Chatroulette seems interesting to me... I will try it over the next few days and see if I actually notice any improvement. I find socialising easy and natural when we have something in common (like an interest in games, computers, rationality, programming, or music) but am completely at a loss in other situations. Any chances I can get to talk in a less stressful environment are appreciated. Speaking of which, where can I get statistics on how many less wrong readers there are in each city? I want to see if there are enough in Winnipeg Manitoba to make starting one worthwhile.
Maybe look for a speed-dating event in your area. I recently participated in one, and it was great fun. You spoke to each person about five minutes, then moved on. In the end you gave the organizers a list of the people you wanted the contact information of, and for each person you'd marked, you got the information if they'd also marked you.
At first, I was at loss at what the heck I was supposed to be saying in order for us to get familiar in five minutes. But although the event only lasted for maybe an hour or so, I thought that by the end of the event, I'd already gotten considerably better at it.
I know there's somebody near Winnipeg. I think he's interested in meeting other LWers, too. I've pointed him at this comment.
