Rise & Shy @ Clapham Common

29/3/2020

Wakey, Wakey, Rise & Shy!

A gay meet-up combining a brisk, morning fun run with a delicious breakfast. Guaranteed to make you feel refreshed and rejuvenated and set you up for the week ahead. And what better date to spring forward than Sunday 29th March, to welcome in the longer daylight hours and much needed sunshine?

Note: since the clocks go forward, I'm scheduling in this meet-up an hour later than the previous 2 Rise & Shy's to give you guys an extra lie-in ;)

Shine & Dine @ The Coriander, Vauxhall

6/3/2020

Hello Guys!

Shine & Dine is a general food and drinks gathering, a chance for us to get together, have a laugh, catch up and make some new friends and acquaintances along the way. A chilled group for gay and bi men to meet each other in a relaxed non-judgemental environment.

For foodies and food-lovers alike, Shine & Dine's past gastronomical ventures have included Pizza Express, Nando's, Las Iguanas, Wahaca and Kimchee.

Shy Bis & Gay Guys

Shyness and social anxiety can hold guys back from forming meaningful platonic and romantic relationships. It can be tough enough ‘coming out’, but being introverted can make it even more of a challenge and sometimes you need a gentle push.

So, whether you consider yourself to be ‘gay’, ‘bi’, ‘bi-curious’, ‘pansexual’ or any other label; whether you are ‘in the closet’, ‘out’ or in the process of ‘coming out’; whether you are vulnerable or feel at risk, this group brings us together. We embrace those who have experienced depression, anxiety, loneliness or isolation, especially if you may be considered on the spectrums of ADHD, Autism & Asperger’s, Bipolar, OCD and/or Schizophrenia.

You may be a highly sensitive person who experiences intense highs and lows to an extreme degree. You may be an artistic Creative with a vivid inner world hidden and locked away. You may feel easily overwhelmed by large groups of people, unsettled by the turbulence of the LGBT dating scene or sidelined/neglected in a whirlwind of rapidly spinning social circles. Anxiety may have even prevented you from moving forwards in friendships and relationships with other people because you are afraid of either hurting or getting hurt. This Meetup group is designed for you!

Have you ever taken years to build up the confidence to go to an event only to be disappointed? Want to attend an LGBT event but held back by your shyness? Simply come as you are. There is no need to pretend anymore. This is a get together for people who do not want to be on their own, to feel comfortable and foster a nice, friendly circle of people. And if you would like to come but do not feel like talking much, then that is cool, too! Take it at your own pace.

Queer Lifestyle

Queer Lifestyle is about more than simply accepting and embracing different gender identities and sexual preferences. It transcends those bubbles. In the sense that people can learn to love and accept themselves, even if they did feel "different", in any way, shape or form. This group encourages people to cultivate self-love through their life experiences and activities.
