I suspect what you’re missing is that the vast majority of people have never heard of mutual aid groups, including myself.

Could you explain what a mutual aid group is and how someone would go about finding one?

Some might, but many wind up with a partner because they fall in love with eachother. It’s like having an ultra best friend you get to live with.

Stay out there, enjoy your hobbies, and friendships will form naturally with like-minded people :)
