Comment on Americans: How the hell do you meet new people or get into relationships after college?

  You don’t need to get shitfaced at a bar. 1 drink per hour is under the legal limit for driving. I find it’s enough to loosen up and if you politely decline further drinks nobody will bother you. And if they’re pushy order a sprite with a twist on the rocks. So it looks like you’re drinking alcohol but really you’re staying sober

    Yeah, you do. If you want to be part of the group. Otherwise you are ‘weird’ and they don’t like you.

  I suppose thats the point of recommendations, they aren’t telling you you have to get into sports.

  This is my problem with meeting people, only I don’t like to drink (or smoke for that matter). The smell drives me insane so I don’t even like being around people who do it unless I’m getting paid for it.

    Yeah it makes it difficult. I used to smoke and honestly it was much easier to meet people that way.

    It’s much easier to socialize when you engage in negative behaviors.
