First thought is your Denver leftist friends will probably only have other leftists friends so odds are you’ll only meet leftist women through them. It would be very easy to fall in with them, and not have to put yourself out there or work very hard to meet people & develop true friends. The kind folks can count on one hand. People can find things to do no matter where they are. Instead of being entertained as a primary source of social interaction, volunteer you free time to an org that interests you. On second thought, perhaps you should move to Denver, just bite your tongue on political topics.
