Go Back

We want to help you to fit in. FMSD is a HUGE, swarming and somewhat intimidating group, but we aren't a clique. We WANT new members, and at every opportunity. Each one of us started out as shy, unsure and wondering if we would find people of like-mind. We have all fit in just dandy, and so will you.

Here is how:

The best thing to do is to come early (around 6:30PM) on any Wednesday. There will be friendly folks who will greet you (but you have to walk up to them and say howdy). They will invite you to help set up chairs for the Men's Discussion, starting at 7PM. You can quietly observe during the discussion, or you can jump right in - we won't pressure you either way. Just be aware that your shyness will pass very quickly. We are friendly, warm and nice guys. You'll see.

The Men's Discussions were created as a safe, quiet, non-bar-oriented way for folks to actually TALK about things that really matter, and build real friendships in a highly scattered Internet age. There will be optimal social opportunities during the break, and after the meeting is done.

Our other social events can be wonderful as well, but can be a bit LARGE and may be intimidating for shy newbies.  Don't fret - Just come up to the folks who seem to be running things. They are gracious hosts, and can get you connected!

Work with us, so that we can enjoy your friendship for years to come!
