I've noticed this topic has come up several times, either as a side conversation in comments or in irc chat. Quite a few of us have lamented not having quality girl friendships that encourage us to be the best first-mates that we can be while avoiding the husband-bashing, you-go-grrl, strong, independent, I don't need no man, if you can't handle me at my worst you don't deserve me at my best.
So where do we find these types of friends? Since you are RPW where do you go when you're looking to find new friends, or are open to making them? Where do you girls hang out for fun?
Lately I haven't had a lot of free time between work, classes, and the SO. But I do try to take some time by myself to go for nature walks and read in the local cafe. However I'm not sure how conducive those activities are to being social and making friends. What about you? Here's some other ideas I've seen around here:
- volunteering
- classes (like art, cooking, language, dance)
- gym (yoga, pilates, butt class [lol I can't remember the name of this but I remember someone making friends there])
- church stuff for the religious folk
- clubs for books, knitting, sewing, etc
- using websites like groupon/livingsocial to find ideas and coupons. On living social there have a section for classes under "Things to do"
Personally, I'm thinking of doing something more fitness related, like a pilates class if I can find something affordable around work. I'm interested in the kind that uses machines since it seems like it would be more fun and offer more neck/back support (whenever I've tried pilates at home I get intense neck pain).
