At the LW meetups I've been to so far, I've seen what I would call 'swarming' around each female present. It doesn't seem malicious, but they each end up being in the center of a group...
I guess this is something for other people to corroborate, I'm just a lonely data point waiting for my line.
Edit - please disregard this post
How many meetups have you been to and seen this? Do you think it produces negative effects; if so, what?
More data, yum yum. :D
I can postulate, based on past experience (not with LW meetups). It depends on the person. Some people like a lot of attention and find it energising... some people don't and can find it overwhelming and exhausting. If a person finds it overwhelming and exhausting they may be turned off coming next time.
