We were all a newbie once and don't expect to be greeted the first time you go to a meet. Expect yourself to introduce yourself and start talking.

The first 2-3 s2ki meets I went, I didn't really talk to many members. But as I came out more often, I was more comfortable with the crowd and now all the whores call me out every other night to chill (and not just go to a car meet).

I've met a lot of cool people in this club and good friends too. I hope this first meet does not give you what s2ki is about, because all the people I know in the Bay Area are very friendly and helpful.

errrrr... i think this may have more to do with your social skills (or lack thereof) than anything else.


and to the noob, quite crying like a little B****. Just say whats up to peeps and eventually you'll find some people who will talk to you. Thats how I got started. If they don't want to talk to you then F it. They don't know you and you don't know them so don't expect people to coddle you. When I see a new guy just standing around looking kinda lost I make an effort to say hi and introduce them to people around us but after that that person is on his own to strike up sonversations or what not.

what's there to be afraid of. Your not going to get jacked or punked on. Its all about how you carry yourself.

And to ALX BOI, not everyone at the Milpitas meet meet is from Milpitas. I'm from Frisco and if you have a problem with the "wannabe asian gangters" hit me up sometime. Pretty cocky to be making comments like that you little sh**

I came out once or twice and felt left out, haven't been out since because I had plans but I agree with everyone else, you have to make an effort. I didn't try to talk to anyone and didn't expect people to come talk to me since I didn't even park with the group but everyone here seems nice and friendly at the meets so I haven't given up on getting "in" just yet haha

Yes, it's hard to be the "noob". When we first came to the meet last year, we didn't know anyone. It was awkward but we started out by talking to a couple people and now we have made lots of new friends. You really need to "make" yourself to introduce yourself and strike the conversations. I saw some new faces last night and wondered who they were. For all I know you are a stranger just walking around. Going to events is great way to get to know people more.
Can't force you to come to the meet again if you don't feel like it. However if you are in the bay area, I don't think there is any meet other than this.
Have fun with your S.

I'm truly at a loss for words.

I feel as if I have failed in life, I've left a man in battle who I've never
met before and he's accusing me and my friends of being like an "ivy
league group without the secret handshake" Hmmmm?

Our so called "ivy league group without the secret handshake" hasn't
grown to this size with luck. We are all truly nice people. You can't
possibly expect to show up your first time and feel like you feel in your
Duc club, group or "ivy league group without the secret handshake".

The job you must take on is going to be tough, it might even bring you
one step closer to manhood but I can assure you this, it's well worth it.




Ok, seriously though, you need to put a little more effort in this
relationship if you want it to last.


"cool enough atmosphere" guess we aint cool?


Enjoy life to the fullest, drive an S and be Superior

Bwhahahaa that sounds appetizing J/K...

Bro sorry you had a bad experience at the Boba meet but take it from me, the S2ki crew are a pretty cool group of peeps. When I say cool I mean guys who:

1. Set up more meets and events than any forum PERIOD.
2. Quick to answer questions be it car, tech, girl, food etc.
3. Will go out of their way to help if it's within their reach.
4. Joke with you, even clown you in good fun.
5. Drive crazy distances if they hear of another S2000 meet!

Do you remember how it was in school? I do. You go in as a Freshman and none of the upper classmen would come and say hi or whatever. Is it because they genuinely dislike you? Maybe, but I bet it's because they don't know you which is why they don't warm up that easy. Who does right? Then you start taking classes together, after school sports and sooner or later you'll find friends fast and why? Because they all know who you are. Seriously, if someone came knocking at your door would you 'high five' him without knowing who's behind? You gotta lay down your guard, let them know who you are. If you're a noob then say hey I'm new here. Do you post often on the forum? If so tell them hey I'm so and so and I bet peeps will say hey I know you... So come out one more time. In the past 5 years I've met more friends here and in other parts of the country than I ever would in school who've been nothing but solid! PEACE!
