Top Ten Ways GirlFriendCircles Helps You Make New Friends:
- We build friendships in small groups. Small talk, hand shaking, working a
crowd is not our cup of tea. Nor is writing back-and-forth in cyberspace but never
actually meeting fulfilling what we want. Neither is trying to hold an awkward conversation
with a stranger as though we’re on a date. So we meet each other in small groups
so we can best determine who we connect with best!
- We provide structure. In our ConnectingCircles we have a popular process
where you’re intentionally sharing fun but easy questions with each other so you’re
not at risk of any one person doing all the talking or of trying to think up conversation
starters. We’ve got you covered so that you leave feeling known and have a good
sense of each other!
- We give you all control. Some social clubs are all about one person planning
all the events—this is not one of them. Our community is like a co-op and we think
we’re much stronger because we have so many different interests when we open it
up to everyone! All girlfriends can host any events you want. You can connect with
anyone you want, whenever you want. You can attend as much or as little as you want.
You control your process.
- We understand chemistry. There are few of our current friends that we would
have picked if we had been left to choose them from profiles alone! And yet that
is what most social sites rely on! We provide that capability, but more importantly
is the opportunity to participate in local events and meet people where you can
choose for yourself who you want to get to know better.
- We value depth. Our goal isn’t just for you to meet new people—we want you
to actually create friendships that last! We expect our members to be consistent
with each other so that a real friendship can form and we’ll do all we can to help
ensure that the process is meaningful and fun!
- We are easy and comfortable. No one wants a long process, awkward events
or a huge time commitment. We’re with you on that! We try to automate as much as
we can and do as much of the work for you so that your energy can be spent on getting
to meet awesome women.
- We are way fun. We meet in ConnectingCircles at different cafes around the
city so you get to try out new places, plus all the events listed are from the other
women in the community so you’re bound to be exposed to great events and opportunities
you wouldn’t have known about otherwise!
- We attract high caliber women. Because we charge a nominal fee (way cheaper
than dating sites and health clubs!) we help weed out those who don’t really value
the importance of friendship. The women who join have had good girlfriends in their
lives and know the worth of developing local friendships!
- We provide research, inspiration and resources. Shasta, a life coach and
founder of GFC, blogs about twice a week for women on the subject of friendships—helping
highlight the significance of it (did you know that no other factor makes such a
difference on your health as your circle of friends?) and the latest research and
issues that will help foster healthy friendships in your life!
- We are super effective. Over 92% of everyone who has gotten involved has
reported finding at least 2 potential friends! It’s a bit like anything in life
(i.e. job hunting, house searching, dating) where sometimes you have to attend more
than one Circle to find your group of friends, but we offer so many options and
attract such awesome women that if this is important to you—it will work!
We think we’re awesome and hope you do too!
