>>81605570>doesn't know you can make friends in your 20sThat aside, I'm a short ugly ND brown mutt hapa and made my only adult friends specifically by regularly going to my local indie cinema in college. Tickets were dirt cheap thanks to the post-COVID audience slump and the community was pretty open/academic about the movies, so you could reliably get a nice post-movie convo if you were lucky. Eventually found a group and got dinner with them before the movie each week and it grew from there.
Anon, if I can do it, you can too.
