40F -- would anyone want to have a lil friendship making meetup?

Hi!

I posted on here a long time ago and got a lot of messages, which was awesome and a lil overwhelming, and then I promptly locked myself out of that account and inadvertently ghosted my potential new friends. This is a new auto generated username, and quite frankly I really enjoy it and self identify with it!

I'm a 40F with a grand total of 0 friends in this city. I had a lot in my 20s that slowly started disappearing in my 30s to do things like have kids and live in the suburbs blah. I don't really fit in with most people my age because I can't relate to doing things like having kids and living in the suburbs, and most social meetup things seem to be aimed at 20s/30s. I also do not relate to the going to bed at 8pm because we are now 40 crowd, either. I like to go out and have fun still! Age is simply just a number you know.

I do a LOT of stuff alone and am cool with that, but am starting to feel a bit lonely and would love people to have adventures with, vent about relationships/work/politics, people watch, get high and talk about philosophy, etc.

I just turned 40, am very progressive/liberal and would not get along with someone whos maga, very open minded/open to new experiences (I don't mean that as a sexual hint, pervs), I love travel, being outside (I *want* to like hiking but it's more of being on the summit with a beer I'm enjoying than actually doing it, but willing to try more, also want to try roller skating), lovveee a good dive bar, trying new foods, taking the ferry to PTown/MV in the summer, curb your enthusiasm, always sunny, 420, red wine, trashy reality tv, beach days, trivia nights, thrifting, crafts, painting, literally almost all music except Morgan Wallen style country, concerts, porchfests, blah blah hblah .......

I'm wondering if there are people similar who would maybe like to schedule a meetup at a bar? I used to go to couchsurfing meetups back when that was a thing and it was fun to meet other people and share travel stories etc. I'd be into doing something similar like a weekly meet up but again, am having hard finding ones that include newly turned 40 year old friendless sad ladies like myself. lmk!!!

EDIT: open to any ages! Ideally looking for friends around my age but am happy to hang out with people younger/older etc. I only mention age because I feel I'm getting excluded from meetup type groups now that I've turned 40 I don't fit into the 20s/30s groups which I feel there are a ton of and I'm not seeing many for 40s.

EDIT AGAIN :

I made a WhatsApp group in the middle of the street in the thunderstorm so you can join! Message me for the link.
