Ask HN: Where do people meet up socially at least once a week?

People looking to improve their social lives often get the advice to find and stick to a group setting where they're exposed to the same people regularly and can build relationships with them. What are these social settings, and how well do they "work"? Here are some I've been able to brainstorm: - work - church - DOTA - have children and go outside with them - get a dog and take it to dog parks - running club - faith-based fitness (like F3) - hang out at the neighborhood Starbucks/Panera a lot - approach strangers at the gym - men's communities (like Sacred Sons) - go back to college - improv/acting/art/language classes at the adult annex Here are some that aren't very effective: - tech meetups (monthly at best, no one comes twice) - group hike meetups (same issues, too much churn) - singles groups (too focused on dating/finding a mate) - coworking spaces (people don't really socialize there)
