    It’s sad how many men don’t have friends outside of family and dates.

    If that’s you, please get friends. If you don’t know how, find a hobby where you’re likely to interact with other people, and interact with them. Even if it’s just smalltalk, that’s a start.

        The other risk is that you catch them in the middle of their boring health phase, and you have to pretend to be interested in running or cycling.

        I’ve always associated that with being a city thing, because I’ve lived in cities and suburbs, and I’ve never been a woman.

        In cities, most people won’t even say “good morning” back, but in the suburbs, you can strike up a whole conversation with someone just because you’re walking in the same direction.

      Or just go volunteer somewhere. Lots of great friendships are born out of time spent on a shared task, even if not glamorous or “fun”.

      Plus the whole 'will I fit in" doesn’t really exist at the homeless soup kitchen, because they are happy for anyone. You are welcome to be there.
