You say that, but my wife and i have done most of the things i listed above and made friends this year. We joined a gym that had tennis group lessons and now we meet just with people to work out, i joined a soccer team and now have been meeting up with folks for watching world cup games. My wife joined a mahjong class and now has regular games together with her class mates even though theyre not in class any more. She joined a book club that gets together once a month. My brother decided he wanted to get in shape so joined a triathlon club and completely changed his way of life and now travels the world with his new friends.
Either youre being disingenuous or you havent actually tried these things
