Gamers are often difficult to find as it is where I am, but right now I'm at the point where I might possibly be joining a group that plays mainly Fallout, but some D&D. I prefer D20M, but I'll just make do, and Maybe I can convince them to try Modern.
Aside from that, there's plenty of Online Games, which I find just as enjoyable as PnP games.

I had some good luck here. I live in a small town and players can be hard to come by. But I found one, his gf plays too, and they knew a couple guys that played from the local theatre they are involved in.
Played our first game this week and had a blast. Story hour in .sig

After moving to a new area, I scoured a bunch of sites like access denied, and a few others, found a GM who was getting ready to leave and stole his group out from under him. After that (I still only had three players, I advertised here, in my FLGs and a few other sites. Now I have six players and a waiting list for my game as well as a number I've turned away or who weren't interested in our style play. I really got very very lucky. Our group is great. I managed to stumble into a group of roleplayers without a powergamer or rules lawyer in the unch...I am still waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Thanks for the sour persimmons, cousin.
Met my group through these boards, actually. The rest of my group found us through ads at the FLGS. And when we lost two of those members (international visiting students), we picked up another through a local e-mail list/group, TUGA, and then he brought in a friend. It's worked well, so far.

My pool of 20-odd gamers that I know, I all met through various connections.
My first regular group I met through high school - I saw a guy reading the 1E player's handbook in Typing class, and we struck up a conversation. Soon, I was introduced to about 5 friends who gamed. Most of them moved on from town a year or two later, but their younger brothers/sisters/nephews too up where they left off, and I gamed for several years more. (The weird thing about those five friends was they all had family about two years younger, who they introduced to gaming.)
After a dry spell of about two years, I met a person through work, who is now a dear and close friend. He introduced me to friends of his, about 6 strong, and we gamed for several years. Later on, after a few of the "old guard" moved back into town, and I got them re-interested, and gamed with various combinations of people over the next three years.
Finally, we met and introduced various others from work, from common interests, etc. - Culminating in knowing about 20-odd people who know each other, who keep in touch, and who game on a regular basis.
MY RECOMMENDATIONS:
Gaming stores
The "Gamers seeking Gamers" forum on ENWorld
Aquaintences from work with whom you share common interests.
It's also good to know that whoever you join could also share other interests with you besides gaming - it's good to meet through gaming, but it's ever so much easier to keep gaming regularly if the people you game with are friends.
