Can shorten this process substantially:
Men associate with one another primarily on commons interests, which may or may not include career stuff too.
All my pals, to a man, were met via grad school, motorcycling, or my line of work (which is also a hobby, aka an interest. No one lasts here unless they live and breathe information technology.)
If Meetup is the best way to do that, great. Helped that I had expert licenses in a couple of my interests, and instructed/tutored some of it. Former students are now friends, as well as peers. Doesn't matter what city; that would be the process I'd undertake in any new town.
