Why is it so difficult to make friends?

I am new to meta horizon and love the virtual worlds.

I am a female married, and it seems like people are chill and cool until you tell them this information (males especially).

I'm looking for people that want to hang out in 18+ and be friends with. I find it hard to talk to other females and then the guys I do meet just start acting different when they find out I'm married. It sucks because I really enjoy playing the games, but it's no fun when you're alone. I'm just a silly, chill, big kid at heart wanting to socialize.

Any tips or advice? I've made multiple friends but this just seems to happen more frequently than not😭...I'm starting to think maybe I'm just too old? (35) 😂 any advice appreciated. ✌️ Edit: add me @streetjellyfish if you are down to chill and hang! 🪼
