Come to quaff. Walk up to the finest MFr you see. 99% chance it's me or wacky. Done.

I've been there exactly 1 time, and I met up with Wacky before a flight

find a special lady friend that has friends

this is by far the easiest (so best) answer. women just naturally talk to other people for some reason and then sometimes you have to talk to the other people too and then all of a sudden there are millions of people running around that know who you are even though you can't remember who they are and it's hard to do anything without having to stop and talk with people and eventually you prolly have to move to a new city and start fresh.

if you're not committed to drinking you may as well give up on making friends

Well, this is just not accurate.

"a person with whom beers are shared" is the foremost definition of a friend.

I met my two non-college best friends 1) at the dog park, and 2) on a flyfishing internet forum. Both were in my wedding.

Other friends have been work friends but since we don't work together anymore we don't really hang.

I worked part time at a flyfishing retailer and have made some friends through that.

When I took my dog to the ER vet last Saturday I made potential friends with the ER doc and we're going fishing this spring if we keep in touch.

Have made some potential friends at the archery range but yet to see if any of those will pan out.

Finding someone whom I would trust with my life is hard (as it should be).

Ideas:

Join a church/temple, and get involved in their various activities.

Volunteer someplace where lots of other people do as well.

Join an athletic activity club. Like a jogging or hiking club.

Join a 12 step program. Meet loads of people that way.

Go back to school and get another degree.

Get a part time job doing something fun/hip. Coffee shop, bar, record store, Cirillas, etc

Join a men's league at a local golf course

Attempt to actually talk to your neighbors

Dating your way into a group of friends is a good idea until you find out she does something awfully annoying (in this case was a secret republican or something) and when you break up she takes all the friends in the "divorce."

It isn't easy, but being really intentional is the way to do it. If it isn't in your wheelhouse it can be as nerve racking as hitting on a pretty girl at a bar, but you have to commit to trying. If you meet someone at kickball/KState viewing event/a dog park go grab a drink or a lunch with them. Find a common interest video games/ disc golf / or whatever and hit em up every time you want to do those things.

michigancat · « **Reply #45 on:** July 01, 2016, 09:00:32 AM »

I vote charity work. You might not meet people, but at least you'd be doing something worthwhile. If there's no causes you care about and you're too lazy for hobbies, maybe having friends just wasn't meant to be.

CNS · « **Reply #46 on:** July 01, 2016, 09:02:11 AM »

Stay off the computer and tv for a day or two. Make note of what you end up thinking about. Look into that stuff.

That said, hobbies don't necessarily lead to friends. For instance, I don't want anyone in the kitchen while I am cooking. They get.in the way.

Change your personality from being a introvert to being a extrovert

Winters · « **Reply #48 on:** July 01, 2016, 09:03:37 AM »

Be a polarizing person. This has led me to loads of friends (one of which is you!). Just have your charisma ooze from every ounce of your being and not give a eff.

As for females...My Great Uncle Walt used to bag a ton girls in the Topeka area (

). He had about a 7% success rate but he wasn't afraid of rejection and would aggressively flirt with about 15 women a day until one fell for his rugged good looks* & charm.
