As a tangent, having a specific idea to talk about, or a theme for starting hang out convos doesn't sound too bad as an idea

I reworded this like 6 times to try to say it in a non-douchey way but failed.

You're describing a salon. Which is a term for having a gathering of interesting people in order to have a conversation loosely (or not) around a topic or theme.

Didn't think this was douchey. I genuinely didn't know this and appreciate you sharing it
