re: Cant stand this guy in my new GF's social circle

I'm resuming violin lessons (haven't played in 12 years but played for 10 years as a kid) this week. I'm also heading to a beginning Spanish meet up group and am thinking about joining a kickboxing class down the street from my condo (I already belong to a gym and am in probably the best shape of my life, but I feel like it would be a good place to meet people).

I think my biggest weakness is no good male friends up here. I'm going to ride this out and try to improve myself as quick as possible. If the relationship doesn't work out at least I'll have started laying the foundation to make myself a better person.

Does anybody else have any ideas of how to organically meet swaggy bros in a new town? Meetup groups seem kind of lame but I'm pretty desperate at this point. I am a good athlete but feel like the athletic teams are more conducive to lifelong friends who don't seem eager to add a new dude to their social circle. I could be wrong on that.
