    I tried using Meetup, just to get out and get involved with something, but the meetups around here are lame.

    I practically live between one gym or another.. Most of my friends are around the gym!
    That and I've had a few clients in the past that have turned into awesome friends (I even broke the golden rule of not dating a client a couple of times..)

    I think that generally we meet people and interact with people we have similar interests with.

    As for what to meet people for - never been a 'short term' 'one night only' guy myself - I value bonds and I don't trust easily so, when I look for 'more' I basically look for the female version of myself.

    I have no social life. My shyness and awkwardness keep me away from having RL "friends". Most of my friend are in my pocket... sad I know lol but to be fair, most RL people suck. My imaginary friends are awesome!

    But I'm real!

    I meet people through common interests. I skate so I've lots of friends through that. I curl, I've made friends there. I have neighbourhood friends because a e we have Kids and live in the same hood.

    I have my friends I make randomly, like the guy who worked at the local drugstore and I see around town. Just be open and friendly and talk to people

    Have an interest/hobby/activity that many other people do. Do that thing. Meet other people who do that thing.
    Know someone who is social. Meet people through them.

    I met people most through school or work and after that through my husband or some very social friends.

    The old people are rich. Like Whitney said, crack is cheap, God rest her soul.
