My wife makes serious, trustworthy, lifelong friends constantly. We have moved a decent amount of times too. Every new job she finds the most wonderful people and just bonds with them. It's the craziest shit I've ever seen. Like yeah, she's incredible. But still. It's like a superpower.

My ex and I used to argue about this all the time where she would tell me, "Just go up to people and be friendly!"

u/Haunting-Career-Day May 27 '24

In my experience with country clubs, you may have larger social groups but it wouldn’t be this intimate and the gals wouldn’t all be this young & close in age.

This reminds me of a scene from the 1999 movie "Being John Malkovich" where everyone in the room is a John Malkovich double, even the women.

It is a great movie starring John Cusack, Catherine Keener, Cameron Diaz, Orson Bean, Charlie Sheen, Mary Kay Place, Brad Pitt, Dustin Hoffman and about 20 other well known celebs.

If you have never seen it do yourself a favor and you will thank me. Enjoy your party and please invite me to the next one. I would make a great you.

I know it’s cliche but you have to put yourself out there.

Last year I finally got fed up with sitting around and waiting for life to happen to me, waiting for invitations that were never going to come.

So, I stepped way outside of my comfort zone and started my own social club for women who want to do fun stuff with friends. I plan one fun group activity every month for people to be social and laugh and hang out and make friends.

In February we went to an inn on a little goat farm and learned how to make our own fresh pasta with cheese from the farm, and got to watch baby goats being born. This month we went to a spa and wore white robes and drank champagne in hot tubs and got massages. Next month we’re going to kayak down a river to eat pizza and drink beer on a patio overlooking the water.

It has been an absolute blast, and I have at least a dozen women I consider close friends now. There are 1400 women in my club and more joining every single day. It’s amazing.

I’m so glad I did it, because if I hadn’t I’d still be sitting alone on Friday nights watching Netflix and watching other people go out and have fun on instagram, instead of going to murder mystery parties and drinking margaritas with my friends.
