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.

          Lol I’m not insecure, nice try. When I went to a bar I had a pint or three in good company, sometimes, shocker!, we even ate at a restaurant, even if I could have been paying less for something cheap from the supermarket and eat at home.

          But you do you, watch out for scurvy as you eat crappy cheap food alone at home lol, counting every penny.

            Sure bud. That’s why you keep trying to justify to us why you’re not getting ripped off when you are.

            I might as well be talking to a heroin addict. They don’t think they’re getting ripped off, either.

            I’ve sold drugs to people like you before, and it’s always sad when you don’t realize how much money I’m making off of your ignorance.

              So you’re a complete asshole, a drug seller, trying to teach me a valuable life lesson, looooooooooooool 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂

              BTW you’re probably not, just an angsty teenager sitting in mom’s basement and have only seen drugs, bars and friends on TV.

              Go touch grass.
