How is a guy supposed to meet girls after college? I'm 22 and graduated in May; I have a job, but I do Technology/Engineering so it's pretty much all guys. I had a pretty serious gf in college but we broke up at the beginning of the year and I haven't dated anyone since..
Any tips or advice guys? Please don't say online dating. I tried okcupid for a little bit but the experience was pretty crappy and I connect with people better in real life.

Given your last two sentences, I'd suggest finding some dating/singles Meetup groups. That'd probably be your best option, because then you know the people who attend are there for the same reason you are. An even more organic option would be to join other various organizations around town, maybe some volunteering. But there's no guarantee at those places that you'll find other single people. Co-ed sports teams may work. Outside of OLD though, it seems like every girl I meet who I like is in some kind of relationship or just got out of a relationship and has a ton of baggage.
Move to a big urban city where you can meet people everywhere at all times. That or move to silicon valley where you are more likely to click with the girls.
I met people at parties, at shows, through friends, at bars, at a bus stop, at beer festivals, and through OLD.
That's me.
Edit: Forgot, alumni functions and sports groups.
Good ideas. I go to bars pretty often but usually with friends and I don't really talk to women there.
As far as hobbies I like playing bass, video games,going to the gym, jogging etc.
Not the most social stuff in the world unfortunately. I'll have to look into clubs in my area.

The standard advice, as others have already said, is to follow your hobby interests or try new ones. Take a photog class, a Chi Gong class at the gym or wherever. If you like to garden or grow your own food, see if your community has communal garden plots--great way to meet women. Co-ed sports leagues or singles hiking clubs. Political action groups. Volunteer at your local food co-op--popular with women. Go to the outdoor music fests and art fairs. If you like art, do your town's monthly gallery-hopping night, the art walk. Opening night at museum shows. Concerts. The list is endless. For that matter, the damn grocery store. Women are everywhere, man! The catch is, in order to meet 'em, you have to actually talk to 'em. But it doesn't take much, in some cases. Just put yourself out there.
And yeah, music is a great angle! Join a group. There's always somebody who needs a bass. If you don't know anyone, check with the music dept. at your local college.
