It seems all the singles Meetup groups in the suburbs tend to consist mostly of fifty-somethings with a couple divorces under their belts and their kids married or off to college.  Leaving the younger crowd forced to head to Chicago for social activities with others in their age range.  Not that there's anything wrong with folks over a certain age, they're as active and vivacious as the rest of us.  Sometimes more-so.  We just want to hang with people of a similar age. There are a lot of young s …
