An app called 'Hey Vina'

in General Chat
Hey,
So basically awhile ago someone i knew was speaking about an app called 'Hey Vina' And they said something like - "Basically is an app for females to make friends with other females in your area. And connect. Is a welcoming place" - the person who uses it says it good and genuine. & with people who just want to make friends & are friendly. So like i would recommend if you remember all your how to stay safe on internet stuff. & be careful. But yeah thats all.🙃
But like tbh i used it for a few minutes just now to see how it is but then hide my profile than devactiacted it once i saw someone i knew. Got a lil scared. Not somethin i would try personally try cause seems quite daunting only cause im quite anti social but seems like quite a few people use it, cause like i hardly know many people so to see someone i knew on it, must mean something ah. So could be useful or something to keep in mind to some females who may be a lil lonely 🙃 (it connects to your facebook,maybe can choose not to, not sure - but does not post it on your facebook and can edit things so you see people with similar age and interest.)
I probs hear too much about dodgy stuff on the internet ¬ that trusting but i cant help but think that maybe some is fake profiles of men who are just trying to groom females.. but yeah im sure isnt and is good👍🙃 would be interesting to maybe know what think about it aswell though

Hey! Vina is alright if dating/friending online is your bag, but my family disallows it so good luck to you.
Oh then probs only me whos only heard of it til now aha. I wouldnt use it myself but thanks!
It could be okay for you @Shaunie as it's decribed here as 'Tinder for girls': https://techcrunch.com/2016/01/26/hey-vina-is-a-tinder-for-girl-friends/
But my older relatives seriously restrict me from making friends anyway, because they are a bunch of snobs. I hate their attitude. Only my aunt is anywhere human.
I wish you good luck so go for it! :thumb:
Thanks for sharing, I hadn't heard of that before! One of my friends recently moved to Bristol, was lonely and found it difficult to meet people, she used this website https://www.meetup.com/ where you can put in your interests and social preferences etc and get put with a group of your choice. She chose to join a group called Bristol Girl with lots of other females her age and had a really, really brilliant time. Apparently they are really friendly to newbies and take it upon themselves to really welcome you in. I think it's a really lovely concept.

Can also recommend meetup.com too! I haven't used it personally, but some of my friends really dig it.
