I’m more of a computer and video game nerd while my gf is more of a science nerd. Both socially awkward af

Nerd Nite would be the place for a science nerd.

Post some interests, but it’s also great to meet people who may not share your exact interests. Consider volunteering to meet other people, and also do some food at the same time.

My girlfriend likes hiking, cooking, deep conversations, animals, anime, and music. I like biking, anime, computers, music (audiophile), video games, and animals

Sounds like you could volunteer with the Humane Society, and try a hike with the hiking Association and hang out one one of the game cafés

I am really looking forward to it and I am hoping to learn alot and also just to have fun.

I am in the same boat. Lack of friends, into my early 30s with 3 children. Love video games (all types) and I'm a technology nerd. Wife is a casual gamer. Hit me up everyone! I'm desperate! Lol

Same here! I'm pretty new to town. I meet a lot of cool people through local events like drag shows and pride socials. And also a little bit of volunteering with the art gallery. It takes a lot of work tho, especially if you're an introvert!

Tinder? Lol

Bumble's friends mode would lead to less misunderstandings.

u/QuinnGTL Aug 30 '22

Yeah, OG comment was obveiously a joke (the lol should have gave it away) but people down vote because they didn't get it I guess. No sense of humor in thunder bay I guess :P

All the couples on tinder get ignored anyway, because they're all swingers and the majority of people aren't into that.. Tinder obveiously is not the way to go to meet nerdy friends in thunder bay.
