How to make friends outside of the internet?

Question

It's easy to communicate with friends along the internet (Posting videos, type blogs, and responding on message boards). All my life, I don't have a permanent friend or a friend that I've known all my life. Even worse is that every interviewer, co-worker, and/or classmate that I've met throughout my entire life, simply don't like me that much than those who have been close them. Is there any way to gain a friend, let alone a permanent one? And does beauty (i.e. hygenie, sexyness, talking-ability,etc) and/or being able to say explicitives on a regular basis have a big impact upon meeting people?

I grew up as an army brat so I can identify. Every few years I would find myself friendless and on the outside with a new set of rules and standards to adjust to.

One thing I found helpful was doing activities that I liked. It could be gaming or sports or anything just go out and do what you like. If you like to role play go to a local comic book store and ask about when they have their tournaments. If you like sports start going to the gym and find some adult leagues to join. I love to brew beer, so I joined the local home brewers association. The thing is to find other people who have similar interest and then get involved.

Beauty has nothing to do with a true friend in my opinion...my true friends will love me no matter what, thats the type of person that you need.  I have a few close friends from school that I've kept in contact with, we share similar traits, and then I meet people through them, and then when I go out, either to a bar or something like that, and just start talking with people.  Its best if you get involved in a club or sport, that way usually there is someone there that has the same interest as you, so its easier to talk with them.  As you grow up you'll find someone, give it time, the only thing you can do is get to know people by talking.  Be yourself, dont change who you are in the process.  If you go on a trip somewhere with a tour group that forces you to get to know people, you could always try that.

appearance and language does have an affect on first impressions. i know i'm kind of taken back if the first time i meet someone they're swearing a lot or appear a certain way (i know it's horrible to judge but most of us are guilty). is there any interests you have outside of school or work such as art or poetry. try going to outside activities because that way you can meet people with common interests as you and it's easier to talk to someone or start a friendship when you find common ground with that person
