How do you find friends without kids ?

How do you learn to social dance?

My hope with federation was that more groups would actually make an instance and a few communities around their specialty. like the world science fiction society or various large cons or like maker spaces.

SLPT: Sow the seeds of divorce. Then you get every other weekend to hang out with your friends kid-free. Bonus points if you manage to stay friends with both sides, you get 50% of your friends available every weekend!

Start with the dance class then find an extrovert to throw you in the ring somewhere

Yeah, that is a good idea!

Yes, I have a million hobbies, but they dont exactly result in friends to chill with

Just posted Shore Leave; if it stays up, I’ll keep posting my locals and maybe other folks will, too.

TTRPGs

Meetup groups

Join a local woodworking guild.

All of the dance classes I take include some amount of social dancing after, so that you can practice what you've learned. Everyone is very friendly and will dance with you, as they're all there to learn. For popular dances, there will be bars and nightclubs with music and dancing. With swing, I can easily go to events 5-7 nights per week, many of them free. I've found the community friendly and helpful, and we coordinate which events we're going to via a whatsapp thread.

If you have hobbies, find stores or meet ups for people with a similar interest.

Dead ass though, if you like nerdy stuff, go to conventions.

just cruising or walking around outdoors etc

Hiking clubs, cycling groups, and other hobby clubs. Even potluck dinners. Yeah, some older people will try to find ways to get free time and touch base.

Many queer people, including couples. Some do of course, but the majority do not.
