Same here, I've made my new best friend here. You just need to know what you are looking for, I pick mostly techmeetups and volunteer work as the common interest and to build mutual learning / bonding experience. I don't really get much out of pure generic "social" meetups though... people seem to care more about what you do VS. who you are in my opinion. Sports is another mutual bonding area too
