LBMango Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 When I search for aro meetup groups or similar, all I find are ace meetups. I'm not ace. In particular, part of what i want from an aro meetup is to understand how to navigate being aro but not ace in a culture that sees sex and romance tied in the ways it does... So, are there such groups? A few notes: 1) I'm notoriously bad at google. (I don't know how. I'm a computer programmer. Google just doesn't like me. It's a Thing) So, it's entirely possible that there are things that I didn't find. In fact I assume that's the case... 2) I'm in the Boston area, so anything in that would be awesome. 3) If this isn't a thing, should it be? (I'm not volunteering...)

Which dosn't have that many posts about meetups, TBH. On 9/10/2019 at 1:32 AM, LBMango said: When I search for aro meetup groups or similar, all I find are ace meetups. I'm not ace.

So, are there such groups? If you look for aro meetups using meetup.com there are very few which are actually ace groups or subgroups of ace groups. Similar with aces & aros with additionally their "world map" only really covering two countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which dosn't appear that active and currently unable to offer ace, rather than aspec, events. AUREA lists a group in New Jersey (which may be the New York one). This also does not appear to be especially active either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
