How do you increase your volume in meeting people as you age?
06-13-2016, 03:43 PM
I'm sure there are various tips scattered throughout the threads, but just wondering what your best methods are to either increase your social circle or prospects or straight up increase the number of people you have a chance to run into once your job and ability to "go out" wane.
I've got a lot going for me but this volume aspect is a huge problem, and the aging social circle of friends who get picked off by marriage or have actively shut down looking for you or have any "meet my friend" potentials, let alone that girl being any quality due to age (these idiots think you want to hang with a girl in her 30s if you are in your 30s) is quite discouraging.
Everything is timing but man, numbers are critical so you can take advantage of timing. Any advice is appreciated.

I approach on the street, restaurants, banks etc... any lady I am attracted to I force myself to approach.
The bars and clubs in my area are "cock-fests" and filled with escorts so I don't even go there.

Learn to ramble and talk to everyone interesting you meet or see out in public. Find a way to speak to them be it asking about their clothes, just small talk while in a line, etc.
Of course a large part of this is just dressing nice and being in shape. Act like and be a person that people will want to be while applying the above while going out of your way to do everything as in person as possible, and soon enough you'll meet lots of cool people.
Just recently I met an older lawyer in his 60s(which I would never normally meet as a young guy in his very early 20s), whom makes his own cigarettes(filters and all very professional looking) with a roller of his own, grows his own tobacco, and is one hell of a chess player.
Very interesting cat.
Cheers!

I would say that you should be going out to various places that interest you. Once there simply talk to others as comte said. All it takes is a good one or two friends to like you enough to bring you into their circle to make other friends.
Not to mention since you already have friends, you could host an event with the and encourage them to bring friends. Then you'll already be vetted as you are a friend of a friend.
