Anyone notice the new (male) member? Lol...awkward much?
Re: Meetup.com
I had to do a double take, I was like wait...wth? How did he even find our group? I understand that meetup.com recommends our group to other meetup.com members, but he isn't involved with any other groups.
Can't wait to meet my baby boy!
Yeah....I was wondering how he found the group too. And why his wife wouldn't sign up for it when he should have noticed it was ALL women! LOL

if i can be totally honest here, i was really afraid of this happening. how do we know the guy is actually marries and he is who he says he is? i was really hoping this group was going to be private and by invitation only. I mean, isn't it why it's called "Phoenix Nesties?" Shouldn't it be for us girls, here, on the Nest? I was freaked out about the fact that it was initially completely open and that anyone could see our info, and that is why I email Yara about it.
Thoughts???
Can't wait to meet my baby boy!
why would anyone join to pick up chicks we're all clearly married and our get togethers are girl or couple themed. i too thought it was just for the nesties.
i don't like how anyone can just join

FYI: I sent Yara a message with the concerns. I'm sure she will make the members apply and be approved.
Although, Regina is in that group and she is not a nestie. But she is super amazing. So making it a nestie only group may hinder our chances of meeting other cool people in the valley. It does list the group as a newlywed/couples group, so when you search for those it will come up. Not everyone reads everything on a webpage, so it makes sense that that guy joined. He did say that he and his wife moved here from Ohio in 2004, so he isn't trying to pick up chicks. His wife might be like Cam, a total homebody, so he trys to get her out like I do with Cam. Just a thought.
So I do know that Yara said that she can "kick" people out of the meetup group if need be.
I'm totally with you on this one...I joined to meet you cool chicks who chat on here...not random people, you know? (I know, I know, I haven't actually been to a GTG yet, but I WILL!! I promise!!)
Honestly I was thinking about deleting my info on meetup.com... I like the idea of a secret FB group better, or just trying to arrange GTG on the board.
There are two people that I have met at the meet and greet gtg's that are not nesties. We're just overthinking this now because it's a man.
And we need to remember that Yara pays for this out of pocket, out of her hard earned pocket. So we can't just ditch it. Yara can kick the guy out if it's that big of a deal. And like I said, I emailed her with the concerns, and I'm sure she will change the settings.
This and as a side note no one said anything when a man joined with his an d his wifes name on there. I am sure Yara will have this under control soon enough
I didn't know that that site cost anything...
Anyways, I get what you guys are saying, but at the same time you also have to understand that some people don't feel comfortable with the way the group is going. Its not what we intended it to be, which was a group for *Nesties*, not random peeps all over the internet.
Sorry if I offend anyone with that statement, and I think what's in my head is more logical, but I'm really tired and can't make it come out the right way.

I too would prefer a facebook group. The fact that people will *know* that a group of ladies will be and when... kinda freaks me out. I originally thought that the group was private and had to be "found" by a link, not just search and join.
I agree with DMW, while I understand that Yara can kick people out- they can join again under a diff handle. In this day in age, you can't be too careful.
No offense taken, and I do understand what people are saying. But I also think there are other things to think about before dropping meet up all together. I'm just gonna feel bad for Yara if a bunch of people delete their accounts because of this one guy. If you go through the members of that group there are other people not from the nest, but we didn't have concerns then. How do/did you know that I wasn't a weirdo? Or Tay? or Jenn? I just think we're jumping the gun here. We always go out in groups in public. so while i understand the concerns, I think we should be a little more open.
Not trying to offend or fight with people, just stating my thoughts.
I actually noticed that a long time ago, and I did think that was a little strange, but at first I thought maybe they were people who just lurked and didn't post on the board. But I'm realizing now thats not the case, people are finding the group in other ways.
Can't wait to meet my baby boy!
this... i haven't been comfortable on there for a long time.
Also, Jillian, you're right. Until we meet each and everyone on here, we'll never really know. But the fact that we've all been talking on here helps a little bit. Honestly, I've been on the knot/nest since 2005 and I've met some great girls.
I think a Facebook Group is a great idea. I'll get right on it. LoL
