that is sad—I know a friend in rural Nebraska who is in a similar predicament (college) and he says if it wasn’t for LW, he might have just concluded that people were just un-awesome.
It is sad that demographics limits potential awesome-seekers. That is another reason why I admire Eliezer so much for making this online community.

Living in rural Missouri limits my opportunities to interact with similar awesome-seekers.
I run a meetup in St. Louis, if you’re ever in the area.

Thanks! I’m actually about an hour south of STL...
What ties you to rural Missouri?
Wife, child, family, friends, business.
