I’m in the process of doing the above and would like to hear about your experience. Were there any surprises? What was as you expected?

    If you’re not living a boring life, then you should naturally come across plenty of different people with plenty of different opportunities to make connections.

    “Meeting people at the grocery store” is a lazy and ignorant excuse to justify going to bars. If you think those are your only two options, then you’re the problem and I pity anyone who gets caught in your web.

      And you don’t understand that some people prefer the bar. But I guess you have the only right way to do things.

        If you’re insecure about getting taken for a ride, that’s on you. There’s no argument you can make to change the fact that you are being fleeced when you buy alcohol at bars. Drug addicts say the same things when they are paying 500%+ markup on their drugs. “It’s worth it to them.”

        Keep going to bat for the people ripping you off. It’s what’s expected of you.
