So, on the subject of making new friends, where are the MNers?!

I love MN because clever, witty, sharp and worldly women seem to be overrepresented. But there's still room for everyone! However, in life I'm finding that I hold back a lot of myself for fear of offending or upsetting others - for example, by nature my sense of humour is very dark, I swear terribly and I am very open about myself and my past. But even with some mum friends I meet very regularly I keep much of this back. I've learned to spot the nervous laugh or the blank look that means whoever I'm talking to isn't on my wavelength. I feel like I want to be able to confide and enjoy girls nights out but similar people don't seem to be out there. Maybe it's cos they're all on here?!

Have you tried looking in your local section, or meet ups, to see if there is anyone else close to you?

Yes, I've met 3 or 4 but we're quite rural here (small town) so no known MNers in the locale. Not that MN use is evidence of being a superior being but it's a start.
