- Do you have a religious affiliation? A lot of people go to the social events of their local church/mosque/temple to meet “safer” people. You don’t even have to be that religious, it’s often just a cultural thing.
- Are there any team sports you are interested in? A lot of places have amateur or informal leagues. Similarly, martial arts classes can be fun. If you have a local rec center (local government, not private), check it out.
- What kind of music you like? Local bars, cafes, even some restaurants may set up musicians, and since they’re not some huge concert they can be free or cheap. Support your local music scene!
- You aren’t going to college, but you may want to check out community college. They’re usually inexpensive and you might as well take a class in something you’re really interested in.
- Check out your local public library, a lot of times they have free talks or movies or reading groups.

I’m not religious, but I do love philosophical discussion. It’s a major passion.
Can’t tolerate sports. Parent drama stuff.
I’m into 50s-80s. Going on a tangent here, but practically everyone I know is into kpop, jpop and rap. Meanwhile, I like cassettes. There’s this nearby CD store I could try for a job at…
I’ll consider a community college.
I’ll locate a nearby library. I moved last month, and I’m still orienting myself.
This is pretty good advice, overall!

Most community colleges have a couple good Intro to Philosophy classes you might be interested in.

Sometimes you can find more casual philosophy-focused discussion/reading groups too - I know a few have a presence on Meetup in my area. They meet at a pub or something and discuss a particular topic for the evening.
