Our twenties are meant to be fun. But they are becoming increasingly more dull. The internet gave us everything except that feeling of actually being with people. Enter irl. Irl wasn’t built to fix the world. Irl was built for young men who want to go on adventures with a group of other homies who like the same stuff you do. For the guys who really want to talk about the subtle (BUT IMPORTANT) details in Revenge of the Sith, arguing over the best NBA draft class of the decade, launching a D&D campaign, or discussing that one obscure time in history when something funny happened. But how does it work? Simple: you sign up, tell us a little of what you’re interested in, get matched into a group, and go out on an adventure. This is NOT a dating app. Irl is in the business for friends, not love (though loving your friends is ok). Guys, if there is anything your twenties shouldn’t be, it's lonely. Or boring. And what better way to avoid both of those by doing something fun with like-minded friends who all want to talk about that random philosophical question some guy 3000 years ago said. See you irl.
