Virtual Speed Friending (California Edition)

Making new friends can be challenging in the best of times. When you can’t get out of the house, it’s SO much harder. If social isolation is getting you down or you just want to meet some new people, join us for virtual “speed friending” to meet dozens of new guys in the comfort of your own home. Gay, bisexual, and gay-friendly singles and couples are welcome to participate.  This is not a clothing-optional event and we ask that all participants be appropriately attired.

HOW IT WORKS:
After some introductory comments and guidelines, we will take all of the participants and break them up virtually into smaller groups of 3-4 guys. The hosts will provide an ice breaker question.  You will be in a private online breakout room for five minutes or so with just your small group.  The groups will then be mixed up again and you will continue to meet more people over six rounds.  You will have a chance to talk, listen, and connect on a variety of different topics.  At the end of the session, you will have an opportunity to share contact information privately with those with whom you felt a connection.   Where it goes from there is up to you.   A little like speed dating, but less awkward.

We’d love to see you there! 

All CMG events are drug-free. Sponsored by the CMG Desert Cities Local Events Committee (LEC).
ALL persons identifying as male 18 and older, local or visiting, are welcome. If you would like to propose
an online local event, please fill out the form found at the Contact Local Events Page.


California Men’s Gatherings and its members stand together with our Black brothers in solidarity: Black Lives Matter.  We are with you in this time of pain. We renew our call for racial justice and economic equality. We are committed to listening, learning, understanding, and connecting at the heart in order to bring about the needed changes within our own organization and in society at large.
