Honestly, do shared hobbies in clubs where there will be single women, and don’t be too weird if the vibe isn’t right. A lot of anime / table game hobbies usually have women that are taken, because their boyfriends/husbands get them interested in it.

A lot of Women move to / live in Maine to do hiking, biking, Skiing (AT/XC), other light active sports, etc socially to maintain relationships. When I’m out on the trails, it’s usually a large group of women with 1-2 dudes. I hardly ever see a group of chads broing out unless it’s at a mountain bike park.

A lot of Men move to / live in Maine for isolation. Ice fishing, hunting, ATVing, things that require low social interaction. This is a growing problem, because it impacts how people interact in towns and cities. As their social skills deteriorate, they don’t question their incompatibility with others but question others inability to align with the man’s needs.

That type of clash will always leave each sex thinking “why can’t I find a partner?” If women are only swiping through camo wearing fish pics or men wearing all black with katanas.

Thank you for you suggestion, unfortunately I am not into skiing and or hiking. My hobbies/interests are almost all indoor activities. Which makes it hard for me to meet people. It seems like Maine mostly has outdoor activities and that is what its known for. You sound mostly correct about the dynamic going on in Maine besides Southern Maine.

If your existing hobbies aren’t helping you, try expanding and doing something new. Go take some evening courses or art workshops, for example. Or join a book club. Or learn how to dye yarn and crochet/knit. Volunteer for local food pantries or non-profits.

It might be worth looking into discord communities for the games you like to play! I haven’t poked around much but maybe there’s a Maine gamers server or something that you could connect with people on that have common ground with you
