My wife and I are 31, no kids yet. We moved from a major city back to our home state and are struggling to make friends here.

We keep an eye on meetup postings and Facebook events, stuff like that, no luck. We went to a local board game night and it was all elderly people. Nothing wrong with that but not exactly what we’re looking for.

Where we lived before we attended a church we liked and met people there, but churches in our area are a lot different/more political than we’re used to.

I guess eventually we’ll have kids and meet other parents, but how do we make friends now at this stage in our lives?

Swingers sex cult will get everybody interested. make sure they leave the kids at home, though.
