I looked on meetup.com and I couldn't find a single meet up in North Dakota, although I didn't look exhaustively. You just go to meetup.com and check out your county and see.
Do you have a library? Sometimes they have resources of organizations or activities.
Do you live in a neighborhood? You could have a neighborhood barbecue.
I laughed at him too but he was a real Dapper guy from Chicago who could draw a crowd. It worked for him, not for me. I volunteered at the local animal rescue and went out and got involved, eventually when you start bumping into the same people out.
I'm responding to your post from today (which I somehow missed and I think you're taking a wee bit personally). I've looked for clubs with hunting and fishing but haven't found squat unfortunately. I tried one but the president was so flaky so I gave up on that. Is Sierra Club that active in this part of the country? I don't think people under 50 join things like Elks or Moose anymore. I'll look but that's been my experience anyway. I am in a photo club but it's not too active.
You are right, I am taking it personally...I have read your responses to mine & other posters offers of help, and you are a "wee bit" sarcastic.
Establishing a social life in a rural area with no family or close friends nearby is a huge challenge...most people, like my family, lived there for generations, they have their social circle & life routines well-established, they don't need you...you need them.

Lotsa luck!
Maybe I am a bit sarcastic but I'm also honest and some of the posts I've heard are out of touch or completely misunderstanding the point. And trust me, I don't need people like the family and friends you're describing.

Funny. I've heard the laundromat is supposed to be a place to meet people.
Doesn't bingo generally cater to the 65+ crowd? I'm not against playing bingo but that seems like it could be awkward.
Not necessarily. The people you meet might like you ("You're not like other Millennials; you play bingo with us!") and they'll want to hook you up with their daughters.
