Interesting. I'm moving to the bay soon and I'm in my late 30s. Any recommendations on where to meet people and how to make new friends?

- dheera 5y agoThere are lots of parties and gatherings in SF where if you're late 30s nobody will bat an eyelid as long as you're friendly and approachable. It may be a bit challenging to discover them at first but once you find one or two and make friends with the organizers, you'll start getting vortexed to many more as long as you are friendly and come off as either good-looking, interesting, knowledgeable, or accomplished (not necessarily all of the above, but friendly is non-negotiable). Peninsula and South Bay also have plenty of social events but they take a bit more effort to find. Look for interest clubs of sorts and start from there. If you're joining a large company such as Google or Facebook, they normally have plenty of social events, though it's been much less since COVID. If you're doing a startup, you'll get invited to various investors' parties and things and you can make friends from there. But in general ... the bay is much more forgiving of age than most places in the country.
