Because dance and many physical activities are so (duh) physical, the process of making friends is accelerated tenfold. I'm in a country where I don't speak the language well but I'm making friends in a couple months that feel like it's been 6 or 8 months.

In the case of female friends, dance helps a lot. Maybe 80% friends are female. In the case of men, sports. In that case 80% men.

I like to have both types of friends. My wife agrees it's very healthy for my life.

ok, that's nice but are they _friends friends_ -- as in, do those friendships in any way rival what you have with e.g., uni/high school friends?

Making friends later in life...how do you "eat a bag of salt together"?
