I googled "Gorean Meetup" - it did not result in anything "happy"... although the first meeting og Goreans in Blatimore was listed.

Perhaps this termininology is inapproopriate?

http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Gorean+meetup%22&hl=en&lr=lang_en&newwindow=1&safe=off&start=0&sa=N

Also - meta listings such as DSF do not have very much in the direction of Gorean Meetings... does anyone have a solid Link and/or group that would have such a olisting available without more undue searching at random?

I mean - after all, even if they are getting together in someone's house, there has to be a means of getting the word out - unless of course, they are not interrested in members attending who would be interested in such get togethers.

I entertain in my house fairly regularly (monthly or so). I certainly don't advertise these publically. I invite people that, in my estimation, belong there. I think that most Goreans who host gatherings like that in their homes do so by invitation only. It is a tradition that goes back to the ancient Greeks (they called them symposium which, contrary to the modern definition, really means convivial party where there is a free exchange of ideas). They are quite enjoyable. AngryLibrarian, among others here, has been to my place, which reminds me that I need to make some more of that curry shrimp that we had again soon.

There used to be a group in Dallas that held public gatherings with open invitation lists. I'm not sure that they do anymore. I would imagine that they ran into all kinds of problems with people turning up who really shouldn't have been there. If you want to meet Goreans in that kind of setting, LoD, you're going to have to convince some that it'd be a good idea to include you. You're not off to a roaring start.

John

P.S. - The best references for people (of any lifestyle) are not from individuals who are also strangers (ie: a reference from a stranger for a stranger has no value). They're from legitimate and recognized real time lifestyle groups (whether they be BDSM or Gorean).

quote:

I am saying that one person's fantasy is another person's reality.


Perhaps you came late to this thread, but this assertion has been asked and answered. Bottom line, it's true that some people fantasize about what others have already done (I fantasize about having a hole-in-one for instance, something that has been done tens of thousands of times). On the other hand, there are limits to what CAN be done. If my fantasy were to to have a hole-in-one on all 18 holes of Augusta National, we might decide that it was an impossibility (it has never been done, and is beyond the bounds of comprehension that it ever will be).

And there's the rub. Not all fantasies CAN become realities. Not all fantasies ARE possible. And not all possibilities are very probable either (it's possible that somewhere in the universe there exists a planet made of green cheese, but that is exceedingly improbable).

What you go on to describe in your post about marriage falls into the category of "belief" or "custom" or "ritual". And frankly, I have no issue with anyone's beliefs, customs or rituals. I find the wide varieties to be fascinating. When their marriage belief (or custom or ritual) begins to involve unicorns, I'd say that crosses the line into "fantasy".

I'm sure we understand one another now.

Status: offline 		Would be comical if it weren't so sad. I remembered the name correctly, Rover. It's the Rochester Kink Society. here's their website:

http://www.rochesterkinksociety.com/mms_v2/main.php

I don't remember the names of the folks there. You said that you might know some of them. Do you? Don't know if they'd remember me or not after these months. I was there with Taggard and Ellen. If you ask about the guy who looked like a big biker with Taggard and Ellen, they might remember me, then gain, maybe not. The guy who introduced himself as the leader of the group (president, overlord, poobah?) looked to be in his late fifties to early sixties, about 5'10", fit, with a shaved (or completely bald) head. I remember that he said that he used to live here in Southern Cal before he moved to Rochester.

I will give you a hundered dollars (swear to god, just tell me where to mail it) if you would please, please, stop this petty sniping and sniveling over who's been to the most fucking munches. Sorry to be harsh, but it's really getting to be a drag.

Status: offline 		What's ironic, Rover, is that you and your buddy try the tack of claiming that there aren't really any Gorean gatherings, and then when you are shown that there are, you decide you take some other tack. Have you really nothing better to do than sit in this section and try to run other people down? Do you have any idea how small that makes you look?

Truly, my friend, to look any more comical you'd have to wear a clown nose. Maybe you should just give up while you have some shread of dignity left, or is it already too late for that? Yeah, Goreans do sometimes hold workshops in the same building where BDSM stuff goes on. Amazing as it may seem, the owners of those places don't faint dead away when you tell them what you'd like to talk to people about for a couple of hours in their room. I have to hand it to you. Of all of those of your Ilk that I've seen over the years, you're coming damn close to being the poster child, and believe me, that's quite a dinstinction.

Status: offline 		If it's a drag, don't bother replying. A Gorean freeman surely has the strength and self control not to let someone like me manipulate him.

And the issue has never been who has been to the most munches. Heck, I just wanted to see if you had ever been to ONE munch. You speak so "knowledgeably" about BDSM, it's simply a wonder as to where you derived that knowledge. Evidently it was from an unmemorable munch in Rochester this past February.

And I'd be pleased to forward my address, phone number, etc. I'm not hiding. I even invited you to be my guest in my home (or pay for hotel accomodations if you prefer), pay for round trip airfare for you and your slave, and to have you put on a workshop for our groups here in Pittsburgh. I don't see what your complaint is, other than I may be a bit too outgoing and open, whereas you obviously prefer isolation.
