I&#x27;m curious about how other geeky people here make new friends IRL. I&#x27;m approaching 40 and I&#x27;ve realized that many other people have families and kids and thus seem to have little time&#x2F;interest in making new friends to hang out with or create a new interesting startup with. Do you prefer to stay home, read HN and other news or do you call someone and say &quot;let&#x27;s have a beer&quot; or do you go to meetups and exchange contact details? Or do you do something completely different?<p>I&#x27;m primarily asking for input from people who are not students but who work and don&#x27;t have a family.
Ask HN: How do you make friends / potential startup partners?
