Missionaire: It can work. I'm not also in Lagos. I'm in one of the NC States. You can check sporting events and groups on meetup. Sports that are "interactive" are highly engaging and present opportunities to network and bond. For example, you may go bike riding alone but you can't play table tennis, lawn tennis, basketball, volleyball etc alone.
Maybe you can pick up another sport in addition to the one you already have. If you are close to any military barracks, you can go there. We usually have basketball courts, lawn tennis courts, volleyball and football courts and fields in barracks and cantonments.
You can also join a service group in your church if you are a Christian. Also, depending on the indoor games you play, you can find game fan groups on Facebook and even on meetup. You may find someone close to you that you can play with.
If you lived here you will know that most of these meets won't work. Ladies here careless about smart fun. Drinks, sx and booze. Talk intelligent first and you find them dialing a guys number in your face. Not to be negative though. I believe there are exceptions that I am yet to find.
Missionaire: For me, I like my space. The people I hardly make friends with are church members. They can abuse it. When you allow them come close to you, they begin to assume friendships. They would want to come to your house at odd hours especially when you work from home. When you try to tell them that you are busy, you would look like a snub to them. Brethren can inconvenience brethren. They want to use your towel and soap to bathe. There is nothing I hate than seeing hair on my soap.
They abuse it. Before you know it, they will want to borrow money from you and they never pay back. When you want to get angry, they say you act like an unbeliever. They don't understand that you need Your Own space and everybody should be productive and active with their time.
Communal living in this our present dispensation has done more harm than good. It has bred a sense of entitlement and laziness amongst people especially church people.
I like conversations that have depth especially in Tech, Education, Governance, Psychology etc. I'm sapiosexual. These days, it is difficult to find people especially ladies that you can have intelligent conversations with. I keep few friends. And they have been worth it.
I never looked at the church friendship from this angle. Someone here recommended the church friendship thing. Seeing your post will definitely get me reconsidering joining. I like my space and only like sharing it with interesting peeps.

Ahah.. I knew it. It seems lagos and Abuja is where the smart ones reside. To find smart hard brother. I am an introvert and I can bet you that it's a pain in the ass to get a sane conversation with a lady these days.
Please do explain something. I see you guys being in a relationship for two weeks, two months etc. I have not dated in donkey years because I always thought dating means road to marriage. It seems I have not been in Nigeria. How does this work. I rarely ask for relationships I literally fear it.
MrUchenna1: WATCH Telemundo THREE TIMES DAILY FOR THREE MONTH.
Lofmao.. How do you guys think about comments like this. You got me laughing man. This divine intervention you just gave the OP would definitely make me loose my mind.
dauntless15: On the contrary bro I'm not a boring person, I don't mean to brag but all the girls I've met have this subpar level of intelligence, they don't know alot, so they're not interested in the things I'm interested in, and those who act like they're interested don't really know what I'm talking about so they end up making a fool of themselves, I sometimes act like I'm interested in what they are interested in just to keep the conversation going but at the end it becomes a question and answer session where I ask the question and they answer with monotonous replies and they won't bother asking me back or contributing, besides what will you be discussing with a girl who only knows how to fix nails and makeup? Since I can't find someone as intelligent as I want I lowered my expectations, this is why it seems like I'm a boring person, trust me I'm not, although your first point is kinda true.
We share some commoness and you must be an ambivert. Are you based in Lagos?
Senomi: @megatran The biggest problem for me is trying to find same like minded and highly intelligent people ( that I like, and who are of the same age group) almost everybody talks 100% nonsense and bullshit, I don mute and almost block everybody for whatsap becos of how dumb, irritating and cringy their ways of seeing life is..... ThankGod for internet, I enjoy peace and have sane and highly intelligent conversations from people of other races, even a white dude at point I was talking to him I asked of his age I thought he was around 22, I was shocked wen he told me he was just 15......so I strongly believe no one should force themselves to create friendships and hv conversations with people who aren't up to their standards it's highly frustrating I tried it for yrs and I preferred jumping into a lagoon at a point, just cut off dumb people from ur life abeg, but just pretend to go along with them for the sake of peace, or just walk out totally and if they see ur action in a different way, they can go to hell if they want, anybody can fvckin go to hell if they want!
I can relate. I had to get on with the Metaverse vibe with the aim of meeting more intelligent people. I have met a number of them on there. They are always suprised when I tell them I am a Nigerian. Apparently, Nigerians and Africans as a whole have not started porting to the new world. The difficult part for me is that I am looking for that intelligence and smart in ladies mostly. Probably, because I am getting older and the innate need for "settlement" bugs on me. It's difficult I tell you.
Lostchild: In my 20's, being around people, friends and old buddies was fun. It was the best time of my life, but as I grow up, the real me began to emerge. I can work with people, but I no longer find people fun to be with.
This is so me. It seems as we age, tolerance for people naturally reduces.
Missionaire: Hmmm... 1. Identify your interests. 2. Download the eventbrite app to find events in your area of interest in your location / City. Also check out the Meetup platform. Does similar thing although I think this one even had groups you can join. 3. Attend the events and network.
Nice one. However I am not located in Lagos. I don't think that app will work in Akwa Ibom state. As per interests, outdoor sports like riding and site seeing. For indoors, it's mostly tech, gaming and experiences.
I will be posting youtube links of my videos in which I play different games and experiences using the oculus quest 2. I will like to meet anyone who has the device too.
This is what I am doing. It isn't a Wal in the park. I know my problem are people related as I have tried satisfactory means without luck. I have learnt that you can have wealth but without like minded people you would find yourself back in your shell.
Lostchild: I wish I could go and live in space with no one to disturb me.
But
On earth here, I relate with people only in a professional level, and I prefare communicating via writing than talking.
I don't speak much, but I meditate and think a lot over anything and everything.
I like everything to be done in perfect order and in a professional level.
In conflict, I prefare dialogue (peace talk) with deeper understanding.
When I get married, my wife will have her own room, while I have mine. I will not share bed room with my wife as I don't need disturb. I need 3 hours alone time to recharge every day, if not my health will deteriorate. (fatigue)
I don't tolerate noise unless there is music. I don't know how I will adjust when kids comes Into my life.
My two best friend are books and my TV. I read a lot of great deals of book and explore the world via
(National Geography channel) (NatGeo wild) (Travel Channels). These channels remind me that, the world is huge and full of possibilities.
The past few years have been draining. Being around people who are emotional than logical gets to me. Most of my dates do not end well. My question to you is how do you find people fun?
I have noticed that for the past two years I have been gradually finding myself disassociating with people. I leave alone and sometimes I try to go online hopefully to meet people. When I meet people I over listen and chip in questions here and there to understand them and it mostly always ends up in misunderstanding. Its almost like I expect them to act in a particular way. I have tried indulging in men's toys cars, bikes quads, tech and I haven't really had long excitement. When I heard of the Metaverse and the ability to leave the real world and go anywhere I was excited to get in there. Probably with the idea that I may find like minds on there. However, for some reason I got bored and rarely go in there except for some light gaming.
In summary, I will like to know if anyone shares these experiences and if you were able to find a cure or solution, I would love to hear it.
I am rocking this beat saber game for this month. Playing games in virtual reality can never be compared to console I tell you. You can check out the videos I made below and you will have no doubt that what I say is true.
I have always wondered how it would feel like to be closest to the western world in terms of technology and amongst all new tech, virtual reality has caught my fancy..
Admist all these sad news and madness happening in this country now, it's no surprise that the Metaverse would be an escape from reality which until the twentieth century would have meant unconsciousness or death lol.
Join me on my YouTube journey in the Metaverse.. Sometimes we need the escape from reality. My link is below.
