I'm in my mid-30s and have recently moved to a new city where I don't know anyone. I do OLD and will continue to do so but tbh would prefer for something to develop more organically with someone. So I've also been throwing myself into hobbies and trying lots of new things but. I'm often the youngest person there by far. Or everyone's female! I think my interests are typically more associated with an older demographic (e.g. art appreciation courses) but even when I deliberately try things I think will attract a younger crowd I seem to find myself surrounded by people in their 50s-80s. I went to a writing workshop focusing on quite a niche subculture and was really surprised to find that I was the only non-retiree there. All lovely but I'd like to meet others at a similar stage of life. Where are the 30 something professional men hanging out? The only place I really see any is the gym and nobody seems to talk to anybody else there
Any suggestions? I'm childfree by choice so no urgency on that score but I'd really love a meaningful relationship. My work is entirely remote so no options there and sadly, for medical reasons I can't drink anything but water so starting to frequent beer festivals is not an option lol. Comedy clubs and cheap gigs. Midweek comedy can be £5 a ticket so I don't mind paying for a friend to come along. And pub gigs, up to £20. You see new bands, get out there and men are always happy to chat to a young lady on her own. Join the club. quite contentedly single and childfree so no massive rush. But thinking I wouldn't mind opening up some options. Had a bit of nun mode for last couple years focussing on work and family and glowing up. Had a whizz around the apps and honestly they are absolutely dire. I'm certainly not going to lie about my age to get someone better. (although yeh yeh I am one of those arrogant women who think I look younger obviously get ID'd ,-)) However, there really is absolutely no-one normal or decent and I don't want to run the gauntlet of weird rude people and flakes (this may be also down to my current resilience levels, of course!). Agree also about events often being oversaturated with older people (even ones directed at 30 somethings seem to have a lot of men who. erm. have stepped into a 20 years plus time loop) Or international people new to town so cool people but not really social or dating prospects as there isn't that much common cultural ground, and they're mainly trying to learn the basics and get established! Or difficult " people struggling with social skills .. Again, everyone has to have a chance to get out there, and I'm more than happy to chat for an evening to someone awkward - But not really that useful for dating or introductions! Overall I'm trying to bite the bullet and just try a few light things ..I've started local "Shut up and Write" for work, going to events which broadly align with my interests (eg I'm not a mountain biker or canoer so I'm not going to start just for men) BUT may have some men there. My strategy is just going to be to scrub up ok, slowly build up networks and not overdo things too much. Definitely practice self-care as a lot of the people out there "in the wild" can be a bit emotionally difficult! I think it isn't necessarily spotting Mr Right on the first meetup (I'd have to fight my way to him given the F/M ratio at some events) but just building those social networks up a bit. If something occurs, good, but not trying too hard and if an event or a person is a dead end or difficult just cut it out straight away.
