Asking for a friend: what are some places where a rationalist software engineer in a medium US city can meet like-minded women? O' top o' my head: - Animal shelters, volunteering. - Art galleries and events. - Non-industry exclusive events around psych/bio/education. Where else?

Huh. I hate any structured pairs dancing where it's easy to talk and meet, I love ecstatic dance but can't imagine how I could successfully flirt with anyone there. And I'm afraid my friend is less into dancing and less extroverted than I am.

social (partnered) dancing tends to appear to highly introverted people because it gives 1. a skill to learn with concrete 'correct' steps 2. a clear format for interacting with other people 3. the ability to connect intimately with other people
