I'm in the Akron area too. There seems to be a ton of us in NE Ohio. It really would be nice to have some females respond to these posts though. My guess to the reason that these gatherings or "NESTs" happen so inconsistently is because guys don't want to hang out with a bunch of guys and not even hearing from a female kills the idea. Even if the females would respond and voice an opinion, whether it be good or bad, we would have a better idea of the potential turnout. And with the input from the ladies, we could better cater to what they want. I think I speak for most guys on here when I say that we'll do whatever takes to make these gatherings comfortable and appealing for women. They're the rareity, guys are the commodity.
