Meet up allows people to gather for community which we all seek. However, it is getting too expensive to host a group. It is asking for money just to see who is coming to an event. It blurrs out pi... See more

Activities for your dog and you

I love all the activities that are available. There's something for everyone. I especially love the dog training that I signed up with through The Responsible Pit Owner's group. Also, my dog and I LOVE the Pack Walks-which are free. All dogs are welcome, not only Pit Bulls! I learned so much from both the training and the pack walks.

Horrible billing practices

Horrible billing practices. I've seen this company become more and more greedy over the decades. I thought I had cancelled Meetup because I did not enjoy anything I attended. Apparently it only cancelled the group I was in and not Meetup itself. I have been being billed $9.99 for months and Never once received a receipt. All of a sudden this month I get a receipt and realize I'm being charged. When I contacted Meetup they basically said, "too bad".

Not inclusive and safe just money making

This used to be a good site but no longer. They are trying to trick you into paying plans and some of the groups and group organisers are very dodgy putting pressure on members to attend events to make money etc. In particular for vulnerable people this is not a safe space!

As a a newbie to the group and area I found everyone very welcoming and kind and enjoyed my discussions with some about Dostoevsky and Clint Burton and others about Megadeth. I have a bit of a low-tolerance for crowds so I left early but I look forward to further events, particularly now that I know some people

I want people to beware of if a person reaches out to meet you in messages. Don’t respond. I have had 5 attractive women reach out to me and “ want to be friends or get a drink “ they then instantly ask to talk only on “ Signal, Telagram or what up “ the. They try to rob or manipulate you out of money.
Good site, but only talk to people in person. Only a fool trusts a picture and words.
