I think if people are really attracted to each other, either romantically or platonically, they will find a way to meet up, especially nowdays, when you can be at the other side of the globe within a day.
However, I imagine the kind of people who are into reading Ray Peat's work might not be very numerous and at the same time perhaps not the most sociable, and instead tending to cherish a certain level of solitude.
Where do you live? Maybe there are some people here from that area, who are willing to meet up.
