Hi friend
You will never be able to make the type of friends you made in high school or college. Friendship is created from time spent together combined with overcoming hardship. Going to a meetup group once a week and talking to strangers for one hour over beer or kickball is not going to be enough time to actually build the type of relationship you are looking for.

Op you are a nerd you have to build your friends. Like Screech had to build that robot or the weird science guys made the hot chick. This media is from back when everyone thought nerds = smart. We now know nerds are just as loving stupid as everyone else but have worse social skills.

Do the hobbies you are talking about and then when you don't suck complete balls at them, join local communities.
Or be like me and just continue do the hobbies by yourself while dreaming of making inroads and learn to like your wife's friends :cheers:

It’s pretty easy to find a coworker that you mesh with in most industries. Things stall out for me when they actually want to meet up outside work and I’m too selfish and socially anxious to go through with it.

I knew a guy that thought he was sad and alone because there was a finite amount of happiness in the world and everyone else had already taken the happiness that he deserved. We also had parties with good food and drugs and didn't invite him, we would talk about the parties in front of him before and after and never acknowledge that we didn't invite him.

He hung himself a few weeks ago, we have been making jokes about it.

Figure out what you like doing yourself and then try to find other groups or clubs or something that have people who also like to do that.

Like collecting comic books? Go to a comic con. Like hunting or fishing? Join a range club. Big fan of cooking? There’s tons of meat and cheese clubs and festivals and poo poo. Do you like being spanked and your balls electrocuted? Join FetLife.

You get the idea. There’s something out there for everyone. Just start googling your interests with maybe your city name or “local” afterwards.

I just throw myself into dating until I find a girl as desperate as me who's like "oh god you'll date me ok haha yay hey let me introduce you to all my friends" then I just borrow her friends and go do things outside with people, until she eventually is like "hey, I'm dating you, but what if I WASNT dating you? How about that??" Like, this was a really profound thought she'd never had before. Then if we break up I get to be single and wallow in bachelordom for a time until I feel like dating again
