In order to avoid this guy's fuckup, you have to take the initiative: find some nice looking people and tell them you're new to the meetups and /vrg/ etc then suffer through the interrogation of how are you liking vr and modelling questions and such. Talk lots, be forward, ask for recommendations about whatever you're being asked about. If you sit in the corner of the meetup no one will notice you because there's probably like 80 people all chatting and drinking and they're all preoccupied with their night. Repeat a bunch of times with different groups and go say hi to ones you've already talked to. You will find ones you do and don't mesh with so hang out with people you do.
It works exactly the same way as making friends irl like you've done all through school, work, etc. If you can't do it, you're probably autistic or the reason why no one likes you.
