I know it doesn't get proposed much but I am going to throw it out there because it has made somewhat of an impact on me in recent months, but it won't work for every guy and is more geared towards Americans.
After moving to a big city after college, I notice that strangers at bars were not so open to making new friends or talking to new people. Most of the people came with their groups, left with their groups, and hardly entertained allowing an outsider in. I tried MeetUp to see what can be worked out only to find that the events I went to were full of people way older than me and in a different stage of life, so that failed. It was then that I realized in order for social life to be fulfilling, you have to be around a lot of people you're in a similar stage of life as. After realizing that, I turned to this idea.
Here are the pre-requisites for this method to work:
1. You must have gone to college, ideally a big school with a lot of students.
2. You must be living in a big city and at least somewhat closer to the city as opposed to out in the suburbs.
3. You must be in your 20s.
4. You must have some form of social media (ideally Facebook) you can use, even though you don't need to go crazy with it.
How the idea works.
You join an Alumni group for your university and start going to some of their events, you'll find quite a few older alumni but also some you're in the same graduating class with. If you went to a big school, it will have a presence in a lot of major cities.
This is where social media is very important, you end up adding these people as friends on your Facebook account (don't bother with Instagram).
If you linked up and made friends with enough alumni, you will find that some of them will have an idea of what other alumni are doing. The hottest bars, the events to meet them at, and potential house parties. If you were even slightly social in college, you will start to find that you might know some of the same people and find that a lot of them are going to certain bars and getting involved in certain activities. This makes for an easy icebreaker.
The people you meet who are in a similar situation as you will direct you to social activities and places you need to be at so you don't look out of place as much.
I've been a bit shocked to find how I am not feeling as out of place anymore just because I get to go out with people who I have something in common with along with running into a familiar face here and there. I was not the biggest fan of my alma mater due to not having that great of a college experience but you can find a few fun people by using this method.
You will also meet a few hot girls through this.
A lot of former sorority girls who were the hottest on campus tend to stay in touch with their friends from back in school as well as showing up to school events, especially when sports are involved. It leads to a prime opportunity for doing social circle game, especially if you have come a long way since your college days.
