No problem.
I was at only one "AH" beers, but they seem to be the replacement for Boards-wide events, and the crowd was really mixed. Slightly more fellas than girls though, which is normal for an internet meet-up anywhere I'd say.
In fact, I'd say the crowd at that was definitely in the mid 20s-mid 30s range.
The reason for that, I think, is that the 18-23 crowd are not as confident of going into a group of people they've not met before, while the 25-35 crowd are probably more likely to be at a loose end, given that some of their "real friends" will be coupled up, people out of long term relationships they were in since their early 20s that broke up etc etc, also, more confidence in going to these type of things.
It took me something like 4 years of posting on here before I went to a beers, and Boards was much smaller than it is now.0 -

Except for the Ladies Loung who have banned men from events in a pathetic,childish move.
I lol'd when i noticed the failure of thier "women's only" dancing meet-up.
Yeah, but women can ban men from such events and not worry about it as men are everywhere gagging for vagina and wimminz be knowing it.
If men could go out in gangs and know for sure that groups of cock hungry women would inevitably be eyeing them up, they'd be at the same craic.
Course, I have that problem anyway, but not all men be as lucky as me

I must go to this "AH" beers...ibarelycare wrote: »At the last AH beers there were as many girls as guys...possibly more actually! A group of them came from tLL and there was a big enough amount of people in their early 20s there too. I'd say the dominating agegroup was 25-30, but still a really good mix!0 -

Anyone ever go to one these beer nite thingys for internet people without actually knowing any of them?
Most of people on here seem like would be a laugh but ya would feel like a spa turning up and being like uhhh hi im angerfist...........
I know the next AH beers is on June 26th but ive a date with Stevie Wonder that night
And anyway i dunno if i could just break into a group of people drinkin on me own if i dont know ANY of them Ha i have never done that always had least one person i knew.0 -
Well thats the whole point of beers, everyone has a "first time" and once you get over it you either decide this is not for me and continue posting on boards, or decide "this is fupping awesome" and continue posting on boards...50/50 situation. My first ever beers was with around 120+ people back when the beers were site-wide events, and I was pretty young at 21/22...talk about nervous and not having met anyone there in RL before...*angerfist2009 wrote: »Anyone ever go to one these beer nite thingys for internet people without actually knowing any of them?

Beers are usually fun events, for drinkers and non-drinkers alike who just love good company. And about "not knowing anyone?" sure you recognise names here, posters who catch your attention and people you'd like to meet at a beers...just keep an eye out and decide in your own time:)
*That first beers was very good btw and got to meet many people I still see posting here today:)0 -

At the last one there were loads of people who were chatting in the beers thread who'd never been to beers before, so people arranged to meet up in groups of 2 or 3 beforehand for a drink, or even just down the road from the pub so they wouldn't have to walk in on their own Once the venue and everything is decided, just get talking to people in the thread, there'll more than likely be people in the same situation as you! 0 -

There's a really mixed age group. I've only been to one and the ages ranged from 18-40s, with the majority probably being mid-late 20s.0 -
