Hard To Make Friends As An Adult Houston

To quote Matthew Mcconaughey: "Let me tell you this, the older you do get, the more rules they're gonna try to get you to follow. You just gotta keep livin' man, L-I-V-I-N"

That's pretty much the vibes of this group! Founded in 2019, We go against social norms by believing friends & a social life are a necessity. Life shouldn't be so serious all the time & you're never too old to dress up for a good theme party! Join us to reclaim your social life & explore Houston!

I’ve learned a lot about friendship and running a social group for the last 10+ years and I’m here to tell you these four things:

1. It’s easy to meet new people and have a fun time socializing. It’s hard to make/maintain good friends that “get” you.
2. Friendship is a lifelong journey. It takes time & dedication. Some people are for 50 years, some people are for 50 minutes.
3. There’s a difference between friendship and a social life. Joining this group? That’s part of your social life.
4. Meetup, Eventbrite, Facebook groups, TimeLeft, Sweat Pals, Your local run club: They get friendship & community wrong most of the time. These platforms are simply tools & resources to meet people. The friendship part? That's on each of us individually.

My goal in running this group is to be an authentic voice & space. Our social lives should be fun! I’m also a realist. We don’t have to sugar coat everything. You might come to an event and hate everyone. It happens. Events & networking can be draining. Let's just try to have a fun night a few times a month! If this all speaks to you, join us!

I hate to go against Mcconaughey's stance on rules but we got two of 'em:
1. This group is based on platonic friendship. Do NOT come with the intentions of dating. Don't make it weird
2. Let's be inclusive & accepting & chill. That said, not every event is necessarily for everyone. This is a mostly FREE group - your expectation should match that. Please respect our hosts & attendees.
