It helps to get a hobby that involves other people. I've met lots of friendly people playing board games, and the hobby gives you something natural to talk about.
It is a little funny though. A lot of the time people give that as advice to meet women. I'm a man, and when I got into a hobby that interested me, it was 90% men that I met! It's anecdotal, sure, but many of the women I have met were coming with their SOs. Still, it's been fun, but I wonder what hobby I need to get into to meet all the women.
I may finally break down and get an account on Bumble or something. My work is male-dominated for various reasons I have little influence over, I don't want to start going to church (though I could probably tolerate the local Unitarian Universalist congregation), and I don't like to drink either, so bars are out. I'm exjw with JW family, so family matchmaking is out. I might not have many other options, though honestly I don't feel like I need to be in a relationship either, so I suppose I can wait.
