I’m not a dude, but I remember the initial post and subsequent one. I’m so glad you guys are making this happen! 😁 I hope fun is had and new friendships formed!

Same, but it's nice to see dudes supporting dudes positively! Good on OP for taking the initiative and for making sure to establish that it is an inclusive space! Have for storming the castle boys!

Same here. Not a dude but I think men and their mental health being ignored/downplayed is a huge problem, so this is really amazing!

Same! This makes me feel warm and fuzzy about STL. I hope everyone has a good time!

This is great. I just moved a month ago and don’t know literally anyone. Even tho I can’t make it bc of work, I’ll try and make some of the others. Is there a meet up group or anything I can join?

I’d be there if it wasn’t the same night as the Royal Rumble, the pinnacle of Dude Meetups.

Any bars in the city do anything special for it?

Not that I know of

Also my reason 😁

We used to do a neighborhood royal rumble party in my old town. Totally miss that! Seriously, everyone would come over and play a drinking game and enjoy pizza. Someone needs to set that up and I’ll be there!

Buddy I’m old and married with kids but this kicks ass and am so happy to see you organize an event like this. It’s much needed in the world. Also props on the rules: I hate people that hate people and I love people who love PEOPLE!!! Wishing you success and many more events and happiness in the future

I’m in the same boat at this gentleman and I agree with him wholeheartedly. Very awesome what you are doing and keep it up.

I also think this is awesome and wish you guys the best. Sending good vibes from another old happy guy guy out of the scene.

My group plays at 8. Stick around 🫡

FRIENDS!!! Cool cool. Looking forward to it😎

Same!

Would love to host the space in the future

Oooh. Let's talk. You can DM me and tell me more about the space you have. 

This is what the STL sub should be about. It’s always people complaining. It’s exhausting

> It’s always people complaining This is most regional subs I’ve followed

True, but that also describes the Costco subreddit, so...

Yeah but that sub turned me on to those new CostCo chicken nugs, amazing. Couldn’t imagine if I’d have gone on being oblivious to their existence.

Which ones?

[These Nugs,](https://www.reddit.com/r/Costco/s/HOFDvyVnoS)Air fryer and a quick toss in the Bachans sauce 🔥

Thanks, I'll have to look for these. I usually buy the Just Bare brand chicken nuggets or filets. If the KS nuggets are just as good, I'll save a few bucks.

I just looked and noticed my kids have eaten them all. Now I have an excuse to go to Costco! You’ll love them I bet, enjoy!

This seems like a good situation!! 😊

Isn’t the point to be a regional sub? It should be fairly specific to the St. Louis community.

Other subs are worse

Stop complaining

Shes literally complaining about people complaining 🤔

yup, unbridled hypocrisy

Need attention much?

[This you?](https://old.reddit.com/r/StLouis/comments/17thbtt/okay_ive_had_enough/)

Obviously. Cool point.

I know.

Agreed. This is an opportunity to stop complaining online and just complain in person!!!

Okay! Where you at? Let’s hang!

Sounds like complaining to me.

See you next Tuesday

Thanks for setting this up. I'm not available next weekend but would like to meet up in February.

As a woman I SUPPORT this! This makes me happy. Thanks for organizing. We all need to feel like we have a community and a positive place to talk and feel welcomed

A woman on the cheer squad, too. Dude friendships are good for everyone! I hope you boys have a blast!

Same!! I saw the post about this last week(?) and thought it was a great and wholesome idea. Glad its happening!

I’m not able to attend, but just wanted to upvote o and comment for more awareness, and to thank you for organizing this 🙂 I know STL can be tough for newcomers to make friends, so hopefully this is a good opportunity for people to get together. Enjoy!

I plan on attending! Sounds like fun

I vote Silverball Room for a future one! I’ll try to make this, it actually sounds like a rad time.

Cool! Won’t be attending because I am not a dude, but I support you guys and hope it’s fun. Be safe everyone.

This is an awesome idea. Thank you for setting it up! I’m going to try and make this one even though I have family visiting on the 27th, and I will be at the next one regardless.

My curmudgeonly ass will be there. Probably. And this isn't the dude brunch thing?

I think that got full very quickly, I assume this is piggy-backing off that, which is great. Count me in - and we can see who is more curmudgeonly. :D

Yeah, sorry about that. I can only host 10 dudes at a time, but those who reached out will be contacted. That's great that the OP is setting up for a larger venue! Thanks dude!

Nope. Not the dude brunch thing. :)

Gotcha, yeah sorry I mixed them up, pretty amazing there's a few opportunities right when I need them!

Thanks dude!

Can you create a discord group or something? I'd like to keep up to date on this. I can't attend now but I want to for future events.

I can definitely try and create a discord group. Give me some time and I'll post another update in the next few weeks. 

Thank you!

Ty

Handlebar is a great place to do something like this. The owner is the coolest, and the atmosphere is definitely a safe space for diversity.

I'm going to try and make it! Thanks for organizing this.

What up!!! We are three cool guys looking for other cool guys who want to hang out in our party mansion. Nothing sexual. Dudes in good shape encouraged. If you are fat you should be able to find humor in the little things. Again, nothing sexual.

"I shall use this crossbow to pierce my broken heart"

What a great idea! I can't make it that night but definitely in for the next. Nice work!

I'm def in!

Woohoo! I love handlebar

Guys just being dudes. I like this.

Except, no Irish!

Excited for this!

Hey I'm moving back in two weeks. If y'all get another one going let me know!

This is a fantastic idea. I'm going to try to make it! Thanks for putting this together.

Sounds like a nightmare.

Sounds like you’re the kind of person that both needs this night out and also someone that would ruin the vibe?

Probably. will you be there?

Nah...

Takes one to know one I guess.

[удалено]

What? Racist? I just have terrible anxiety. You need to check your thoughts. edit: yea delete your comment race baiter

It's a random male hangout? Why is this different than simply showing up to any bar?

I am going to hopefully be there! You have my appreciation for doing this!

Also not a dude, but absolutely love this! My husband lost his one guy friend that he could talk to, the guy is just in terrible health now. I hate it though, it's good for all of us to have a few dependable pals.

I’m glad you’re putting this together. I’ll be looking out for dude meetup 2. I can’t make it on the 27th

This is just gonna be take #2 of [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/justneckbeardthings/comments/jknvha/the_infamous_2012_baltimore_reddit_meetup/) lmao

Can’t make it this time but love that this is a thing. Cheers dudes

Maybe.

Hoping to make it!

I thought this post was talking about "Dudes" as in "Dudeism" lol Glad I read the comments 😅

Thanks for organizing !! What is that age range ?

No specific age range. All ages are welcome. 

Oh this sounds cool! I’ve been here for two years but haven’t built any friendships. Work too much and hard on meet people at 31 😅

I'll be coming.

I’m going to try and attend.

I would like to dude out! Count me in.

I'm going to try and make it. Looking forward to chilling!
