Maybe "Hey, want to meet at X [pub/sports bar] to watch the game?"

Honestly I'm quite introverted and not usually the one to suggest a meet up, but someone has to, right?

Most people like to be helpful, or talk about shared interests. Worst case they say "dunno, sorry".

Maybe try a different activity that involves more interaction with people? Some kind of team sport or cross fit maybe? Martial arts?
This is great advice. Along those lines I would say try BJJ (jiu jitsu)
That is as close and intimate as you can get with other individuals who arent your wife.
You forge a strong bond with your team mates as you go to war daily on the mats and a mutual respect and bond is made through that fire.

One time I forgot my towel so had to stand naked under the hand dryer to dry my crack and sack. I used paper towels for my upper body.

It seems someone made a complaint to reception as two manlet personal trainers spoke to me on my way out.
