We're based in the San Francisco Bay Area, and are looking to meet more ESL learners AND native English speakers. We aim at being fun, open but also serious in improving our English c …

This is a group for guys looking for drinking buddies. It could involve deep philosophical discussions or just stupid base guy BS. Intended for guys, not girls (though girls can come hit on us if you want). I'm straight; if you're gay that doesn't matter, as long as you don't use it for a forum to pick up guys.  Looking for relationship advice? Go ask a girl.  Want to whine all night about your boss-wife-girlfriend? You have 30 seconds of whining, get it out...then shut up, have a beer, move on …

It doesn't have to cost a lot to have a good time, and you don't have to be on a date to meet someone new.

At the same time we practice English or meet other cultures, we socialize and have fun, and maybe also meet potential language exchan …
