You want to look for some kind of social hobby that naturally attracts a wide range of people, both men and women, is in person, and makes you happy regardless of whether you're actually meeting people. Certain sports qualify. Volunteer groups can qualify. Some hobbies work. For sports today the rock climbing community is very inclusive and the sport naturally causes people to get to know each other since you can't climb with ropes in most places without pairing up with someone. The whole gym culture of rock climbing didn't really exist yet when I was in my early 20s.

  Married with 3 kids here. If was single today I'd be at the local rock gyms 24/7. I took my kids climbing a few weeks ago and I couldn't believe how many women were in that place. Roughly a 50/50 male/female ratio, and everyone is super fit. Yoga pants - chefs kiss. Easy to strike up conversations too when looking for help with a problem...

      Just because I'm married with kids doesn't mean I've stopped noticing/appreciating beautiful people.

    Why is this downvoted? It looks legit to me.

Sports and any kind of group activities that interest you.

Any activity that is small enough that they need more people, but still large enough. Be careful, males and females are in general attracted to different activities. (I don't know why). If you are a guy trying to meet girls (or vice versa) your first choice is probably bad. If you don't see someone who could be a match right away you are in the wrong activity. (this is before you meet them to learn if they are married or have have compatible personality)

do you have any advice for someone who's just finished college and moved to a new place, its really hard to find people to hang out as friends.
