While I agree with what the author says, there is another strategy also: frequently walk around your neighborhood, be friendly, attend local events, etc. I am a tech-person who lives in a small town in the mountains. There are people to make friends with everywhere - but they may not share your exact job skills, technical interests, etc.

Despite the much wider range of age groups and interests of the people living here, I've made more friends than I did in my last decade of living in the city. People walk places and have time to chat. If you want to get involved, there are plenty of classes and groups going on or just go sit in a coffee shop or pub, turn your phone off and talk to someone.
- ProllyInfamous 4y agoMy two best friends in my small mountain community are together fifty-five years older than me... but this doesn't stop endless conversation. We're each "effectively retired" but continue tinkering in our own ways with our world(s).
- tluyben2 4y agoYep, was coming here to say that; you can make friends that live close by instead. Also in a mountain village (5 different ones over 20 years) and it’s very easy to make friends; at least a lot easier than getting people to move over here (many did, but it took a far more time than making new friends). Surprisingly many people who do have the same or similar interests and skills.
