To follow onto this thread, here's a few good avenues for non-work contacts.
- Fraternal Organizations like the Knights of Columbus, Rotary, Eagle Lodges, etc.
- For vets, VFW, MOAA, or American Legion. Full of old farts who get together to drink but you can find some good old-school redpill mentors in these places.
- Shared interest and hobby groups. Online venues have already been suggested, but try going into shops that cater to your interests and asking the staff. They're usually plugged into those circles and if you're lucky the store will host/sponsor meetups.
- Get a motorcycle and join a riding club....NOT a "motorcycle club" unless you're hardcore. The distinction is very important. RC's are just casual weekend groups, MC's are the hardcore "biker lifestyle".
