Bowling league is a good suggestion.

You also might want to try A dart league

or look for a soup kitchen to volunteer for, that always looks good on a college app!(if your not in college yet)

join an amateur pool league - it really helps improve your game, besides the darts bit can go with it:)

If you should learn a partner dance. Latin and tango are by far the most fun types of partner dancing IMHO. Learning how really boosts your confidence in asking chicks to dance/out on dates as well. Otherwise, swing is good, but it'll just get old after awhile if you don't graduate into lindy-hop. The thing about latin and tango is that they're such intimate dances. you have to be so close to the partner, and that just releases a very attractive, sensual atmoshpere, making the dance that much more fun.

There aren't many dojos around where I am, but if I could start up on Martial arts again, I'd try to learn from something more authentic than your run of the mill &quot;John Doe's Karate academy&quot;. Those all just become tournament oriented and lose their philosophical qualities. If I were you, and I would stick to a discipline that teaches both hand-hand and weapon combat. Kung-Fu, Kenjutsu, or something of the like. Just search the net for more info, it's pretty easy to find.

The reason I suggest these is that they're graceful skills, requiring you to learn a great sense of coordination, as well as being great forms exercise and social activity.

One night a week go out to the most trendy bar in your city, find some pretty boy with a hottie, walk up and kiss her. Should get you a good workout on those nights.

<< Take a flight lesson. >>


That sounds cool too Crab....

I actually was have been contemplating that for a long time....

To get a license takes some moola, and then to ever rent a plane is a bunch more moola.

Hmmm, time to make more moola at my job.....

Anyone want to offer me a 6 figure salary job?

Where would the kind of people you would like to meet most likely find YOU?
Depending on your interests, you may run into like-minded folk in a particular section of a large bookstore. You know, the kind of bookstore that encourages comfortable browsing and has a coffee/pastry/whatever area.

Also, bookstores like that usually have postings of group meetings for various interests.
