I started this group because there were no other groups in this area for me. I'm not religious and the only other group I found was not accepting new members. So, I started my own group. Members in this groups are: - 27-40 years of age - Loves to drink and have a baby making problem - Open-minded, funny and has a go-getter, no hold back attitude - If you're crass, bring it on.   I moved to the burbs when we found out we were having a baby and left behind a dynamic and exciting life in the city ( …

For as long as I can remember, I never wanted to have children. Fortunately, I met and married a man that felt the same way. We love our nieces and nephews, but breathe a sigh of relief when we get home. As we've gotten older, we have found it increasingly harder to meet other couples who feel the same way. We enjoy the time we spend with our friends with children, but are hoping to find others that share the freedom of our lifestyle. We moved to Chicago two and a half years ago and love li …

Welcome all! Often on Friday nights, I find myself wanting to get a bunch of friends together for an hour or two of great food, wine, and conversation. What a great way to combine all these things by organizing this group. I don't like being exclusive because I'm interested in meeting people of all types. However, it will maximize the fun if we are all young (20's) and in some sort of professional field. Of course, a love of Chicago's best restaurants and willingness to explore new things is im …
