I don't know what it is but i feel like it's harder to make friends in Bay area than in other place, like people are clichish. Do u guys go to meetup events? Fb events? Raves? How can one expand ones social circle outside of work and existing circles?
Been here 4 years by far the worst years of my life Socially got no advice for you homie the Bay sucks
Is it really this bad? Why is it this way?
Attracts neurotic people who tend to be less open to new experience, unbalanced gender dynamics, classism And class stratification, locals protecting their own
I click on ads that say “meet single women near you”
On pornhub?
You got it! 😉
People should try to be inclusive to the people outside of their circle but software engineers are least social people. Hence, our destiny was kind of decided. We can try but majority will say why? Once you move out of engineering role, you will find many more people as folks in other field are much more open and friendly and like to introduce others.
Lol. I was faced with the same problem as a software developer and simply started to introducing one acquaintance to another and now there is a large social circle of people (including non-tech) who hang out with each other. Group chat, dinners, tennis groups, etc, etc. People invite their friends, their friends invite their friends... my 2-4 people beer pong Fridays turned into 15-20 beer pong Fridays. Can’t help but laugh when people talk about Seattle freeze. It starts with you 😉
Yeah doable but not norm.
Search for Neighbors on Capitol Hill. Nuff said.
WTF
I click the 'like' buttons on the Blind app
Try going to mission Dolores park on the weekend. Bring beer and join a large group. People are pretty nice actually. Dunno if that's too out there, but worth a shot.
Meet up!
Tinder and bumble
I go for interviews. Meet lot of new people. 6-8 a day easily.
