If you have a crafty hobby, maybe take class in it
Start a new hobby by taking a class. I think pottery would be a good choice
Like to cook - cooking class
Nerdy - go to a trivia night
Look for a book club, go to a gallery opening, take an improv class
Obviously itâs much much much much easier said than done, and I also feel like I was absent the day i was supposed to learn how to live.
Also thereâs an app called Timeleft that organizes dinners among random strangers. Iâve only done it once (the app and the dinners get expensive) and had a good time. Itâs in quite a few different cities.
Thereâs also an app called Mingle IRL that started in my city. I donât know if itâs expanded much yet
Finally, Bumble has an option to look for friends (same gender only) instead of dates. Donât remember what they call it but youâll figure it out.
Personally I think any woman who thinks another woman looks cool should be able to walk up to her and ask to be friends. I guess men could do it with each too, but I donât know if we ever look cool.
Best of luck!

I always do that with my bestfriend ! whenever we go out we could literally sit in silence and just sketch together ! Itâs so fun and we discovered that with this little cute meets we ended up âindirectlyâ to encourage each other to draw more !

Join or get into doing a âsocialâ form of exercise i.e a rock-climbing gym, MMA gym, yoga classes, running clubs. Just going to Planet Fitness wonât cut it. An environment where you can easily approach others while exercising, and be able to talk like âWhat bouldering grade are you on?â âI donât know how to top rope, can you teach me?â Do this and you are guaranteed to get friends.
Going out of your comfort zone and taking risks. If thereâs a âsketchy barâ you donât go to but one of your friends does, ask to go with them. You get a new experience if you like it + if you hate it you donât have to go there again!
Dress and Smell your best self. This one is subjective and exists on a slippery slope but when I started mixing my own personal flair with nice luxury fashion brands and wearing them out with friends, I noticed I would get way more attention from women (or other guys like me who like style). If you have not already invest in good fragrance/cologne, I suggest D.S DURGA and Malin + Goëtz.
BE NICE I canât stress this enough.
I canât begin to explain how many people forget this especially men like me. No bro, donât go to the bar with the intention of getting in her pants that night, just go and have a fun time and be nice. If an attractive girl (or guy) DOES walk up to you, just talk to them like you would anyone else, and keep the convo engaging. Thatâs all there is to it.
Use this app. So far on this app, Iâve found only hot and cool people on here, and many are willing to share so much info about themselves like their hobbies, special interests, and advice aka what I am doing right now!

Iâve met friends through a book club, a mutual aid group, a film discussion class, improv classes (silly but made lifelong friends!), queer craft meetupsâŠbut honestly I had the most luck with BumbleBFF & other apps bc it eliminates the awkward part of not being sure if the people at the event wanna hang out outside of it or not.

I moved to a new city during covid and times were tough here for a while, but this is what worked for me:
- befriending your coworkers (sometimes theyâre really cool and will become your bff, most of them time theyâre fine to occasionally hang w)
-being a regular at a coffee shop, bar, or concert/show venue (hit up the familiar faces and theyâre likely to introduce you to their crew as well)
-bumble bff (kind of the worst but also fun- I met a few of my close friends on here who then introduced me to their friend groups. Mostly great interactions but be weary of some ppl trying to use it as a sly dating tool)
-get involved in the community! i host a book club and I play soccer on a local rec team. Iâve met so many people that I wouldâve probably never encountered otherwise through Bookclub- donât be afraid of multigenerational friendships! With soccer, Iâve met such a diverse crowd and itâs encouraged me to attempt to learn Spanish. Itâs nice to be able to get a group of ppl together and play/practice when you all have a night free, or go and watch a game! If youâre sporty, you can also invite your new sporty pals out for runs, hikes, or other workout type activities!

The occupation persists, the oppression persists, the torture persists.
The occupiers are psychotic and their work is never finished.
