Define interesting.

If by interesting you mean people who enjoy the same topics of conversation as you do then pick a topic.

Figure out what people interested in that topic do, where do they go.

Go there.

Defining interesting is an exercise that's left up to the reader ;)

I personally think it's fascinating to talk to people who are unlike myself, but your approach is definitely valid (if a bit "draw the rest of the f**ing owl") for a given interest.
