Bleak if you're not in the uni. Eventbrite only has events for the 35-50 crowd, and I don't want to use apps since they're transactional and not authentic. Where do people go to find other young people? Don't want to risk doing something at the gym, and pubs and clubs dislike guys coming in by themselves (say a news article a month ago about a club that just doesn't let in lone guys anymore). For guys 22-24 who are newly graduated and got a girlfriend, where did you meet them? I'm assuming most people met on an app or among friends, but I just moved here a month ago and don't want to use apps? All my hobbies are extremely male-dominated. Any advice?

I'm a young guy but I still think things that happened 15 months ago were 6 months ago. Not even a little off, like multiples off the real timescale. Maybe my memory is really bad, anyone else had this happen to them?
