Not fully sure where people(women) my age tend to hang out.

For context I’m 28M. I live in SWFL. I’ve been rolling solo since for a whole now. One of the biggest struggle I’ve had since moving here 7 years ago is the amount of older folk in the area vs anyone who’s somewhat close to my age. I’m still just at a lost on where to I should be hanging out to have a better chance at stumbling across those who seem my age. I would say most the people are 45+. And most being around that retirement age. I dont think I’ve had a proper random conversation with anyone under the age of 40 so far this year( work not included).

I am the introverted type who doesnt always know what to do to open up more. I’ve never step foot into a crowded bar or club. As I struggle with loud music/lights/bumping into people and so I do ussally make a point to even try on like a friday or Saturday night( work nights any way) I do get sundays for free time but everywhere I kinda go is chill but always just filled with older folks. You know when I have the free time.

Am I just being dumb about the situations?. I am on the spectrum so I know I can be pretty naive about basic things at times. I just dont even know what people around my age are even doing or are into that’s around my age. Find places where it mainly 20s and 30s flusters me. I only seem to see children,teen,parents and older folks but cant seem to pick out people my age.

Just for context meetup.com had over 10 active options for people 45+ the only active 20s,30s group is a over an hour drive because it’s for a different area altogether. The closest mall that isnt dead is 45 mins, beaches alere an hour or 2 depending. Semi rural

Hope this post was easy to follow.
