I don’t think you need to limit yourself to the LW community. I’m fairly certain that you can relate to a lot of other people. Start checking out meetup.com for local groups near you that sound interesting, and make some friends. I don’t know how grown ups make friends, though.
Yeah, I’ve checked out meetup.com before. Good idea, by the way, there is an atheist group near here, but their activity seems to have died off, and there only seems to be a few people who are active. But this is a good reminder to look into it further.
Just to give you an idea of what I’m dealing with, however, one of the most active groups local around here seems to be the Tea Party Patriots.
Keep an open mind, you might be surprised. There might be a few thoughtful libertarians there just because its a focal point for people of that persuasion.
If you’re in a low activity area, that might mean that you have to take more initiative and be more of a leader/organizer in making things happen. Create your own Rationalist community :)

Toledo also has a democratic party, believe it or not. You could maybe get involved with them, if you find the left more appealing.
