> You could also just go to a bar, it would work too but it'd be more difficult generally. Shyness also doesn't make it happen in a bar.

A word of caution though, if you make friends at a bar, all your friends will be people who hang out at bars. May make your life a bit more Norm Peterson than planned.

Haha yeah but you could also meet occasional bar-goers if you only visit the bar in weekends. I've met very different kinds of people in bars.
Well, statistically, the people you are most likely to meet in a bar are the people that are most likely to be in a bar.
Statistically, if you meet ten people in a bar, how many of them are from the group that is "most likely to be in a bar?"
