Best places to meet women for friendship

Post Reply New Topic

I would like to meet more women in a context whereby I can get to know them as friends.

I'm introverted and nervous so places like bars and nightclubs don't seem right, also there is unspoken moray in my country that those are places whereby men can seek women for sex hookups, and I don't want to send that message.

I am enrolled to go to my local university (biggest in my country), and I prefer intellectual pursuits.

Well, since you're at your university, the first place I'd try is to look up school clubs that align with your interests. You'd be able to get a lot of friendly conversations with that one shared interest!

If you can skate, try an ice skating rink. Or roller, if that's more your thing. I know one girl somewhat from ice skating, which I guess is pretty good cuz I don't like, do much else social anymore. Either that, or dance classes and the like would probably be good.

Could also try gyms, but gyms are in a lot of ways replacing bars for hookup spots. Which I don't like much at all, but it's the way things are now. If you wanna meet a ton of girls, go like, 5-6PM, as it's after work. If you want to avoid all the bros at the gym, go to aerobics class, as they're populated by females, and usually most guys there are...not cool. So, if you're worried about your coolness, for better or worse, you'll fit in...or stand out...or something.

Lastly, an easy place too would be if you're into video games, anime, board gaming, as it seems 90%+ of Aspies are, then see if you can find an anime club or something of that nature in your area. I don't know, I feel like I outgrew that "crowd" of people, but still totally love anime and the related things, but I find that crowd of people annoying now for the most part. Girls ARE there, but the ratio is usually like 1 girl to 5 guys, so it's kinda a lot of competition, really, as all the other guys have the exact same thought process as you.

Those are my suggestions, from a guy who's 20, and hasn't had a girlfriend in his life, so take it for what you want.

... everywhere... except perhaps the men's locker room or restroom

See if your university offers any possibly non-credit cooking or yogo classe
