I moved to a new (American) city of just under a million people 2 months ago to pursue a job with a fortune 100 company, my first real job out of college. It's difficult, boring, and stressful, but there is good potential to move up.

I need to get a life outside of work to keep my sanity. I have a few buddies at work but no real friends. I had a big social group in college and had few problems getting girls. Here I pretty much go to work and to the gym. What are some pointers you guys have to build a social life? What kind of activities do you get involved in? Also, where do you like to go to pick up women? I dont want to shit where I eat at my gym or my work of course.

I'm planning to pick up jiu jitsu but I'm wondering what else i can do.
