I know that you guys have mentioned this multiple times but I am "ready" to try and find some hobbies and shit but there's nothing local on my meetup and the board game group that was on there recently dissolved. I'm going to go to the cafe tomorrow to see if its still running because I want to attend.

Are there any alternatives to meetup? I am trying to find local weekly events and shit so I can meet people, make friends and whatnot.

Yes that is in fact what I am trying to do.

I have the time to go out for lunch / after work. What are good places to meet people? Do people even really want to be met?

Have you cleaned the shit covered wall in your room yet? I don't think people want to meet someone that lives like that.

Big boardgame shops usually have weekly game nights. Just show up for that and ask if any game needs an extra player.

We don't have a local board game shop. The closest one is two towns over.

Its actually a good question.

I mean, these days you can't really answer with "go meet people in real life" in most places because there just don't seem to be any places for actively doing so as far as I know. Anymore.

The uses of the internet end up coming with some serious social downsides for society.

This is what I am saying. Back 10-15 years ago we had two local game shops. Neither of them exist anymore.

I am trying to figure out what "normal" people actually do for hobbies. It seems like all of them facebook or twitter or whatnot and don't actually socialize either.

Maybe it's the area I grew up in, but saying something is two towns over is basically saying "It's 20 minutes away". I'm not used to areas with huge towns. My school district was actually four towns combined, with a population of a little over 30k.

Yeah, this is what I was thinking. Like I wonder if he meant two major metropolitan areas away, or just like two suburbs of the same metro area away. Knowing Judg my guess would be the latter

Not to defend Judg but I live in a metro area and its still hard to meet people. Its just not easy to do that outside of school or work, and even then its a gamble.

I met the dozen close friends I have now and my wife at a neighborhood corner bar.

My point is that if you're having trouble meeting people and making friends, it might be you and not a lack of places to meet people.
