It is a sad thing to admit, and sad it truly is, to have no form of social network in your twenties.

This is not, absolutely true, having embellished the story slightly for impact. But the fact of the matter stands. My social network consists of ne'er-do-wells, animu-weeaboo faggots and Warhammer fantasy players. Relics from my nerdy teenage years. Now, there is nothing wrong with loafing occasionally, and enjoying the odd animu every now and then, and Warhammer is still a passionate hobby of mine, sometimes, or most of the time, I feel my life is lacking some oomph.

Also, the problem escalates, as stoners, 14 year old cosplayers, and neckbeards, while mildly entertaining, don't really serve any function. This is importanty as I am a great believer that friendships should be mutually beneficial.

1.They're useless if I want business contacts.
2.They're useless if I'm looking for a mentor.
3. They're useless for demonstrating high value.
4.They're useless for any social gathering outside their narrow interests.
5.They're useless for introduction to the class of ladies I desire.

Now, what I have done thus far to improve the situation...

1.Started a Facebook account. ( Years too late)
2. Gone out more. I try to go out at least twice a week, when my schedule permits.
3. Try to garner contacts from the afore mentioned friends.


How else could I break out from this social rut?

Depending on the size of the city you live in there may be a lot of networking groups, meetups and business events going on at all times. If you are interested in developing a network of successful business associates, skip the bar scene unless it's a business after hours thing.

What I do/did in a situation like this is rather than delete them utilize the lists provided by Facebook to not only privatize information you don't want them to have and save status updates for the people you do want to see them. This way you can have the friends list of a really social person, while having content designed for a small group of friends. There's a lot more detail that I could give for how I did it, but I'll save that for if you're interested. PM if you are.

Your life is a reflection of who you are, not what you want. So if you want to change your circumstances, you have to change who you are and how you live. It doesn't mean you have to give up your old hobbies and friends altogether, but if that's where you spend most of your time, that's what you'll get back also.

As the other mentioned, look for opportunities and activities to meet new people. New hobbies, networking events, clubs, etc. Become a regular at a coffee shop, restaurant, bar and nightclub where you will bump into new people.

If you have your own place, organize parties and encourage your friends to invite others. That'll bring new people into your life.
