At certain points in life, it can be surprisingly difficult to make new friends—especially if you’ve moved to a new city, don’t have kids, aren’t part of the dominant religion, or simply don’t find yourself meeting others in traditional ways like sports or school events. That’s exactly where RealRoots comes in.As an extrovert, I never expected to struggle with connection, but after moving to Salt Lake City, I found it incredibly hard to meet people who weren’t just passing through. RealRoots changed everything. They match you with women in your age group and local area, and organize meetups that feel natural, inclusive, and genuinely welcoming.Through RealRoots, I’ve met incredible women—some who live just blocks away from me—who I never would have crossed paths with otherwise. I’m so grateful for this community and excited to continue building meaningful friendships. If you’re feeling disconnected, this could be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

This feels like a total scam. For a program that says they value price transparency they’re not at all transparent. All the materials that I received before signing up and paying the $289 for the series describe that you’re paying for 7 weeks of events + meal, the initial M&G email I got describes this, the post M&G “what’s in store for you” email, and the “You did it, here’s what next email” ALL say here’s 7 weeks of events (including the M&G which you already pay $25 for separately but okay), which will have an activity and meal to promote bonding. Come to find out day before my first event that the lunches aren’t included at all, and 4/6 remaining weeks of activities are all already free or no cost to the organizer (walks, 1-1s, more walks, self-planned reunion) so what am I even paying for?!! I don’t get any impression that I was deliberately matched with my group either, they’re all nice enough but we have very limited things on common from what I’m learning so I think it’s literally just based on the meet and greet date that you choose when you’re first singing up, not intentionally matching. This is such a waste - don’t even bother. Not to mention all the other reviews about the app are correct; I can’t access any features other than my series group chat and daily mindfulness. There are no clubs, can’t sign up for any 1-1s, can’t access the community forum, nothing that I’m supposed to have access to after they force you into being a member for 1 year when purchasing the series…

RealRoots is like a shiny shooting star - it just came out of nowhere on my IG ads and (very unlike me) I opened it and felt the pull because I’ve been struggling to make new friends but I’ve been in the same area for three years! I felt the need to take the plunge out of my comfort zone. Since the first night - like the ‘test meet up’ things felt exciting, energy was moving! Then since our first official evening out together through the end of the facilitated meet ups, we can’t wait for our girls night together…the first week was hard to get out of routine and take a leap of faith with new people, but the girls and I really got on and I definitely feel I’m coming out of this with more than 1 good friend. We’ve already planned a Friendsgiving with our whole group! It feels really good to connect with new women at 35. RealRoots did a good job with pairing us - mostly remote working professionals who needed a nudge to ‘get out there again’!

Truly had the absolute lowest expectations going in to this experience, but figured if nothing else I would get out of my house for a few hours. In just a few short weeks I have made true connections with women whom I probably would have never met otherwise. We have all had such a great time that none of us want to stop seeing each other and have made plans to continue our Gal Dates for the foreseeable future. Each week has been an absolute delight and I have truly looked forward to each outing. Everything from our group matching, our guide, and our actual group has been perfect and I could not have asked for anything different. I have recommended RealRoots to just about everyone I know now and am so glad I happened to stumble across it and sign up. Best decision ever.
