Where to find new friends without getting scammed?

So, I’m trying to build up a new network of friends here as most of my old ones are gone... or busy with families. I’d just want to enjoy some erudite feminine company and have someone to see Dead Pool 2 with this weekend. Twice, in the space of this week I’ve had purported ‘women’ I’ve met online try to scam me. Both trying to get money from me. The police have the details of the first one as it included a fake passport and drivers licence, but it is getting me perplexed as to where to find some good social company here (that may or may not lead to more adult activities).

It was so much easier in Asia.

PoF thus far hasn’t been fruitful. Nor DoubleList. And the latest scam was from AdultHub.
Any suggestions where I don’t have to pay for a subscription to make contact with women looking?

Just a thought - how about forgetting 'online' and talking/meeting up with REAL people in person? It's worked around the REAL world for thousands of years.

I agree... and that is part of what is implied in this question. But I’m not into the club/bar scene... and then is a social distance or ‘coldness’ here in Vancouver. Much easier to meet ladies open for a date in Asia than here. There is an efficiency with the online world where it is faster to narrow in on possible compatibility... but, then into the real world.

The Cloverdale suggestion above is an example of a good idea... which I am grateful for.

Wear a faded western shirt, and a large silver buckle....there's a reason they call em buckle bunnies.
It would probably be helpful if your in the arena riding ,or bulldogging a steer.....if your considering that, you may want to PM me first.

Thanks Sybian... though you won’t find me in the arena. I think I’ve ridden on an elephant more times than I’ve been on a horse. And I’m missing the faded western shirt and silver buckle as well. ��

I'm curious why you say Asia was so much easier. I completely agree with you but I'm wondering if your reasons are the same as mine.

Are you looking for a "... network of friends..." or for a girlfriend? Those strike me as two somewhat different ambitions.

I know the white face helped... and being highly educated and in a respected profession... and it doesn’t carry the same weight here. Westerners are seen as knowing how to treat women better ( though I disagree with this as a universal). There were some I met who simply wouldn’t have anything to do with a local guy. But, there was also a genuine openness and curiousity... and although there might be a reserve, it wasn’t a “shutting you down... don’t talk to me” reserve. And so it was easier to begin the conversation. Much more communal culture/s. And a lot of women also want to practice their English.

But, I am here now, so the question was how best to break in here. And specifically, find a date to see Dead Pool 2 with this weekend as my normal movie buddy hasn’t come back to Canada yet.

I know this doesn't apply....except maybe for the Cloverdale Rodeo but , I meet new people at community functions ( barn dances, and brandings)
Western weddings are a great place as well.....unless of course you happen to be the one getting married.

Nigeria seems to be a good place to meet girls on line. They seem so nice and honest. I am sending my hunny about 10g later today as she wants to come meet me. Her dad also emailed me telling me I was the man he wants to marry his daughter. He plans on transferring a major dowry of 2.5 M if I pay the banking fee of 2k. Will likely arrange that later this week. She is so hot, I would love to have a wife like her. All the women I meet here are skanks and gold diggers. I can't trust any of them.

Join club(s) that do activities that you enjoy. The friendships will come naturally if you join in activities with people that enjoy the same things as you do. For example, there is The Inside Edge. Membership is about $60 a year and they organize events like movie nights, slow pitch league, ski trips, hikes, etc. They own a large ski lodge in Whistler that sleeps 20 or more. Check it out:

https://www.insideedgeclub.bc.ca/

I noticed on their webpage that one of their "Save the date" events is:

Flying U Ranch Weekend (3 days) in September.

A chance for the ladies reading this post to meet a dude ranch version of sybian. No insult intended sybian - I acknowledge that you are a real cowboy and not one that works at a dude ranch.
