You'll probably make better friends.

This is the best "advice duck" meme I've ever seen. Thank you Smitty.

This is actually amazing advice, if you bring your friends who don't want to go they won't enjoy it. I've met many of my friends at the archery range this way.

But... I like to go places where I'll be alone.

For me it's more likely that I would encounter a bunch of groups of people hanging out with their friends.
