Hi, i recently turned 21 in July..I have had good friends in the past but very few and I just moved 40 minutes away from my hometown. I go to a local community college and work in retail. I have male friends who I feel like I can rely on but whenever I need a woman to talk to because it's in regards to issues only other women understand, I find myself dealing with it alone. I'm picky because I want goal-oriented kind friends. They say you're a sum of the 5 people you spend the most time with and i'd like wholesome attributes in my friendships. Where can I meet these people??

Take up women-dominated hobbies: pole fitness or other dance class, sewing classes, other arts and crafts stuff. It worked pretty well for me!

I love this suggestion, thanks so much! I'm not involved in anything yet..

Yes! Can confirm: many of my friends are my “dance friends”... I also have made friends by getting coffee with the other women in my office (we’re in a male-dominated discipline).

Be the organizer! If you know a few gals from work/ school, invite them all to go do something. Invite 20, maybe 5 will go and now you have a group.
Can’t put 20 together from shifts/ class? Go on tinder/ bumble/ OKC, lots of ladies looking for other ladies to go do stuff with.
Make sure the activity is cheap/ free so that it’s not exclusive.
Don’t like the group you got together? Do it again with another 20.

Have you tried this? The bumble / tinder for lady friends? I am having the same issue but was hesitant to try these !

Bumble has a BFF option which is nice ????

Yes, I have. As did a few of my gfs, which is how I found out about it.
Just be clear in your profile that you’re only looking for female friends. Guys on those sites, in general, are NOT there to make friends. Swipe left to all men.

I've talked to on tinder a lot of ladies that seem nice, I've just never followed through with meeting up!

Sports. Sports are gender-segregated, so you'll be with other women guaranteed, and usually people into sports are more driven than average
