I’m sorry to hear that. I was relatively well-liked in my school and college years, yet as an adult it has been very, very difficult to make friends.

- downerending 7y agoThanks. Must have been nice, but I suppose the cost was experiencing the change to the way things are as an adult (which I think is a very common experience). In my case, I've long since adapted to a near-solitary existence, and I'd say it doesn't particularly bother me anymore.

Here’s an idea for a founder looking for a startup: a Tinder-esque platform for meeting and making friends with similar interests. I’m sure this has been done before but certainly hasn’t become mainstream.

- chubot 7y agoI think it's very common, but in my experience living the city helps a lot (San Francisco in my case, compared to say the south bay). There's a selection effect where people who live in dense areas are more open to meeting new people. (There's also a culture of drinking which I'm mostly over, but it's still a net positive IMO.)
