So I cut off a whole bunch of people from my life because I felt like a lot of those people were/are negative. I almost feel like I’m back to square one I have no friends pretty much at all except a handful (who are all actually cool). I want to make more friends and meet new people (meet both males and females) I am on dating apps but it feels like a superficial cheap clown show. I am a straight Asian who is socially acclimated (not a 5”6’ Indian) in early to mid twenties I have a few close college buddies but none in my area sadly Ideas? I do yoga on my own. I may go to a yoga studio. I may try alternative dating apps (hinge feels less gimmicky and more genuine). I am gonna sign up for toastmasters a few times a week I made a list of people I know in the area (who I haven’t been in contact with) and plan on touching base I don’t have money/time for a dog atm EDIT: ideas on how to meet males/females in a new area? I am into meditation, lifting, shrooms, coffee, reading and software. I feel like that’s a wide bandwidth of interests to work with here
Meetup is a good way. I also did craigslist groups thing when younger and braver in my 20s. Not sure how CL is now. I am in my 30s and failing miserably on the dating apps. 5'10/F. Too tall and nerdy. 😂
I am not tryna be an asshole but a lot of 30+ women get outclassed by 18-24 year old women. Sad but just what my friends are telling me
What does “outclassed” mean here?
Depends on your interest, I have gone to tech ones and outdoor activities. And if you want to meet a partner, try 2redbeans.
If you think a dog would help either as company or a wingman maybe taskrabbit or help an elderly neighbor by walking their dog or bringing them to the park. You get to spend some time with a dog and might meet some dog people.
If you look closely, you'll find more colleagues like you. Good friends are always made by meetings by chance, not orchestrated.
Join a sports league if that’s up your alley. Sure shot way of finding a few friends
No money for a dog.. what’s your TC.. 🤔
It’s more time and enthusiasm. I love dogs but it’s a huge commitment. I would feel bad if I didn’t give it proper attention
Sounds responsible. Good for you.
Learn offline courses.
Some friends have had luck meeting people in hiking groups. Any interest group would work, I guess. Be respectful and exercise your humor sense. Good job cutting off the negative people btw.
Interest group would be via meetup? Where do you find a list of these clubs?
Meetup/reddit. You have to be in it long enough to find the legit groups, so you'd need real interest to make it here. Think of what are things you have that kind of sustainable interest in.
Sounds like a competition

Use meetup
And go to the tech meet ups? Which ones have you gone to? Sounds to me like the ratio is off but I guess I’ll go for the male companionship
