Meeting cool people at uni

Push the aspies to go for beers a little bit more, even if they aren't boring they probably have cool friends. the mutual friends channel doesn't require too much effort

I've tried that a bit with mixed results. The thing is that they're usually fine when it comes to politics but they make me cringe otherwise.

I'd like to find some friends to just relax with and party with.

push your flatmates to go out for beers.

>>17715858
I would, but they all go their separate ways.

I wouldn't be posting here if I saw that as a solution.

I don't know how.

I usually just talk to people in class, or at parties, and let my charisma hang out. I get invited to other parties by the people I meet and monkeyrope myself through society until I catch a few that stick.

Incidentally the second guy I used as a primary access point when I started university stuck extremely well, so I guess it's also a matter of luck.

Don't worry buddy, it took me about the same time to find the cool people, you sure will.

Yeah, I do know some people I could use like that, maybe I'm just a little impatient?

Thanks for the encouragement.

possibly. it's also possible your standards are too high.

about people in clubs being aspies:

that's probably true. The way to meet people that aren't aspies with those specific interests is by networking (if you're interested).

the sane folk with active interests don't just join clubs, they act. maybe with politics it's different, but in my circle of interest (business), the select few that have a genuine interest in the subject matter have active moonshot operations. If you talk to enough people you will eventually find out who these people are, and very often you can just hit them up on FB or something, sit down and talk about your respective investments, and the topic often naturally evolves to politics, economy, philosophy, gossip, whatever.

the problem with clubs is that there are a lot of pretenders and phonies. you have to get your information from other parts.

Maybe, maybe i'm a little uptight

>the sane folk with active interests don't just join clubs, they act. maybe with politics it's different,

The clubs I am talking about generally do act, I'm signing up to do competitions in debating, and we pamphlet for the republicans.

I mean, the people are fine for the politics, i'd just like to find normal people too.

Just go to party and meet party people who are regularly there
Theyll respect you most of the time and sometimes interesting enough to be friend
Talk about your interest and see if they know something about it

My roommates never seem to want to hang out with me.

I went to the campus bar alone one night and met a bunch of older students who took me to their apartment and they drank and did coke.

Maybe not the best people to hang out with but you're best method of meeting new people is that I think, I really had troubles otherwise

Play Big 2 with them. Worked for me.
