Those who test as iNtuitive tend to be big-picture people who are imaginative, future-oriented, and enjoy discussing theories and abstract concepts. iNtuitives usually find it easier to connect with other iNtuitives. Since only ¼ of the U.S. population is iNtuitive, our group brings together fellow iNtuitives and makes it eas …

In the heart of one of the most over-sexualised countries comes a group for you, the asexual. I created this group for my fellow Aces to discuss whatever is on our minds, inspire one another with intellectual conversation, and generally just hang out. Each of our events will have a theme in order to kick off a conversation. They won't be locked into a specific topic, as I believe a good conversation must veer off course once in a while. Pull up a chair, grab a pint, and enjoy the company!
