Before I lived with my then girlfriend now wife, I used to go to a pretty large number of meetups each month largely for the free food. I made decent money, was terrible at social interaction and enjoyed very few of the meetups, but free food? Come on, lol.
It’s really a weirdly effective motivator, at least for me.

Meetups at startups will usually be from swanky delivery places too. I used to go for part technical content, part socializing, and part just to get out there. Decent food helped, but it turns out getting in late isn't as tolerable anymore.
