I know it’s a generalization, but I’ve found that my most rewarding friendships tend to be with women. They show more genuine interest in how I’m doing and what I’m up to in life, have deeper conversations about wider topics, and are better at making plans that aren’t just drinking and watching sports.

In the past, most of my women friends have been through my exs or through my other friends’ partners. I miss having an easy path and want to start building more connections but not sure how to go about it without it looking like I have ulterior motives.

I thought about just approaching women in the activities I already do (climbing, running, live music, etc.), but I’m worried it will come across like I’m trying to weasel my way into a hookup or something. Am I overthinking this? Does anyone have advice on how to best go about it?
