You were talking about IRL, yet mention game servers and VRC? Wut?
I do appreciate the suggestions but I wasn't asking for advice lol, I was debating your point. I have no trouble meeting people, but your way isn't one I've ever had success with, as a not-so-young-anymore adult. Online has been much more fruitful always.
I guess what you're trying to say is if you're into all those outdoorsy hobbies you end up meeting people IRL?
I brought up online stuff because some over here refuse to get outside, if that's you then it might work out.
That's a dumb idea though, best shot to make friends is through a website or social media or dating app.
Outside it's almost impossible because like lol you're not gonna harass randoms at a grocery store because you like their band t-shirt or smth unless you're 13.
And I suppose unless you're already some outdoorsy knucklehead, but then the kinda folks you meet in those situations aren't the ones at least i'd want around, there's not much to talk about with a person like that, can't share any hobbies like e.g. exploit dev, music production, video games, electronics (breadboards, Arduino, that kinda dealie), politics, history, economics, drugs (no weed or alcohol tho ewww 🤮) plus they're probably some moron who thinks 5G causes COVID, trump is going to fix Europe and vaping is harmful for you and drinks coffee instead of monster and probably eats sugary food etc etc...
Idk what I'm saying anymore or why I'm on this app. My company is the only one I enjoy. I think I have schizoaffective disorder.
