis and have three day mega meetups several times a year where people fly in from all over the country and from across the pond to meet other gaymers, socialize, play games and more.

Do something.  Learn something.  Share something. Change something…. and play games!  We remember times we've had game night with friends, and now, perhaps game night with Meetup friends works even better.  Join for an easy evening of board games.  We plan to hang at a bar, sip at a coffee house, lounge on a friend's sofa with sparkling conversation and a languid competitive effort.  Break out.  Toss some dice.  Join us for some family-fun styled adult diversion.

This group was created as a way for LGBT people on the chain to get together for skiing, wake boarding, tubing or tying off together on the chain and making new friends :) We hope to make lots of new friends!

We are a non-for-profit meetup group developed to support the little Queer Film Festival in Chicago. Our goal is to foster a community of passionate volunteers to acquire and showcase quality queer films. Mainstream theaters are hard to come by. We seek small, intimate venues such as wine bars, music lounges and art galleries conducive to social/mingling and make high quality independent programs more accessible to our community. Here are some of our ideas of future meet ups: 1. Women's movie ni …

This group's primary focus is to provide safe, non-judgmental social experiences for Chicago-based HIV+ men, seeking other HIV+ men for friendship, dating, playmates, or a LTR.

I couldn't find at meet up group that met on the north side of Chicago in Lakeview, Uptown or Edgewater at the times that I was available.  So, I decided to start my own. All people are welcome to join!  We are always looking to make new friends. We have two regularly scheduled meet ups.  There is one every other week on Sunday afternoons.  The other is on Monday evenings on the opposite weeks (so there is only one meet up per week).
