This group will ideally bring together women 40+ interested in making new friendships, especially by getting involved in things new and exciting!! It can be hard to forge new friendships over 40, and hopeful this Meetup can provide a place for that. There are plenty of Meetups out there for drinking and singles and book clubs (and they can be great!); this one is for exercising your physcical AND mental muscle! It is all about making real, long lasting friendships, fitness (or working on getting …

From Andersonville to Winnetka and from East Rogers Park to Des Plaines, we are women 40+ socializing and shopping, eating, drinking and playing together because everything is more fun when done with friends.

It seems all the singles Meetup groups in the suburbs tend to consist mostly of fifty-somethings with a couple divorces under their belts and their kids married or off to college.  Leaving the younger crowd forced to head to Chicago for social activities with others in their age range.  Not that there's anything wrong with folks over a certain age, they're as active and vivacious as the rest of us.  Sometimes more-so.  We just want to hang with people of a similar age. There are a lot of young s …

"let's get together for affordable activities, hiking, movies, ? camping, cooking together, book club, cultural events, making new friends.

I am married, so it's not a group to go looking for guys. I'm looking for health-conscious women who like to socialize in healthy ways,explore n …

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.

This group has merged with Gen X/Y Social between the cities - please join our group on that meetup site instead.  Thanks! I have found it difficult to meet young people in their 30s and 40s along the Illinois/Wisconsin border. It seems that most groups in this area are under 40 or over 50 and forgot about the awesome kids who grew up in the 80 and 90s listening to grunge and alternative. Whether single, divorced, newly separated, or in a relationship, we often don't have enough time to find pe …

Hi ladies! I reside in the Lake County, IL. area, & have found that there are not many if any interesting groups on this site for those of us in the far north west suburbs. All the great groups of people appear to be located in Chicago! I myself did not wish to travel all the way to the Chicago land area on a weekly or monthly basis to meet new people, or to make a new friend, especially being that the individuals in the group that I had attended did not wish to do the same for me! NO bueno! Thu …
