“.
. .Lawrence, 30, an investment banker who joined Social Circles three
years ago . . finds that it is hard to get friends together to do
something as complicated as whitewater rafting. But on Social Circles,
he said, "If you want to do something, here it is, you go."

"Social
Circles, a New York singles group, has seen membership among 35- to
44-year-old men soar 25-fold since it started in 1997, while women
in the same age group grew at about half that rate."
|
|
| |
|
"At
Social Circles, which hosts group events like Pictionary and bowling,
membership has jumped more than 30 percent in the past three months.

"...my
second activity, a salsa dancing lesson at a TriBeCa studio was great.
...the activities were a lot of fun."

|
"The
common ground ('Have you tried that balloon-sculpture class?') does
give you a reason to talk to someone, if you're one of those people
who needs a reason. (And yes, I am.) I've got five months to go, and
tons of activities."

"Social
Circles is just another way busy urbanites can use their time more
effectively. New Yorkers use services for everything - grocery shopping,
dry-cleaning, working out, personal shopping," de Lasa explains.
"So why not sit back and allow our service to plan your social
life for you?"
|

| |
|
"It's
better as a way to find people that have the same interests as you,
because the activities range from winetasting to skydiving. It's sort
of like camp for adults."
|
|
| |
|
"It
was like going to a friend's wedding and being seated at a table with
five other bright charismatic guests."
|
|
| |
|
"Social
Circles takes care of everything. They research activities, set up
the outings, and arrange the groups. It's great for people too busy
plan for themselves."
|
|
| |
|
"Social
Circles is the new alternative to smoky bars - if what you're looking
for is to meet interesting people and take advantage of New York City
then this is for you."
|
|
| |
|
"Social
Circles is an organization with a full program of events to help you
meet new people. Events like wine-tastings, hiking trips and cooking
classes are just some examples of the activities they offer."
