How do I join Wave3 Social?
Start by attending one of our local mixers - open events where anyone can come meet current members and get a feel for the community. If the vibe is right and you're supported by existing members, you'll receive an invitation to join Wave3 as a full member with access to exclusive events and experiences.
What do members get access to?
Once you're invited into Wave3, you unlock access to curated events - everything from small-group hangouts and workshops to bigger socials. These are invite-only, thoughtfully planned, and focused on building real friendships and good times.
Is the club only for a specific type of guy?
Not at all. Wave3 is for any guy looking to build solid, meaningful friendships. Whether you're new in town, going through a life shift, or just tired of shallow hangouts - we're here for it. Our only ask is that you show up open and respectful.
How does the invite system work?
After attending a mixer, current members can vouch for new attendees they believe would be a great fit. If you're supported by enough members, you'll get an official invite to join the club. It helps us keep the vibe strong and the community aligned.
Is there a dress code?
No stiff rules. Come as yourself. For mixers, think casual-cool - something you'd wear to meet friends for drinks. For private events, we'll share any dress suggestions in advance, but comfort and confidence always come first.
Can I bring a friend to events?
Absolutely. In fact, we encourage it. The more energy and openness in the room, the better. Just make sure they're aligned with what we're building - real connection, good vibes, and mutual respect.
Is there a cost to attend?
Mixers are usually free or low-cost to cover venue or food. Once you're a member, some events may have a small fee to help with planning, food, or space - but we keep it accessible and always let you know ahead of time.
