So I know everyone will suggest hiking or joining some other club. But I want to meet someone who is my equal and who thrives in solitude and loves going out to places where they don't need to talk to anyone and can be with their own thoughts in peace. Who love thinking deeply about things and exploring ideas.

I've tried clothing stores but it's intimidating to be in the men's section for too long. The library? I don't know, seems hard to catch anyone's gaze.

What's a place where a woman has a good chance to connect with a calm grounded man offline? Someone who likes to have deep connections in their life, to themselves and the people around them? Or online is okay too, if it can lead to offline. I don't like attention on looks so much so it would be great if you could suggest somewhere where there won't be too much attention on that (so not places like the gym filled with people who take selfies all the time - good for them I just don't want to be around those people).
