Strange. I had the opposite experience.
I made more friends in NYC in 2 years than real friends in SF in 4. That's not to blame people, because hey, it takes two to tango and my behavior sabotaged my own success. But even though I am in tech, I still never felt comfortable in the monoculture of SF than while in NY.
- nlh 11y agoInteresting data point - thanks for sharing. Tell me more: how did you meet and make friends in NYC? In SF - I find there's a more intimate social scene -- more dinner parties than bar nights, so easier to have meaningful interactions. Maybe I'm just seeing the product of my own growing up...
- koluft 11y agoI haven't been invited to any dinner parties with strangers to become friends with. My existing friends invite me to dinner parties.
- radicality 11y agoWondering too, how did you make friends in NYC? I'm finding it difficult.
- mikegioia 11y agoOne of the best methods is recreational, organized sports. One good example is ZogSports. A lot of people sign up alone and I think the team sports and group interaction really help form the bonds early.
