Having trouble meeting people who have the same interests as me

I am getting fed up with spending all my time alone and feel like life is passing me by. I have a lot of "friends" but I do not hang out with them anymore because all they want to do is watch TV, get drunk and play computer games. I find this boring and I have dozens of interests ranging from hiking to camping to boating and many others but I have no one to enjoy these things with. A lot of the things I like to do are too dangerous to do alone especially since I am a young woman and there are a lot of crazies out there so I end up not doing them as much as I would like. I spent years hanging out with my so-called friends doing the things they like doing but when it comes time for me to ask them to do something I like doing, they either come up with a dozen excuses or they downright refuse to join me.....are there ways for me to meet people who have the same interests as me. I have tried and tried but I keep meeting the same deadbeats who have no zest for life and I feel like life is passing me by as I sit here by myself not enjoying the things I enjoy doing....any suggestions??

Look up your interests on the net and see if there are any clubs near you. Ask at fitness centers if they know any groups that like the things that you do. No reason to hang with the losers, reach out to your own kind and enjoy life!
